well the typical 34 year old nowadays is probably woefully out of shape haha ... but can't just blame video games .... I have nothing against video games per se ... whatever gets ya thru the night ... alls I know is that I hang n bang regularly at the Y ... plus play hockey in the winter and tennis & baseball in the summer, as well as doing a myriad of other outdoor activities ... but if some would prefer participating in the video versions of a few of these sports rather than actually doing the real thing (not saying that's you) well then ... to each their own.
