Wii-itis
 

Anyone else watch Bizarre ER? (BBC3)

Anyway, many gamers will know gaming can cause injuries and RSI's but apparently a doctor has diagnosed a case of 'wiiitis' to someone with severe joint injuries from playing the Wii. Games consoles, especially the Wii, are a cause for concern. I'm sure you've all seen the Wii and can understand why. I have one and was in agony for days after a bout on boxing :shocked: I've never had such a work out!! :laugh:

Anyone else had or know of anyone with 'game pain' ?? Funnies and wii-motes flung through windows by accident welcome :D

I don't like the games that are too strenuous, so I've never been hurt thankfully.

I've woken up after playing boxing on the Wii as if I've literally been kicked from head to foot :shocked: Thankfully once you get used to it it stops happening. Some work-out though

Yeah the boxing games are agonizing :'(

I tried boxing once it takes too much energy.

Funny though. To watch people on them lol. People wet themselves when I play as I really go for it :blush:

I much prefer ten pin bowling.

I like that sometimes. Have you used the balance board?

I remember getting the eyetoy one christmas, and I did boxing like 50 times and on boxing day i couldnt like move.

No, not tried one of those yet. Heard they are good though.

the most strenuous wii game is silent hill shattered memories its a scare and a workout in one lol

Yeah you don't realise at the time but the next day you're as seized as a board :laugh:

Not tried that one :D

On Christmas morning a few years ago, I was playing Cooking Mama for the Wii.

Love that game.

And there was a part where you have to crack the eggs or somthing.

And I was trying to do it and they kept breaking so I kept hitting them harder just because the 'Mama' in the game kept pissing me off.

And then I didnt have the Wii Remote Strapped on, so I titled (Through it) to the side to crack and egg and it went flying over to the Christmas Tree.





Similar situation happened in Summer, I was playing Tennis and obviously the controls are abit diffrent instead of tilting the remote you have to aim it forward and that.


So I went to hit the ball and the Wii Remote literally flew out of my hand and hit the TV.

I was so scared because I thought it broke, it was okay though but the noise that remote made when it hit the TV was shocking LOL

tis really scary you should get it

:shocked: You're lucky ! :D

I know they have straps and stuff but I bet a fair few remotes have gone through TV's and windows before now...

I like the arm ache from playing tennis.

You know just because it's called boxing day, it doesn't mean you have to box all day :tongue:

I hardly use mine, I have a ski game for it. It just seems like hassel to set it up, so I don't bother :hugesmile:

The thing is that with the Wii you don't need to do the motions so strenously, smaller motions do the job just fine. Unless you're playing Wii Fit which defies the point if you don't do it properly :laugh:

does anybody actually use those straps anymore lol

:laugh2: Patrick

I wanted to get that, but the store didn't have it so I got a dumb game Cate West Vanishing Files.

my parents thought i had been murdered or something when i was playing it once. it was really late and i couldnt sleep so i started playing it and turned the sound down so i didnt wake anybody up then a freaky monster thing jumped out at me and i screamed lol

LOL

True, I use to get so into it but now a days I just sit there lieing on the sofa with the remote and tilt it slightly when infact I should be up jumping about the living room :joker:

It takes the fun out of it though I suppose :(

I know you don't have to actually do the motions but it's bloody boring if you don't :D Part of the fun is actively playing it

I wonder if casualty numbers were up from 'wii remote in the mouth' injuries on Xmas day .....
