I have a mild case of Trigger Finger in my right (dominant) hand; ring and pinky fingers are affected, more pronounced in my ring finger. Fortunately, its not really painful, just annoying (especially in the morning) at this stage. I’ve got the fingers taped and have been applying cold and heat packs periodically. With rest (no video game playing) and keeping the fingers taped all should be better in a few weeks.
As silly as it might seem, if I had to point to a culprit, it would probably be the excessive XBLA Robotron sessions over the last several months. Playing hours upon hours (almost at a daily clip - - want that Wave 100 AP) with little rest has got to have caused this.
I hope the rest does it for me as I do not want a cortisone shot or worse… surgery.
Here is what its like... (not my hand).

Serious Sam will return this summer on Xbox Live Arcade.
Late summer, specifically, for 1200 Microsoft Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40).
Dubbed Serious Sam HD, the game will re-imagine The First Encounter, and be created by original developer Croteam.
The chaotic first-person shooter, where enemies spawn and overwhelm from every angle, will return with online co-op for four friends. The surreal Egyptian setting will be spread across 12 levels, and we're promised dazzling, revamped visuals.
The charm of Serious Sam, which first appeared on PC in 2001, forms around controlling the swarms of baddies that are triggered when collecting ammo or reaching a new areas. There are bulls that charge, headless baddies that blow-up, ranged attackers, skeletal horse monsters and enormous bosses.

Admittedly, there are plenty of new things in Wolfenstein. Veil Sight, a bigger, badder Nazi opposition, and new, destructive weapons are just a few of these things. But, as much as things change, some things stay the same, including protagonist BJ Blazkowicz and his penchant to shoot first and ask later. You know, if BJ tried to talk it out instead of resorting to violence at the drop of a Nazi helmet, he might have less problems in his life. But, then again, if that was the case, you wouldn't be reading this amazing post on Joystiq.com.
