@DeathUriel, while I appreciate where you were going with this, I think you got us old folk all riled up!
I just turned 43 and like @Highlar, I've passed the love of games on to my kids. And, you'll find this funny, my love of games came from my grandfather. Yep, when I was little, I played Colecovision with him whenever we'd visit him. At the time, he was in his 60's and we were hardcore Baseball players.
I know my father-in-law is equally into games, maybe skewed more towards pinball, but he loves Q-bert... and, funny enough, some of my wife's favorite memories were going to her Opa's house and playing Soccer on his NES.
I guess my point is, just because we're old doesn't mean we grew up and out of what we love. I still feel like I'm a kid (probably why I get along with my kids so well!!), except now I have expendable income to use on my favorite hobby! As a college-aged, financially strapped young guy, I had to scrounge for games...
BTW, rarely does a day go by that I am not wearing a video game themed shirt or other garment. In my field, that's my shirt and tie!
