Play Wii for MC!

Just read an article on yahoo news on a new ailment published in the New England Journal of Medicine called "Wiiitis" (wee-eye-tis). Symptoms include sore arms and shoulders as a result of playing long hours without resting.

Similar to strenuous exercises, stretching is very important for long hours of gaming. Warming up before game play and warming down after ought to prevent muscle strains and sores. Plus, taking breaks to stretch your fingers and rotate your wrists should reduce cramping especially when you've got your hands grasping that controller for hours on end.

As a gamer myself, that's my two cents worth.
