I'ma pick and choose a part to this...

...They then separated the results for excessive gamers from the casual or non-gamers, defining excessive as those who spend more than 7 hours a week playing computer games or using the internet...

If I was back in Illinois I would say 'HOLY DUMB FUCK' to that being anywhere close to excessive.

But these people REALLY hate staying indoors around here.

Whatever their hobby is, I bet they spend more than one hour a day doing it.

Especially if that's what these pointless studies are. They're good time-wasters, I've heard.

Mother Nature, mostly.

And yes...some much, much longer than your typical 'gamer' who is 'obsessed'. Some of these people I hear end up leaving for weeks or months at a time.

"defining excessive as those who spend more than 7 hours a week playing computer games or using the internet."

It's rare for me to play less than that in one day. As soon as I get home from school I usually start playing video games and go on the computer until I eventually go to sleep

.

After reading the title of the article I didn't think that the experiment could get any stupider although apparently I was wrong
