"They are in poor physical shape, they eat unhealthily, grow fat and suffer insomnia."


Sounds great, looks like I'm on the right track.

[Jonbo298]

I'm way ahead of ya on the physical end:D:p

[TheGame]

lol... well, I guess you could say that about me too... cept all the violence ;)

I've fallen FAR out of shape... one injury no recovery (and I'm not doing much to help.. all lift no run :D)

[GameMaster]

It's an outlet for frustration due to the overworked lives we live.

[Dylflon]

That article makes me angry.

It's not fair to blame violence on video games. What video games did Hitler play? What video games did people play in medieval times?

Violence is actually a natural thing. Some people are born violent. My theory is it's actually a brain problem that makes people violent. But it's not fair to generalize.

Saying that all gamers are fat and violent is like saying all black people are criminals or all people from Alambama are wife beaters.

[Dyne]

This subject is so played out... :(

[thatmariolover]

Yeah. Everything needs a scapegoat. If these guys sleep better at night because they can blame video games for their fat, violent kids, then let them.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

[The Germanator]

What **** is this bull****?!! I'll ****ing kill all the bitches who wrote this ****ing piece of ****!

*stuff candy bars and twinkies in his mouth*

[Acebot44]

I am most definitely a Violent Bastard but am in NO WAY Fat! Just want to get that straight. :)

But all those are true :sneaky:


=-P j/k

[Dark Samurai]

Man, some people should just be quiet and keep to themselves.

LIKE US GAMERS!!!

[gekko]

I'm not fat, certainly not in poor physical shape, and a violent bastard? I kill people for a living, leave me alone.

[Hero2]

*starts to play a video game becomes violent and fat then after reaching 600 pounds goes on a killing spree thankfully doesnt get far because vidoe games made me fat and lazy dies after rolling over a bus full of crazed moms shouting down with video games.*
ahhh the irony

video games arnt that bad if anything I would want a fatkid chasing me tring to kill me then a serial murder. the fat kid would just give up and play vidoe games. soo there an upside to it.

[Dyne]

I still don't recognize how anyone can BECOME a bastard.. aren't you like.. born with it?

[Happy Dance]

No ... you can simpley become a bustard when u do "Bastard like" stuff :)

[Hero2]

Or if you "bastardize" other things it raises your batard lvl.

you can be a lvl 5 bastard with dual wield abilites.

yep me exactly (except maybe the killing part).

[mickydaniels]

I don't know about being fat and a bastard, but I do kinda feel like killing someone/thing when I play one of those games that has something ridiculously hard in it.

lol... I feel you on that one. Last night I was playing THPS4 online... well, I had a bad luck streak of dropping big trick after big trick... and um, I haven't got that angry in a long time. I had to shut off the TV and meditate. Then I played some GTA3, and this one mission got me even more pissed off.

I felt like breaking my controller... so yep, games cause me to get violent at times ;)

[Blackmane]

I think that is ridiculous. I am not violent, and I have gotten fatter ever since I started playing video games less.

What do they say to that?

[TheGame]

...I have gotten fatter ever since I started playing video games...

they would quote this ;)

[Blackmane]

they would quote this ;)

That is so true. I have to choose my words more carefully.

Stupid media... :mad:
