New Study Proves that Really Old People Suck at Video Games

Apr 1, 2011

A new study from Princeton University proves what many already knew—Really old people suck at video games! Oh, you use a walker? You suck!  Wearing depends?  You suck!  Hearing aid acts up when you use a headset?  You suck! 

The study, led by a Princeton sociologist named Jasko Golden, surveyed 450,000 Americans in 2009 and 2010 to measure their day-to-day happiness and overall life satisfaction with really old gamers.

According to Golden, happiness increases when not gaming with, but rather against geriatric gamers. Even then, while your daily mood won’t improve with further play, people who can stomp on gramma or grampa gamers will continue to feel an increased “overall sense of success and well-being.”

So what happens if you’re not beating on your elders by spawn camping and no scoping? “Being L33T is so important and a high K/D means so much in our society today, that it’s hard to be happy,” Golden says. “It interferes with your enjoyment of games like Black Ops or Halo if you get saddled with these prehistoric gamers on your team rather than getting to publicly embarass and harrass them.”

Ain’t that the truth.

Happy April 1st PCP.
