Meet Michael, the Future Gamer

[WellbornWarrior]

So I came across this little gem that is equally hilarious as it is frightening:

Everyone meet Michael, a visual representation of the future gamer.
We at OnlineCasino.ca conducted a study and predicted how avid gamers could look in the next 20 years if they didn't change their lifestyle habits. From sleep deprivation and dehydration, to lack of vitamin D, digital eye strain and 'playstation thumb' - these are just some of the physical implications of spending hours online, in a gaming chair, away from sunlight and physical activity. So how serious is this?
We reveal Michael, the future gamer of 2040.

Daily Mirror [UK]: "Terrifying model shows what avid gamers could look like in just 20 years"

Original article Honestly I started out posting this because it made me burst out laughing when it first came up. The more I read though, the angrier it made me. Is this still how some "journalists" are treating videogames and their players? The Mirror is not exactly a high-quality rag to...

Boomers can laugh but in the mean time future gamers are traveling back in time to anally probe the lot of them.
