Gaming Pain
Today, my index finger was shaking. Not badly, but noticeably, especially resting on a mouse. The onset of early arthritis? Thankfully not. I realised it was from hanging onto colossus after colossus in that game. Gripping R1 for hours on end clearly had its impact. Don’t worry, it’s better now. My left middle finger also gets a friction blister near the knuckle during PS2 fighting games - weird. Do people make these kind of sacrifices to experience movies or books? I think not.
Anyone else had any such gaming related (very) minor injuries?

Just some mild soreness in my fingers from playing fighting games too long. No DDR horror stories to share, I’m afraid. :)

Oh, DDR! The first time I played I got hooked for four hours straight. I could barely walk the next day. :)

I used to cut my hands appart playing HOTD2. Trigger finger on my right hand passing over the palm of my left continusously for an hour at a time. Had to start cutting and filing my nails.

The police 911 arcade game.. Man, that game made you actually duck and strafe in real life, so after a couple of continues your kneecaps felt like someone’s been gently banging on them with a crowbar for the past however long.. great game still, tho.
