Mar 26 2010Learnin' Thangs: Video Game Poll Results
Kotaku (a video game blog) recently polled its readers and came up with this informational graphic summarizing over 20,000 gamers' tendencies. Although I question how valid it is since there's no mention of teabagging and name-calling or how often I have to mute all the 12-and-unders playing Call of Duty. Shit, when I was your age we did homework. Plus things outside. I'm talking flashlight tag bitches, what?!

the one thing that bugs me about playing mw2 online is all the little teens (who have probably never even felt, let alone see a boob) talk shit, and whine the whole time..... just sayin

the best part about this post was geekology mentioning his pastime when he was 12. we had this thing called sunlight and we played in it. i'm guessing for him flashlight tag was where he threw it at someone to tag them... i'm just saying.

84% said they only ever read Kotaku second-hand and thus couldn't participate.

You don't actually throw the flashlight...you just tag them with the beam...just sayin (it was fun as hell actually, oh memories).

I highly doubt more than half have pirated a console game and that a quarter have all 3 consoles.
