"They are in poor physical shape, they eat unhealthily, grow fat and suffer insomnia."
Sounds great, looks like I'm on the right track.

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.

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