    I get joint pain in my legs and shoulders occasionally but almost never in my fingers and hands. Growing up using a computer and playing games has increased my dexterity rather than killed my joints I think. #research

    This news is actually not particularly surprising, considering I woke up yesterday with a really painful shoulder after a hefty Halo/Gears sesh with some mates the night before. #research

    So gripping a controller or hand held and pressing buttons that require your fingers to close and open rapidly sometimes makes them hurt over time..shocking. Thank god we have professionals to tell us this.

    Play through the pain that boss won't beat itself. #research

    Of course there's a correlation between extended use of your hands and pain in you hands...

    Is this really... I mean, why would one even bother making a study about that? #research

    It seems like a lot of people are missing a few things about this article. A fifth-grader decided to do this study. They mention that it's just correlated, they couldn't really point out a reason. They suggest it's because their muscles and tendons are developing. It's not some big attack on games. #research

    This study is highly, highly unscientific. Where's the control group?
    Why is it only one group of students, in one school, in one age group and area?
    Frankly, I don't care how cute a little kid pretending to be a scientist is, a lousy study is a lousy study, regardless of everything else. #research

    @Ad-hominem: Gotta agree. Although the connections they're proposing seem plausible, their methodology is pretty shoddy.

    Remember people, good science does it's best to eliminate random elements while striving to be as reproducible as possible. #research

    I've been playing games since I was 9, and I haven't had any real joint pain to speak of, especially from playing video games. If I ever do have some, I'll suck it up and take a tylenol. #research

    I propose we ban all those stupid ad pictures of people/kids gaming and stick with that photo collection of people actually playing games. Until that came out I never really noticed how annoying those ads were.
