Because now I know that somewhere in the world there were people getting paid to come up with crap like this and label it "research".

Look at that fat chick in the picture! She's wearing a Live headset and holding an Xbox 360 controller! Hilarious! Maybe if the 360 had motion controls early on she would be about 250 pounds lighter!

35 avrage? i would guess the average is around probably 20. just look at all the 7-13 year olds there are that game that would bring the avrage down, and then the 14- 18 year olds. the older dudes are out numbered. but maybe in the future where alot of the population are ageing and a good majority of us will be 35-50 years old.
