“You’re too old for games” is the usual complain from either my girlfriend or my mum.
Ok, so they’re females and that means they know nothing about games whatsoever and clearly like to spend their time knitting and eating pastries.
To which my answer is always “Nonsense woman, now iron my pants and fetch my some tea”.

But I don’t think I am too old for games, never will be and never can be.
Why?
Because I’ve grown up watching video games evolve, I’ve seen where it started and I’m seeing the new directions it’s headed to. Always something there to keep me interested, keep me going back again and again to either a new console or a new PC addition that gives me more powerful gameplay (If anyone doesn’t have a 64mb video card then get the SR Sparkle Geoforce II MX400…astonishing).
My point is, it’s not like I’ve had the same game since I was a kid and nothing else.

No siree. I started with an Atari. This massive black box with paddle controllers and some rubbish games like Combat and Night Driver. Even as a 7yr old, I sat there thinking “This is rubbish.” But it was all there was, so you played it anyway.
Then a BBC Model B, 32k that was. Oooo I was happy.
And the day when I got my Spectrum 128k +2. That had a tape deck built in.
Hurrah!
I’ve grown up watching video games get more and more class. Better graphics, better gameplay, better everything and I can’t think where this stuff will be in the next 10 years (except you lot will still argue about which is better, VR Mind Chips or Immersive Sim Games with body suits).

Actually, I started writing this topic as a serious look at video games and stuff but I’m bored with this topic already.
So what else?
RPGs. I bloody hate those things. Bad enough geeks troll about Games Workshop and eat their packed lunches, hunched over a board arguing about elves and pixies, now these games are on a machine.
Enough of such silliness.
And I cant stand Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Retarded show for horny geekboys to fantasise over Sarah Michelle Geller because you don’t have a girlfriend of your own.
Trust me, even if you landed Sarah for a girlfriend you’d think she was a porker and want Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
It’s a fact of life, you never want what you have, it’s always the other side of the fence.

And I don’t understand why people leap about in online games, it doesn’t mean you’re a better player, it just means you look like a stupid rabbit and I cant shoot you.
And that makes me angry, like the Hulk. But I don’t rip my shirt and get green.
I’m off for a smoke, talk amongst yourselves.

Commando for women.
Good if in jeans or slacks, bad if in cycling shorts or a dress.
