I play GW almost every day with my son. He's 11 & I'm 36. My daughter and wife aren't really interested and don't understand the appeal of online gaming. I don't usually tell people that I still play games, because most adults my age are too judgemental. They assume that because you play games you are childish or immature and cannot be taken seriously. I learned along time ago that I'm not really living my life to it's fullest if I have to play by the rules of others.

I can only hope that a cyber cafe is close to my retirement home when I get old.

The social scenarios & real world parallels of MMOG(RPG)s are finally getting the recognition they deserve, not to mention their power as legitimate resources for education.
We have not seen the last of MMOG (RPG) being used as tools in education, most notably the application and possibilities for use with students with developmental disabilities and special needs.

Some synopses of articles on gaming and mainstream education:

Have a son, 34, daughter, 32, daughter, 19, and a grandson, 15, all playing Guild Wars. Trying to get another daughter and a couple more grandkids into it. Just like old times at the kitchen table, only now the kids don't fight with each other.

Ahhh nothing like a little bloodshed to bring the family together. My brother and I often get together to rid the world of pests. We even went as far as having our charcters use the same last name.

That's the best thing I've ever read on these forums.

I'd say "have fun" but I'm sure fun is not something your group lacks!

my whole family(my self, my husband, and my two sons) plays guid wars almost every night! we all have a guild and share the same last names, so it makes me very happy to see gaming getting some good rep out there ^_^

Getting my little brother to play Guild Wars was the worst decision I have ever made. Now not only does he annoy me in real-life, but he can annoy me in-game as well. I get alittle peace and queit though, because sometimes I put him on my ignore list.

Ken Dei · Apr 23, 2006, 04:39 AM // 04:39

hehe, GW dinner talk.

"Luxon!"
"Kurzick!"
"Luxon!" *reachs for knife*
"Kurzick!" *reach for fork*
"Stop fighting of no FoW after dinner!"
"Awwwww...."

Thom · Apr 23, 2006, 05:07 AM // 05:07

My brothers are flung across the country, but guild wars provides some good family time. GvG has definitely been discussed over dinner during holidays.

I am young enough to admit to online gaming, but sometimes you get an " oh EverCrack" like response which is when I try to convice them that things are getting better.
