You're all a bunch of old fat losers...

[MC Fatigue]

According to this study:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32463904/ns/technology_and_science-games/wid/11915829&GT1=40006

A new study says the average age of video-game players in the United States is 35, and oh, by the way: They're overweight and tend to be depressed...

Meh, I don't understand "studies." If I wasn't a part of this survey, I'm not included in the study.

Hey! I'm not depressed!

Re: You're all a bunch of old fat losers...

I'm far from 35, and far from depressed, this study means nothing to me.

This study does nothing but reinforce negative stereotypes.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play some Madden 10 and cry over how I can't get a girlfriend due to my severe obesity...

This is either MSNBC taking a study way out of context or possibly one of the least scientific studies ever done.

This is kin to the study a year or two back that used urban free clinic data to extrapolate that like 30% of the country had STDs.

For this to be true, the number of gamers ranging from ages 10-20 would be roughly equal to those ranging from 50-60.

My guess is MSNBC ****ed up

Or there could just be a lot of 30-40 year old gamers

I agree, though.

Impossible. After all, they hired Keith Olbermann, didn't they?

This doesn't seem right.

That would imply that there are 8 folk age 35-40 for every 10-20 year old.

The data was skewed because they only chose 18+.

However, I'm assuming that the scientists said that this was the average age of adult gamers (still wrong though).

I wonder how many of them still lived in their parents basement.

I'm 26 and work out six times a week. My gf is 20 and looki h pretty darn good herself. We both own ps3s.

Studies like this are almost always bogus.

Studies do show, however, that I can't type for **** on this blackberry lol.

Well i'm not 35 (turning 30 though) and i'm a skinny guy soooo I guess i'm not a typical video gamer.

She's 20...that explains a lot! Enjoy it while you can.
