New Study Shows 62% of Gamers are Dolphins

In light of a new discovery found by the famous <a href=http://www.northernlightsiceland.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Flood-plain-turf-houses.jpg>Icelandic University of Marine Electro-interactive Sociology and Sciences, anthro-gendered mouth-breathers being the primary demographic for the so-called "gamer movement" isn't far from the truth.

Published in the New Bjork Times, the study reveals that the capacity of this undersea mammal exceed those of a common gamer enthusiast. This new type of sea-basement-dweller, seen previously only as a slightly over-developed vertebrate, has been shown possess a terrifying prowess when it comes to these so-called "games". Yours truly sat down with Professor Dilfiini of MESS for an in-depth look:
Hello Professor!

Eeek eek!

I... beg your pardon?

Ah! it is merely "hello" in delphatin. Pardon, I forget the syntax is too varied for a proper inter-species relations.

We're not gonna do it with dolphins are we?

I meant to say communication, sorry. You know how it is to be immersed for too long, I'm sure!

I see. How do you stand on this new development?

It is absolutely fascinating when looked at from an outsider perspective. The variability of their thought-processes when applied to the interactive medium is finomenal, overtaking us in even those areas generally excelled in by the average human. These included: strafe-firing, quickscoping, APM per minute, nose-diving, horn-tooting, tea-bagging, reverse-engineering consoles to serve as modular implants, sooth-saying, and flame-repelling via ocular hydropumping.

Do you think that these "animals" may actually impact children online?

Amusingly, no. Though capable in all these areas, most of these watery dwellers tend to have a low win-rate amongst most games that either lack interactive water or have little water-to-surface areas, as they tend to find themselves congregating around these small outcroppings or "pools" as they prefer to call them. In any case, this is a break-through unlike any other in sea-faring mammalian socio-economic cycles.

Does other sea-life participate in the activity?

We've seen rare attempts by crustaceans - specifically the shell-crabs- to attempt playing, but the interface is just not there yet. The left-right movement plane is relatively unused, so the crabs oft find themselves walking side-ways through levels, which is not supported by the visual interface devices outside of the WiiU.

So would you say these sea-bandits are corrupting our youth?

Haha, no! I would say that they may open up facets of our life that we may have previously left undiscovered. After all, we are not so different as to be completely incompatible.

They're fish.
Well, no, they're a mammal that resides under w--

They have fins. They have eyes on either side of their head. They swim under water.

Yes, well, they vary in-as-many ways as people, be it by size, length, color--

I'm sorry, I don't see race.

What?

Would you consider yourself a crab person?

...
Sadly, our recorded session of the interview ends there.

The professor goes on to say that these sea-faring creatures tend to primarily focus on online environments as a natural response to needing interaction with peers. Fortunately for us these so-called "dolphins" tend to remain irrelevant in light of having counter-intuitive habits, so our "gaming" public at large should remain relatively unmolested. However, in the interest of truthiness when it comes to our reporting methods, we sent our top reporter, Doug, to reach out to one of the representatives of the species, <a href=http://cdn.zmescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/killer-commando-dolphin.png>Dolph van Depthbane, to comment on the study:
"Eeeeeeik eek ek EEEEIK. Eeeekkekekeeek."
This was roughly translated by our dolphin-interpreter on staff to mean: "Blow it out your ***".

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Doug E. Wolfson of the Corbe Report has disappeared, and his last recorded sighting was found in this short clip.
We hope he will be found soon.

We extended this study to several major publishers, including EA and Activision, to gather their opinion given this new-found data, but there was a universal decline to comment. Crab conspiracy? I'll let you decide.

What are your thoughts on your new, nosy, nautical neighbors? Do you think the recent exclusion of pools from the Sims 4 affected its sales given this newly-gleaned demographic? Are they trying to take our games? Are you totally sure about the absence of crab people? I'll say one thing: until we know what these creatures are capable of, we give them one option.
The nuclear option.

This has been Steffin Corbe, of the Corbe Retort - Bringing the truth since truth was invented and had a supersize option.

"Borrowing" PsychicTaco115's schtick I see.
I'm not really impressed here.

It reminds me of that time some poster tried to steal Jack and Calumon's schtick.

I can still rememeber Jack and Calumon's name. But I don't remember the other person.
If by "borrowing" you mean "taking back the stifled and chokéd tablet of journalistic integrity."

I reached out to this tortilla-toting travesty. I doubt he has the cahones.

Well, as they say, the highest form of flattery is imitation. This happens all the time on the internet. Taco has no patent on these kinds of posts. And honestly, it hurts no one. Taco will still be around to be the real McCoy.

I read that as "I doubt he has the calories".
According to Google the average Taco has ~226 calories.

We can't know without asking whether or not Psychic Taco has more or less than that. It's possible he has a lot more cheese than the average taco, for example, and cheese is a really high calorie addition, and has a lot of saturated fat to boot.

Well, time for me to fly off with my cohorts.

And remember everyone, the answer is 42.

I don't know what that means, but have you seen that new Apple Watch? Aren't digital watches still a neat idea?

Oh no! You've discovered the secret! We must all run for our lives! What will become of us?!

Also oh no... what will Taco say about this?! *Grabs popcorn*

Man, I thought crabs would be great at side-scrollers.

Yeah, but we all know dolphins aren't real gamers.
This guy gets it. Dolphins and humans are just different, and people need to get over it.
Yeah, I don't get why dolphins have to insist they like the same games we do. The fact is, dolphins like different things than humans do. #speciesrealism
