Injuries While Gaming

Every once in a while, while gaming, we manage to get a little out of control and manage to injure ourselves. What's the most serious injury you have suffered while gaming?

How did you manage to break your leg playing WoW?

I think the worst injury I've had from gaming is cramps from sitting down too long or pains in my elbows from too much drumming in Rock Band.

Last year, I got the Wii version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and I had to stop playing it because swinging the Wii Remote like a golf club was starting to hurt my shoulder. This year, I'm going to get Tiger Woods 11 for the 360.

During the week we eat at 0700, 1130, and 1700. Since this 4 day holiday weekend I only ate one pizza yesterday playing WoWbecause I didn't want to go to chow formation and was too cheap to order something.

Does pain in the eyes count?

wwwwhhaaawhhaat? You actually broke your leg while playing World of Warcraft on your computer? Thats nuts. I've never injured myself doing anything other than playing actual sports. While gaming I've never even jammed a finger. I've nearly thrown a controller out the window, but I cant say i've ever tripped over an ethernet cable or tripped over a cord to a controller. you should definately be more carefull while gaming.

I think I've come down with carpal tunnel syndrome at the age of 22 so I think that one counts as my biggest game related injury (then again a lot of my joints ache anyway...I should probably get that looked at...).

The first Mario Party game....nuff said. If you've played it, you know I'm talking about.

A friend of mine has a small scar on his forehead due to gaming though, and lucky for me I was there to witness it. Playing Burnout Revenge, he kept losing races to another friend of mine. He doesn't handle losing well sometimes, and this was one of those occasions. He lept up off the couch took the disc out of the Xbox and whipped it at the TV. The disc bounced off the screen and hit him right in the head, cutting him open. :lol:

He's never played a Burnout game since.

pulled a hamstring. it was during an extended football manager session (hadn'tmoved in about 4 hours :D , the game is dangerously addictive), i was in the middle of a game and i had to make a break for the loo. jumped up and just felt pain.

I got some mild carpal tunnel after playing the Sims 2 for an extended period of time. I'll leave it to you to guess how long that was...

Killer Instinct Gold on the N64 gave me a massive thumb blister that necessitated the wearing of a thick woollen glove every time I wanted to play the thing. I don't know who designed the d-pad on the N64 controller or chose the plastic it was made from, but I can only assume it was someone who hated every other human being on the planet.

My thumb always gets blisters when I play games that relie on D-pads for a long period of time. My eye sometimes twitches when I play games usually games running on the Source Engine it hardly ever happens with any other types of games. Playing Mario Party on the N64 not as bad as my friends were skin would peel from the palm of his hand.

I also broke my tooth playing Golden Eye 007 on the N64. (My tooth would've broke anyway it just happened when I was playing Goldeneye. My teeth were weak I broke them like 10 times.)

Nasty blister in the middle of my palm while playing the Mario Party game on N64, and I can remember my hands hurting from playing extended periods of time with Decathlon(Activision game) on the Atari 2600 back when I was a kid. :lol:

I got some mild carpal tunnel from playing Pokemon too much...

this thread just reminded me of a massive mother **** of a blister I got years ago when playing Tekken 3. I wasn't even that good, I put myself through all that agony for nothing.

I almost got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right wrist. I still have the injury but it only hurts if I play action games for a certain amount of time. It is almost completely healed now but it would had healed much sooner if I would had just stayed off the games and the computer. :P

Well, my legs always feel stiff if I stay on my computer too long. Other than that I've never been injured while gaming before.

I've gotten some nasty cramps that hurt me for days after long weekends of playing FPS's online.

blisters on my palm from broken submission twirling in those terrible UFC games.

The skin on my wrist is somewhat worn, but it hasn't really hurt yet.hydralisk86

From rubbing your wrist against the edge of a desk or mousepad? I wore the skin down so bad there was holes in my wrist. So now I wrap my wrist with an Ace.

I didn't, but my keyboard sure did

No injuries, just overall joint stiffness and dry eyes from running RPGs for hours at a time.:P

I broke my neck playing Pong

nothing very serious to usual eye, hand, back pain.

put a hole in the palm of my hand playing mario party on the n64. Always use a sock people ;)

i broke my thumb by mashing attack on god of war 2. :P

and also while playing DMC4 i died so many times i got angry and threw my ps3 controller and it smashed right back into my face.
