    I dont agree at all, some of the loveliest men I know play video games, personally id be much more interested in dating a man that plays video games regularly over someone who is always out drinking. Its a hobby like any other, no shame in it at all.

    I was a pretty keen gamer in my 20's and early 30's. Stopped mostly when life/marriage and all that got in the way. I'm 46 now and just can't seem to muster up the enthusiasm for it any more. I fire up a game like Insurgency or Day of infamy and after being killed about 20 times I just quit.

    Recently restarted Rainbow Six 3 and enjoy spending a few hours in the planning stages and sitting back giving go codes and watching how things pan out.

    Ready or Not is a kinda move on from Swat 4 but not going to be released till next year. Looks good.

    The lads who spend 4 hours a day playing FIFA while skulling cans with their friends are the same lads who would call a person spending a night playing Skyrim etc. a saddo loser. The irony is lost on them.

    Gaming is a hobby,many people in their 20,s and thirtys play games .
    Its like any hobby, many people watch tv, listen to music ,
    its no worse than anything else ,as long as its done in moderation .
    Some lads just play sports games or call of duty.
    Games are much more complex now, you can play online games with
    2 or 3 other people, in a squad like fortnite ,or player unknown battlegrounds .
    its certainly better than going to the pub every night or using drugs .
    Some people play games with their children ,
    like mario kart, music games, like guitar hero .
    I think 30- 40 per cent of gamers are women .
    Alot of people play games on phones .
    Some games are well scripted and have a interesting story.
    I watch some games on youtube , like the last of us ,
    as its like watching a film .The graphics on games now is at least as good
    as action scifi films from the 90,s .
