PS3 injuries!

turpz · #1 (**permalink**) 25-04-2007, 04:34 PM

Ok , ive been having a wee break from gaming of late and i was wondering if any of you lot had any health complaints or injuries due to all the prolonged gaming over that last month? My left thumb was really sore and is clearing up due to the rest. Maybe pressing and mashing 2 hard while on MS i dunno. Also Sleep deprivation. Ive been trying to hydrate and manage but not getting enough kip is very bad, and thats coming from a young father!

sleep deprivation is what gets me. if only i could put down the controller at a sensible time, but nooooooo. just one more round/level and so on until the wee hours.

but thats it so far, never got those square eyes my grannny said i would have from watching a tv screen for so long!

well i have not yet had any injuries or so from my ps3. Cos i cant go on there all day, due to college and my daily bike excersise. BUT i am having a gaming weekend this friday until sunday with non stop gaming. Should be fun and should make me very tired.

well tom all i can say is that it wouldnt have happened if you had been correctly blitzing the ps2 instead of having a crap barbeque :lol: :lol:

p.s barbeques are one of the best things ever btw (but @ the right times if you know what i mean)

It was my own fault really having a barbecue in the middle off november missed out on near a week of ssx and smugglers run when it healed i played non stop to make up i suppose thats why im on my third ps2 although the current one has been relegated to the shed to make way for my shiny new obsession

to tell the truth, i remember the day GTA:SA was released, we bought the game that day and got home in mad anticipation. put the cd in the ps2 (the big blocky one) and all we got was click....click......psshhhhh. then a small click and that was the last of it! :lol: tried every other game, it wouldnt read them!! we shot back to game in the car and had to buy the slim one!! aaahhh now its sitting on the shelf below the almighty one looking sorry for itself aaaawwwww

p.s i still think it was sonys idea for the original ps2 to bite the dust cos the slim ps2 had only been out a month or so

I think you could be on to something there bud could turn out to be the most important conspiracy of all time explains why sony sold so many and continue to do so

Surely it'd be rectangular now what with Wide Screen and everything.

My right thumb is sore. I find the controller a little too small and end up bending it in a funny angle to get at the X button.

well if you were a hardcore gamer, you wouldnt rly care about getting a sore thumb

If I play too much during the evening, combination of tiredness and headaches are a bi@tch!
