First Wii Injury..
I threw out my right shoulder, and can only type.. Moving it, picking things up, even using the mouse..are real chores. I was playing billiards on Wii Play for about 3 hours, and was scoring really well. Until it was about my 20th game, when..
*newtype flash, seized muscles, followed by falling wiimote*
Yeah, it HURT.. The whole shoulder, the muscle on my back as well as my bicep are buggered up. It really blows..
So, enough about me; Got any stories of gore and woe relating to video games?

Not really the closest is when a friend through a Super Nintendo controller at me and chipped my tooth slightly. We were playing Donkey Kong Country or was it Super Mario World? Either way I wanted to play and he said "no" then he's like "ok fine" and throws the controller at my face. -_-
Edit: Oh wait! Mario Party on the N64 the first one. The pain caused on my palm from the rotating.

This was more mental than physical.. but in Megaman X Command Mission there is a special boss which her name I can't remember. But it is to unlock X's hyper armor. They're like dancing green ballerinas or something but oh man. The amount of time I put into beating them. Half a month later i beat them but in excitment, I forgot to save my game...
Man I went crazy then.

blisters. Since as long as i can remember. I play alot of street fighter on the playstation consoles. And pulling the 360 degree motion on a dpad does some pretty bad things to your thumb.
Most of the time i have a pretty bad callous built up. But when i don't feed the beast enough. I'm prone to getting a gross blister on my thumb once again.
I've also been physically assault by a controller a few times. Those things can make some pretty scary weapons in a pinch.

I don't think I've ever had any injuries due to gaming. And I log in some serious hours on the consoles and have done so for the better part of 21 years. Or atleast, whenever the Nintendo first came out. Before that I didn't exactlly have the motor skills to really be considered as 'gaming.'
Aside occasinally burning myself from a cigarette because I'm not paying attention, spilling soda and bumping my head on the table to chase after it, or some other assorted bungle, I've sustained no real physical injury.
Of course, when I play games, I kind of slump into one position and if my hands aren't moving, you'd figure I was dead.

"Newtype flash" made me giggle audibly in class. I hope you are happy.
Mario Party inflicted enough injuries on people that they made a Mario Party glove. I never got one, I wore my immature stigmata on my hands with pride.
Boxing on Wii made me unable to rotate my shoulder for a good couple days. I threw my shoulder out doing the victory dance(special olympics edition) after a long, hard match.
I haven't had a true Wiinjury yet since I haven't punched my TV, ceiling fan, or girlfriend.

I've had countless blisters over the years, between my N64 and 360, but nothing really major. The closest thing I've had to something serious is if I jump up from my computer too fast and bang my head (Or shoulder) against the stairs my comp is under (This happens at least once every few weeks or so).
On the other hand, my cousins (Who have pretty much every console and video game system released since Super Nintendo) have suffered countless injuries, ranging from minor stuff like me to at least one broken foot and a seperated shoulder (From the ones I know were caused by video games), usually with some crazy stories to go with them.

What is this "stretching" you refer to? Such an alien term is unknown to us video gamers.. It's like the term girlfriend, exercise, or social life.Wedge14 wrote:You guys who hurt yourselves playing Wii, should really consider doing stretches before playing. I know that just sounds crazy. But trust me Stretching really does help with avoiding injury.

I never think that stetching should be necessary for a video game, at least until I played Wii. I never thought a video game system would be capable of inflicting injury.Wedge14 wrote:You guys who hurt yourselves playing Wii, should really consider doing stretches before playing.

I do stretch more, though.
I've just scraped some skin off my palm and got blisters from spinning the analog sticks too fast and too much while playing DBZ Budokai 2 or 3. Also while this don't really count I've gotten cut on my left arm while playing Samurai warriors. I was just sitting there playing my character got sliced(The left arm was hit) and then my arm started to hurt and when I looked at it I saw a cut on my arm.
