Hammer & Sickle might just be the game that forces me to throw in the towel, auction off my computer, order an Xbox with the new Doom game and concede that "I'm too old for this shit".
This reminded me of a favorite line from a favorite short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer called The Admirer about an elderly but passionate story writer who encounters a young female literary groupie who plays coy with him. He chases her around for the first half of the story with the ardor of a young man, but after a series of hilarious, slightly grim misadventures, he says to her near the end: "I'm too old for this!" :D
You remind me of the kind of demographic I prefer to have as colleagues: men who are half a generation or more older than me. They are good at telling stories and anecdotes of which they seem to have a limitless supply.
