LOL, if it isn't Tennis elbow, maybe it is Wii-itis. Damn, does that sound really bad or what

I saw that and my first thought was rediculous. I played tennis for over 4 years and never got tennis elbow. I dont see how peopl playing a video game which is close but not close enough to real life can hurt themselves.

Some people just get too into it and must over do their swings.

After a few hours of Wii Tennis I've had a sore arm, but never so bad that I would go see a Dr.

 

[avaserfi]

A sore arm is completely different from tennis elbow. It is caused by poor form and twisting of the wrist too much when hitting the ball. Sore arms after any sort of long term movement like that is normal.

Those people get sore arms because they are using muscles they've never really used as couch potatoes...

I have Motorstorm thumb


I did not choose that title!! It was bestowed upon me. I liked it better when I was a Samurai

 

[avaserfi]

Should have kept up your volume control training kimosabe, then you would be strong like samurai not weak like potato.

I remember reading somewhere about a Major League pitcher that was ordered by his team to stop playing Guitar Hero because it was giving him Carpal Tunnel-like symptoms and affecting his pitching.

Heck yeah, if you play on the advanced modes, it definitley makes my left hand hurt.

I honestly don't get the draw of guitar hero. I tried it and its just not for me. I mean if I wanted to play guitar I would...

It is fun, but man does it get old fast. I got it as a gift.

Yeah, I had to give up on Expert mode. I couldn't get past Cowboys From Hell.

I love it. I still pick it up and play every once in a while. My wife even likes it. I had to buy a 2nd controller for her. She kicks my *** sometimes. She used to play piano, so she's good at nailing fast hammer-on's.

I guess it just satisfies that inner need to pretend to be a rock star.

Dude, Ninja Gaiden demo...I can't even get half way through on Very Hard.

 

[avaserfi]

Ninja gaiden is a game that requires a commitment to beat. Its just like the originals and thats why I love it
