Very few people know

But I'm a 40 year old video gamer. I've been into games since they began in the 80's. Alley Cat, Zaxxon, Doom, Wolfenstein were where I began. Up to now playing Total War, GTA V, Company of Hero's and anything else I want from Steam. I've been into it for so long that I've built my own PC after changing too many consoles. This is a guilty pleasure of mine, but should I feel bad about it? Somehow I do, like everyone is judging me and thinking that I'm doing kids stuff. But then again I could spend hours watching The Kardashians, The Bachelor, or any amount of sporting events. All of that is a wast of time to me, I'll keep my games thanks.

I see nothing wrong with this. I don't game myself but it's a hobby, just like anything else. It's when the hobby takes over a person's life and the person becomes a shell of their former self that it becomes something to question. For example, a friend of mine is into fitness and has been since she was teased in high school about being chubby. She is the thinnest she's ever been in her entire life but her fitness hobby is borderlining on obsession. I often wonder how her young daughters are taking this all in. But hey, who am I to judge? I am obsessed with the Royal Wedding.

I’m not a gamer but my boyfriend is- big time. He’s in his 30’s and has built his own computer as well. It’s a hobby, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. At least you have a hobby! Video games are fun and there are so many different types to play these days. I’ve thought about trying it myself.

As long you don’t develop an addiction and let it take over your life, it’s really no big deal. At any age. Besides, there are waaay worse things you could be doing with your time.

Have fun and enjoy yourself!
