This a screenshot of the 8 year-old N64 wrestling game that they used for the study. How could people possibly feel lower self esteem after comparing themselves to these blocky, super-deformed characters?

I played "Superman" on the Atari 2600. Now, I'm all depressed because I don't have a blocky bodily structure and because I can't fly.

I'm suing.

Cammy was always my favorite street fighter...

Ofcourse you're a fucking troll you avatar-less twat. You sir have succeeded at getting the attention you so desire by throwing baseless insults at the author of the post. Anything for attention, right? You are so desperate for attention that you take one obviously sarcastic comment at the bottom of an informative post and try to make it seem as if Jim Sterling is some ignorant son of a bitch troll like yourself.

Seriously, this is about as straight forward as an article comes. You're right though. Jim, make sure you remove any traces of personality from your posts. It's obvious that people would rather you be a parrot, copying and pasting the articles from other places. I love reading articles that seem as if they were written by machines.

This is a gaming blog, not some corporate dicksucking machine, again, such as yourself. So here's your attention. Now go muse to yourself about how great you while you jack your dick to a picture of your sister. Fucking twat.

I'm sorry about the profanity. I usually don't do this kind of thing. I actually feel kind of bad responding to this Unclefucker because I'm giving him the attention he needs to get his rocks off.
