Ouch...can video games really hurt ...physically?

This did not happen to me nor was I there to begin with but a friend of mine told me the story. He was watching this other dude play NHL [insert number here] and the guy lost to his most hated team. Well, more liked got totally crushed by them. Anyway, he went on to shout profanities from the top of his lungs, started punching his PS2 and threw the whole thing on the ground. Talk about crazy. Funny thing was that the console survived all that, although it got louder.

I think they give some people seizures, so that's physically hurting someone.

Lot's of things do. That's why there's that seizure warning in so many games nowadays.

I used to get this really painful pain on my right wrist. Or was it the
left... Hmm. Anyway, it occured twice a month it was when I would
not be able to swirve my hand and if I accidentally did it would
hurt enough to make me cry. That was due to tensing them too much while
playing DMC and COD.

My hands got hurt when im playing DMC too. I guess its normal when you want to get a SS Rank.

I've recently noticed that the corner of my 3DS starts digging into my right palm after a while of play.


@Meth: Could that have been carpal tunnel syndrome?

Could be, I can not be bothered to look it up on this poxy phone
