Peeple wot play viideo games are well fick

[toythatkills]

Research from Oxford university suggests that people that play video games are less likely to go to university. Also, and prepare to have your mind totally blown here, kids that enjoy reading... GET BETTER JOBS.

This news is brought to you by the letters F and O for Flipping Obvious and the number 17,000 for how many people's time it wasted.

17,001 if you include my making this thread.

17,002 if you include you reading it.

HA! I just completed 100 classic books on DS, some chapters were very tough indeed.
Must admit when I saw the headline on here I thought what has Russell Brand been saying about games?

You should have included a poll asking Did you go to Uni? lol

New research by Mr Kipling has revealed that 100% of Oxford attendees who have produced biased games related studies have yet to get laid and will be hit hardest when released into to the cold reality of a post recession work market. Mr Kipling will be committing aid packages containing some exceedingly good cakes.

I went to uni *because* I played videogames.

I think these people should take those letter F & O , and arrange it into a famous saying.
F*** O**
More middle-class nonsense to keep the working-class down.

Balancing Uni and an MMO, I should have gotten a Degree in that too.

I'm surprised you can flex anything but your index and middle finger if you're playing 2 MMO's :P

Not literally at the same time, but yeah I was an active part of both Star Wars Galaxies and FFXI during each of my 3 years at uni.

[Dogg Thang]

I dropped out of University in part because of games. Too much nethack while I was supposed to be at lectures. Yep, I'm serious. Of course, dropping out turned out to be the best thing I could have done. Uni isn't the be all and end all.

[Spatial]

Amen to that. I wish I'd not bothered going and followed the wealth of other options that were out there - at the very least it would have stopped me from falling into a soul destroying job that I can't stand.

Er.... innit, or somefink. Whatevah.
