I got sore thumbs when I first got an NES. And I've injured my foot/toe/legs from too much DDR |

Back when the SNES was pretty new, my thumbs would die from the way I'd death-grip the controller, I wouldn't be able to adequately apply pressure to anything without pain for a while. Now I've either gotten resistant to it, or I just don't death-grip the controller anymore. I find the former more likely. I never really had problems with the NES for some reason, it was just the SNES that killed me. ____________________ There are things I want to put here. Like a cool picture, my 8-bit theatre character test result, my MS and RO characters... But it's 12 AM, and I'm sleepy. |

Posted by Cirvante Oh god, that was a failure in control schemes. Worst idea ever. My palms were raw meat when I played that game a ton. Good thing Nintendo realized that that wasn't good so they instead made games where you mash you fingers pressing A as fast as possible. Speaking of mashing, has anyone beaten the cloud race against the canary in Banjo-Tooie? To this day I still haven't beaten her. My fingers just can't push A fast enough to win. I've deemed it impossible for me at least without the use of a turbo controller. ____________________ |

Posted by FirePhoenix0I am the undisputed master at mashing the A button . I use both thumbs alternately for about 2.4x speed. 4 sec in Pokey Pummel in MP7.Posted by Cirvante ____________________ |

Mario Party 1. God, I remember a controll stick physically exploding because of rotating it so much. I'm not even kidding, I can take pictures of the remains even. Springs popped out and everything, it was pretty hillarious ;x the whole stick unit just popped appart all over the place. |

NES: Flat Thumbs
SNES: Same N64: Control stick mini games of Mario Party 1. Enough said Gamecube: None, haven't played it enough. PS2: 2 controllers spiked on rug, on top of hardwood. Guitar Hero: Not really an injury, but my biceps and triceps have gotten bigger from playing. As far as injuries, see this video! I know, some are thinking, "Hard, big deal!" But expert is too overrated. |

Sewing thumbs. Otherwise, not much past I've had my own share of wear from Cappy vs. SNK though. |

My thumbs and index fingers would often kill me on the old NES. Index fingers because I would switch to them after my thumbs started to hurt too much.
I play mostly on keyboard now though, and newer consoles don't hurt my digits nearly as much, so I don't really get any pains from playing now. Now, injuries from playing songs on the piano? I can tell lots about those. |

Posted by Anya Oh, take it up with Joel Zumaya. (The fact that they put that into the game is the greatest thing ever.) |

Don't stand too close to your opponent while playing Wii boxing. I've cracked a friend in the head by accident and vice-versa. I got bored of Guitar Hero after about an hour, probably because I have played the real thing for 18 years. |

Posted by Cirvante Second this... except during rotating parts, I'd use the middle of my palm... which was a much more painful area to get a blister. ____________________ |

Posted by GywallxD I remember trying snaking, but my fingers got way too tired too fast. :/ I did hurt my hand on the minigames from mario party 1. xD And truth to be told I didn't even own the darned game, I was playing at a friend. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org
