Definitely leg. I need both hands to play computer games! Plus I play cello, and it would be a great way to get out of PE. Hmm, this is giving me an idea *runs to garage to fetch chainsaw*

Pretty obvious question to ask in a games forum.

Any'ho. I'd say LEG. I wouldn't be able to play guitar with an arm.

Leg, this was an easy choice. I only need one leg to drive, I need both arms to do other daily tasks.

It would be fair easier to lose a leg then an arm regardless if you like to game or use computers. Fake legs work much better then fake arms as well. And for most people's regular activities they would only need one good leg to do, such as driving.

A leg, because they do have fake legs that do work decently. Fake arms, not so much.

If I got a better version of the DARPA arm except for legs... Id probably live without a leg... but I would rather keep my legs and lose my left arm. I can still function with one arm...

A leg, you could still game all day.... There's just more people with a single leg than people with a single arm.

Leg. If you lose your leg you can still get around and do the same thing you could do when you eventually get there.

Without an arm you can just walk around like normal but be miserable

Easily the leg. You'll be able to walk at least sorta normaly on fake legs. A fake arm is never going to give you back the dexterity of your fingers.

Leg, especially if it was from below the knee, cos then a prosthetic is pretty much as good as the real thing.

A leg. A prosthetic leg and therapy are what you need to return largely to normal after losing a leg. I'm not undermining the injury, but living and recovering from losing an arm is more difficult.

Also, you can never regain the finger movement unless you signed up for testing for cybernetics, but no cybernetic arm moves as fast or as well as a regular arm and they're expensive, and there's a ton of complications.

My leg. I could figure out how to play piano with one leg (even if I lost the right one. An arm? Yeah... not so much. Some composers wrote some good music for one-armed pianists, but suffice it to say the repertoire isn't nearly so expansive as it is for two-armed musicians, and I can play the one arm stuff without losing one of my arms.

That said, I would really, really hate to lose a leg; just not quite as much as losing an arm. But I can't really think of a situation where I would be asked to choose to lose either a leg or an arm.

A guy I know's leg was run over by a train (seriously) and has a prosthetic leg now. He can run and jump still even. He didn't loose many of this abilities from the past aside from skatebording. Loosing an arm would completely suck... a leg would suck but it wouldn't be as bad. I'd rather loose my leg than many things...

Leg. Its harder to get a good fake arm than a good fake leg.
