dont know of sc2 or general section so ... move it if its wrong
My problem is that when i am playing starcraft 2, i get ice fingers, i mean RLY cold fingers and even the whole hand, (so cold that it hurts touch my arm or anything because they are SO cold)
There are 20°C + in my room, i even sit in my t-shirt because i am heavy sweating when i play.
When i play relaxed i dont get it so hard but when i am playing my normal 300+apm game my fingers start hurting from coldness after 10-20 minutes.
Anyone has the same problem or an idea how to work against it ? it prevents me from playing alot when i have to run to the bathroom after every game to use the hair drower to warm my hands up again ...
update: i also get damn cold feets and sweat my socks wet oO

Eat and lift, Do you even do it?
|
same here somewyimes I find a semi open windows and sometimes its just lack of movement and circulation.
I guess to much effort combined with not warmed up hands start to numb hands. not sure what we feel is accually cold or numbness

Just play a round of rock paper scissors as warmup and everything is fine

Try wearing a particularly warm woolen sweater and a scarf. Your core will heat up and your body will divert blood into your extremities to cool down.
About those cold hands, that's a reaction your body has under stress. Adrenaline does something to the circulation to prepare the body for action on a hunt or a fight or something like that, which of course makes no sense when sitting in front of a computer but there's still nothing you can do about this.

It sounds like you're getting worked up a little too much. The sweating and cold hands are both symptoms of adrenaline (epinephrine).

ehehe normal 300+apm game ... what a brag! :D
I got the same problem even without 180 apm, it doesn't neccessarily have to do with that, it's just about circulation and some amounts of adrenaline. move them arround a bit, put em under your shirt or something to warm them back up.
also, maybe that's just because i'm lazy as hell, but if you have to run to the bathroom after every game why not just move your hairdryer to your pc? :p

I had that problem with a heavy mouse. Switched to a lighter one, problem almost gone. Now it only comes back if the floor is pretty cold, and that can be remedied by two pairs of socks.

1) Take shower
2) Wrap hands around your ballsack
3) Wash hands with warm water
4) Contain body heat by wearing shoes/slippers
5) Experience fire hands
6) gg

I get this sometimes too. My theory is that it's due to the angle which my arm is at while using my mouse and all the blood is draining from my hand.
Try raising your chair so your elbow is higher than your hand.

Ive got the same problems as you when i played fps for hours and for me it was the lack of movement.
To get rid of it i had to excercise between games or every few minutes for example stretching or do pushups after deaths.
At one point i increased the difficult so i started lifting everytime i died and i died even more because of it.
My hands started to shake of the exercise and i couldnt aim at anything. Fun times! :D

Grab some fingerless gloves. luckily I'm in australia where you can get the best soft gloves for this sort of thing, blended possum fur and sheepswool (called possum merino) gloves. I get mine from a place called mongrel socks, but there's loads of places in AU and NZ that sell them online so you should be able to get them easy enough.
It's not a perfect solution, but it's comfy and it helps a fair bit, especially if you make sure to get tight fitting gloves. possum merino is super stretchy and soft so you shouldn't have fitting problems.
you can also try the old trick of friction rubbing your hands a lot to warm them, but you need insulation like gloves to keep things like that.

i have a computer table which is metal and my feets are on the lower level so on cold metal, jaeh thats bad i guess i try with shoes etc, also i already make a towel under my keyboard so i not get in contact with cold metal there
socks are problem because i sweat there while gaming too and then i have to change them often (like my tshirts i ryl switch them every 2 hours while playing)
after i stop gaming and watch some dvd after just 10 minutes my hands back warm its rly only the sc2 gameing (other games no problem)

I have Raynaud's disease so my fingers and feet are always plenty chilly, especially while I'm at the computer or practicing as I'm just sittin there doing fuck all but playing/typing. In order to keep it at bay I wear gloves year round and fingerless gloves while I play. I would really suggest investing in a pair, but if you're worried it might impact your RoM then be sure to try them on in person instead of order them online. I have a set for gaming and a set for playing the piano because of this. Thumbs don't do much playing SC2, but I need full RoM in my thumbs when i practice.
It would also help to get your blood flowing, do some jumping jacks or push ups before you sit down to play, when it's cold outside I always sync up my gym visits prior to practicing because it makes quite a noticeable difference. Aside from that I would really suggest going to a Dr. and just getting his opinion, possibly a blood panel too if this is a reoccurring thing. The fact that the rest of your body is warm isn't good. Better be safe than sorry, gl!

A) Fist your dogs ass hole
B) Fist your own ass hole
C) Wrap your ball sack firmly around your hands for about 3 minutes
D) Swirl your hand around in some throw up (either yours or your fat old girlfriend)

Do your fingers/toes change colour when this happen? Paler/blue for example?
