It is often said that we (gamers) are pasty freaks who live in our parents basement, occassionally emerging into the light for a snack or maybe a toilet break. Ok, so 45% of the time this may be true but i would argue that gamers will eventually be the saviours of the world or even the UNIVERSE.

If the walking dead rose and began chewing brains in the streets what would regular people do? They've never experienced this before. They would all die. Ah, but gamers, on the other hand, are savvy. We've played Resident Evil Zero through 4, House of the Dead, Dead Rising etc. We know that if anyone starts feeling "itchy" and "lumps of flesh start falling off" it's time to lop of their head with a spade. Gamers are a valuable part of society.



Ok, well, the walking dead is quite unlikely (we can only hope) but gamers have actually proven to have better hand eye co-ordination. Surgeons who play games for so many hours a day actually make fewer mistakes. That's right kids, if you want to be a doctor like that nice House guy then pick up a copy of Trauma Centre.



Also, since everyone in the future will be living in an online world; leaving their old meaty bodies behind, gamers will already know what it's like to live in virtual reality- 'cos they've been doing it for a long time anyway.
