A Wii incident here. I was at a friend's house and playing Wii Sports. I was bowling, and I got into it with the whole arm motion thing...and my hand smacked into his overhead fan. That was spinning very fast. Twice.

Amazingly, it didn't scrape up my hand too badly...
Well f*** my a**...IT'S A DECEPTACON!!!

I'm surprised you didn't quit and move somewhere else after the first time.

Myself? I've gotten very freaking near close to Carpal Tunnel quite a few times (I blame MMOs) and my hands were actually more callused after my stint with Gundam Battle Assault 2 than they were from the weightlifting and badminton I was also into at the time. Good stuff;

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

A few years ago when DBZ was big and the second or third game came out for the Ps2 I rubbed all the skin off of my palm rotating the stick. I couldent close my hand for two or three weeks.

I was playing the 360 version Guitar Hero with my neighbor down the hall. He maxed out his Star Power meter and was going to really wail on a part in The Trooper (on expert no less!). He jerked his guitar really hard, and it went really wide and hit me in the chin. It cut me and I bled. Fortunately it was only a scrape, so it didn't scar.
