Playing video games can be good for you!
The next time someone tells you you better "shut that thing off or I'm going to throw it out the window." Tell them that your keeping yourself healthy.
An article published in the British Medical journal (BMJ) found that playing games "can distract the player from the sensation of pain, a strategy that has been reported and evaluated among paediatric patients".
"Such games focus attention away from potential discomfort and, unlike more traditional therapeutic activities, they do not rely on passive movements and sometimes painful manipulation of the limbs,"
So, to avoid painful limb manipulation, play on!
