I conceded 3 years ago in the fact that i'm getting suckier at games... I'm just not as good now (25) then I was at 16... No stress anymore... and the fact that there are more important things in life when your 25 then videogames.. Like paying the rent.. so I don't stress out about videogames anymore..

Actually, I think I have gotten better with age.  Then again, I was a hardcore gamer starting with Utopia on the Mattel Intellivision back in 1982...

I think that since I have aged at the same rate as the video game industry... (it was born at the same time I was) I have literally "grown up" with it.  I would take on a 16 year old version of myself any day of the week, and whip myself silly. 

Hmm, then again, no matter which version of myself won, I'd technically still be whipping myself... okay then, just forget I said anything at all.
