You're a gamer yourself, right?

My parents and a few friends who never play games automatically associate video games with fat people. I showed my friend my computer and his first reaction was "I never saw that coming from you"

Weird, I love TV, well, not everything that's on now, but I do enjoy certain shows. I love movies also. That doesn't stop me from gaming, piecing together my computer, working out 3 days a week, playing racquetball or other exercise 4 days a week. At the same time, I don't typically watch shows when they air, I'll just download them.

I ave 4.4Ghz and SLI

Im not a lazy SOB

Not everyone who rocks at video gaming, has a very good computer at worst, and spends time on a computer, is a fat, lazy, mindless idiot. I for one love gaming and everything about it, but I know when going from a gamer to obsessed with CS:S or similar is breaking boundaries. These boundaries broken is what gives gamers a bad image....
Lmao, I can't believe you took offense to what I said enough to post pics of your cutness. I'm a average gamer also and run 2 miles a day. I'm just saying those surveys are bogus.

Quoted for absolute truth. I have a HUGE problem with television. I'm only 18 and I've already come to the realization that television with it's endless and mindless battles for control of your mind (advertisements) are so detrimental to ones thought processes.
Corporate television and big companies know exactly how to sway you. And with your mind being vegitated through television, it's quite easy.

Can you really blame me for taking offense to a stereotype such as the garbage you posted?

Sheesh your e-skin is thin. I was just saying shes the type of person that would take that survey and say she exercises. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone just that those surveys are a load of crap. Unless they go to every person individually and see their habits other than playing everquest I wouldn't believe it. Calm down and go stare at a mirror.
