I've long said that it is impossible to have a normal, adult conversation about video games without sounding like a 12-year-old boy.

And I think it's great!

Somewhere I read that "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing" (Bernard Shaw said it according to the internet, the problem with internet quotes is you never now for sure)

I'm 47, married, kids, house, and career. With all the responsibility involved, sometimes it's good to take a break from the world, remember being 12 again, and go kill some dragons.

That said, my parents don't really understand WoW either and that's fine. They just know it as "your game" and that I play it with other people, and that sometimess I visit those other people in real life (gogo Jersey yearly meetup!)

My mom came in one time while I was flying around herbing on my druid. She just said "Is that you?" referring to the bird on the screen. And I said "Yup." And that was that, really.

She plays Farmville so she kind of understands the upkeep virtual worlds require, though.
