Study: Gamer's Wives

I swear as soon as something breaks at work, I'll fix it.

Kotaku covered this Boston college professor who is looking to make a study out of the info he gets from gamers' wives and girlfriends. Of course this screams unfairness. That would be like proposing a study about husbands and boyfriends of female clothes owners.

This spring I hope to conduct several group interviews during which I can listen to 4-5 women talk/rant/bitch about life with a gamer.

He is expecting the worst right out of the gate. What about letting them praise them for free computer repairs and tech support. Being of mechanical mind. Solving puzzles while shooting bad guys. Extreme filanges dexterity in the bedroom...

Without any case, I propose a study of television watcher's significant others. How we...I mean they think of the complete...I mean the possibility to waste copious amounts of time doing absolutely nothing, physically or mentally, without any participation in the outcome of the show.

So really, we're talking about a study of human habits. A waste of time and energy if you ask me. All studies like this do are irritate the people who they are about and make everyone else feel like the issue is a disease. Or he's looking to get alone in a room with one of 4-5 women and hope that one of them hates there husband just enough...
