Gaming while sick

[NuclearPenguin]

Hah, me, stick with an avatar?
I doubt that very much. And im not famous enough here for people to care about my avatar.

Why not? it's not that difficult.

Yes, yes it is. I hate sticking with one avatar because as soon as I find another one I change.
Right now im contemplating changing my avatar into a zombie penguin.

At least it's slightly related...

Now it is a nuclear penguin. Look into its eyes.
Now stfu and stop giving me seizures!



[sub]Dont take the stfu seriously, you are my only source of entertainment[/sub]

Damn straight I'm your only source of entertainment!

also, I had to go do something, so I missed the penguin.

*sadface*

The penguin will then come to you.

Spoiler

That is AWESOME

I didnt like it. I miss my hunter avatar.

I dont know what the age group is here, but the OP obviously never experienced hangover gaming

+ lots of tea

I didnt like it. I miss my hunter avatar.

Then why not change it back, that's what I equate with you.

I dont play when im hungover, I drink more.

It's like my dad who responds to every physical complaint with "Go to bed early" and whines when I would sit on the compure whilst having said complaint. Yeah sure, tucking yourself in early after a hot shower helps nip a fever in the bud, but it doesn't do you much good against stomach cramps.

Anyway, I'm barely ever really ill enough to skip work anyway, and if I can work, I can play games.

My mum's pretty much like, if you can hold a console controller, or a joystick, or reach your keyboard/mouse you're well enough to go to school. I'm not even allowed TV. What blows is, I'm sick a lot and there's little I can do about it except lie there, bored out of my skull and in pain with nothing to distract myself. Badtimes.

 

[McPhale]

Yeah, my mom did that too. Anymore, I'll game if I just have a cold, but anything that involves throwing up, or bad headaches will generally keep me away from the controller.

 

[The Anhk24]

I don't believe this, if anything I game better when I'm sick...it keeps me on my toes

 

[logiman]

I`m always the top PVP`er..pwning noobs no matter the condition..<3 rogues

 

[Necrofudge]

Well, it could make your head hurt more if you own one of the TVs from the 1990s.

 

[ninjajoeman]

Now, I dont get sick often, actually, I dont get sick. Period.
But when I am home from school because im too tired, or have a headache or a hangover I tell my mom my stomache hurts or some simular excuse.
Now, she says that I shouldnt play games when im sick because itll make it worse..
I dont see the logic.
Seriously, where is the logic in gaming making your stomach hurt?

Anyway, whats your opinion on this?
Does anyone say simular things to you?

when sick, use boobs.
(insider joke, don't report me for it, I'm a very nice guy and play bass, you wouldn't report a bassist now would you)

yea that would be a hate crime!

*inside joke*

Depends how I'm sick.

If I feel like vomiting or have a really bad headache I won't even look at a screen.

 

[XIGBARx13]

Unless I have a really bad headache that staring at a TV screen would worsen, I can usually game when I'm sick. Or if I have something really bad like the flu or a stomach virus, then I'll just sleep.

"I don't think it's a good idea to stare at that while your head's sore"
Having come home with a sore head (The sort of sore head that at my current point of education I would simply moan and soldier through) I would nom down some pain killers and head for the computer or in later days, Wii. Be it lego island, some old point and click or in more recent years the likes of Mario Galaxy, a game will always make those painful hours less painful and less hourful.

 

[aaronmcc]

Unless you got a sore head and are planning on playing for 8+hrs then you game son!

 

[The Night Shade]

gaming while im sick makes me forget im sick

 

[e2density]

I do not play games when I am sick.
At least, not online. I was playing CS:S one time while my nose was clogged, asked a question and got a million "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE KID" responses because I could barely talk.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I usually don't like to game when I'm really sick, but I had H1N1 when Brutal Legend came out and nothing could stop me from playing it.

I find when my sinuses are acting up the light from the monitor (as the eyes and sinus are connected) starts to make my head feel weird and contested after several hours.
