LOL - this is an awesome thread.
Whenever a story like this pops up, you always have masses of self-proclaimed "gamers" announce that they have very strict diets, exercise regularly and don't spend that much time playing the games which they talk about endlessly on the forum. If all these so-called facts were true, we'd have a LOT less people on this forum, or at the very least, have a bunch of threads on the half Iron-Man that was just done in East London, or "What road/mountain bike do you have?" (in fact, some of you probably thought "Iron Man" as in the superhero just now, didn't you?)
What I've experienced, first hand, from the "gamers" as a community, is a bunch of people who spend an enormous amount of time on the games they love. They eat about as much junkfood as the average American during superbowl weekend and have a tendency to smoke and drink as well.
So, where (oh where), are these body-building, fit-for-life athletes that I'm hearing about on here? I sure as heck have never seen any of them at Rage.
(sorry OP, my post is a little off-topic. I just had to comment on the humour of this thread)
