This Just In - Gamers Are Human

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday January 11, 2005 @09:59AM from the we've-been-trying-to-tell-you-this dept.

A new study by the Entertainment Software Association reveals that, amazingly, gamers are regular human beings. The study shows that avid game players are just as religious, artistic, and social as anyone else. From the article: "Gamers are everywhere and they're everyone. They are your friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, and kids, they lead responsible and caring lives, balancing their enjoyment of interactive entertainment with many other activities important to a well-rounded lifestyle...Indeed, those who continue to portray the game population as single-minded loafers are living in their own fantasy world."

Is today a slow news day or what? We've got this non-story. Then we have the one about "Your Call May Be Recorded" and the useless "Bestest DVDs of All Time!!!!1111!!!!! LOL!!!" non-story from yesterday. Is it really THAT dead in the land of technology? Aren't there any more important news items worth posting regarding new *nix applications ro something? Geez!!! This place really grates on my nerves sometimes.
