A gaming injury
So I went to game on on Friday, which was quite a lot of fun... I got nauseous from playing Doom, and watching Halo Wars, but I think the best part for me was looking at some of the amazingly old prototypes, like an old Odyssey wrapped completely in timber, and a wire-wrapped Atari 2600!!!
But it wasn't all fun and games - one of my colleagues, Brad, did suffer an injury... he was playing Sonic racing game on the Wii, when, during the requisite violent alternating of the hands, he accidentally touched one hand with the thumbnail of the other, and cut himself. Games can be dangerous :) I guess he needs to practice his micro some more ;)
PS - Let's Take The Train was a laugh... and yet strangely compelling ;)
