People joke that playing too much video games gives you blisters on your fingers. But has it actually happened? If so, in what game, and why? I know i have.
Game : The Legend of Zelda : The Wind Waker
Finger Blistered : Left index finger
Reason : Repedatly holding the L trigger for L-Targeting while fighting the training guy to try and score over 300 hits on him.

Only one game has ever done that to me.
Duck Hunt. Thank you rough plastic trigger on the NES gun.

The only game that has done that to me was Galaga for Atari 7800. I never got blistered from any other games, especially not Wind Waker. I got pretty high score in that training, but gave up cause it got boring.  |

I don't got no blisters.. my thumbs got more muscle then my arms. Wow, must look really weird then.  I need to work on my thumb muscles more. I injured both of them a few times at work. They're pretty weak. |

Any playstation game I play for a long time really makes my hand go red and I cannot grip stuff for a while.

That's pretty hardcore, Ducttape. You have some stamina. I got blisters when playing button-mashers like Primal Rage. |

Primal Rage may be a button masher, but it kicks ass |

When you got high or drunk try to move your fingers very fast. You can't.
Anyways, I don't remember having any prob with my hand muscles.
