Hearthpwn

38. Almost there.
Started with Atari 2600. Favorite game: River Raid.
Rode BMX until Nintendo Family Computer hit the scene. First game was Mario and Top Gun. Favorite game: Mario Bros 3.
Played on my friend's Sega, then Doom and other DOS games on PC. Favorite DOS game: Incredible Machines.
Earthworm Jim on Windows 95. (wow 256 colors)
Then Tekken and Gran Turismo on Playstation.
I had a phase where I was pretty competitive on the local arcades playing Tekken Tag Tournament.
These days, young kids just kick my butt on fighting games. I don't have the split-second reflexes anymore.
Same with Overwatch, can't really climb past gold.
Oh and I picked up Magic and Legend of the Five Rings in college.
Today I ride a mountain bike and play on PC.
Gamers don't grow old, we just change toys.

Love this thread! 37 here. Job, wife, 2 kids. Used to play MTG for 15+ years. It became to expensive for me and hard to get to events. Hearthstone is so much cheaper and accessible for me. 

I remember when pc gaming was making a line box by entering in codes. Boy that was fun....and so advance chit. Of course in the seventies all the powerful pcs were bigger than my car. 

I.e. found in the gaming movie ( War games).

44 here, pretty much only play Hearthstone now. Was a big Heroes of Might and Magic fan for a while. First computer had 2 KB of RAM, no storage at all. Man, things have changed a lot since I was a kid!

We want Matlock! We want Matlock!

Hi, 43 years old. I have three kids.

I used to be an international bridge player, before I had to quit because of my (real) job. Went into HS looking for a game of skill similar to bridge, but HS has been huge disappointment till now. I still play nevertheless because it is a lot fun, without having to be competitive.

You are not alone  44 here. Gamer for 35, and will be till death. 

Just turned 43. Played games all my life and plan to keep doing that.

read somewhere that the average HS player age is fairly high.  Presumably a lot of 40 something casual players who came from magic or other tcg's.

someone have a link on official stats on age distribution?

add me to friend list.   

37 and 3 kids, been playing since Colecovision!

42 and two kids - watching  hearthstone on twitch did make me feel like i was having a mid-life crisis 

but i am a competitive gamer with little downtime and always mobile - so hearthstone fits.

Just amazing, I'm 26 year old and I'm glad to know that we have this kind of public here at the community, with wife, job, kids and responsibilities. It's just an honor for to play with people like you sirs.

Glad you appreciate us (42 y/o player here).  Those things are why most of us won't really ever compete with you, but we still have our fun.

I'm 37 and will probably still be playing HS when I hit 40. At least I hope so - I want this game around for a long time.

Anyway, I'm married, and work full time but no kids yet. Don't get to play as much as I'd like to but I enjoy it when I can.

44.  If anyone wants to add this "old man", feel free.

I play on NA.  N0Sp00n#1422

If you can't see them ; ) all the o's are replaced with the number zero...it's okay, I have my glasses on too : )

40 here. I quit WoW two years ago when my daughter was born (just not enough hours in the day), so the odd game of Hearthstone is all that's left to me.
