How can you tell that someone is a gamer?
I for one can tell if someone is a PC gamer by their physical appearance... For instance, if you look at someone's wrist (The wrist of the hand they use the a mouse.) you'll notice that the inner side of the wrist will have a thicker layer of skin that normal. (From their inner of their wrist rubbing on the desk.)
But I was thinking, so if you can tell if someone was a PC gamer... What about consoles?
Can playing certain systems change your hands to suit the controller? Or even to react to the certain games you play?
(Did I mention the time when I played Ninja Gaiden for 10 hours non-stop and my thumbs were bleeding under the nails from the pressure.)

I have extraordinary long fingers, making PC gaming for me easier.
Console games, on the other hand, the Gamecube and PS2 controllers are just too damn small.

Adriankat I have extraordinary long fingers, making PC gaming for me easier. Console games, on the other hand, the Gamecube and PS2 controllers are just too damn small. Well, Ps2 pads cramp my wrists to hell after about 30 minutes. Never really even played a GCN for over 20 minutes since the only time I played it was in a store and people were getting annoyed at me for just standing and playing Bomberman World, or whatever that kick a** game was.

Those give you two problems? Did you ever play a SNES? There's a reason controllers don't look like that anymore. xp

Well... I think it's because... Back then they wern't really that many buttons... I mean with the NES and SNES, they just tried a similar layout with more buttons. And now gamepads have gone from being made to be gripped to being made to just sit in the palm of your hands.

I like teensy little controllers...
I heart my MicroCon for the Gamecube. It's the best controller ever. ^_^
