I am 33 and can’t stop. I have a feeling I’ll be 63 and still playing.
From CNN…

A survey compiled by the Entertainment Software Association and released at E3, the video game industry’s major trade show in Los Angeles, found that a slight majority of video game players are now over 18 years of age.

In fact, the average age of game players was 31 and the average age of buyers was 36, with men making up 59% of the playing audience.

What do you STILL do that a “grown up” should have stopped doing a LONG time ago?

    When I eat Oreos, I pull them apart and eat the white stuff out of the middle first. I can eat a whole pack in one sitting… I wasn’t allowed to do that when I was a kid. But now when I eat Oreos, I gotta wait til my wife goes to bed.

    Every now and then — just with my preschool-aged relatives, *never* by myself — I’ll watch Sesame Street.

    Things were so much simpler back then.

    I still indulge myself in the old school nintendo game of Duck Hunt!!! There is something about that dog walking on the screen and then jumping over the bushes! He makes me want to be better!

    AHAHAHA. How do you know you your an addicted, compulsive blogger? Your wife tries to contact you through your latest blog post.

    Man that made my day. I just chuckled like Santa. Not the one at the mall, the one with a bowl full of jelly and elves and stuff.

    I still call my Daddy when any slightest thing goes wrong (right, like I really know what the “check engine” light in my car means…)

    I’m in the stage of fighting growing up…

    I still rub the silky/satiny part of the tops of blankets…and the lining of jakets. Yup. I like how it makes my finger tips tingle. I know…I am a psycho. Daniel and all my family make fun of me all the time. And just to make it clear how far I will take it, if you are sitting next to me in the movies or wherever and have a silky lining in your jacket, I won’t hesitate to rub it. The jacket, I mean.

    I love hello kitty stuff. I collect the 2-in-one pen pencil combos. Have no idea what to do with the pencil part, but I still love them.

    I also love My little Pony still, but refuse to buy the ones they sell in the stores now, they look stupid. I do have a MLP air freshener hanging off my rearview mirror.

    Also, if not one’s home on a cold day, I will wrap myself up in a blanket, plop a carton of ice cream in my lap and eat it straight out of the carton.

    Yeah, XBox 360 here…and a couple computer games, mostly first person shooter games. Why do I enjoy shooting things/aliens/people/etc. so much?? Something might be wrong with me….

    when i was little, i’d bring home every stray animal i found & until recently i’d still do that. that stopped when last year kaia and i were on a walk with a friend & we found a homeless kitten. it was right before Christmas, so we put up “found kitten” signs & said if one one calls looking for her, she’s be one of kaia’s Christmas gifts. well, no one claimed her, so we kept her…to make a long story short, she ended up giving all of us ringworm, ewwww! no more stray cats for us!

    Los, wasn’t the code: up, up, down , down, left, right, left, right, a, b, select then start?

    I see your problem. You did, “b, a” instead of “a, b”

    I still watch Looney Tunes. Got a 4 DVD set “for my kids” last Christmas.

    Nothing funnier than the coyote getting repeatedly crushed by large rocks.

    Except maybe for that one when Slyvester is trying to get Tweety out of that house with the hundreds of dogs in the yard. I am lame.

    I love video games and still watch old school cartoons. Oh Yeah, I almost never miss Batman and Superman on Boomerang!
