Aren't those called blisters?

I'm guessing the group of doctors that came up with this were really being pushed on publish-or-perish.

Called "PlayStation palmar hidradentitis" by the scientists, the skin disorder can cause painful lesions on the palms similar to patches found on the soles of children's feet after taking part in heavy physical activity, they said.

I'm glad they added 'PlayStation' in there. Because that makes it clear that there's no way you could get this from playing on an Xbox or Nintendo or Wii for hours on end. Or from doing other repeated motions with your hand for hours on end.

5 What are YOU shooting zombies with?!

I totally got fragged by the computer AI last night. Dude, I knew I was sucking out loud but I thought that was a bit harsh.

Speaking of Zombies and video games....

How many of you morons have Left4Dead? I still have yet to play through that game in any form of co-op.

10 Oh, and I'm referring to the PC-only version too. I hate shooters on any kind of console.

11 I'm in front of my computer at least 8 hours a day, I don't want to game on it too.

12 I have an XBox-360 for other games like my Madden and NCAA Football. Maybe I'll try and find an updated version of the Rugby game they used to have on Xbox.

13 CinC: I made a note of your Steam name and I'll add you when I get Steam re-installed (in the midst of a slow-motion reformat to Windows 7 Beta).
