Hoosierhoopster Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's kind of funny to be 'gaming,' especially online, at my age, but then gaming is basically ageless. I play The Division pretty regularly with a group of guys (who range in age from 20 to 50), the character building, equipment, weapon and mod builds within the dark zone and mission environments is entertaining. Anyone here play Division? Or what games do you play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodos Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have a couple of NCAA '14 leagues that I run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 ^^ Cool, Kodos. If I played the NCAA games I'd get on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Madden, 2K and FIFA guy here. Just bought a Switch so I can play FIFA and 2K when I'm on the road now. Hoping they end up being as good on Switch as Xbone so I can just buy them on one platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 ^^ Used to play some FIFA. It's a really well done game. 2K is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I just assumed that with the median age here, Solitaire was considered gaming. Who'dathunkit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: I’m planning on preordering a PS5. I think it drops Mid Nov. Between myself and my son who just turned 10 years old. When we are stuck inside the house, we each have a PS4 & SimWorks performance gaming PC. We share a driving simulator that has iRacing and Rfactor loaded on it. He also has an Oculus Rift S that he plays around with. We really enjoy doing something competitive. It’s fun for us. I’ve had him in sports since he was 4 years old. He plays them all but I think he likes soccer and basketball the most. He even races USAC nationally and has since he was 5. I don’t let him sit on a gaming console or PC if the sun is shining. I’d rather he be outside being creative, swimming, riding his dirt bike or even playing his guitar or with friends. Like myself, he gets bored once the lights go on or it’s raining or snowing outside. Instead of watching Tv, he and I will do some kind of activity. Toys, board games, instruments, chase the Yorkies around the house and of course, video games and streaming on TwitchTV. Im always busy with work stuff so I try and steal every minute that I can with him. He is more than two grade levels ahead in most subjects and still has a 2 hour tutor session once a week so my reward for doing well and paying attention is usually “online” time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are both a fun dad and a responsible dad - nice. My kids are older now, youngest just turned 17, but followed similar approach. I mean, computer gaming is amazing, would’ve been blown away if I’d had it as a kid (Google Orthanc, that’s the closest we had as kids lol), but they’re there for boredom and fun, not to leave kids glued to. pretty funny for me really, lawyer by day, pvp’er by night lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never installed it. I couldn’t find anyone to play it with. Most of my online friends are into Apex Legends, Siege, Modern Warfare, Rocket League, Pub G Etc. Most games are cross platform these days. Once you have a PS5 though, it’s party chat and n00b crushing time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div is pretty unique in its combination of extremely detailed open-world PvE and PvP 3d person loot and shoot, along with build development and exotic c and named weapons. Definitely need friends or peeps to team up with though or it gets old fast, especially PvP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Thinking about buying a Playstation used. Mostly for NCAA 14 college football. Is PS3 still a viable option or should I just get a PS4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 so wife and I can fight it out in the octagon. And I'm pretty sure she will like grand theft auto. PS3 for my IU dynasty. I'm that way with cars too. Had a rental last year and wife liked the back up cam. Told her in 10 yrs she can have one. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Not much time anymore. Was very serious gamer until my daughter was born. Played in a clan that competed in Call of Duty and Battlefield starting all the way back on the PS2 with the network adapter running dsl. Now it’s more casual games I can do for like 30-40 mins to wind down and go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
