Possible, but I've seen some of my little nephew's classmates actually be underweight, weak, and skinny. They mostly play games rather than do their schoolwork.

FrankDrebin5313d ago

or video games they would find something else to do...and eat at the same time. Maybe they would sit around, drink a liter of cola, a pound of chicken nuggets and put together puzzles.

Don't blame tv or video games, blame the person!

GameOn5313d ago

Can't really blame the person when they're a kid, they don't know better. Blame lies with the parents for allowing their kids to get fat by not feeding them properly.

Darkstorn5313d ago

I think there's pretty much a consensus on this. Fat kids, skinny kids, any time of person who has low self-esteem about themselves seek escape. That escape is entertainment - namely movies and video games.
The video games are not at fault, but they definitely can be addicting, and all addictions are bad. Again, it depends on the willpower of the person, and the parent's need to regulate their kids time using media and make them go outside and exercise regularly. Can we all at least agree on that?

YET I go to the gym 4 times a week (bench press over 200 lb) and do well in school.

Well i'm a gamer for almost 13 years (I'm 20yo). I've always been slim :]

The title's wrong, it should be:

Research: if you're teen and fat and have a high pitched voice, you most likely play Xbox 360 games

WenisWagon5313d ago

I'm pretty sure obesity in the US began to become a major problem back in the '80s, and interestingly enough there was no Xbox around during that time.

chisox1005313d ago

i was fat until is stopped playing xbox

James Bond5313d ago

I think we found the source of obesity in America.

Lou Ferrigno5313d ago

didnt that burger king game come out for the xbox 360 some years ago? .. EXACTLY!

George Sears5313d ago (Edited 5313d ago )

I'm slim as hell. I eat and never gain anything. Tried exercising but damn I'm too lazy for commitment. Haven't had a stable relationship until now thankfully.

gumgum995313d ago

I hear ya. I'm quite skinny myself. I have quite the appetite, yet I maintain the same weight regardless. My dad ays it will balance out in my 20's though.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
