I was having an argument with my friend over which age group of gamer was the best.  He was saying the older the better because they've experienced so many more gens than younger gamers.  

But I countered that with,  if you're 50,  you might only have 5 more gens of gaming left where as I'm in my twenties and I've a hell of a lot more.  I don't think you can argue with that.  

Edit: apologies to any old fogies this makes sad :'(

Of course one can argue with this specious empty logic.  You can't say "X is better than Y" because of future accomplishments that X may or may not achieve.  If gens are getting more spaced apart in time, then old gamers still win because they will experience more gens by the time they die (the pace was faster in their youth).  By your argument, a fetus is the greatest gamer in the world.  Sorry, but that is a really, really, really weak counter.
