I'm 15, average, and playing video games is one of the things that makes me happy.

Well, last time I checked, I'm at 200 pounds, all muscle, over 6 feet tall, married to a god damned bombshell [who is also a gamer], have an active social life, and am happy as a clam. So that study can shove it.

That's like saying if you don't go to a Gym you are out of shape. Stupid article is stupid.

Thank god for the shake weight, without it, I might be all flab, and no ab. Us gamers are lucky they came up with such an easy way to work off those 200 pounds we gain from sitting infront of a screen huh? They are so thoughtful.

The irony is that if a gamer that is depressed sees that article, they will become even more depressed.

Really hits the nail on the head doesn't it. Mike Smith is an absolute genius, now I know why I am depressed, overweight and 35 years old, because of the hobby I enjoy.

Wait

If you kill small children it must be because you play games right?

Apparently nothing good can come from having fun.

Every bad thing in society comes from playing video games. Just ask the media. Because, you know, there wasnt any violence or bad things in the world before video games came along and corrupted us all.

They must have worked really hard to find those people, because out of all of my friend that are avid gamers, not one is even close to that description.
