34 healthy.....enough. As for being depressed I do think things could always be better, but I'm happy with what I have.

53 years old, 6'2, 190 pounds. Happy as hell because I'm retired and can play games all day long. 

edit: damn, I put 52, I just had a birthday. I wish they would not come so fast!

I'm so jelly right now.

 I am 32 and slightly over weight due to a military surgery that put me off my feet for 12 months but far from fat. I started gaming on the Atari 2600 and have only been playing MMO's since 2004. Married for 4 years and in no way depressed even though I am now far removed from where I grew up and those I grew up with.

 

Not sure where or how they got those statistics but conciddering how easily people are labled "unbalanced" be it depression or any other "disorder" I'd say the statistics are scetchy at best. Our country loves to make people feel like they have a disorders when what most people go through is perfectly natural. TY drug companies. 

Sorry for that rant but I doubt the 35 fat and depressed is the norm.

I'm a 25 year old male, 5'7", 115 lbs, and quite happy and engaged with the world.

I was terribly depressed from 2000 to 2004, but I attribute that to adolescent hormonal hell. My adult life has been excellent, in my opinion.

Never understood Rorschach tests. I see an ink blot.

About half of the other gamers I know personally are overweight and depressed, though. They make me want to tear my hair out, sometimes. Or tear them out of their seats and educate them on how goddamn enthralled they should be by this universe, how proud of humanity, how happy with the present and excited for the future.

It angers me to no end when people say they are ‘bored’. 

I am not 35!!!!

If aliens could do it, then we might be able to do it too. It's worth a shot in any case; better than sending some tiny man to an empty planet.

 

How to capsulize a person, or even myself? I guess it doesn't matter, for the most part, Age, Sex, OK I can buy that.

But, size and mental state?

Obviously not looking for a target customer.

What would "they" say about me?

Depends on what day they caught me on, or year for that matter.

I ponder what they are actually looking for, how did they, or, did they, validate their data?

And.

Who are , "they"?

What did, "they" have for breakfast?

Special K, eggs and bacon, or the souls of people who actually have found something that interests them?

I was fat until about a year ago. Finally got sick of what I was turning into when I looked at myself in the mirror so started working out every day. Best thing I ever did. Lost over ninety pounds, have a crazy amount of energy now, boosted my morale, etc.

Working out really does make a difference. Especially since even at my age I still like to go out and have a good time on a regular basis and I don't necessarily eat or drink the healthiest.

22, 5'8, 158. I've been playing video games for the last 17 years. Not depressed. I don't think I'm fat but I gained like 20 lbs my last year of college which sucked. Other than that I'm enjoying life. 

34 this summer.

I exercise 3-5 times a week and have been competing in Martial Arts when i was younger (5 years ago). And im not depressed. Im planing to go from EU to USA and study film in NY next year.

My first MMO was SWG.

I am 31, male, fit....sometimes depressed. But then again, in this current world, it is hard for the average person to not be depressed.  A lot of things are wrong for many of us, and the country is not headed in a good direction.
