This is nice it hear.
For those of you who are under the impression that people who play games are "nerdy" or fat, read this. In a lot of flash cartoons, they often stereotype video game players.

The stereotype comes from the fact that gamers are less likely to get proper exercise. I've actually seen few nerdy kids that are overweight, though certainly not as high as one would like to believe.

See, gamers spend all their time inside, so they're pretty healthy. It's the people going out all day and eating at McDonald's that are fat. :P
Good point!

To be honest if you play games all night, when do you have time to eat and get fat. Porkers have comfort eating. Us gamers have comfort fragging.

I play games daily hours at a time, gf permitting heh, I also swim at least 3 times a week.

My right arm is healthier than my left arm, but that isn't because of gaming.
