A new study found two hours of playing video games can burn as many calories as 1,000 sit-ups.
Guys burned an average of 210 calories an hour while gaming, while women burned 236. And it took around 500 sit-ups to burn the same amount.
Of course, just sitting and doing nothing can burn 100 calories an hour. So it's not like gaming burns a ton more. But a separate study last year found gamers are 21% more likely to have a healthy body weight.

The Answer is - Easy Come Easy Go. What is I was the new host, but now I'm Not!
Mike Richards will not become the new permanent host of the iconic daytime game show after all.
Producer Sony Pictures Television announced the embattled Richards – who is also the show’s executive producer – was stepping down from the role.
The upcoming season of Jeopardy! actually started filming Thursday with Richards as host, but on Friday morning he released the following statement:
“Dear Team,
It pains me that these past incidents and comments have cast such a shadow on Jeopardy! as we look to start a new chapter.
I want to apologize to each of you for the unwanted negative attention that has come to Jeopardy! over the last few weeks and for the confusion and delays this is now causing. I know I have a lot of work to do to regain your trust and confidence.”
