There is more to life...

According to this article gamers don't fit the gamer stereotype. You know, gamers are geeky, socially inept, overweight and satan worshippers (okay I exaggerate..maybe that's another trait). But the article claims gamers are pretty well rounded folk (not necessarily rounded physically).

According to a survey conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates, computer and video game players spend more than three times the amount of time exercising or playing sports, volunteering in the community, reading, or engaging in religious, creative, and cultural activities than they do playing video games. In total, gamers spend 23.4 hours per week on these activities, compared to 6.8 hours per week playing games. Avid gamers -- those who play games 11 or more hours per week -- spend 34.5 hours per week on the activities mentioned above.

See? Balance is good and gaming is part of the balance in life. Now excuse me while I exercise my fingers and play a game.
