I'm 25 years old, slowly heading towards 26, and I've probably been playing games since I was 3, starting with the Atari 2600. After a short obsession with Q*Bert and Joust, I moved onto the NES and Super Mario Bros., and it all took off from there. I think we're in interesting times as far as gaming goes. There's been a bit more mainstream attention applied than there ever was before, due in part to the power that consoles possess both now and in the near future. Also, as a lot of us move into our mid to late 20's without having grown out of something that we loved as kids, we're able to "get the word out", so to speak, about one of our favorite hobbies. I also think things are heading in an interesting direction when it comes to online content and distribution, particular with what is being done on something like Sin Episodes (episodic content at a budget price), and whether or not that will all become the norm at some point down the line. It'll be a lot of fun to see how things actually go down this year with the next two major console launches, and how things are affected from there.
