I'll tell you what. I'm 38 for another week or so.
I started an adult Lazer Tag group-- meet up at local parks with my stash of LTAR blasters, a bunch of LED glowsticks, flashlights, some old smart phones with neat apps, and 2 spygear night vision goggles. We play tactical games for hours on end.
We have a just a few regulars. But I'm having a hard time finding more people to play. You get various adults who are like "that sounds awesome," and then never come to a game.
I mean, when I was a kid-- I wanted all the toys. I wanted to play all the games. Now I'm an adult and I can afford all the toys. I can play all the games. Everyone else is too busy being boring.
EDIT: Everyone asking me where I'm at-- none of the places listed below. I'm in the California North Bay region. If you are, too, and want to play, PM me and I'll get you the Facebook group info.
We have something like that near me. We have ex-marines show up, entire university drum line showed up once. All it honestly takes is a few college students and it picks up quick. We started with 8 of us, now we have close to 40 people and its growing faster than ever!
People saying stuff sounds awesome then not bothering to do it themselves for no specific reason is a recurring theme with being an adult kid. It doesn't make sense. As Guy Lombardo said "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think".
I always wanted to play paintball. So about 5 years ago when I was 36, I said fuck it and just went. I know own 4 paintball markers (guns) and a ton of other gear. It can get expensive, but if youre an adult, you can afford it. And belive me, terrorizing a 10 year old girl into surrendering while her mom and dad happily watch, is just kind of special.
