So thus far, we've got the following...

1 confirmed case of soiled pants from gaming

1 confirmed case that it might have happened because they were on medication

about a half dozen people who say it might have happened to them, but they are not sure

and 2 people who had sex while gaming

It only proves what our parents used to tell us... video games will overtake your life.

O_o never happened as far as I'm concerned

Ewww.

No.. you can always pause your game.

I looked back through, and I don't anyone saying that remotely...

Ok, I'll break it down for you...

Phoenix_Wiight: "ive played so long that I had to crap/piss really bad, but I always went to the bathroom, as long as there was a pause button"

Commentary: Which leaves us to the unexplained of what happened to his underwear when he didn't have a pause button.

vonboy: "i don't think i ever have actually."

Commentary: Like I said, some people are not sure, but they think they haven't crapped their pants while playing.

megaman 79: "Comrade, there ARE some pretty powerful drugs out there. Myself i thought at one point that i had soiled the pot. I was wrong fortunately"

Commentary: One guy didn't soil himself, but the drugs made him think he did.

darkhaven63: "never happened as far as I'm concerned"

Commentary: What does that really mean?  This person is in denial that it did happen?  Or no one else was around to know, so it, uh, never happened?"

Absolutely not. That's pretty disturbing. Just simply pause the game and step away from the controller.

This situation normally affects WoW or Everquest players. The addictive nature of these games, combined with the lack of a pause button can sometime lead to situations where normal hygiene routines are ignored. Sometimes the game does not allow for restroom breaks, and you have to improvise. They call it "poopsocking" for obvious reasons.

HAHAHA, that's awesome.  It's more likely to be bladder failure or colon cancer if you try to hold it in I suppose.

I think I did it when I was a few years old... Not in at least 14 years, though o.O

Disturbing thread...
