People say videogames are harmless, yeah right, whats your worst gaming injury(s)? mine would be blistered thumbs, an extremely sore wrist after a prolonged period of Unreal Tournament and a very annoying eye twitch.

Did you know:

If you play games too much during the day time, when you're in bed at night your hands (especially your thumbs) will twitch as you will be dozing and thinking about playing games. Also, playing too many games during the day increases the probability that you'll WTB.

Worst Injury? Gotta be the sprained ankle and the nasty bump on my head when I fell off my chair laughing at CBFD

:-)

P.S. WTB stands for Wet The Bed

Nope that's not right either. You can trigger an epilieptic fit from playing video games but you develop it.
