Ooo, does this mean I'm finally building a reputation around here? Sweet!RangerSERE said:Oh the big dick around here has spoken up.

It's about time someone did this study, I'm sick of games being blamed for all the worlds woes.
Everyone knows exercise is good, but going around a gaming fan site posting things like "you shouldn't be playing games, you should be exercising" or the sort is incredibly judgmental. In my opinion it's akin to posting "go back to your mom's basement" in a thread. It's just rude, it's trying to act as though you are superior, and the people around you need to change, even though you know nothing about them.
That, or, I totally misunderstood the entire intent of your post, and all you meant to say was that gaming isn't the best way to release stress, and I'm overreacting like a PMSing asshole, in which case, my bad.
