I've been continuing my recent rediscovery of the joys of DOOM by way of DooM Legacy. I had a deathmatch last night with my pal RedAnt and also rediscovered the joys of "the claw," the effect when hands that have been pounding keys too hard or clenching a mouse too tightly go numb or start generating sharp pains. If I had to guess why I suffer this more while playing DOOM than other shooter titles, I'd have to say the insanely fast pace of gameplay is the most logical difference to suspect, but in any event, I need to re-learn how to exert a little less clench on the controllers, or learn to type with my knuckles (which come to think of it, might be an improvement over my miserable typing anyway).
