I stay active while not playing games, if you don`t you deserve all the wierd looks and lack of sex that you get.

Derekvinyard135482d ago

so fat people look wierd and dont get any sex? lol

zeeshan8105482d ago

Users who disagree with you are fat. I workout everyday and I play video games.

Jack-H5482d ago

Exactly, same here. Just not everyday.

BubbleSniper5482d ago

the only way you can get fat is if your water intake is low, you eat nothing but excessively fatty foods and don't even walk.

i can say this applies to everyone at a certain degree as our bodies work the same but react differently.

jeseth5482d ago

You get fat when you take in more calories than you burn.

Period.

Yes, gaming can be a major factor in weight gain.

thrasherv35482d ago

Jesus, another one of these? Playing video games does not make you fat. It's the lack of exercise that makes you fat. Don't blame the games people. Blame the parents who don't give a fuck.

xTruthx5482d ago

You think only 12 year olds play video games lol ? Many people over 20 stay playing vid games 24/7 everyday of the year, that's really not healthy xD

Pintheshadows5482d ago

It is healthier than eating cake 24/7.

Soldierone5482d ago

And at that age its THEIR CHOICE to do so. If they are too stupid to get up and move around why should we care...

thrasherv35482d ago

@xTruthx: And why do you think they "stay" playing games 24/7? Old habits die hard.

"Why Eating Video Games Might Make You Fat"

Fixed.

1 carb per pixel, avg game = 1280×720p (for a total of 0.92 megapixel-carbs or 921600 pixel-carbs)
Bluray = Uber cholesterol!
Game Manuals are fat free.

Pintheshadows5482d ago (Edited 5482d ago )

What about game cases? Or the whole console?

Also how frelling old is that picture? Are they implying those kids are now fat?

@sidar, cardboard tastes better than Weetabix.

ChickeyCantor5482d ago

Do you eat the cereal box?
Wth is wrong with you.

GodofSackboy5482d ago

Not those mini-chocolate Weetabix things, I devour them twice a day at least!

Wolfmoonstrike5482d ago

Talk about an expensive meal. Jeez, and I thought steak priced were getting bad.

Tigerfist5482d ago (Edited 5482d ago )

How about "Why going to work and sitting at the desk all day makes you fat." article? It's blatantly obvious...

SSKILLZ5482d ago

Mmmmmmm I'm eating some steak while reading this post

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio32d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing32d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit32d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing32d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9232d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
