A survey has discovered almost a fifth of gamers are women, a third are over 35, and 54 per cent are in relationships. And now a photographer has used these findings, combined with 2,000 portraits, to reveal the face of the nation’s average gamer.

why does the man look like the woman

Another reason to be proud of Birmingham
As we all know, Dominio's Pizza is the top scientific institute.
I hate retards who pretend to know what they are talking about
[QUOTE=Masterofstars;44806085]I'd fuck him.[/QUOTE] Flaunt more.

Slow news day, more of these bullshit "Studies" to fill up the space.
so the average gamer is bald with a pre-puberty attempt at a moustache

[QUOTE=MrEndangered;44806178]I heard you only got a Third in Upper Crust Studies, you fraud.[/QUOTE] yeah, a few scientific critics have deeply panned me for that
Obviously wrong, where are the spots?
[QUOTE=lazyguy;44806220]Obviously wrong, where are the spots?[/QUOTE] When you mush 2,000 portraits into one, you get some unnatural smoothness.
I hate how people always say "Look, you spent 200$ on gaming!". It's not like other hobbies don't cost money.
This just in, people look like people.
[QUOTE=Durrsly;44806092]As we all know, Dominio's Pizza is the top scientific institute.[/QUOTE] When I ordered my last survey, I asked them to hold the bologna.
[QUOTE=Breny;44806316]I hate how people always say "Look, you spent 200$ on gaming!". It's not like other hobbies don't cost money.[/QUOTE] Nobody's ever said "You spent £200 on books?!" but when I tell them the estimated value of my game collection they flip their lid. It's weird.

Those are some statistics that are pretty hard to argue with. What's so bad about gaming? How is playing a game any different from watching a movie or reading a book? And 1 in 7 pissed in a bottle to avoid leaving the room? Make up statistics for pathetic fear mongering fine, but that's just immature. Also, what are gamers? A different fucking species?! [QUOTE]the nation’s average gamer.[/QUOTE] 'Be careful, they could be dangerous!'
[quote]Gamers have garnered a reputation for being young males, typically late teens to early twenties, who are unemployed,[/quote] I'm willing to bet that a) kids in their teen years are less likely to be employed because of school and b) many older gamers are employed because how the hell else are we suppose to purchase these games if we don't have income.
[QUOTE=Jackald;44806728]Most of these surveys tend to consider playing any video games at all for any amount of time as "being a gamer." Just playing Angry Birds on your phone for 2 minutes makes you a "gamer" to most of these surveys. I've seen a lot of discussions on tumblr that are like "Girls make up 50% of gamers according to these surveys", but if you actually cross tabulate dat shit, you see that "hardcore" games (as in not mobile games and facebook games) are still pretty male-dominated. Some of them also are clearly pretty biased if you look at the spread of demographics interviewed; the interviewers deliberately found the most obsessive nerds they could so that they could go "HOLY SHIT, THEY'RE DISGUSTING" Just something to consider.[/QUOTE] I don't really see why casual games [i]should[/i] be excluded. It's like surveying drivers but leaving out people who drive a Nissan Leaf.
Certainly an interesting turn of events considering they went with this headline rather famously in the past: [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/3341901662_998f5a0cfa.jpg[/IMG]
holy fuck it's darksydephil
[QUOTE=Zeke129;44806838]I don't really see why casual games [i]should[/i] be excluded. It's like surveying drivers but leaving out people who drive a Nissan Leaf.[/QUOTE] It'd be more like surveying racecar drivers by surveying every driver in the country.
