Poll: Gaming While Sick

[CloakedOne]

as far as I know, I'm pretty much the same healthy or sick while gaming

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

The only things I have when I'm sick are rest, books, games and TV.

It sucks when I have a cold that has headaches, as they prevent books and games and TV.

But normally I just game whenever, sick or not.

Depends.. if im coughing or have a sore throat I usually don't because I don't think my teammates or anyone online want to hear coughing every 10 secounds so no Mulitplayer but single player...yeah of course.

 

[Malcheior Sveth]

I tend to play worse when sick, but what else is there to do when you're lying on the couch trying not to feel terrible? I spend the whole day gaming and reading and sleeping when sick.

 

[Zildjin81]

I'm usually busy you know, being sick.

 

[Julianking93]

Unless I'm truly ill, nothing's gonna stop me from gaming.

I haven't been sick in almost 3 years and even when I do get sick, it was minor, so its really no big deal.

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Depends on how sick I am and what I am trying to play. I definitely wouldn't be as good at something like Rock Band. Something not involving hand-eye coordination like that; I wouldn't have a problem with.

 

[IxionIndustries]

I can't really play games when I'm sick.. All the sneezing and shit distracts me.

So normally I go and veg out on the couch.

If I feel unwell my ability to play games like shooters goes down considerably - my concentration and reflexes go to hell. A nice relaxing RPG like Final Fantasy or even Pokemon, however, would go down a treat.

 

[Shadeovblack]

If I'm sick, then I'm REALLY sick. Only the strongest of diseases get me, so I tend to stay in bed.

 

[Rational-Delirium]

Normally I can, but I was recently so sick that anything I looked at looked like something else. For example, the Latin I was trying to translate for class started to swim and look like Greek. Only then can I not play. Anything else is fine.

 

[Icehearted]

Definitely depends on the game and the amount of experience I have with it. Pain is distracting, and noisy flashing shooters or fighters are had on my eyes/head when I'm ill.

 

[orangebandguy]

I always play videogames when I'm off sick. Helps pass the time.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

For me, more or less, disease is the best reason to sit behind my pc and waste hours of my life

 

[GodofDisaster]

If I can move well enough to function my own thumbs and fingers, then yes I will play a game when I'm sick.

 

[DoctorWhat]

It depends on the game... Run 'n' gun games are fine, but anything where you have to think about what you're doing is not so great. It's not much worse, but it's still noticeable (sp?).

 

[Thegoodfriar]

I think a fourth option "It depends on the illness" option should be there. Because projectile vomiting does definately throw me off my game.

 

[Eggsnham]

In a game like COD I can't play for shit if I'm sick, however, a nice and relaxed game like SKATE or Oblivion are doable, maybe Fallout 3.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

I don't think I play as well, but I play nonetheless..

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

try gaming while drunk, a little self induced of everything you described plus the room is spinning

It's even better high...So I've heard
