I have realized over the course of time and a lot of gaming that all my years of playing videos has actually begun to affect me physically. No I am not becoming retarded or blind, but instead I think I am developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my hands, specifically my left hand. This is probably due to the years of playing on a PC with my fingers precariously hovering over the WASD keys to circle and strafe in Quake and move around in Starcraft.
I noticed now that if I play with my PSP or DS for more than thirty minutes my hand begins to feel uncomfortable and if I play Guitar Hero or Rock Band for too long it is even worse. I would have never thought that gaming and using a PC would mess me up, but here I am. Carpal Tunnel stinks, it makes your hand numb and you feel pain that is just not fun. It probably does not help that I spend almost all day on a PC typing and doing things like writing articles.
