And of course there's no real way to reply to anyone on the poll answers, so I shall just reply to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
farli here, about the PS2 game thing --
SSX Tricky is OK on my wrist, because there's no seriously rapid-fire button pushings (at least in the Time Challenge) - you get a couple seconds rest between things, and I can use both wrists equally. I also ahve a cheapass poker game that's fine. XD
I played some Soul Calibur 2 this weekend, and while my carefully-thought-out strategy of randomly mashing buttons as fast as possible did serve me in good stead for the most part, by the end of about 15-20 minutes, my wrist was starting to protest and I quit before I hurt it worse.
There's bound to be some other games out there which don't require as much fast button-pressing, and I can keep my fast-game stuff confined to short periods of time.
[In case someone didn't read my VERY IMPORTANT poll, this is in reference to a question that asked for recommendations for PS2 games that didn't aggravate the tenosynovitis in my right wrist, as I discovered Soul Calibur 2 did this weekend.]
[And let me state right here that the misspelling of 'calibre' in that title DRIVES ME CRAZY.]

If you like singing, there's the Karaoke Revolution games (Like DDR for lazy people).
Most RPG games are button-mashing-lite if at all.
DO NOT PLAY FREQUENCY OR AMPLITUDE! They were designed to *cause* carpel tunnel and RSI.
Actually, a Resident Evil type game might be up your ally. Light on the button mashing, more on the strategy. Only small, occasional flurries of button punching.

I'll go look at your poll answer. XD
Hm. One of the computers over where the student workers are (I'm at the Ref desk at the moment) is making fairly loud, gravelly RMMM RMMM RMMM RMMM RMMM noises. That doesn't sound good.

tech support from afar because i'm bored.
If the RMMM RMMM RMMM is high pitched, it's likely either the fan on the video card (I really doubt you have video cards powerful enough to need a fan, so let's go ahead and rule that out, shall we?) or the processor fan. if it's the processor fan, shut the computer down immediately and call your hardware support person. Even a few seconds of it running sans fan can destroy the processor.
All of these are survivable scenarios. Now if the RMMM RMMM RMMM is accompanied by a hard clicky sound, that's the hard drive. shut the machine down and backup the drive immediately. Once the HD is gone, it's gone.
Re: tech support from afar because i'm bored.
I've heard that RMMM RMMM RMMM/clicky sound before, when the HD on the server at the Architecture library ate itself. That was not a nice sound. :)

Crazy Taxi is just insane, arcade fun. It's a driving game, but you get to drive over everything from stairs, to grass, up cars, through water-- all while trying to get people to where they want to go.
Of course, there are RPGs, but you wanted action-type games :3 There's actually an RPG out there, produced by Koei based on Gensomaden Saiyuki. Veeeeery cute and beautiful illustrations! But it's difficult to find!

Saiyuki, hum? Might be worth a bit of research.... heh
