"Average gamer is 35, and depressed"

What do you think? I didn't even bother to read the article since the media (mostly liberal) is so biased towards gamesthat I don't even pay attention. Not everyone that plays games becomes a slob as the article seems to imply.

Liberals hate gamers that's not true... I MEAN uh... liberals are horrible Libertarians FTW!!

*Is not 35 or depressed*

lolwut? I know the average gamer age is supposed to be about 29 or so. Not sure where they are pulling this 'depressed' bs out of.

I'm a gamer and depressed sometimes. Ah, dammit! :x

Maybe the words are jumbled. How about "average 35 year old gamer is depressed"?

I'm 19 and depressed every now and then.

I'm 24 and i'm just a bit sad...but that's mainly 'cause I paid to see Skyline earlier instead of watching We were soldiers on TV

im 20 and depressed gamer

I'd be pretty depressed if I was 35 and my primary 'label' that I'd give myself was "gamer".XilePrincess

So the poll involved only 552 adults and was only conducted in the Seattle-Tacoma area? That area of the U.S. already known for having a high suicide rate so adding gamer into the mix seems to be a pretty unfair headline grabber as it's just another current popular pastime.

Whoever said that about being 35 and labelling yourself is a gamer is correct. Who would say that, first and foremost, they are a gamer except someone who has nothing else going for them? I mean, you can be a gamer but you don't have to go around acting like that is what defines you.

It seems to me that one could rather easily make the suggestion that it is instead the case that depressed 35-year-olds are more likely to play video games.
