The Duke would be playing, Super Marion.
What’s funny is if you go to any deployed military base in their rec rooms there will be at least a few video game systems and chances are they’ll be full.
Dude!?! WTF? Is this a whoosh?
That rates a big 
I’m 61. I’m right in the middle of Red Dead Redemption on my PS3. The last two games I finished were Dead Space and Heavy Rain. My wife played alongside on Heavy Rain and she’s 67!
I could be unusual I suppose, since I design microprocessors for a living. Yes, someone’s got to show these young punks how to do it! 
Yeah, my female Translation classmates would get angry at the suggestion that they played videogames, then they’d launch into a conversation about how they were doing in Farmville. I tried to explain it once, but figured if I wanted to leave that school alive, I better stop before all those nice 25ish girls turned into something to give nightmares to Hades. I know that at least one of the guys (late 20s) was familiar with WoW - but when a teacher asked who played videogames, I was the only one who raised her hand. In that particular group, “playing videogames” was perceived as socially unacceptable. Playing Farmville evidently carried no such stigma.
I was sort of thinking that myself. Unless the videogames are like barbie Dress-up and My Little Pony Online…
I’m an adult male, but I don’t want to be taken seriously - can I still play Borderlands when I get home from work?
That is, assuming that my girlfriend isn’t playing Red Dead Redemption.
If the Council of Manliness won’t allow it, I guess I’ll just have to wait for my roleplaying group to start up again after Easter - that’s manly, right? A bunch of guys (and two girls, so it’s not gay, obviously) sitting around, eating cakes, pretending to be elves and halflings?
nm… made a point that’s already been made…
Well, with regards to the OP: coming from a guy (that is, me) who is in his 40’s and uses “gig” in normal conversation - as in “I have a gig tonight, so I need to change the stings on my Tele sometime today.” - chalk me up as another who will hopelessly fail if there is a specific checklist.
However, I will link to a previous thread about Manlinessand knowing your Man-types and how they relate to one another…
Make lists about what men can and cannot do.
Maybe the OP’s first language is Kanien’keha, hence the colon?
Or Mad Men.
Really, what a silly list! Obviously composed by somebody with a fear of not being considered an “adult man.” Reminds me of the lists I used to read in Cosmo–back when I was much younger…
I recently postulated elsewhere that this is the reason heavy metal and progressive rock audiences are predominantly male. Playing lightning-fast solos or extraordinarily complex music is a physical challenge with an aspect of competition. You rarely see women making lists of the best guitarists/drummers.
As to lists like the OP’s, and along the lines of the “no-no” comment, I’ll quote my dad:
“Grown men don’t ‘go potty’.”
I have to pee sitting down. My doctor warned me about lifting heavy objects.
Charo must have an enormous dick then!
Allow me to rephrase:
You rarely see women compiling lists of the best guitarists/drummers. 
It depends how semantic you want to get, and I’d prefer not to get very semantic. My mom got a Wii for her birthday and at her birthday party and my 80 year old grandmother and I both tried it. So we both played video games, but I don’t think you could say we play video games.
I’m definitely not a golfer, but I own clubs and play a few times a year. So I’d say I golf. If I golfed with rented clubs once every couple years, I think it would be a stretch to say I golf.
Remember, when I say we don’t play video games, there’s no stigma attached. We’re not like the OP looking down on others as unmanly if they do. We just dont play them regularly. None of my friends own video game systems though and I dont think they play at other friends houses regularly. I certainly don’t.
I can honestly say it’s probably been more than a dozen years prior to that Wii that I touched any other video game system. I know I played some play station game after that came out but the last time I played regularly Super Nintendo was the newest thing. It’s not like they have cooties, but none of my friends own any video games so I don’t have even incidental opportunities to play.
Just the type that don’t play video games.
I’m a really bad example. I own a technology startup and work a lot, so limited free time to begin with. I also own a few rental properties that take up a lot of weekend time, and a family farm that takes up as much time as I want. Both of those I actually enjoy. The latter is a lot like farmville except with fresh air and dirt.
My father is in very poor health and I need to manage all his affairs for him, including some large outstanding debts and a number of legal issues.
I figured out once that between corporate counsel, our IP lawyers, my personal lawyer, my securities lawyer, the lawyer in another part of the state who does real estate work for me there and my dad’s lawyer there were 7 lawyers representing me, my company, or my dad at my behest. So I think that there’s like a magic number and if you have more than X lawyers representing you, you don’t have time to play video games.
On the other hand, thinking of my two best friends, one is an avid tennis player and also does some sort of dance thing with all his free time, and the other is really into yoga and other fitness activities. So they have actually fun lives and simply choose not to fill them with video games.
