I'm 25, played mostly on PC games, got my PS2 only 2 years ago. When i was in uni, had lots of friends playing games, we setup our own LAN and battle it out for hours to no end. We are even crazy enough to go LAN an hour b4 the finals. But now working, most of my friends are no longer into gaming. We still chat and hang out but gaming was never a topic. And coz of my work, i can only play for a few hours on weekdays. On weekends, if its not an emergency, knock the other door.

Maybe its just my experience, but the ppl around me kinda look down on gaming, like its a phase of life that u need to grow up from. I mean, i work, pay the bills, pay my taxes, just that i decide to put gaming a priority. They're into cars, im into PC hardwares, they meet new people, i meet new people every day from across the globe.
