  • A message to Hardcore Gamers



    You know i am sick of stereotypes, my last essay was a dissertation consisting of 4000 words about Video Game Journalism and Gaming Culture as well as it included a large part of gamers history + culture.

    And in this essay i had to prove against stereotypes, the likes of Jack Thompson, Fox News perhaps? (Mass Effect Incident). Neways, i myself am a avid PC gamer, and raging hardcore gamer/tech enthusiast.

    This article i read is somewhat true, so take a read if you fancy and share your thoughts .

    I'm lazy I play 40 hours a week, but I'm not overweight and I do exercise. There are other addictions that are more harmful then gaming, how about people start concentrating on those addictions rather then gaming...

      ^ thats exactly my point Evant, i just dont like stereotypical people judging gamers like this.

      I go to the gym 3x a week. I play TF2 mostly as an online MP for about 2hrs then surf forums and game news, the i leave the PC. i hated when it said the "Majority of gamers" its not the majority imho its SOME gamers that are lazy, adding to that there are other people that are lazy and its NOT the cause of gaming.

          I can say i sit in front of my computer pretty much all day i can say that.Am i a fat **** lazy bastard not at all I just enjoy games very much. I just love to how they make such a big deal about being addicted to WoW cant a guy play a game HE LIKES or ENJOYS without being addicted to it? Lets say you put in the same amount of hours a WoW player did in a week instead though you played CoD or TF2 does that make you addicted to that?

          the next level of WoW can wait. And if it can’t, get a life.
          WoW is life!!! Gaming is part of this life he keeps saying.

            What is the stone conversion to pounds? 20 isn't really a very big number, but I guess 20 stones are?
