"Gaming injuries"

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.

Are you sure you were playing on videogames? :)

lol!

I wore my fingernail right down to the skin after too much Track & Field on the PS. OK bit of a sad 'injury', but probably qualifies more than 'having to lie down for a bit'.

My stepdaughter got severe bruising (her mum whacked her for throwing her megadrive controller around the room).

Track and Field and Olympic Gold - Blistered thumbs and really bad case of aching wrists - Couldnt play anything for about a week after that!!

Also at times Quake III makes me feel sick - I know Ive read many cases of people suffering from motion sickness - To long playing Quake and I just want to hurl!!

I got a black eye from playing Champ Man. I was on it for ages and my girlfriend got the hump with me so smacked me in the face. Needless to say I carried on playing.

Athletic games, grrrrrr!

Bashing buttons everywhere as fast as possible for hours, thats gotta hurt!

I know someone who dislocated a finger from Ape Escape.

I once broke a nail :O

You must have been gutted.
