It was only a matter of time until a study proving that what people think about gamers is completely wrong was released.

It's time to get the beers out of the fridge (or milk, or soda bottles) and place them on our PlayStation 3, because following some recent studies, Sony's console consumes five times more energy than a medium sized refrigerator (with a height of 60 inches and 12 cu. ft. volume).

Of course, as a faithful Apple fan, and a user of the company's devices, you will cough letting a few nasty words slip through your lips too. It's true though.

Every now and then some psychologists, scientists or general researchers come up with a study that makes us, the gamers, feel a little bit better and hope that the general game-hating will drop (at least a little).

To say it short and begin as no news should, here is the conclusion: video games make you dumb.

In what could be the scientific breakthrough of the millennium, a Stanford University researcher basically claims that men like playing video games more than women do. Duh!
