What has gaming done to your body ?

[Ciarang]

Better picture soon =D

I am now rather thin for forgetting to eat, I permanently look like I have 2 black eyes from staying up too late and my arms and legs shake a lot from being very on-edge while playing games

I wanted to see if there was a wider spectrum of gaming-related bodily dysfunctions or am I just a little bit obsessed ?

Strangely enough, My fingers have adapted to an controller. They are quite....bent.

It's also handy for typing something, I don't have to reach as far as other people.

 

[Hookman]

Its twisted my hands so they're perfectly adapted to holding a controller. I'm thinner now than I am when I started when I was a small child but thats just because of growth. Its increased my senses and perception over the years as well.

When Fallout was free on Gametap I went 2 days without eating.....

But other than the occasional multi-day gaming session with a new game I get, gaming doesn't really affect my body or my life that much.

I think I'm better at reactions and multitasking. I'm looking forward to seeing what effect this will have when I learn to drive.
I don't think I have any negative effects, except maybe a little paleness.

 

[Tehpwnsauce]

Nothing. I don't game obsessively so it has no affect on my body in any way.

My hands are bent, I've lost weight, (?) my reactions are quicker, and my mind is slightly broken.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Like the majority, bent fingers. I also have severe back-ache due to slouching. Not to mention my lack of motivation to do things. Gaming has poisoned me, but it's a poison I'd keep drinking.

Im pretty sure the bottom of my spine has degraded from sitting in these "gamer chairs"

 

[electric_warrior]

my thumbs click whenever i move them and my hands are always in a controller position, and when i played oblivion i lost nearly a stone in two weeks because of not eating (but weighed 13 stone to start with, so i still wasn't particularly skinny)
surpisingly, sport has had a far worse effect on my body than gaming

 

[ThePirateMan]

I'm quite fine, average weight for my age, only problem is that my physical strength isn't that great..

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I rarely eat, but i drink A LOT of iced tea. I have gained no weight.

My reflexes have improved somewhat....uhh....that's it really.

 

[Mr Companion]

My gaming addiction has covered me with jelly and caressed my nose quietly. That is what it has done to my body. It has done things to my body that I thought not possible. Actually the real answer is below. It's just that when you put "what has gaming done to your body" it sounded like you were asking where the bad man had touched me, and I laughed.

I mean, the answer is obvious, It had made me lanky, pale and free of drugs.

 

[Legion]

It's affected my hands slightly as they feel most natural slightly bent, it hasn't affected my health because I generally eat quite healthily and work out regularly.

It does little to my sleep because I have always been a light/poor sleeper, it also doesn't affect my skin tone because I'd avoid the sun even if I didn't play games.

I don't know about reflexes because I have always had good ones, the same goes for my memory so I'm not sure whether it is genetics/environment/gaming that is the reason.

 

[Jedamethis]

If anything I'm more awesome than when I started gaming

 

[Splyth]

I'm a little big for my age ( I think that has more to do with my stocky body type then actual overeating) I skip meals actually.
