My brother goes into aggressive rages whenever he hears game music that I'd define as cute or relaxing.

Now in his mid-forties and still unusual Hubert had learnt many important things, when he was young... ...most importantly, that sanity is a compromise.

I have a psychological reaction to WoW similar to what some people have to alcohol: I hate it, but somehow I end up playing.
Well, I quit it! (For the 3rd time :D )

When me and my friends got halo 3 we played it for so many days in a row. I am pretty sure I have never played videogames constantly for so long. The odd thing about it was that I got a headache that only appeared when I was not looking at the screen. So I had to keep playing.
Also, when playing YMM's an untitled story, I sometimes got into a state of psychological agony and rage. I think I cried a little blood at one point.

Anyone here having psychic problems with games? I can't play Cavestory without getting in rage and/or destroying something. No idea why. It's the only game I know where it happens.
I assume you mean the more frustrating parts, or do you smash stuff just playing the game in general?  I smashed up a couple of keyboards playing battlefield 2 way back (fuck those damn badges). In retrospect i noted how silly that was, and now I'm totally zen whenever i play games. (I also tend to avoid competitive multiplayer games, unless it's a healthy game of DEFCON) |

I remember Spyro: The Dragon game. I've never played that game.
Just watching it gave me horrible motion sickness.
Other than that, nothing.

When I get a new game, I play it. And I forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom and alter my posture. Once I even forgot I was ill, until the world started spinning and I felt nauseous, and was forced to quit in utter disorientation. I could see how that might be a health concern to some... to me, it's just training my body to withstand even more gaming xP

I often get dizzy when I start playing first-person 3D games after a long period of not playing them. This only happens on PC games, probably because of the screen proximity and it's just the first five minutes until my eyes get used to it.
Also, I once went to one of those huge LAN parties playing games and whatnot, which meant that in the first days I was staring into my screen for 40 hours straight with no sleep whatsoever. My eyes became so numb that they just stopped focusing, and I mean no focus at all, I could only see blur. This scared the shit out of me as I struggled to focus my eyes, thus I rushed into bed for a good night sleep. Luckily when I woke up everything was alright again.
Besides that it's just the obvious thumb problem with controllers in intense games.

Gaming? Maybe I game too little. But pixeling for a longer time often results in eye and spine troubles ...

Just an occasional twitching eyelid (  ), bad posture and fingers hurting like hell after I started playing Frets on Fire. Guitar Hero on a controller was child's play after that. |

More an injury than a health issue, but as a kid I proudly wore the middle-of-palm blister from playing Mario Party. Lost more than one 64 controller that way too...

I remember discovering that I could spin faster with my palm instead of my thumb and just ripping off a chunk of skin that way.  |

I've just recently discovered that this was actually an issue. I've been playing the heck out of Mario Party, using the palm and all, but it never resulted in any injuries. |

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are the only 2 games that make me nauseous after playing them.

I got really motion sick playing Black Shades. But not so much that I actually puked. Also, if I don't, like, warm up before playing Wii Sports my arms ache for a couple of days. I guess because it's the only time during a typical month that I flail my arms around like the ghost of a drowning sailor. |
