More often than not, I figure my myopia was gradually caused by frequent gaming.

Mess up my vision, I still play games! >(

Just a minor headache if I play for REALLY long....we're talking long people.

11-05-2003, 04:50 PM

After playing a single game all day long, I won't be able to sleep because I'm still playing in my mind. This only happens when I play for extremely long periods of time.

My butt gets sore if I sit down to play them for more than 2 hours at once. That's about it.

Nothing serious... forgetting to eat when fully engrossed sometimes. Affects blood-sugar levels making me light-headed.

11-06-2003, 06:00 PM

Uhhhhh... nothing I can think of. I always take enough food with me to keep me happy or pause the game to get some

11-06-2003, 07:29 PM

I used to pull frequent all-nighters playing Ultima Online in college. That wasn't good for me (or my grades) the next day for sure.

Only minor headaches. Although on Business class in Singapore airlines they have NESes that you can play. I got a really bad headache that time from playing Mario too much, but I think that's about it.

And the same thing that happened to Rayman Freak happened to me a long time ago, although only once as far as I can recall. That was with Age of Empires. And believe me, you don't want AoE stuck in your head when you're trying to sleep. Bad. Baaaaaaaaad.

^I once played a massive game with my friend over MSN late at night. Honestly, I just kept replaying the game in my head over and over and over and over.....

11-07-2003, 04:27 PM

Nope. I always limit my playing time (3 straight is completely reasonable)and while playing DDR, I'm already in great physical shape and I drink plenty of water so it's no big deal.

11-07-2003, 05:39 PM

Nothing major maybe a minor headach if I play to long.

imported_Parrakarry · 11-08-2003, 08:06 AM

Not really... I usually take water with me when I go to play games, just because I drink water all the time, so it's not that big of a deal. If I get hungry, I go grab a pop-tart or something. However, if I'm up all night playing something *coughhalflifecough*, I get it stuck in my head as well... not good for sleep.

Godot · 11-08-2003, 09:08 AM

Oh, and it somehow makes me have quicker relex and for some reason, it can boost my grades up...o.o;

11-08-2003, 12:38 PM

I've never had very long periods of playing. I might have, with like AoE or something of the sort. But I've never really been affected negatively anyway.

Nothing aside from a small headache.. doesn't happen often at all.

11-09-2003, 10:07 PM

If you include a muscle in my thumb. Yes, I have an acctual muscle in my thumb from playing too much one night.*is 13 and has been playing since was 1and a half.*I had a muscle cramp and we went to the doctor. It was acctually pretty funny.

Well, I got a blister from beating the Pedal Power thing on Mini-Game Island in Mario Party 1. (But I did beat the whole thing,a nd the blister healed, so hey, it was worth it)
