Hurt my arm playing Wii...

[Locut0s]

Just got myself a Wii a couple of days ago!! Been playing Wii sports for several days, damn that game is addictive! Almost exclusively playing Tennis. Also just started playing Zelda Twilight Princes that I also got with the system. Anyway while playing Tennis I started to realize that if you really let loose and smacked the ball hard you could actually pull off smashes and low flying fast balls! Nice! Well after playing like this for about 6-8 Hours over several days by right arm is aching and is stiff as a broad. Haha guess I need the exercise. No I'm not complaining about the system. though, just curious, Anyone else get sore muscles playing Wii Sports or another Wii title.

Hmm after reading over that I just know I'm going to get a tone of jokes about 'fwaping'. Anyways.

Yeah I get sore after playing boxing. Throwing punches into air gets painful after a while for me at least.

Wow... sore after playing video games.

This country is going to be invaded by Canada. Mark my words. They won't even send their tank. They'll just march over, plant a flag and say "This is ours... what are you going to do about it?"

Americans will all look at them with sore Wii arms, unable to even raise their hands in surrender.....

repititious injuries are no joke. playing that kind of console for that time is very bad for the joints, especially since you are not use to it. muscle overuse syndrome, impingement and other issues all come to mind. i see nintendo being sued in a couple years, probably a class action, due to a ton of these type of injuries.

No doubt...

Bet you'll cut down on Wii when you can't spank the plank anymore...
