I honestly feel this way when i play any games. Even real sports, its an escape for a short time. I never thought of that line of thinking as a chick thing. | ||

I'm glad people on this forum finally agree with me on this (not that I was the first to come up with it). I've been told so many times by people here that it's a good measure.

On the other hand I do like to grab a bit of chocolate after failing on the internet or failing in general but that probably has something to do with my long lasting chocolate addiction. | ||

They always try to make stupid studies that'll try to convince people that games are bad, which applies differently to every person. Still gave a good laugh I might say  | ||

I'm a fan of the later hypothesis... people that suck at the real world love fake ones where people can't judge their appearance. Of course, sitting around all day doesn't help that appearance but hey. | ||

Similar studies show that the average North American is overweight and depressed, and I'm guessing their mean age is around 40 as well. In this respect, gamers mirror the general population. Boo hoo. | ||

The subjects ranged in age from 19 to 90, according to the study, published in the October issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine." I wondered why the average age was as high as 35.... Maybe they shouldn't make conclusions when they left out the huge section of gamers who are 18 and under. I mean I bet it is more likely that those who still play games when they are older may be more likely to be depressed if they play games instead of having friends/family/a job but this study is just makes ALL gamers look bad. | ||

essentially, the researchers are obviously quoted as trying to point out the study is only correlational while the press is trying to turn it into a causal high-profile sort of thing. typical of the media. | ||

It's a bad indicator of health... so how is it perfect for any use? edit: caller: did they have a control of nongamers to compare? If so then they aren't retarded! It's a pretty fucking great indicator of health for a population. | ||
