I checked the profile for the person who is just owning Radiant Silvergun in this video:

Now, unless the player lied, he is apparently 65 years old!!!!

I'm twenty-eight and I'm not good. Who says age slows you down?

Most likely he's an underage kid who was forced to put in a fake age just so he can access the "mature" videos on youtube. I see it all the time. Either that, or he just doesn't want to share his real age. For a while, I did, but now I don't.

Yeah I had to do that in order to watch a couple of episodes of beavis and butthead otherwise I would never have even bothered with a youtube account. Meh being 36 online is fine by me, not like it matters anyway.

Yeah, I figured as much. Although it would be pretty awesome to see a sixty-five year old dude play like that.

Wife and I used to go play Ms. Pac Man every day at lunch in the mall. An old man, had to be 60+, literally walked with a cane, was also there every day. He at least tripled my high score. Pretty amazing.

That's awesome. I'd like to think that we'll all have some game we still rock at when we reach that age. Show those young whippersnappers a thing or two

I hope I don't lose my interest in video gaming as I reach my twilight years.

You folks talk about 65 like it's near death and senility. Heck, I'm a few days away from 46 and I consider myself a gamer through and through. I have a harder time finding TIME to play more than anything which is compounded by the fact that I have very diverse interests. I may not be the greatest gamer ever, I never was, but I usually don't entirely embarrass myself. I really didn't get into the home gaming scene until I was a young adult (when I got my Genesis new) but I played arcade games whenever I got the chance. Then and now my family members don't look at me funny when my Christmas list includes more games than anything else. My best gaming buddy is only a few years younger than me but I will admit his 11 year old son mops the floor with us most of the time, but then he has tens of hours a week to devote to nothing but gaming.

I'll be playing until I die! I know lots of old folks gamers so we aren't entirely an oddity!
