Goin' home

It's not often I do something spontaneous, but this had to happen.  This morning I won a SkyAuction (www.skyauction.com) to get back to Chicago for a few days.  I'm going this weekend for the opening of the Simpsons movie, to hang out with a friend of 20 years, drink lots of beer, and just generally recharge.

Low Rollers clan concept

Even though 2old2play is a superb place to find mature gamers, not all of us are skilled at the games we want to play.  Even older gamers can become frustrated when they're consistently the lowest-ranked player in a match.  The goal for the Low Rollers clan is to provide a place for these people to meet up and play with people of their own skill level.

Can videogames be an addiction?

This week's Time magazine cover story explores the science of addiction. The article focuses mainly on traditional addictions, such as drugs and alcohol. Although this particular article doesn't mention gaming as an addiction, I've seen and heard it discussed many times. Most recently, I listened to a portion of NPR's "Talk Of The Nation" yesterday (7/10) discussing the article. Several gamers called in to report they are or were addicted to videogames, playing many hours a day.

"You've got some gray going on there."

That's what a colleague said to me yesterday.  He's an older guy, around 60, with plenty of his own grey hair.  Since I like and respect this guy, I know he wasn't just saying that to smart off.  I guess it means my grey hair is getting pretty noticeable.
