And on that note, Seth can stop hyperventilating into the paper bag.

Not to mention that there's a ton more different ways to get your game on than 20 years ago, as well as what goes into games nowadays (movie-styled production values, loooooong playing times, etc)
oh, no doubt. i'm just saying that most people here probably logged as many hours per day playing zelda, contra and metroid as the new breed does (which is really the old breed, but older).

F4F, well, the hormonal activity you were describing CAN be seen to some degree, but it isn't that pronounced. There is an entity called testicular feminization, where the person is genotypically a male but does not have receptors on his cells for testosterone. Phenotypically, they are female (I think Jamie Lee Curtis fits into this category). Of course, they don't need to be fat.
Lots of adipose can convert any circulating gonadal hormone into a type of estrogen. Most of the time it really is too insignificant an amount to make a diff.
About video game addicts, Korea is rethinking its insanely high bandwidth offerings cuz many Korean kids do nothing but game or spend all day on the net. They say the average for many kids is around 10 hours/day. Mind boggling. I could game like that over a weekend if I wasn't on call and I didn't have errands.

Disagreed, flesh, especially with online gaming being a major player these days, plus the sheer # of games that are out are mind-boggling - I mean, who has time for all this?
Also helps that (I'd guess) more couples are into gaming nowadays because it's more accepted of a female playing vids. At least that how I got with 2 different girls. Only problem with one of them was that she liked to eat ketchup off a spoon. She ordered nothing else, but ate ketchup off a spoon.

Dang tags not showing up. Was disagreeing that people are putting as many hours in back then. Think the hours have increased, plus the sheer # of gamers adding on to these hours is insane.
Plus, you've got tons of fat kids staying home playing Halo when they should be out burning calories in the sunshine.

Yeah, you can beat Gears of War or Call of Duty 4, but then you can keep playing b/c of multiplayer. Before, you'd beat Zelda in a week, and have to save up for another game

See, there's the difference right there. You would actually close your eyes and not be playing

Expertise, bah. This will be placed in the new "What Have You Learned From F-Dallas?" thread.
but i remember there was a while where i couldn't close my eyes without seeing tetris blocks falling.
And that makes you much less insane. Your indifference of those prior pictures further confirms your lack of insanity, IMO.

Oh, and Jules, thanks for bringing up Jamie Lee Curtis. I thought I had gotten over that image in The Tailor Of Panama, but now it's in my head again. Thanks!

What in the world is wrong with you people and Jamie Lee Curtis? She is probably in my POA hall of fame. Albeit now playing on the Champions tour and not faring so well.

I would go on, be truthful, then convince Mrs. KB that the reason lie detector results aren't admissable in court is b/c of how unreliable they are.

Snopes says nobody knows.
I guess we'll find out when she ends up in the Mutter Museum.

Seth, genotypically, her DNA composition is that of a mans. XY chromosome pair.
Phenotypically, her appearance, is clearly that of a woman despite having the chromosomes that a man would. The reason is that while she is producing testosterone, her body doesn't register it because it doesn't have the receptors (at the cellular level) to act on the stimulus of testosterone.
Consequently, while she has female traits, I don't think she could reproduce. Haven't read about this shit since med school (which now is 9 years ago).
