According to GameSpot<\/a> [when was the last time I quoted that site?] I am nowhere near an extreme gamer.<\/p>\n

The research firm went on to break down the US gaming population into seven groups, four of which use both PC and non-PC platforms. The biggest group makes up what NPD calls \u201cSecondary Gamers\u201d (33.6 million), mostly female gamers who play less than four hours a week and don\u2019t own a console. The fastest-growing segment was the mostly male \u201cConsole Gamers\u201d (32.9 million), who own at least one or two dedicated gaming machines and play around 12 hours per week. Next up is the shrinking \u201cHeavy Portable Gamers\u201d group (30.0 million), who own at least one portable and are the youngest group, with an average age of 19. The smallest section is the so-called \u201cExtreme Gamers,\u201d whose gaming habit takes up nearly as much time as a 40-hour work week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I did not do the Fat Princess<\/em> PSN thing, which may have been for the best. Qj.net<\/a> reports all sorts of latency issues.<\/p>\n

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2<\/em> T&A. This one from the examiner<\/a> is hilarious.<\/p>\n

And finally, kotaku<\/a> figures roughly 11 million folks use PSN. That number does not completely suck.<\/p>\n

Happy Sunday! Enjoy one (or three) last cold ones because Monday is coming. Fast.<\/p>\n
