the most physical and/or mental pain in your span as a gamer... i'm talking about actual PAIN, pain not stress pain... i.e. blisters, eye problems, carpel tunnel, paranoia, siezures... y'know stuff like that... I'm asking for a pure info gathering standpoint and to set the tone i'll go first:

KOF 2006 - has caused me more blisters on my thumbs than a kung-fu fight with a rose bush

Resident Evil 2 - has caused me to have misgivings of sight (seeing stuff), and nightmares

Zombies Ate My Neighbors - made my eyes water due to the fact that i didn't allow myself to blink while playing

... those are just a few of the ones i can actually remember... but i thought it would be interesting to ask a wider audience than just my circle of friends who share many of the same game related afflictions as me... so please do share watcha got...

Guilty Gear (can't remember which) - I couldn't play for more than 10 or 15 minutes without developing a blister.

The later stages of Silent Hill 4 caused me the most mental anguish. Not that it was a bad game, its just hard to describe unless you played it. Needless to say, I only played through the game once, and havn't wanted to again.

Eye strain from Touhou.

Sleep deprivation from Everquest.

Frustrated rage from Diablo 2.

Soul shattering emotional anguish from Tsukihime.

Skin irriation due to excessive fapping from Yume Miru Kusuri.

Various cuts and bruises from trying to skateboard after playing Tony Hawk.

Yea me too. I usually lost the top skin layer on my thumb because of Tony hawk pro skater. I went X square triangle in less than half a second. I had to stop playing like for a month until sking grew back. Oh and once i got so pissed at not being able to pass a level in 007 everything or nothing i kicked mi gamecube.

the suffering made me see things and freakout at the slightest noise because when you are playing it you'll just be running around and it's like a screamer video. a scary face or image appears with a startling noise just randomly pops up.

yepyep... i was at the mall owning in it (after playing it on PS2 allnite i'll admit) and like the 12th dude in line for ownage didnt seem to enjoy my Gambit, Spiral, and Venom combo getting 2 perfects on him in a row so... BLAM! sucker punch to the jaw!.. but my boyz were only two machines away (playin house of the dead 2) and they had my back til the rent-a-cops showed... and thats how i was banned from the GameWorks at circle centre mall... still totally owned him in 2 different situations... so i naturally think i came out on top that day... also to stay on topic Battlefront II has shaved atleast 3-4weeks off my already shortened life...

I think Mortal Kombat Dead Alliance caused a number to my fingers with all the test your might rounds! O.o I also recall really straining my thumb playing Streets of Rage on my Genesis with a controller that had shoddy registering on the attack button. I had a little imprint of letter on my thumb after a session with that game.

Playing the original Guitar Hero for about 10 hours a day for two weeks eff'd my eyes up pretty bad. But on the bright side I'm pretty sure my right arm (strumming arm) has increased in muscle-mass after a year of continous play.

During my first days of WoW, it wasn't uncommon to dream of the game. Sadly, no good loot dropped.

Guitar Hero 2. I broke 4 finger (2 on each hand) playing football. So when I get long sessions of GH2 my hand is in physical pain.

When I first start playing Guitar Hero, my left-hand fingers would start to hurt from fretting if I played too long. Pretty much all FPS games make me feel nauseous if I play for too long; I can't pin that down to one specific game. The original Resident Evil was quite scary at the time (zombies jumping out of closets, freaky FMV scenes, etc!). That's all I can think of right now.

The only game to really physically affect me would be Oblivion. The first time I played was at around 8 o'clock in the morning to about 12 o'clock the next day. The longest span of playing a game in my life (27 hrs). I had sleep depravation, a really bad headaceand I burned my eyes out (needed new perscription lens). :o

My wrists and knuckles would start hurting me while playing Guitar Hero 2. I had to take breaks in the middle of some songs just so I could finish them.

Couldn't figure out what to do in a certain spot on Soldier of Fortune. It was a fairlysmall area and I was looking up, down, left, right while running around for some clue as to where to go. After 15 minutes I suddenly realized I feltfairly nauseous.Only time that has happened to me in an FPS.

Any Atari 7800 game hurt my fingers. The controller was just not user friendly at all.

The Genesis WWF games would wear out your hand too. Too much tapping of the buttons really fast to win a grapple. Thank goodness modern wrestling games do not require you to do this.

I think I also got very mentally worked up from some fighting game bosses such as Jinpachi in Tekken 5 and Shang Tsung in MK1.

Mario Party 1&2 was the worst. I tore 2 layers of skin on my palm playing tug o' war. My thumbs started to get indents in them and bruised after I played Gran Turismo 4 for to long. I eventually switched to R1 and L1 for Accelerate and Brake.

I hear that, I got a huge blood blister on my hand from those damn rotating sticks games where you have to spin the stick as fast as you can. I found I did this best by using the palm of my hand and spinning that sucker around but it hurt like hell in the end.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned any Wii mini-games yet. Rayman Raving Rabbids, Wii Sports Boxing, and certain microgames from WarioWare have caused me actual full-body fatique.

Then there's the cramps you get from any game that has you continually rotating the analog stick, and of course just regular eye strain from playing a game too long, too intently, too late at night and in too dark a room.

How could I forget GT on my PS2. The endurance races were actually okay, but those short races where you have the last lap neck and neck would practically snap my thumb.
