Adult, Mature, Cool Gamers

After spending this weekend with my headset on, during the Vault of GLass listening to a bunch of teens bicker over why Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is or isn't going to suck, How much Infinity Ward is better than Treyarch, and how they are not going to school to play the Day Zero Edition, I realized that I desperately need new friends on PSN. Almost all of my acutal friends have an XBox and I personally don't like the thing. SO...I am stuck making friends at random during Public events, Strikes etc. I am a 30 yr old man with a wife and a 10 month old. I am trying to start my own business and things get rough. From time to time, I like to take my frustrations out on the faces of aliens with well placed scout rifle fire. I had a headset, but I decided to keep it on mute because really, all I wanted was to get this raid done FINALLY! (But that didn't happen because the two kids who were the most boastful and the most chatty were also the two who COULDN'T SHOOT WORTH A DAMN!) I don't need want to hear about how COD is better than every other game ever. I don't want to hear teens talking bull because there is no parent there to check their language. I don't care how your dad just got (insert newest gadget or game here) because he doesn't know you're actually failing your English class. I don't want to be in a party full of kids who spout random rap lyrics because it's the only part of the song they know. And I REALLY don't need to be in a party full of white boys who want to say the "n-word" sooooooo badly that every time they do, they snicker a little bit because they don't think that anyone in the party is black. (I'm black by the way) Sure I could've jumped in and said something to them but to be honest....why? I've worked at Gamestop and Bestbuy. I've seen these types of kids in person. I've seen their parents. I've heard all the bull the parents give for letting their child talk and act in such ways. I know the reason this child is about to get the most violent video games on the market and I also know why he thinks it's ok to say whatever the hell he wants just because it's no one can see him. I'm not here to parent these kids or even argue with them. I'm here to play and have a good time before I have to get back to the grind. I'm looking for adult, mature, cool, down to earth gamer friends. I am looking for people who just want to play, get some sweet loot, get up to that illusive level 30, and kick some darkness ass. If this is you, please add me and hopefully our schedules will work out where we're killing aliens in some sweet sweet raid gear. PS3: mjbatman798

  • PS3 TheMattGraham Had our first baby 4 weeks ago, little boy :D Just looking for some mature gamers to play with. I'm pretty casual, don't play all the time, but I try and play 2-3 nights a week. I enjoy team work, and I don't play like I'm in a huge rush. I'm just trying to enjoy myself. Look me up.

  • I may be a "young 'un" but even though I'm 24, my 2 kids (3 year old and a 1 year old) have made me a very patient man. I still have my childish moments, but usually it's just because I'm trolling a random idiot that likes to think his pants are made of gold. Add me, I play quite often (but may be dropping off here soon due to a possible move). DV-Insomiac

    I totally agree I'm 40yrs old married with two kids 6 & 12. been gaming since old days of zx81. I'm. Just a hard working regular guy that's likes to chill out without screaming kids going on about how they know what's best. Only tonight whilst doing raid a young kid was trying to tell me what to do and sighing because he thought his way was correct even though other experienced members advised him otherwise. In the end I had to mute him. Then once we completed he had the audacity to send a friend request. Needless to say I didn't accept. Add me on ps4 Psn mitsubushix lvl 30 hunter based in good old UK

    • I'm on 360 and will admit, am a teenager. But to me it seems I'm one of the only mature "kids" that I know. I'd very Much enjoy playing with mature members of the community as the immaturity/stupidity I'm used to dealing with gives me raging headaches. Due to currently being in high school I have a good bit of time to play which helps with timezone differences (I'm in eastern) and people playing after work.

    • Add me for some game time, I'm on the east coast 28 and got some time every once in a while when I'm not watching Sons of Anarchy with my wife. I have a couple of buddies that talk shit but they won't sit there and start talking about random game stuff... Honestly we need a group of dads that are specific to Role playing(not the kind in the bedroom :P) but basically we play let's keep it about the game especially while in missions and VoG, like talking strategy or talking the room like when getting to atheon and calling out where you have been portaled to. Add me if your game sometime :)

      • You are one of us.... Which is a good thing I think. Although I myself might suck at shooting. But here at DoD, we have the wisdom to realize and admit it. No pretenses here. We all have responsibilities so no one doesn't understand why u can't play or dogs ur abilities. Hell I think we all could kick ass if we didn't have responsibilities, but we all help each other as a team. No bullshit Add me: dru_hill420
