Have you ever injured yourself playing video games? Usually when I get mad playing a game I throw my controller and stuff one time it bounced back a hit me but have you ever like broke a finger or something like that?

What?!? I' m lost here. Finger bashing maybe...personal injuries no. Maybe you' re one to suffer from Epilepsy? Possibly shaky hands or spazms due to the vibrating controller? I just don' t see any personal injuries happening unless your friend or girlfriend beats you up for cheating or being too damn good.

I once had my thumbs turn real dark and a giant bump/blister form on the side of my thumb while playing Super Street Fighter IIx for the 3D0, that' s how bad those controllers were!

Tonight I almost vomited from playing We Love Katamari. The game causes extreme motion sickness because of it' s poor presentation. By the way, the game doesn' t really offer anything new if you' ve played Katamari 1.

You sure you didn' t almost throw-up because of the game' s Cuteness factor?

The constant rumble from playing Rez made my hands go sore for a few days. Grabbing stuff really made the tendons and stuff hurt.

Super-smashing the A button on DC Shenmue II in arm-wrestling bouts. Dang, that was painful. And only for $40 HK Dollars! Peh.

Its a good way to build your arm muscle, actually
Shenmue...

It' ll be back....

If I' m serious, I think your mom was pissed and she throwed the console through the window. You slept under it and you' ve got now a cat-like flat face. (just kidding, don' t kill me)

' Gamer' s thumb' is what it was originally called...

I got it playing with those Atari and Nintendo joypads that require the thumb to actuate the " fire/action" or " A/B" buttons.

I remember developing a massive blister, by tapping the buttons like a madman on one of those olympic games. God, I hate those games

I don' t usually throw joypads/joysticks, but I did yank and throw that one cartridge across the room and watched it put a hole in the wall!

Still felt frustrated...
