Four Player Co-op 07.20.11: PopCap, South Park, Duke Nukem Forever, MorePosted by Stephen Randle on 07.20.2011
Will Mario be part of the first first-party title for the Wii-U? Why did Duke Nukem place so high on the June NPD's? Are there any decent South Park games? And are gamers over the age of thirty "weird"? The 411 staff debates these topics and more in the latest 4PC!
QUESTION ONE: I'm not saying The Today Show is where you go for hard news and facts, but what the hell, they were the ones who opened their mouths, so here we go. During a Q&A segment last week, their response to the idea that men over thirty played video games was, and I quote, "that's weird". This despite a study showing that the average age for gamers is…drumroll…37. Maybe it's just bugging me because I'm 30 (shut up), but whatever the case, anyone feel like offering some mockery here?
31 here. I have been playing games since the days of the Odyssey II. I work a steady job, make a loan payment, and am a slave to the grind like everyone else. Video games are a way to relax, and unwind after a rough day at the office. If I choose to unwind with a book, I can do that to. Maybe I feel like watching a movie, is that weird too? Since I am 31 should I still be out clubbing and trying to pick up college co-eds? Would that be more normal behavior ? I don't see anything wrong with playing video games at any age. If I can get my 75 year old grandma to play some Mario, you could bet your ass I would do so in a second. My grandfather, who is pushing 80 is addicted to Farmville. He's raised a family of 7, took care of a diabetic wife for years, and was even mayor of his small town for a time. If the man wants to relax playing a little Farmville, who the fuck is Donny Deutsch-bag to say that is weird?
I refuse to acknowledge anything from that show, because it clearly appeals to the "dimwit female" demographic. Why can't you be mature and a gamer? My dad got into gaming late in his life (after he got me my first console) and even at 58, he still enjoys Zelda, Tomb Raider and other games. My mom doesn't complain. I have a girlfriend. I am 26, she is 23. We game together. Never heard a word of "you are immature" from her. My older cousins are all over 30 and they all game. Most of their wives game with them and those that don't, they don't complain.

I have played a ton of Popcap Games, from Bejeweled, Plants vs Zombies, Peggle and Bookworm and I love all of them. I imagine having access to a larger budget and a bigger publishing partner will lead to more games and higher quality assets,
It's simple: Jokes aside, let's hope EA leaves PopCap alone so it can continue to make more brilliant games like Peggle, Plants Vs Zombies and Bookworm Adventures. Leaving PopCap alone will certainly be the best way EA can recoup its $1.3 billion

Lee child and 61 Hours « The Bookworm
Lee Child has been honoured for 61 Hours.
The British writer has won the 2011 Theakstons Old Peculier crime novel of the year award with his 14th novel in the Jack Reacher series. Reacher is about American as they come and I’ve had the pleasure of reading all 14 novels.
It’s hard to rate the novels. 61 Hours was certainly one of the better ones. But I don’t think there was a bad novel in the bunch. If I had to pick the weakest, I’d say it was the first novel — Killing Floor.
Child also has a new Reacher adventure coming out in September called The Affair. It actually takes place six months before the events of the Killing Floor. This isn’t the first time Child has put Reacher in a prequel, so to speak.
What’s interesting is that 61 Hours definitely left off in such a way that there is a Part II to the novel. But it doesn’t look like the details are going to be revealed in The Affair.
In other Jack Reacher news, it’s reporter on Lee Child’s website that Tom Cruise is going to play Reacher in One Shot.
How much does Don Ermen love books?
Well, he still has all his copies of Dr. Seuss and the Hardy Boys mysteries.
But nowadays he reads books that are a little more challenging. They might be on the best seller's list, or found in the bargain bin at his local book store. Or it could be the effort of a local author that has come across his desk at the Ottawa Sun, where Don works as the assistant managing editor.
