Your thoughts on Batman reminded me of something I heard about pre-Communist Tibet: there were police-monks who would beat bandits and other miscreants within an inch of their lives, then if they did, it was their own bad karma. Nothing to do with us monks, yer honour.
As for the pain, I sympathise (in the literal sense of the word). Early this year I had a nasty case of cervical spondylosis (read, pain in the neck), probably brought on by years of unergonomic computer use. And yes, mouse use can make it relapse, and action games are the worst for this. On the bright side I recently found that, in addition to the exercises my physio gave me, kettlebell halos work really well. So I could perhaps alternate between action games and actual action.
