Who is over 50?

[Psycho Turtle]

I turned 50 years old over the weekend. In fact, I raced in our Nurburgring race on my birthday! Who else has reached the 1/2 century mark and races GT5? Thanks!

I'll be 50 later this year. But you may already know that. Not sure if I'll be playing GT5 after I turn 50 though. Only because I'll be playing GT6 👍

Yup, I'm 53. Still get a kick out of GT5.

One good thing about being this age is remembering the quality of video games from the initial wave. Racking up credits on the arcade game Defender. I went on a trip from Virginia to Florida in 1980 and at any stop that had that game I would have to play it and leave with the highest score. ncrthree up and down I95!

That's great! And yes, we have a real appreciation for the games today that is for sure. Frankly, I am still amazed at what GT5 does. The programming and mathematics must be mind boggling!

Yup, turned 50 in January. Shared a Pong game with my brother back in the seveties. I've gone thru 2 PS1s, 2 PS2s and I put a 320g hdd into my Phat 3 almost 3 years ago. Just had the video processor resoldered a month ago and its running better than ever. Amazing to realize I could have bought a nice car for what I have spent on games all these years

Wait...so you casually mentioned after the Nurburgring race that it was your birthday, but I don't recall you ever mentioning that you had just turned 50. You sure don't sound it when you talk.

As for myself, I'm only halfway there. Got a little ways to go.

52 here, still love to play decent racing games. Been back to GT5 playing a bit lately getting ready for the GT6 demo after having been playing Forza 4 for a while.

Pretty much the only games on my consoles are GT, Forza, Madden NFL, and NCAA Football oh and I do play Magic the gathering online sometimes with my brother.

That's because I still think I'm a kid. But, I know what you mean. When I hear myself talk I think to myself no one would ever believe I was 50. Heck, I don't believe it!
