Ever get injured playing Mass Effect?

My pneumothorax manifested as I was playing ME3 in 2015 summer. I still remember that game. I was playing with Sumarizook, a non-BSN friend on Ghost as BW Drell Assassin. I was in the door of the building which is right against the starting position when I felt sudden pain in my lungs as one of the bubbles popped on the top of my right side lung. After the game I went to the hospital. After they fixed me I chose not to undergo surgery as the next semester was about to begin and I didn't want to miss out.
Half a year later, one day before the first day of the exam period, it happened again. I was already preparing for 2 weeks for the hardest exam of the semester so I told my mother that I will do the exam before going to the hospital. I went to sleep, woke up in the morning, rode the train to the university. Got an A+ in Biochemistry 2 with a half collapsed lung (badassest thing I've ever done) and then went back home and into the hospital. This time I did undergo the surgery so the issue on my lung has been fixed permanently.
I was just browsing and got a sudden urge to share this story as I've only told a couple of my online friends before.

Not me personally but my equipment did... I have a cute but very troublemaking puppy and he loves to chew my stuff to dead! Several times has he ruined my expensive equipment, gaming equipment and several headsets, one time while I was playing mp and chatting, I suddenly got cut off, I was playing with Evn, Fuenf and Xan and they were talking to me and couldn't understand why I stopped replying all of a sudden. I tried everything, pressed the mic button, reloaded my PS3 but nothing helped. Then suddenly I saw that the cable had been chewed over, I had it hooked on to my PS3 from the living room to my bedroom at the time so it wasn't obvious at first glance, my puppy had chewed the damn wire over again, third expensive headset he destroyed in a row lol.

Don't mean to sound preachy, but you shouldn't support cheap products. There's an overflow of cheap junk out there because too many blindly support them. Down to the food we eat. Buying cheap is also usually lose, lose (ie. cheap toilet paper lasts less and scratches your ass). Us consumers need to get better informed.


As for your back. You could play videogames from the comfort of lying in your own bed like I do. Just need 3 pillows or so behind you head, keyboard/gamepads/TV remote/Turtle Beach headset at your side, and both HDTV + Monitor at your feet.

But if you really want to remove lower back pain, consider doing some abdominal training to help support and keep the lumbar curve and spine stable. Bruce Lee said it best;

Guess good thing my headset is wireless then.

And nice story.

Also makes me wonder...of all the platform/console wars, has it been established which platform has the "best" drinkers?

As a multi-platform non-drinker and after independent observation, I think can say with certitude:
If any platform thinks they can out-drink the Ecks Bawks crew, they're wrong.
