Random Gamer Silliness

Chocobo Rage! I love it.

I tend to be patient of L337 speak if I'm in a good mood and it's mostly readible without thinking about it. The moment I have to start cessing out what your saying though we stop playing nice and I get real rude real fast.

It's not bad anymore. When Warcraft started it was the only way people cross realm could talk to each other.

I spent a fun day in Ratchet as a Night Elf maiden doing fishing when a Tauren gentleman wanted to let me know he though I was cute.

It's gone the way of the valley girl mostly. Now everybody texts so it's just texting shorthand. Only Warcraft still has an only roleplay server, I don't even see the option in Final Fantasy. EQ2 has one huge roleplay server, but I picked the other one and it merged with a bunch of humorless ragequit assholes.

Dear gods I miss good roll play. It's near impossible to find these days. I remember back when there were chat rooms for RPers so goddamned elite that just getting in meant you were a fucking somebody.

Yeah, I miss it a lot. In a lot of ways the text game possibilities where you could build your own text realms and objects and spells were pretty damned cool, and there were lots of smart people playing.

It's prettier now and funnier, but not as smart. That's a loss.

Yeah, and I'm generally enough of a graphics whore to try and deny it. I like my pretty pictures. (and to be fair for a while I had found a pretty damn good WWE Role Playfed that was based around one guy who would record our matches once a week. It was a blast even if it didn't last when the new version of the game came out.

I have slowly over time become more and more picky of my graphics.

When they first started they were so obviously bad...then they became seamless and I forget they're anything other than art. If I can see the seams and the bumps, it just makes me feel someone isn't trying hard enough.

"Why does my sword bisect me every time my horse goes forward? I shouldn't have to think about clip planes right now, I'm on a majestic beast that...seems to absorb my knees. Oh come on guys."

I hover back and forth. But like you I was a lot more forgiving when I was younger. I remember marveling just seven or eight years ago at Twilight Princess and the fact that Link was actually standing on steps. It wasn't a ramp painted to look like steps and he wasn't hanging at all in a weird position. He had one foot on each step. Hell the little punk kept adjusting when I tried to make him take a half step because he had to be fully on the stairs. Now when I see a tree that's actually four or eight disks put together like a snowflake I'm all "You punks!" Especially in my FPS and Fighting games. I can be rather forgiving of some things like the incredibly rediculous poses dead folks sometimes end up in when you have rag doll physics (or when they can't seem to stop falling) .

Shit I'm terrible though, sometimes I wander off and just start fishing.

Dude, remember in TR 3 Lara left footprints? That shit blew my mind.

Speaking of Twilight Princess and games that do this- I had to stop playing Skyward Sword after that skeletal pirate boss because of this. I could hear my wrist crunching and I think I fucked up my shoulder. I got WAY too into that game.

ya. I fucked up my arm once in a high stakes game of wii bowling once

Ouch. I have no actual gaming injuries. I occasionally had breathing difficulty from laughing really hard but that doesn't meet the criteria of asthma.

But at least the TV survived.

Seriously, that swinging my own sword thing killed me in boss battles. I woulda been the worst Skyloftian Knight ever. I'd be that dude trying to exercise begging you to go get me some steroids because unless you do I am just fucked.

Given that I'm unable to get my own for... some reason.

Ya but if you were a warrior you would be training from like 4 or 5. You'd be all beefy and shit now

Surprised I missed this gamer thread!

Only game injury I ever had was gotten by using a joystick on my old commodore Amiga 500. The joystick was shaped like giver's alien, it looked damn cool but was hell to use.

After the first time of using it I ended up with a very sore palm where the exoskeleton had dug in, had to lay off for a couple of days to give it time to heal. After that the joystick was for show rather than use.


Nowadays I usually play for far too long and realise I have missed a meal or two, though my Nord warrior in Skyrim has eaten well.

I might be wrong. I think playing Farmville exacerbated some repetition injury in my right index finger, so now I left click with my middle finger, moved one finger over on the mouse and stopped playing Farmville.

As long as problems have solutions!

Welcome!

I've tore up my knuckles on games where you had to rapidly push two buttons in succession. Had tender palms from spinning thumbsticks as well

I suppose eye strain could class as an injury. Squinting for long hours through point and click adventures a la monkey island trying to see if that 16bit stone is something that is meant to be picked up and if so can it be used with the monkey hand I collected earlier.

 

[CandiCame]

I honestly don't know how but I've beat my right wrist to shit and the doctors think it's from gaming. I can't have it properly looked at until the insurance kicks in next month, but sometimes it'll just suddenly stop working. And sometimes I'll be holding shit when it does. And that sucks. Because I just drop it. And... I really don't wanna do that with any part of a baby.

Guitar Hero did a number on my pinky. Owie.

Probably malnutrition.

When I was in my "play games all night" phase I'd go to the microwave to make breakfast and find my dinner that I'd put in last night and never picked up.

I got a bad blister from my first time playing Mario Party. I have no idea how long I played but that hurt fucking bad.

I played Wii Boxing when it first came out until my arms were sore as shit. Not an injury but something is wrong when you wake up in the morning stretch, wince and remember, oh yeah. I knocked that fucker straight the hell out.

My friend built a Dance Dance Revolution board (well purchased one and built a wood and metal frame around it so it was anchored enough that you didn't have to tip toe on it to keep it from sliding around beneath you)and. . .yeah. Same deal next morning my thighs and my lower back were killing me. And I had an odd facination with J-Pop that never quite went away.

It's rare that I play all night anymore, but when I do I usually hve a tag team partner. Either way that's when we buy all that slim fast bullshit and other meals you can eat through a straw.

Holy fuck Dance Dance is the SHIT man. I play fucking Just Dance every day. But Dance Dance... damn that was my childhood. Me & my friend Trav were fucking awesome at Dance Dance. Ah, memories.
