Why are people over the age of 40 so bad at video games?

There's also a lot of shit many older people are thinking about outside of EQ. In my 20's it was DOOM II, Duke Nuke 'Em, Mechwarrior and the like. Pretty easy to tune everything out except the game. Today even when I'm not really thinking about things beyond EQ I'm still thinking about things outside EQ.
