So, earlier today I found my brother's old copy of Banjo Kazooie, so I decided I was going to play it for old time's sake. I played it for countless hours, and my hands were cramping quite a bit. Nonetheless, I went to the swamp area and did Mr. Vile's eating challenge. I played it over and over without victory, and after a few times my thumb was throbbing. This was hours ago, and my thumb is still hurting a whole lot. I guess I learned there's a limit to playing.

But it was totally worth it, wasn't it?

Ever hurt yourself while gaming? Whether it's something small like hand cramps from extended hours of play, or falling over during games that require you to move your body?

I threw my remote on the ground once when i was playing super smash brothers (Rage Quit!) and it bounced back up and smacked me in the nose. My friend playing beside me laughed so hard, then i threw the remote at him, narrowly missing his head, but i knew he would dodge it. It was still funny though.

The only way I hurt myself is when I get so angry at the game I start screaming and I curse like a sailor and when I get done my head hurts bad

My friend accidentally threw my Wii Remote into the fireplace.

It was an electric fireplace (thankfully) but stuff could have gotten bad.....

Anyone here ever get gigantic hand cramps from long hours of Pokemon Puzzle League? That game is so addictive.

With my old PS2 (the only system I have XD), I was playing video games while my parents were away and decided for some odd reason to swing the controller like a lasso and pretend I was a cowboy.
If you know how bolas work, you will see how this did not end well. X_X

I got a busted up face when me and a friend got in a fistfight after raging at each other after a particularly heated Halo 2 match.

late at night i put my headphones in a jam out to various metal and techno artists whil kickin noobs in halo! By jammin out i mean jumpin and bein really active and singin and gettin really into the musik and the game. needless to say, during my late night jam sessions i have broken 3 toes, tripped over the coffe table about 8 times, spilled countless drinks on the floor, hit my head on the wall, and slipped and fell backwards leaving a massive dent in the wall. all my accidents lately are video game related XD

More times then I'd like to admit... falling out of chairs, controller to the face, carpal tunnel, eye strain- you name it. Gaming can be a very dangerous hobby sometimes... :/

[Pinkazoid!]

Well I get gamer's rage easily and I swear too much, and the only way I end up hurt is when I swear so loud my dad hears me and throws a shoe at me

I've hurt myself once pretty bad playing Rock band, my friends drum kit I was using, the kick on it broke during a long song and cut my food something good. Well I finished the song, and a few bandages later I was good XD

Shortly after Super Smash Bros. Brawl first came out, I was playing a match against my little sister. She was really good at the game and had been beating the crap out of my other siblings (both older than her). I decided to try something stupid.

She liked to play stock matches with now timer, so I chose Pichu to fight her as Marth. I then proceeded to spend the next 10 minutes running all around Hyrule like a lunatic while taunting obsessively. She was so upset that she actually suicided trying to chase me around the stage.

I wasn't able to finish the match because, at that point, she pulled the power cord out of the Gamecube and started chucking controllers at me. I dodged the first one, but I took the second one right in the face at full power. Mercifully, she didn't throw the Gamecube while I was seeing stars.
