Yeah,my wife is convinced I'm a basket case over new game hype-but that's alright. BTW-The new NCAA is good,too bad my team-The Fresno Bulldogs aren't! still having fun even though I'm 1-4.

You didn't have TV Pong as a kid?. That was my first console.

If you scroll down the right side of the page, I owned the Sears TV Pong , bottom picture.

Actually-Iv'e played tons of pong,just never owned it. The first game I "owned" was Pitfall. I also remember logging in quite a few hours on asteroids at the arcade and loving it.

4 kids (8,3,21 months, 6 months)

My biggest problem now is that my wife is addicted to playing HexicHD on the Live Arcade. She actually asked me to get her a 360 of her own

I don't ever see a time in my life when I stop playing games. I think the old stigma of videogames being "kid's stuff" has gone out the window a while back now.

Wow, some of you have a bunch of kids ! Only a 2 year old for me. I just give him the controller that is not in use and he thinks he's playing NCAA.

Ahh yes... time to print this thread out and give it to the wife.

39, 1 child (10 years old) 1 wife, 1 serious addiction to my 360 and NCAA 2007. Have always been a sports videogame fanatic since the days of Electric Football!! I don't see myself ever giving up sports videogaming and my fellow old heads shouldn't either! Remember, WE BUILT THIS GENRE!

I'm only 24, engaged, but am the legal guardian to my 15 and 10 year old brothers (recent family issues), and I see myself in the same boat you guys are in...older and with a HUGE love for video games. I don't see it changing, and the fiancee knows it. At least she enjoys games as well...still doesn't like that I spend the money on EVERY new system. Oh well, like a previous poster mentioned, there's worse things to have as a "hobby".
