I've punched the TV screen in anger, headbutted a controller and kicked a desk.

I saw a news where Wii users reported that after playing for 3 days they sufered from elbowache, since the control is motion sensitive, in some games you have to move your elbow a lot and very fast, and if you are not used to it, in can create muscle soreness around your arm.

If original Nintendo users didnt, I dont Think so.

By the way, I used to move my controller so fast(it was not motion sesitive) that my Nintendo would fly to my knees.

Edit: my eyes are 20/20

The terms were with a computer game. you players are talking about other gaming systems. Playing with a computer I have multiple double slaped my computer tower, hit the computer mouse, slamed a chair multiple times and broke leg of that chair and elbow smashed the refridgerator. None of this was truely the fault of the game.

I have come to practise self mutilation, it saves alot of money when you are mad at the game, and also there is nothing like a sharp burst of pain to calm you down.

That is not the fault of the game. It is that four year old kid that can play the game better then you can.

LOL 😵

My hand hurts sometimes because I sit with it cramped all over the mouse when I play my Championship Manager and am losing 😕 but nowadays I don't lose so much anymore, and when I do I resort to cursing and screaming instead of hurting myself and destroying stuff. I decided that destroying stuff and inflicting pain to myself was ok during badminton only 😛
