... I'm really not sure how to feel just now.
On topic, I guess I'd say calloused thumbs from playing the hell out of Super Street Fighter II on the SNES. Also, I got this really bad pain at the base of my thumb for a few days right after Super Mario 64 came out. Wasn't used to a thumbstick back then.

Sometimes I get blisters on my fingers from too playing my xbox too much. Especially in those games that have you mashing the buttons ridiculously. Though back when I played PS2 I got them a lot more often, which I take to mean the buttons were harder or something. Or maybe my fingers were too young and soft and vulnerable.
Also I get headaches or dizzy or whatever if I'm staring at my computer screen too long. Especially when I get back from vacation or sometime when I haven't played videogames for awhile, which I think is pretty cool since it means I build up a temporary immunity to it. Or I just get used to it. Sounds cooler the other way.
Also my (right) wrist starts to hurt sometimes, and my neck hurts if I keep it in one position too long. But watching my TV while I'm on my computer helps since it makes me turn my head sometimes to look at it.

I feel sorry for your sticky computer.
Anyway I've had a friend get a black eye because he beat another friend so badly that the beaten friend threw the controler at victor's head.

Anger issues FTW... no anger isses that cost you upwards of two thousand dollars just in computer damages, FTL.
Ya popped one of my fingers out of location and shredded the skin from the innards of the comp and the glass. I dislike losing.

The N64's hard plastic analogue stick. Mario Party. The discovery that your palm can twirl the analogue stick faster than your thumb can.
A few days later, I no longer had palms. My fingers were connected to my wrist through an enormous throbbing blister. Not fun. But at least I got a high score. Which my older brother promptly demolished, by using the same technique with the wonderous addition of a rubber glove. Bastard.

It's not really a videogame, but you heart my eyes with your way of saying you
My friend broke his arm while playing an arcade game, I wasn't there, don't ask me how it happened.

I don't intend to be a Grammar Nazi, because I'm not, but if you want to become a valued member of the Escapist you need to work on your spelling, punctuation and grammar.
I advise downloading an Internet spell check. Mozilla Firefox has one built in but I use IEspell. Don't put all your trust in these however as you still need to re read your posts to make sure they make sense.
It comes down to putting effort in your posts. Put the effort into your post and people will respect it, don't put the effort into it and people wont respect it and they will not respect you.
The same goes for some of the posters in this thread.

You see, what I did there is use proper capitalisation and I spelt things correctly, instead of using the quick (and very lazy) technique of using single letter words such as "u".How I would have written this said:

During a Halo 3 CTF match, I went through a frustration induced spasm that squeezed my testicles together. I was hurting for the next hour. The sad part is that this wasn't the first it happened. I fear that it won't be the last.
When I read the title of this thread......Owie....
Also When I lost my voice playing death metal on a modified GH3 game
