I got a PS4 "for the kids" when it came out, but it largely went unused.
Until the release of….
Haven't gotten into a game so much in many years. My oldest son beats me roughly 67% of the time, but the games are stupidly furious and fun. It's also great and easy to play online matches.

My PS2 went largely unused and eventually just turned into a DVD player. When I got my Xbox 360 I played way more games. I want to get it to play games on, both of my Xbox 360's died awhile ago and I just never got around to getting a new console.

Y the Last Man TV series coming soon…
I have only read the first TPB so far, but I do have them all (my fiancée loves the series and has read them all this year after I got them).

Even as someone who is on reddit daily, I'm proud to say I have only a tangential idea what Fallout 4 even is!

It's Wolfenstein 3D in a dystopian wasteland, I surmise.

I have this conversation with my wife and others, who think video games are juvenile yet have no problem passively watching television for hours. For me, games are a way of engaging my brain in a creative fashion. I like games that are strategic, require planning and problem-solving, and have elements of exploration. I think many games require more mental activity than simply looking at a screen and engaging in one-way communications.

Who proclaimed something as non-intellectual as attending a rock concert to be acceptable behavior by anybody over the age of 25?

Rock concerts are not, and never have been, intended as entertainment for children. Adults playing video games is closer to playing hopscotch at 35 than to attending a concert.

What about adults watching hour upon hour upon hour of television shows about teenagers?

IMO, rock concerts have the same target audience as video games, the 13-25 demographic.
