A story on New Scientist claims that gamers are actually more physically fit than normal americans.

The results suggest that adult gamers have an average body mass index of 25.2, compared to the overall American average of 28. The average gamer also engages in vigorous exercise once or twice a week, which the researchers say is more than most Americans. The reasons for this are not obvious, although the team suggest it may be because more educated, wealthier people are attracted to computer games, and these people also tend to take better care of their health.

It doesn’t matter that the vigorous excercise twice a week is vigorous masterbation. Well, probably. Apparently this then leads to depression and substance abuse. But then again, who cares what Researchers at the University of Southern California think? Fuck them. Gamers rule!
