Wonderful! Yet Another Reason
<div class="IPBDescription">To Call Gaming Evil!</div> <a href='http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030128/hl_nm/computers_clots_dc_1' target='_blank'>http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ters_clots_dc_1</a>
Just in case you are too lazy to read the article. It basically says that computer users are prone to the same type of bloodclots that affect passengers in planes on long trips. This dude used his computer for 12 hours a day non stop and almost died frm a clot that traveled from his leg to his lungs.
Moral of the story:
When you end a round and are in the Ready Room Stretch your legs, stand up. Maybe do a jumping jack or two before rejoining the fight!! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I wouldnt worry about it, just live your life, and dont do anything stupid.. i mean, 12 hours sitting without moving? just take a stretch and go for a walk around your house or something..
A shot of Jack Daniel's and some french fries and I'm good to go.
Pansies.

This isn't like a heart attack because you're unfit. This is blood clotting because it pools in your veins when you sit without moving for extended periods of time. Solution, get up and stretch every hour. Not too hard. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (It's the same problem as some people have on long airplane flights.)
