From SK-Gaming:
"According to a new study typical gamers are more likely to be (via Kotaku) virulent "drunk self-haters". This means gamers will drink alcohol or use drugs more often than others. The same study also unveils that gaming weakens relationships and that gamers are suffering from self-esteem problems."

rofl, wasn't there some other study that said gamers are more likely to be in better health than that of the average american?
"The most striking part is that everything we found clustered around video game use is negative," said Prof Laura Walker, from Brigham Young University, in Utah, who led the study." - lol
What is this 'getting a high score' business. Most people are playing vs others online, there is no 'high score'. Obviously a noob
"Research into the habits of more than 800 university students found that most of the men asked, 55 per cent, were regular players, using their games console at least every other day.
By contrast, only around 7 per cent of women admitted that they played computer games that often. "
Wasn't there also other studies that said there were more female gamers than men? (obviously not in Utah)
PS- Title of the articles says 'computer games' while the content talks about consoles. Big difference too imo

Time to drop games as a life hobby and pick up Utah women to start my collection of prized wives.

I'm guessing the Professor who conducted this research is also into female rights activism.

for me it seems like those who DONT play games AT ALL, are more likely to be drunk all the time.

Games are actually my anti drug, if there were no games I would have to fill that time up with something else. Not only that but I would probably commit more crimes without games.
And the hugest factor IMO is that YOU CAN NOT PLAY YOUR TOP GAME under the influence of something.

That could easily be right as well. Regardless, she should probably stop doing what she does.

Another one of those many 'watching violent TV/gaming and violence/whatever' studies - can never prove which causes the other. What a waste of research.

Luckily I don't drink, so I'll never resort to that. Starcraft is a much better stress reliever.

What is interesting is that the university is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that demand their students to follow a honor code system, which will later mandate behavior with Mormon teachings. On the other hand the system used by the students refuses them to use drugs, alcohol, tea, coffee or extra-marital sex.
I think there's the reason for their being self hating drunks.

I think most people will get pissed at this because at least part of them feels guilty of having at least a shred of one of those characteristics. Overall, I disagree, but my disagreement is subject to my own life which is most likely way different from everybody else's. Case by case basis plz!

lol look at this stupid pic the UK articles uses
Does that look like a negative atmosphere? Would they prefer people going to a pub and driving home drunk or whatever?
|
The sample group is laughable. This "study" can't be taken seriously.
|
gamecube + n64... fail :D

When will idiots like this realize that video games are just like watching movies or television, except with video games you're involved with the entertainment. You're not just sitting back braindead watching some stupid tv show.
