Why We Like Video Games
Nearly half of older Americans—and a larger percentage younger than us—play games. Why do we like playing games like Candy Crush, Angry Birds or AARP’s own Right Again! Trivia? This article suggests why. What's your top reason for playing?

I’ve always liked games that let you be creative or show off some personality. That’s why I got into customizing stuff in online games. I even found a cs2 skin site where you can trade and explore different looks for your gear — it adds a fun layer to the game, like collecting cool stuff that you can actually use while playing.

Unfortunately, YES. Can’t play moving video games, just static games like crosswords and trivia. Get nauseous and/or migraine around moving, blinking, strobe or lots of lights. Went to a disco ONCE but couldn’t stay. Have to be careful about concerts with light shows – not attend or keep eyes shut and hand over eyes if bad. Also bad motion sickness while riding. Bad eyes and ears my whole life, which are obviously connected.

i like playing the games because it's fun plus it is something to do. i like candycrush saga, uno, solitaire classic & pyramid, but my all time favorite is Ms. pac-man. some of the more complicated ones belongs to the younger generation but the ones i mentioned above are "classic" fun.

I like playing DC online because I have also been big with comic books mainly I like marvel comics. but marvel doesn't have a game like this that allows me to play with people all around the world or by myself. I can build choose powers, fighting style, roles my character or characters I can play. build stats. It is being in a whole other would . I can also talk to other players to plan our strategy how to take the bosses down and also get tips from other player. there are disadvantages too. because it is people from al over the world there can be language barriers. but I like the challenge.

THANKS !
I saw an email from them this week but haven't read it yet.
Do you do the dailies online or print them out?
Except for the AARP points crosswords, I prefer physical books - they are easier on my old eyeballs than screens
Have a Blessed Sunday!
Have a Wonderful Weekend !

I an in my eighties and spent more time reading books and doing things, but it is nice once in a while to get absorbed in a video game. I started playing Guild Wars 2 with my grandson years ago when he was a teenager. It is a MMORPG (massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and you can play alone or in small or large groups with people all over the world. The game has so many levels and so many things to do it is endless and once purchased costs nothing to play ever again. Whenever I get bored I can always return to the game and pick up where I left off.

Video games? I prefer spending my time in the Real World. What I mean by that is going out to nightclubs to spend time with my friends, making new friends, listening to great live music, dancing, showing appreciation for the musicians, everything that makes life worth living.
