Evidently on a posting tear today. What happens when you're stuck in a Dr.'s waiting room, I guess...

I'd like to know what source that page is using. What does it count as "gaming"? Because too often, these stats include both intentional and incidental gaming. Those are my terms because I don't know what the official terminology is, but it's a distinction that I know gets talked about in serious circles and it's worth making here. When people talk about who is a "gamer", they instinctively always mean people who have made a deliberate decision to sit down and play a game now. They don't mean "oh I'm bored, let me pull out the phone and play a round of Candy Crush".
