Gaming Injuries...

[Vergil'sBitch]

Yup... you read right... Gaming injuries.

What with the invention of the Wiimote, there is probably a good chance that a few of us have hurt ourselves.

Last night i was playing as Vergil on DMC3:SE, my thumb slipped off the left stick and got caught under the nail. I now have a lovely bruise there.

I have based myself on items in the room while using the wiimote. (Its a small house, not very good for Wii use.)

I just wondered if you guys have done anything stupid wholst gaming.

I had broken Nintendo 64 controllers, their analog sticks where loose and i had to pull it out on the edge for mario to sneak in Super Mario 64, my gaming injury comes from my thumb when i tried to play mario but i played at least 30 hours of gameplay on that game with broken controllers. I got used to it and later i couldn't write because it hurt when i tried to hold the pen -.- .

Not much, although I had once played Metroid Prime 3 for so long on the Wii that my hands went numb...

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

Oh, i had a good electric shock once when i plugged in my PS1.

 

[Devil Bane]

I never had any injuries.My consoles had though along with some games.Strangelly though,the only things that really broke were my sega mega drive controller[a and b buttons not responding unless fixed] and my game boy advance's d -pad[can't go down].On a side note,those were the weaker ones.While i was smaller i was clumsier with my possesions,yet apart from tiny scratches nothing serious ever happened.I guess they take after me a bit...kidding.[Not they really are like me.Sturdy and long lasting.]

Um...heheh...:| ... when I really get into playing guitar hero, I tend to miss the drum completely and wack my leg with the drum stick instead. And not once, quite a few times in sequence. :wacko:

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Oh, i had a good electric shock once when i plugged in my PS1.

Heh. That happened to my friend when he tried to plug in his power strip. I saw a few sparks, his hair went up and the next thing I knew, he was on the floor yelling "holy crap! That felt SOOOO weird..."

 

[Chaos Raiden]

Had blisters when playing DMC and Tekken 5. Pressed the buttons too hard and fastly resulted blisters on my fingers. :lol:

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

I think i got off quite lightly with that shock.
That happened at night, and the bang woke eveybody up...
I have also had a piece of plastic fly out of the PS1 from the bit that holds the disc.

 

[Durante]

My brother pulled my ps2 by the controller and my ps2 fell down while the disc flew outta console and it flied straight at me :lol: FLYING DISC OF DEATH otherwise i don't get injuries,only sudden shocks on some games :lol:

 

[Angelo Credo]

Back in the days where I spent hours mastering combos and flawlessly doing levels on Devil May Cry 3, untouched by any enemy because I was so damn good at dodging, jump cancelling and various combos and all that jazz. Well, three words for you.

Repetitive. Strain. Injury.

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

RSI... I forgot about that one!!

 

[Devil Bane]

Never had RSI.Not even when i did my 48 hour summer marathon of gaming-cooking-eating home alone.

 

[Meg]

One time I got so mad at the game I was playing I punched my leg repeatedly. That was stupid.

 

[DeviRyuuD]

I had a stupid injury when palying DBZ on GameBoy(the oldest one). I was just about to defeat Piccolo, because i gradually sucked at that game, and i mistakenly used punch instead of kick which resulted in Goku`s death, out of anger i set my GB flying straght at the wall and then it fell on my legs thumb... Stupid to the extreme, but that was one thing i`ll never forget, because i laughed my @55 off then aswell, because it was stupidly funny.

 

[DanteMustNotDie]

I smashed my PS2 controlled into my leg once. Accidently hit myself in the...groin with a Wii Remote.

Tripped off the Wii Fit balance board. Ect.

 

[Keaton]

^O_O;

I just dropped my 360 control pad on my foot >.<!

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

I must say, i've been using my 360 controller as a paperweight Those things (witha rechargeable battery in it are damn heavy)

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Wow... This is less of an injuries thread as it is a "how stupidly can you hurt yourself with gaming hardware" thread...

BTW, I really liked your story, Durante. FLYING DISC OF DEATH FTW!

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

I once dropped the big brick ps2 onto my foot as well.
