Older gaf are old are you?

Hitting the big 5 0 this year.

Still as passionate about gaming today as I was as a kid back in the 80's. The only difference is family, work and life often get in the way of playing them these days.
 
>sigh< I don't know where I stand in Topher Topher years, but I will be 56 in a few months.

There is no easy way to do this so just repeat these words after me...


"I'm as old as Topher"

I will be 38 on Sunday, the same day as the Xbox show 😍💚. I cant wait, my wifes letting me use the Xbox bedding for the weekend and hopefully she will suck me off while I play Starfield, then on Sunday were going for some greasy meal then home for more Xbox, then the showcase 💪🟢.
 
I have to say I'm more surprised than I should be that gaf is filled with a bunch of old people lol.
 
That's Jackie Robinson's number! 😃

I used to match my birthday age with a professional athlete's number.

My favorite year was 10 years old because of Guy Lafleur.

Now at 58 I got nothing besides maybe Kris Letang of the Pittsburgh Penguins 🙄
I'm aiming for either marc marquez or Jorge lorenzo.
 
I am 40+. I'm not giving my exact age. I don't want you freaks knowing more about me than I have to.

Early 30's

And 12 inches

I'll make a single concession to my previous statement. I am about half the size of this guy.

About to turn 42. Been on NeoGAF for 21 years.

That's right. I've spent half of my old ass life on this gaming forum.

👶...👦...🧓...🧟‍♂️
 
Not really too old compared to others here at 34, but I have more game time than ever and will almost certainly go up even more within the next year or two.
 
I know what it is and I have used it.

P.S - But in reality, it's not how old you are that matters. What matters is how you feel and how old you are inside. Because the moment the connection with your inner child is severed, that's when you've truly aged. That's why Topher Topher is always 16. :messenger_grinning:
 
40. I was born in 85. Gaming is better than it's ever been. I didn't follow the traditional path, but I'm grateful for what I've accomplished. I still love life and gaming.

Last night I heard my brother in law's dad fell at his house and died. There's no sense wasting life worrying about stupid stuff.

something made me think of this thread today

I was filling up gas and this old ass came up at the pump behind me on a loud as fuck Harley Davidson, I'm talking like fucking ear drum bursting loud to the point where I could hear the nigga coming in with my headphones in my damn ears, I think it was like an 80's Softail that clearly had been straight piped cause that bitch rang my fucking head. I turn around with the please dont stab me face like ey, I see the guy smiling from ear to ear. I nodded at him and then I realise he's pointing at me I immediately thought, damn I'm about to get into some shit cause there are some hardcore oldschool biker gangs around here and lets be real most these dudes are old ass white guys that hate black folks.

Anyway, he keeps pointing and nodding with this goofy ass fucking smile, when he finally takes off his helmet and dude is like at least 75 years old. I was confused as fuck so when he finally turned off the damn bike noise I said hey can I help you bro? He just comes up and says 'I beat that shit. It took me a long time but I fuckin beat it.' I was so confused then I realised he was pointing at my Dark Souls tee lmfao... When the penny dropped I was like damn you play games like that at your age bro? he just nods and says 'well both my wife and girlfriend are dead so I got a lot of time' and I dunno man I was thinking about that shit all the way home. I cant imagine playing hard games in my fucking 70s :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: what a boss.

I'm turning 45 this year but still feel like I'm in my 20s. I still dress like I did back then. Going good aside from the odd muscle cramp and the white beard I keep getting reminded of.

I'm thinking in today's age 30s and 40s are the young adult stage you can still look and feel like a youngster, but 50s is full on grown-ass man territory and no looking back. Maybe the number is just a bit scary and also most of my dad's siblings went before 50.

But Gaffers over 50, how is it like?
