Came across an interesting article on Wired:
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/02/no-country-for-old-men/
So can you relate? Lots in there, what resonated more with you? With two boys 11 and 9 at home, I've switched from head to head gaming to cooperative gaming. Their reflexes are just too fast for me (and I don't consider myself slow). I don't think my gaming days are over by any stretch, but I think the realities are such that it calls for adjustments to my play style.
These leadership roles would seem to be tailor-made for the older gamer, interested more in tactics than being on the front lines. But the job of trying to transform a squadron of teenage strangers into a well-oiled machine must require the patience of a saint — like herding cats, if the cats stopped every so often to call you gay.
