.....er what? 0_o Unexplained wounds on the hands and feet caused by gaming? You probably mean a stigma...that is a stigma associated with or by being a gamer...at least I hope that's what you mean.

Yes,I get that a lot, but that's because I'm Jesus Christ the 4th

erm..uh stigma? Maybe...well my controllers have never made bloody holes in my palms so uh..no stigmata from games over here...learn to spell maybe?

*sigh* I knew I shouldn't have bought that Xbox controller with the spring-loaded, razor-sharp spike force-feedback feature... although the red stains look kind of cool against the white plastic...

The closest thing to a stigmata I have is just from fighting game rolls on older gaming systems. My left thumb is really calloused.

Wonder if there's any relation to Raptor Jesus...

Okay, the misspelling joke has been abused enough, people. Let's stay on the subject of video gaming stigmas, like unwarranted labels, including "casual" and "hardcore", placed upon you without consent.

I don't experience either to be honest.

 

[Labyrinth]

I don't get it much, because people overload me with so much of the Metalhead stigma that there's little room for anything else.

Oh, and I'm female. That plays a part unfortunately.

If that wasn't a typo then no I can't say I have had them. I have however got calluses from from PC gaming, and when I played HOTD:4 religiously I had calluses from that too.

Man I got huge callouses on my thumbs back in the day from this one genesis controller I had. I remember how much my thumbs would hurt after an hour of playing mortal kombat.

Ah, yes. Mashing the buttons with one thumb, rolling the D-pad with the other. I remember those blisters...

No... but I was goofing off with a chick and started to play DDR and pulled a hammie!
