Have you ever injured yourself while playing video games?

Nothing serious, just felt some pain on my hand, but that was because I played a lot

Not really

 

It's hard to get myself hurt 

Yes...WII remotes...I hit my sister upside the head with one once, almost sending her to the hospital...and then I keep hitting myself with them...and occasionally slamming my finger in my 3DS...

Frequently, yes. I get mad at games very easily, and since I'm not allowed to take my anger out on other people, it usually comes to me mashing the buttons too hard or hitting the floor. Or once, I forgot one of the walls in my room is made of brick and I ended up hitting that pretty hard.

Hell yeah lol I get pretty pissed when I'm playing video games and I'll tend to throw my controller against the ground. When I was younger I actually got so mad at myself that I purposely turned around and bounced my head off the wall.

Felt pain on my hand, but I can take that as my fault for playing for hours without a break (even with all the health and safety lessons we get on RSI)

 

I've also got eyestrain, but again not serious.  

 

My friends got pissed though before and threw a controller at a wall, that bounced back and conked him on the face.  The lols.  Other peoples pain is so funny.

If you've played the original Mega Man games, then you know how much rage they can produce at times

 

I think my hand just hurt a lot from the sheer amount of controller shaking and button mashing.

I cant use my hand (for 5-10 minutes) the psp is electriciti.

Take my advice children...

 

Just Dance with a group of friends may seem like fun BUT IT'S NOT

Kinda I guess. I can get very stressed sometimes, and I can take out on myself... but it's very rare, and nothing serious.

I once had a headache, but I was sick, so it wasn't really because of video games.

Yes, when I was 10, the Nintendo DS came out and I was playing the crap out of Mario 64 DS. I had to take a clothes basket down the steps to the laundry room and tried playing and doing the chore simultaneously. I set the DS on top of the clothes so that it was eyes level with me, but unfortunately, I tried to press a button, accidentally dropped it along with the DS, fell over the side of the steps onto the basement floor and landed on my wrist. I had a broken my left wrist and had to wear a cast for 6 months! ): The DS survived though!

Wikipedia says it best: In Mario Party, certain minigames required players to rotate the controller's analog stick, including one in which the player is challenged to wind up Fly-Guy at the minigame house. Some players got blisters and other hand injuries from rotating the analog stick using the palms of their hands instead of using their thumb. My hands hurt so very bad. Sephiroth in Kh1 crushed my spirit. Zubat's gave me a headache. The usual hand cramps from playing for too long, as well as facepalming from making a simple mistake and having to start over in many games.

 

Edit: forgot about wii elbow.

Recently I hit my head on the ceiling while playing kinect (the room with the xbox 360 in it has a low ceiling) and like 5 years ago my friend accidentally smacked me in the face with a wii remote while playing a naruto game.

 

 

Metal gear solid I started over on it so I could save Merryl but to do it I had to beat the tourture game. The biggest button masher ever. I literally had to wait until tomarrow because my figers felt sore from all of the button pushing

No. Try to avoid that without rage quit.

Yeah, whenever I die or fail in a video game, I always kick myself in the face as hard as I can.

Only if I get angry at them. And even those aren't exactly serious injuries.

My brother threw a dreamcast controller at my hand once. It hurt like a beee. But nothing serious.

Mostly blisters for me (especially back in the n64 days of rotating the control stick with your palm very fast for certain games), and a few sore wrists.

Plain and simple No.

My brother almost smacked himself with the Wii Nunchuck. Lol.

 

As for me, three words: Dance Dance Revolution

uh I straind my thumb/palm trying 2 beat super Mario 64 does that count?

Once I pinched a nerve after lying several hours on the floor on a mattress playing PS2 (is it called "pinched a nerve" or "nerve compression"?! ... I can't translate that into english ) ... I couldn't stand up and I had to call my mom, who was downstairs

Yes, hand cramps @.@ But they go away after a while...then come back again xDx

Yeah. It's normally when I get frustrated or mad *Cough* Starcraft 2 *Cough* or Minecraft. But mainly Starcraft.

Banging on the table or keyboard. Always fun... ^o^

Face palms, headaches, blisters, some pain in my hands, hitting myself on the table after losing, you know the usual
