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


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

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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)

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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.

This subject is so played out... :(

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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.

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

LIKE US GAMERS!!!

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

:lol:




about the same here :p

except im not in the army yet...will be next year

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

*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.

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

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

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard

*switches off tic tac toe on msn * lmao

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

Fat :wtf:

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

:D Yeah, I think she must be referring to that new kind of fat. The kind that doesn't look fat.

Magic fat.. Yeah, I think that's what they call it.

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

lol ...happydance...shush!! :p
Muah*

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

so thats what that is!!! i was always trying to figure out what she was refering to all this time....and now i know, thank you mariolover!

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

Always here to help :D

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

So, now that we have a happydude and a happygirl, what purpose does happy dance serve? Is he even related?

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

Too...much....happiness....:errr:

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

yep me exactly (except maybe the killing part).

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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.

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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 ;)

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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?

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

they would quote this ;)

Re: Video games turn you into a fat, violent bastard
 

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

Stupid media... :mad:
