Surveys use the term 'gamer' to include anyone who plays Farmville on Facebook once in awhile.

The average age of people who label themselves as gamers would be a lot lower, methinks.

24 here, same boat as Erasmus - world ends the day I turn 25. Good times.

Mouhaha, I'm the old geezer here. 38 and 3 kids too, the elder being taller than me and older than DeathFang.

Last years ESCA report in the US said around 42/43 I believe. O_o

26 makes me one of the older (and no doubt wiser) chaps around.

I got BW in 1998 and started playing it like crazy on line in 2001.

I'm a 27 year old kid. I have been gaming since my old man built a PC that took those giant 8" floppy disks and I played Frogger on it in the late 80's. I will probably still be gaming when I'm in my late 80's :P

Haha. We'll see whether I make it to my 80s. I'm vaguely worried that I'm going to die in a terrible canoe polo accident at some point. Regardless, I'll be playing games right up until that point.

Momentous times galore!

Good to hear everyone is a gamer through and through. I too have been gaming for a long long time and still love it. I keep saying as long as I'm paying the bills I can do what I want!

They count anyone who plays a game as a gamer. So that includes The Sims, Angry Birds, and any other little flash/iphone game. If it was just competitive games I'm sure it would be lower.

I'll also add myself to the list of people with kids as I have 2 myself =)
