Glad you had fun Chuck. I have have been known to play the occasional PC game, and they are great time passers for being in pain. Last time I had some dental work done, I was able to zone out the pain and concentrate on the game instead. They can be real time-sinks, though. Cynthia Chuck Hards wrote:
I sprained my lower back on Friday and was laid-up in excruciating pain all weekend, so I had some rare time to explore the sedentary side of life.
I started playing a PlayStation game called "Destroy All Humans". You play an alien (Roswell-type) on a mission to extract DNA from humans.
This game turned out to be fun! The alien has a death ray, and even an "anal probe" that can cause it's targets much pain, suffering, and death as their heads pop off and their brains fly out (due to excessive "back-pressure").
I'm no expert on video games but I had a darn good time playing this one between spasms of racking pain. The UFO theme was a hoot. The whole game has a '50's - '60's theme and feel to it that even extends to newspaper "headlines" that "explain" what happened on each mission.
Highly recommended if you're into this kind of thing (the game, not the pain...)
