If you think running 5 mile runs in combat boots and utility Marine uniforms 3 times a week makes me a lazy slob, think again. I do love my Sins of a Solar Empire nightly though, not to mention Soul Caliber 4. I work hard and play hard.

I would say cars are more of a reason for obesity than video games but that is just my opinion. I love my Honda Accord though!
Holy crap someone who can read and comprehend........ Lawl, you guys are cracking me up posting pictures of yourself..........I wasn't attacking gamers, just the dumb surveys.....Stereotyping really bothers you guys huh?....but please go on, who else is a buff gamer.......

And people are more prone to lieing in surveys online.

This proves to me jack. It was an online survey - I might as well say I'm 100 but look like I'm 12 years old and weigh 100 lbs.

The main reason of obesity in this country are not video games,cars,and i donīt think tv is one too,depending on how you use it.
The main reason is the attraction that you get while walking down the street,all you see are mcīdonalds signs,things about donuts and how good they are,etc.
People just donīt realize the number of calories of that things,not only they have a lot of fat but they also have a lot of cholesterol and are extremely unhealthy.Our eating way is the problem not computers or anything else.
TV is one sometimes,showing food advertisements all the time about how good they are and how hot chicks are gonna get to you,and we all know itīs a complete bs.
Iīm not saying you canīt eat what ever you want, like donuts or ice cream,but do it once a while not all the time and everyday like many people do.

So we should think about it before blaming other things.

This was a good review,but obviously many of them lied,computer makes you fat,iīm not fat because i know how to take care of it,and how to keep balance in my life.Anyway i love games so much that i canīt leave them lol.

Makes your Gunny a bit of a prick though.

And at least you don't have to starch and iron them anymore, let alone re-polish your boots.

Their entire research is null and void because it wasn't done in person. Any person could've just put in anything they wanted to on that stupid survey.

Its like the majority of people on the internet claiming to be girls are actually male, and majority of the little kids on the internet are really just FBI agents.

Who are these "scientists" really kidding? cmon...... Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out 3/4 of them lied. I'm not saying people who play MMOs are not fit, but you can't expect this to be true.

Exactly, especially with the numbers they come up with. I mean get real. I know 5-6 people who still play Everquest while they aren't exactly fat slobs they sure as hell don't exercise everyday. Where are they in that survey? They said 60% of America don't exercise more than 10 minutes a day, but when your a hardcore Everquest player you don't fit in that category because you took a survey....
