Apr 20 2009Matthew Perry Seeks Medical Attention After Injuring Hands Playing Video Games
Matthew Perry, with nothing to do since Friends went off the air like twenty years ago, has taken to playing video games. Like an addict. Seen here about to take his first hit with Snoop Dogg, Matthew has a serious gaming problem. So serious he had to seek medical attention after damaging his hands.
The actor admits he spends days on end glued to the screen playing war games on his XBox, ruining the muscles and tendons in his hand.
Perry says, "I play a lot of video games a lot of XBox 360. I played Fall Out 3 so often I had to go to a hand doctor. I used my hand too much and had to get injections in it."
Nice try, Mr. Perry, but I suspect the real culprit here is a little thing I like to call chronic masturbation. Been watching a few too many Friends reruns, have we?

Thanks to Edd, who particularly likes the episodes where you can see Rachel's nipples through her shirt (read: all of them).

how in god's name do you hurt your hands in a video game?

I think that if he had a Wii he would be using a wider range of motions and not just thumbs

I guess now to injure your hand for the excess of playing videogames, is a "get a life" wake up call

Go outside Chandler! WTF? If I had his money I'd be on a boat, man. With my trunks on. And my flippy-floppies.

must be playing between snorting lines of coke, because when my hand gets numb from playing video games, (which never happens, maybe if you are newb), i just would stop, but i mean if you are perry there and have lots of drugs to help push you through the gaming pain you get from trying to be level 8-4 of mario bros i can see it.
perry = total newb or just doesnt know how to work controllers

there was a pretty crappy PS2 action rpg that came out early in its life that varied the strength of the attacks based on how hard you pressed the buttons. playing it was the only time i have ever had hand strain from a video game.

I think this (video game obsession) is just a cover up for Michael Perry's sex life. What a Wanker....

I find this hilarious since in one episode, Phoebe gets Monica and Chandler a Ms. Pac-Man machine, and chandler plays it for hours, eventually calling his carpel-tunnel'd hand the claw, then remarking, "My hand is messed up!"
Good times.

could my hand BE any more deformed?

Actually he is in the new Zac Efron movie '17 Again' which i thouroughly enjoyed.

No one told him it was gonna be this way. His life's a joke, he's broke, his love life's DOA. It's like he's always stuck in second gear, when it hasn't been his day, his week, his month, or even his year.

"Seen here about to take his first hit of XBox with Snoop Dogg"
Snoop is clearly holding a PS2 controller

It is very important to stay on top of your health and have a check up at least once a year to ensure that you remain healthy. Many health problems are curable but you need to catch them in time. Do not wait to go see a doctor because it may be too late.

It's not a freakin' Xbox joystick, that Snoop Dog is playing with, it's a PlayStation joystiq!!
