smash you computer with a hammer...

Well I spent two and a quarter hours getting the Bank Robbery Champion title in the arcade and then I couldn't move my wrist for a few minutes hardly.

I know what you mean, I just don't know what to do as soon as I come off my PC.

Good advice. Any sort of exercise would be good.

I got bad knees, but I do try to get out of the house as much as I can. Go to Grandparents, Mall, Out to Eat,etc....

If you have been hurting your wrists, stop masturbating so much to internet porn.

But seriously, switch to something else that doesn't involve a mouse, such as TV. Two hours on the computer, one hour on the TV, and the rest into recreation. If you absolutely positively have to have the internet or gaming for long periods of time, buy a mousepad with an elevated wristguard, and invest in an ergonomic mouse, or trackball mouse.

Get a job.

Get a job.

That doesn't involve being stuck infront of a comp most the day.

Train your wrists and shoulders aswell, gives you time off and less problem if your playing/surfing.

Otherwise get another hobby of somekind.

Encourage your self to play more rather then stopping your self. That was you wont feel as bad if you do start playing. Reverse psychology!

Find some goal and work at it. Also go to sleep early and wake up early.

Get a job.

In all seriousness this is true. I got a job about 6 weeks ago and I have had much less time to kill on weekends. It has also made me appreciate my gaming time a lot more.

Hmmm usually you tend to get bored of games after a certain amount of time, especially if they are somewhat linear. You just have to start realizing that you really are doing the same things and moves over and over again and that it is kind of pointless.

That helps cutting down on games overall, for me anyway. Outside of that, just go to the college library. There you can't really game, though you can still surf the web for extended amounts of time (which is what I'm doing right now). Still, it feels better and is better for your wrist.

Getting a job of course would help too.
