Poll: Gaming While Sick

[ProfessorLayton]

Once I had an enormous headache and a cold but there was nothing to do so I just played Gears of War 2 online for about 6 hours straight. Definitely not a good idea. I was terrible and kept messing up and when I was done my head was pounding. I game while I'm sick because there's nothing else to do, but I end up paying for it. I'm even worse playing them than if I was healthy.

I suck at games when I'm sick, but I'll play anyways because it's a free country.

 

[CloakedOne]

as far as I know, I'm pretty much the same healthy or sick while gaming

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

The only things I have when I'm sick are rest, books, games and TV.

It sucks when I have a cold that has headaches, as they prevent books and games and TV.

But normally I just game whenever, sick or not.

Depends.. if im coughing or have a sore throat I usually don't because I don't think my teammates or anyone online want to hear coughing every 10 secounds so no Mulitplayer but single player...yeah of course.

I tend to play worse when sick, but what else is there to do when you're lying on the couch trying not to feel terrible? I spend the whole day gaming and reading and sleeping when sick.

 

[Zildjin81]

I'm usually busy you know, being sick.

 

[Julianking93]

Unless I'm truly ill, nothing's gonna stop me from gaming.

I haven't been sick in almost 3 years and even when I do get sick, it was minor, so its really no big deal.

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Depends on how sick I am and what I am trying to play. I definitely wouldn't be as good at something like Rock Band. Something not involving hand-eye coordination like that; I wouldn't have a problem with.

 

[IxionIndustries]

I can't really play games when I'm sick.. All the sneezing and shit distracts me.

So normally I go and veg out on the couch.

If I feel unwell my ability to play games like shooters goes down considerably - my concentration and reflexes go to hell. A nice relaxing RPG like Final Fantasy or even Pokemon, however, would go down a treat.

 

[Shadeovblack]

If I'm sick, then I'm REALLY sick. Only the strongest of diseases get me, so I tend to stay in bed.

 

[Rational-Delirium]

Normally I can, but I was recently so sick that anything I looked at looked like something else. For example, the Latin I was trying to translate for class started to swim and look like Greek. Only then can I not play. Anything else is fine.

 

[Icehearted]

Definitely depends on the game and the amount of experience I have with it. Pain is distracting, and noisy flashing shooters or fighters are had on my eyes/head when I'm ill.

 

[orangebandguy]

I always play videogames when I'm off sick. Helps pass the time.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

For me, more or less, disease is the best reason to sit behind my pc and waste hours of my life

 

[GodofDisaster]

If I can move well enough to function my own thumbs and fingers, then yes I will play a game when I'm sick.
