So you think you maybe getting a little too old to be owning that ten year old in Halo 3–don’t stop now. Allstate is considering offering clients who are 50 years old and older a discount on car insurance, if they play video games.
The company is running a trial program called Insight which offers specialized games to 100,000 customers in Pennsylvania aged 50 to 75. The games are designed to reverse age related congnitive decline and improve visual alertness. Allstate is recommending the old timers complete at least 10 hours of training.
I am a little older, but not at that age yet. Now when my wife asks why I am playing video games for so long I am just going to point out that I am trying to save us money in the future on our car insurance.
Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network.
