Ok, so the world is in an obeisity crisis. But from what I've notice from my friends and just people I know who game a lot. Many of them are very physically active, play alot of sport and go to the gym often. In fact, I dont know many unfit/ fat people who game. Back in the day gaming was considered widely for nerds, but recently a year 9 camp bus trip I was on. I saw many girls with ds's playing mario kart to pass the time, I don't think many (and these were fairly popular) girls would have been playing gameboys together on a school trip? And with things like wii fit to entice newer fit gamers into the mix. Could the image of fat/ incredibly skinny and pale nerd gamers be dying? I think so, how about you guys?

I think it's the other way around. More people have started gaming. From all these new people who started out with the PS1 or 2 or Wii, many see gaming as an extra hobby they do besides the sports.

But, you are right that gamers in general have gotten more active. I do believe that's also because gaming is more of an accepted phenomona - you can go to a sports club now, talk about games and no one looks at you funny.

Yeah..they are. I was at the gym the other day and these two guys were talking about God of War 3 from E3...i was like wow...never expected it.
