FFR too stimulating?

VegetaRobGT · 06-10-2009, 11:56 AM

I started playing FFR just recently- since I havn't played a lot since I started nearly five years ago- and realized that I didn't really even play that much then (or seriously for that matter most of my games consisted of insisting a perfect game or tapping the arrows furiously to lose and start over.) So I started playing - and I got into it, and after I did- I was awake for five days straight. And I've never been awake for such a period in my life before- I took a break deciding not to play really late last night and finally got some sleep. But just wondering- when you are trying to break the barrier between how fast you react with hand-eye coordination like that... how many people have died from playing FFR?

I don't think anyone has died from it really.

lmao if only you knew what some of us put ourselves through

~HentaiXXX~ · 06-10-2009, 12:31 PM

I've died 3 times now...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!

[TeRa] · 06-10-2009, 01:00 PM

I haven't died, but I have lost my life. I guess that counts, right?

**dean_machine** · 06-10-2009, 01:05 PM

If anyone did die playing FFR, we probably wouldn't know about it.

**coraleaterlinda** · 06-10-2009, 01:06 PM

don't play FFR right before bed.

**Coolboyrulez0** · 06-10-2009, 01:08 PM

Death... no. (although I guess, it wouldn't be impossible)
Suffering damage to your body = very possible. (Damage to hands, wrists, CTS etc)

I have died multiple times, but I always play mario in spare time, long live 1 ups!

O_O I had no idea FFR screwed people over so badly.

Quigly · 06-10-2009, 05:13 PM

Whenever I do badly on FFR I make arrow shaped cuts on my wrists.

Last summer I played FFR almost non-stop some days, attained billions of points, and my hands never hurt from it. Or anywhere els on my body. FFR isn't that much of a stimulating game, at all. Compared to most games.

want my sm training routine? lmao

I think it's the epinephrine, adrenaline. You play for so long and as you are, your body will release some of this. This explains, for the MOST part, how the more you play in a time frame, the better you start getting. Being able to read the arrows more clearly, reaction timing, etc. This also explains the 'cold sweaty hands' experience. You shouldn't put out too much, but everyone is different. For example, it shouldn't be too much to get the whole body shaking and throwing up experience~

KAN I HAS MY DOKTOURATE DEGRY NAO?!!@@

Some people did die from playing various kinds of computer games. Same can apply to FFR/SM.

~HentaiXXX~ · 06-10-2009, 05:56 PM

My SM warm up
1) Play Sandstorm Marathon (see how long I can go)
2) Play DTM's Fury of the Storm
3) Play zl
4) ?????
5) Profit

**gafandriel** · 06-12-2009, 10:25 PM

Haha, I put myself through nothing, so I feel little stimulation.

Then again, I suck at FFR, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
