First I installed AntiRSI after reading about it on jwz’s blog, then a friend brought up how he was about to play God of War, and it dawned on me that God of War represents a genre I probably should never play again.

I don’t think I could stuff enough glucosamine and chondroitin into my body to be able to justify the risk versus the reward for playing God of War.

So what else should I probably avoid playing?

  • Most PC games that use kb/mouse
  • Anything else like God of War with moments of huge button tapping.
  • Typing of the Dead :-(
  • Diablo
  • Command and Conquer 3′s kind of speedy RTS

And I’ll probably go buy whatever Microsoft Natural keyboard they’ll sell me at fry’s, a good wrist brace, and maybe order some joint juice plus online since I can’t find it in stores. This is what you get for 20 years of computer usage without taking ergonomics or health in general into account.
