If there was an age limit on video games, then I would have missed out on a lot of fun times with my father and my children. When I was a kid, our parents got my sister and I an Atari 2600 (i know, showing my age) and we both had so much fun taking turns playing against each other and our dad on games like space invaders, missile command, yar's revenge, pac-man, etc. When I got older and had a wife and a newborn son, my wife got me a gamecube for my birthday. After my daughter was born and my children got older, we would spend time playing games together on the gamecube. They especially loved playing the multiplayer James Bond games with me so they could "gang up on Daddy." I hope one day to be able to do the same with any grandchildren I will hopefully be blessed with. Fun and enjoyment does not and should not have an age limit. Some people are just to uptight and entitled. Probably need to find a good proctologist to remove the stick up their butts, too.
I am in the same boat as you in the early’80’s I got a TRS80 computer and bought some games to go with it over time. These were the original Zelda, and Avalon Hill Game Company’s versions of Wooden Ships and Iron Men and Advanced Squad leader. My board gaming goes back to the ‘60’s and my parents did have Pong before I moved away. I am younger than Shirley Curry, the Skyrim Grandma, but by less than a decade and play Skyrim and the Fallout Games. Age doesn’t matter, enjoy your hobbies. Oh! I recently bought a Steam Deck 😊
@@michaeltelson9798 yep. Can't beat the boardgames either. Friday nights that was what Dad and I would do. Few games of Stratego, countless rounds of checkers. I miss those days. Didn't win most of the time, but always had fun.
My grandmother got an Atari 2600 in the early 80’s because her son had one and SHE liked it. My uncle was a grown man with kids my age at the time. She was in her 50’s. She didn’t have much of an education but she figured out the pattern for Pac-Man and could play for hours on one man! She eventually developed a permanent callas on her thumb. She would let me come anytime I wanted and that’s what we did: we played games. Not always the Atari. Sometimes Yahtzee,Tri-ominoes, card games, etc. In the summer, she had a pool and we went swimming. Whatever we did, always ended up playing hours of Pac-Man. Those were the best memories of my life spending weekends with Nana playing games.
I was At a toys are us looking for military micro machines to do war gaming and I got a woman going apeshit of a grown man buying toys . I had my military cap on and I go all wide eyed with an exaggerated smile and say I have to have something to do because I’m locked a hundred feet underground for days at a time and they won’t let us push the big red button because ( air quotes) “ It will start a nuclear war “ She speed walked as far as she could away from me.
You handle people like that by simply saying "yeah but as their parent isn't it your job to work hard and save money so that you can provide your child with what they need instead of demanding that strangers on the street do it?"
Tell them that your insurance agency says that the liability is too high to let your property be used as a thoroughfare. I would get security cameras, strong locks on all gates, & maybe even rolled barbed wire across the top of your fence lol.
If there was an age limit for people to play video games, has anybody ever considered the age of those people who actually invent and create new games? By the way, i am 68 and still regularly "play games" on either my tablet or laptop, dependent on where i am. Its a bit like saying you are "Too old to wear denim", a product invented for miners, who were definitely, "Older People", also a timeless fabric, appreciated by 99% of the planets population. Great show as always.
4:10 I did the same with coupons, images in magazines and newspapers, etc. I wanted to get it as close to the edge and as fine a straight line as possible. It is actually quite hard and I felt a strange yet great pride when I almost got all 4 corners a solid 2-3 mm from the edge of a small cutout once. I suppose that could be the "hobby" described at the beginning of the second story... for those wondering... at least it was that way for me.
Last story: here’s how you stop this entitlement. Stop thinking karma is your grace!!! It’s your property….keep it in your possession. Nobody says you need to share. End of story
that last story is a legit fear of mine....i play my game system on the bus and im scared it'll happen to me hasn't happened yet, and ill stop riding the bus soon so....yay :D
I’m a little confused by the story where a customer asks that the female workers on their phones help the male workers. Did I miss something important? I worked in a lot of locations and found the front was often female, and the front was also given more break time, but it felt mean and unfair as someone stuck working non-stop and the front never helped us, but asked us for help frequently.
@@huntjl88 That sounds more like she was a repeat customer and continually Trying to help the guys, which I respect, but if she was unaware that the guys were also goofing off then she was just mistaken and her (possible) attempts to help came across as sexist as the behavior she may have been trying to fight.
@@FurryEskimo To me it sounds like a Karen that has some issues with other women. OP said she had caused trouble for every woman that worked there. But didn't sound like she did the same toward the men. I've seen women like that. They attack other women seemingly just for existing.
i usualy just read on the train, bus etc. if its a long trip i might bring out a game if i have one with me, or if a new version of a game i enjoy have just been released and im feeling like playing on the whatever public transport im using that day.
Why is it that people think that adults think other adults can't play video games? Ot drives me crazy to no end. I am an auld and I play games often. It's one of my hobbies.
Great stories. Also, I know I'll get roasted for this but I don't care. Internet clout means nothing to me. I think I recognize your voice. You are the narrator on WATOP aren't you? Love both channels and look forward to them everyday. Proud subscriber to each. Keep up the great work. PS: If I'm wrong, ignore this. Still love the channel though.
You're at work. You DON'T NEED A PHONE TO WORK. I watched many employees try to use their phone at work and not work and get FIRED for NOT WORKING. Exactly what they PAY you to do. Not be on the phone. Good luck being a statistic
When I was a cashier I needed my phone. Google translate. Emergency calculations. Things like that. Plenty of other jobs also require the use of a phone, like when important people in the company need to get ahold of you quickly. Stop being nuts.
@@jsivco3sivco785 We used to know how do shit, that's how. Arithmetic? Pen and paper, or a calculator. 'important' people used to get off their arses, or maybe just use the landline, PA system, or send a runner. Pretty sure that 'reading a book' was quite easy without a smartphone too. If this was my store I'd definitely be looking at cutting staffing hours. If the store is *that* quiet, you don't want to be paying 3 cashiers a wage for checking reddit, playing Pokémon Go, or snapchatting their significant others.
@@jsivco3sivco785 Its called an education. Unless what you're selling is worth millions of dollars with every number not being a zero, you don't need a calculator or phone. People who rely on their phones to do simple tasks should have simple jobs. Like delivering flyers or selling lemonade. Before smartphones we used intelligence and work ethic. Something you apparently know very little about
It’s amazing the mental gymnastics entitled people use to take advantage of others A women yelled at me for getting on the bus first. Not only was I the first person on the bus stop. I have a bad leg which the bus driver is aware of. I’ve seen use gender as a jackhammer to get what they want. And it never makes since on the situation it’s used.

All I will say is God of War 1, infinite orbs trick.... very kid-friendly

"Tell you what. If you'll make a man out of me, I'll give you my console. Drop trou and bend over the seats."
You handle people like that by simply saying "yeah but as their parent isn't it your job to work hard and save money so that you can provide your child with what they need instead of demanding that strangers on the street do it?"
Karen = "You're too old to be playing video games."
Me = "And you're too old to be wearing that outfit, but who cares. So shut up!"
Last Story - You should have told her how great a parent she is, teaching her child to be a thief.
At least the kid knows the difference between right and wrong and gave the console back. Hope he doesn't adopt his mother's thieving ways.
Honestly, besides just outright throwing out an unreasonable customer, humiliating them into not returning is the best. 😂

i’d be vindictive and use Razor Wire
If entitled parents think their kids are so deserving of something, go buy the darn thing yourself!
I'm 65 and I play Video Games! I play Retro Systems rather than new, but I still play.

I still don't get it when entitled idiot's think they keep stuff that DOESN'T belong to them.
Sorry but after hearing monorail all I could hear going through my head was the Monorail Song
I am 71 and I play video games! Never had them before 2010, but have them now thanks to family gifts... I have a lot to catch up on! 😁😆❤💋😎😁
Last story: The entitled mother was the thief for taking OP's console. I sure hope her son doesn't grow up adopting his mom's bad habits.
Last story: here’s how you stop this entitlement. Stop thinking karma is your grace!!!
It’s your property….keep it in your possession. Nobody says you need to share.

That store lady we get a lot where I work all self riotous and doesn't care about other only what she wants
On the story about the karen in the story, lolllllllll congratulations to you op and the rest of the store staff, lolllllll.

Yes the male worker was also goofing off. Just not on his phone. Plus the Karen went after each woman there at one point or another.

I think that in the last story th op should have gone that will be $400,000 that might have made that woman give the game back quickly
How does the saying go? I used to be a people person... Then people ruined it for me.
Hello RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe.🏴😷😁👍. Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead everyone
Thanks Redwheel. Have a good morning
Last one: you don’t just claim a device that’s not yours just because you THINK someone is too old. I still play video games
Hey friend, great vides again! I hope you, and RW and everyone else has a good day!

He is the narrator of both RedWheel, WATOP, ViralBe, Inforado and a car channel.
He is a very busy man.
Good voice actors are actually hard to find. It's great he's so active.
"You're too old to be playing games!"
And you're too old to be so rude.
Woman upset about the female employees is a walking definition of enternalized misogyny. Facepalm
@@luciferpetrenkoff5040 yep yep yep
So the grocery store employees named the Karen "ketamine"
Good morning all
MY SON NOW IS THE OWNER OF YOUR PROPERTY! ????
Hello friends
How do you know if its a made up story? They put in the line about their kid deserving something.
How do you know someone is a dong? They make posts like yours. Lighten up, Francis.
