You should give up Blink182 before gaming buddy.

It will probably help.

Trouble holding a controller?  Well you're in luck, Kinect is coming soon! =P



I love blink 182, they were the soundtrack to my mispent youth, I even had a lameass blink 182 tatoo done 12 years ago (dude ranch era blink) that cost a tenner when I was pissed on smirnoff mule, i was only 15 at the time :)

My doctor was kind of cute so I wasn't inclined to be jumping on her head, :)



nintendo and sega fan since i was old enough to hold a game controller.

note: my games collection on my profile is only 20ish% complete, i've got a boatload of 360,saturn and dreamcast games to add and a few ps3 games, thanks :)

For 6 weeks thanks  to some sort of nerve damage in my left hand from holding a controller too long. It's all thanks to a 2 week long session of monster hunter tri where I sunk in 100 hours and didn't pay any attention to the constant pins and needles while I was playing, using the cc pro of course. 

Can't believe it, I still haven't finished alan wake and I just downloaded final fantasy 9 aswell. Lucky I can still play my dsi in small doses though otherwise I would go nuts :{

Wow, that's pretty crazy.  Definitely you should game as little as possible for a while.  If you don't let it heal, you might risk permanently impairing your gaming ability.  You wouldn't want that! 

Just watch some movies or something.  Or play Wii games that only need the Wiimote, if it's only the left hand with a problem you can use your right.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I would feel disgusted with myself if I played a video games for 100 hours a week, that is severe addiction. If I was you I would take a break from all videogames for a couple months and start doing outdoor activities. Go camping with you wife, or do something physical.



                                           

                      The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

docotors are morons you should keep the gameplay down though

but in the mean time try putting lavender oil mixed with st johns oil and olive oil on the effective area a few times a day let me know if you want to try it i'll give you the exact amounts of each oil to make the concoction also very warm water with massage helps too

 

100hrs a week yeah thats alot you should drop down to 30-40hr besides nerve damage there are other health risks to gaming that are even much worse than your wrist hurting



                                                             

                                                                      Play Me

I remember gaming on my Genesis for so long one time that my right thumb lost all feeling and I had to pull it off the controller with my left hand.

That's the definition of a hardcore gamer!

Watch some anime, movies or go out with friends man. Mix your routine a bit!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Surely typing would be detrimental to your recovery?
