I have a few of avid gamers in the family and DH and I used to be avid Doom fans but I sort of last interest when I was about your age Moggycuddler I found it started to make me nauseous as the graphics got better and better maybe to do with my worsening eyesight .
The boys are often off to gaming tournaments and win prizes, it’s not weird if it keeps you happy why not ignore negative comments.

Is it abnormal (or at least unusual) that at 63 I am interested in video gaming? Are any other older ladies out there doing this, sitting in their kitchen or somewhere, controller in hand, killing aliens or having adventures with Spiderman? I got into it after my 34 year old daughter let me have a bash on her console a couple of years ago. I ended up getting my own and my daughter and I swap games. My 67 year old husband isn't interested and a few people I've spoken to seem to think it's very weird at my age! I also enjoy heavy metal music, have done since my youth. Am I alone in these interests?? I think it helps keep me young at heart.
