Student Needs Your Help!

Done.

Even though you got all you needed, I took the survey to hopefully skew the results in my favor.

I realize that gets me absolutely nothing but it sure sounds good

Done, i like how it's "anonymous" but we're all posting here saying that we've completed the survey.

Survey, I am in you.

Done

For science! Er, social science. For social.

Cartoonin. CARTOONIN. CARTOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

Danger zone.

Done and done.

Hmm I just counted up how many hours a week I spend gaming. Yup, I'm a gamer.

And boom goes the dynamite.

Done.

Done. What did everyone else get for number 5? I put Paraguay.

done?

Done

Make it so.

On a side note I did the survey. It would be cool to read the paper you wrote, my years of scientific paper writing are making me curious.

I don't remember, I just picked option C for everything. It's always C.

And that's why you fail at life. It is always B or 2.

But... but.... huh? Shouldn't that be 100% here?

I'd hazard a guess that some people prefer not to identify as 'gamer', as it is reductive and can sometimes associate you with the internet dickwads.

Precisely. Not to say those that identify as gamers are internet dickwads (and the purpose of the survey was to investigate why the community is the contrary), but I found it interesting that at a site called gamers with jobs, it was not so narrow a group of people that we had no outliers.

That's a good thing.

Thanks for posting the results. It's very interesting, and pretty much what you'd guess for this community, for the most part. I was a bit surprised that only 16% owned 360's though.

Question 7*
How many hours (on average) do you spend each week gaming?
0-5 hours 6 6.06%
6-10 hours 30 30.30%
11-20 hours 39 39.39%
20-40 hours 20 20.20%
40-60 hours 3 3.03%
60+ hours 1 1.01%

Oh you liars!

The percentages are misleading. It's 50 respondents had it out of 99 respondents. The 16% is 50 360s out of all consoles noted.

Yeah I was going to say, those %s can't be right.

Right for total, but not right for people.

I know there are lots of PC+console here, as well as Wii60 or WiiS3 owners.

50/99 Wii
51/99 PS3
62/99 360

That makes more sense.
