Playing computer games in the nude.

According to a survey by Ipsos Reid, one in five (17%) Canadian men with Internet access have played a computer game in the nude.

I’m not a gamer but I guess this would be the digital evolution of strip poker.

Always curious, I Googled “video games in the nude” and came across this shot from the game Tomb Raider which follows the adventures of Lara Croft after a powerful syndicate hires her.

Now I understand.

The same survey provides further evidence that Quebec is lagging the rest of the country when it comes to computer games.

On average, 53% of Canadians have bought a computer game. Residents of Quebec are the least likely to have done so at 40%.

25% of Canadians say they have played a game on Facebook, like Scrabulous. Only 12% of Quebeckers claim to have done so. For more on this, see this previous post

Another revealing stat:

Asked what their earliest memory of using a computer is, “playing Solitaire, Free Cell, Minesweeper or Mah Jong" tops the list among 29% of Canadians and 32% of Quebeckers. But Quebec stands out from other provinces with 25% of Quebeckers saying they first used a computer for email, compared to only 15% of Canadians in the ROC.
