Because some people like to see what's going on in the gaming world, it's quite a popular channel too.

Yeah, I have quite a few mates who watch it, to which I simply ask them....
"Aren't you a bit old to be playing with toys?"

And the answer would definitely be not too old, if we're talking about computer/console games.

Video game consoles aren't toys! Besides, it's adults of a certain age with a disposable income who are the majority of consumers. Also, you don't stop what you enjoy just because you hit a certain age - I've been playing computer games since the early 80s - I'm not going to stop cause I've got kids and in my 40s! So there!
Maybe someday I'll be playing video games with my grandkids!

Quite right, you don't necessarily stop thinking young as you get older. I watch Lady Gaga with my grandkids! They think it's all about the music!

Re: channel 286
I've been enjoying computer games since I started with an Amiga in the 80's. I'm 68 now and still playing PC games, it keeps the mind active and you're never too old to enjoy yourself.

Re: channel 286
Must admit I stopped playing them seriously years ago. The last console I bought was a GameCube. I am currently housing my brothers wii and still enjoy a good whirl on Mario Kart now and again though. Am always on the lookout for the wii version of Golden Eye first released on the N64. I love that game, it simply rocks!!!
