well he's saying my prime's behind me

i didn't even notice i was in my prime back then

i want a refund

It's really hard to notice, unless looking back, you gradually get worse and worse at tetris, bullet hells and fighting games and if you thought you were bad before, you suddenly understand that you weren't. That was your prime. There are bonuses being past it, though, you get better at strategizing, concocting evil plots, complaining and being mean to newbies.
That's why we get no refunds, I think.

I increasingly suck at fpses now. My age is showing T.T

for that you need to be in teens, it has nothing to do with being at your prime!

I've always sucked at video games my entire life, my skills have nowhere to go but up, I couldn't even beat super mario bros when I was a kid, I bet I can now.

I had a lot of patience for platformers and the like when I was a kid. Not anymore though. I could combo kill anyone in Puyo-Puyo too, now I can barely do a 3 step match-3 combo. I hate old age.

you got robbed!
you still were good at something, just try to remember, I know it's hard but try!

That's it for me exactly! I had almost infinite patience for platformers while much younger, now I have almost no tolerance, unless really creative, fluid, beautiful and original, not to mention short and not too hard, lol
It always amazes me that so many people can play platformers all their life just fine. If I need to repeat level more than 2 times nowadays, that's it, goes to nope folder, it's especially true for minimalistic ones.

Dare any of you in your 30's to get on a DDR machine and play a round.

Why would you do that? You know that broken bones heal much longer at that age?
DDRs were awesome to watch, but not to play, actually, for me that is.

I'm totally ok for losing any skill I had in FPS for my new found appreciation for strategy games.

That's what I call positive thinking!
me too, actually
 
First the pain of seeing another with a game I'll never have on Steam, and now the reminder that I'm old.

Steam thread's just filling me with despair right now.

I still feel fine in FPS games, but I can't really play RTSes or games of that ilk due to the mass clicking reducing my hand to dust.

I'm 45. Listening to some of you talk, I should be sitting on the Golden Throne, my withered husk of a body sustained by machines and the sacrifice of a thousand psykers a day, guiding ships through the Warp with the power of my mind (and posting on NeoGAF).

Seriously, guys, 25+ is not fucking "old". :p

Hey, I don't feel 45. (I'm not quite sure what 45's supposed to feel like, actually. Though listening to some of these guys, I think I should be feeling half-dead, with the reaction times of a comatose turtle. Or maybe three-quarters dead.)

The older you get the more you realize that older adults are not "mature adults", we're just better at bullshitting young kids.

People like to think they are losing their FPS skills, but the truth is you never had it.

Lol. I used to always be in the top 3 in COD4, MW2, MW3, BO. Now I don't play COD (and that's a good thing), but I still suck at other fpses. Can't react for shit.

Oh well there's always dota

Speaking of skill, I just shot an apple off someone's head in Probably Archery on my first try.

So, what the best place to order DS II from? I have the GMG code but I think I read that someone got it for much cheaper?

Do I buy OlliOlli Vita for 3,19€ or do I wait for the Steam version? It looks like a game more suited for a mobile device but what if it gets trading cards and Playfire awards? I could earn money by waiting. Argh.

More good deals here for EU-based PS3Vita owners: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/04/09/playstation-store-easter-sale-begins-today/ Wolf Among Us is even cheaper than on Steam (ignoring Russian traders and technical deficiencies of the console versions of course).

Nah. You still need skillz for COD, its just hard to distinguish kill-streak abusers with those of actual skill. Winning MW3 free-for-all specialist without dying was my greatest accomplishment in COD.

It was also pretty fun to run with pistol only and pwn noobs. So many hacking accusations lol

It might be a bit cheaper on Nuuvem, but if you have some Playfire bucks you can make the gmg deal real sweet.

This reminds me of Major League:

Board Member 1: I've never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.
Charlie Donovan: Most of these guys never had a prime.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I'm pre-ordering DS II immediatly when my Arkham City cashrewards are tranfered to my GMG account. 25% off + 6 Pounds in rewards makes for a nice discount. Not as awesome as what Nabs has, but still. Good stuff. ^^
