Re: Read now for important safety information!
Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org>Date: 9/5/01 11:32 a.m.

In Response To: Read now for important safety information! (Mark Levin)

: I think that disclaimer is on the box because of the recent spate (or
: possibly fear of a future spate) of RSI-related lawsuits. The manual
: probably has standard instructions like ergonomic ways to hold the
: controller and reminders to take a break every 10 minutes.

"Hey - don't shoot me for a minute, okay? I have to take an RSI break."

(I'm not ridiculing the injury, which can be really, really painful - I'm ridiculing our litigious society, that requires idiotic warnings like this to keep companies from being sued by greedy/naive/just-plain-stupid people who should know better. You hurt yourself playing a game too long, you DESERVE the pain.)
