Definitely not too old for that. Doesn't even sound like a teenage hobby. Sounds like a nice escape.

I do the same on my bike, I guess.

Play Portal. That's a perfect escapist kind of game, though not exactly 3-4 hours long.

so do you guys think it's just a meagre trend in newer games that's killing my/your/our enthusiasm, or the big bothersome IRL taking over? seeing as a large core of this bf2s community are all of the same generation, more or less, it's interesting to see the pattern of gameplay. even a year ago there was a considerable difference in activity in the game-discussions and general community gameplay. now this place seems more like a convenient board to come and shoot the breeze and kill some time. im really on a mega nostalgia binge. i miss the (rose-tinted) feeling of coming home from school and really wanting to chill and hop on vent/ts with my fps-team, or to log on to warcraft and relax for a few hours. weep.

I stopped playing because all my (IRL) friends did. At least, they moved on to WoW and I didn't want to play WoW. Well, some still play occasionally - but meh.

that's what i mean about everyone really rushing to grow up and become adult. i feel like i want to shirk that burden for as long as possible!

all my mates stopped playing games, so i did too. only a close-knit bunch of (home) friends still ride/skate/roll, so i barely ever get chance to get out for a good session or roadtrip anymore. im bored of being mature and responsible, it feels borderline ridiculous, haha.

my IRL circumstances differ, in that i'd been out of Uni and into a career, oh, before bf1942 came out. by bf42 i meant Doom.
i first started coming here to check stats, and one day clicked on 'forum'. i went back to playing bf2 and checking stats.
bf2142 came out and i came back to the forums, not just the bf2 section. i've learned quite a bit, and there are threads i wish i never clicked into.

I don't think that stopping gaming equates to rushing to grow up. It's not rushed ... we* just grew out of it, I guess. Or perhaps it's just that our interests changed - primarily thanks to uni: clubbing/drinking, clubs & societies, new friends, new way of life.

If you look at playing games as a form of wasting time, then I guess I just waste my time differently now: Forums, music, tv shows (not watching TV, I mean like US tv shows).

*anyone/everyone - not referring to me/my friends explicitly.

liquidat0r, it's just as universal to start gaming with friends as end it - there were guys i worked with that asked me if i played, i hadn't in awhile, and they told about the beta of a game called 'Battlefield 2'. it was supposed to be like the DC mod we used to play . . .

Then perhaps me and my friends will start playing again when some new game comes out that we're all drawn to - for nostalgic reasons, possibly.

Aside: Facebook really fucked up this latest update. More than 50% of the time, the bottom bar with chat/etc is non existent and I keep ending up with just a blank news/live feed.

i ponder this from time to time, i'm back off WoW again, it's so retarded now. but i got to thinking the other day about how much i used to enjoy every waking moment playing BF2. but as you said, it's great to look back on it all, even botting all the way thru Silkroad Online, that was soooo much fun

I haven't seen that one. I have seen some ads slip by ABP lately though.

Currently listening to the new Jay-Z album. As someone who doesn't really like rap it's not bad.
