Fun Stuff > CLIKC
Computer games you can _comfortably_ play with one hand

Be careful with Eve Online. There is a good chance your other arm will drop off from sheer boredom.

Go for the Avernum series, it's pretty point 'n' click, though the amount of clicking to move around might drive you mad...I usually use the keypad for that.

Oh, yes, Avernum and Geneforge are the best rpg/adventure games out there period. Go for Avernum 1 first, since the stories are actually really interesting, and the three first games had the best gameplay by far. It will look kind of basic at first, but you will be amazed at how the world just keeps expanding and expanding. And it's really funny at points too.The keyboard helps a bit, especially when you get to larger battles (like a couple of demons that spawns their own horde at you), but it's not uncomfortable with the mouse. Just takes longer.
I didn't think there was anyone out there who had played any of these games other than me. They are the best, far better than any RPG games developed by the big studios. They are also fairly cheap and the demos are like 1/6th of the game, so you can play for free for a long time to decide if you want to pay for em.

If you like racing games, there's always TrackMania. The only controls are Gas, Brake, Left, and Right. They're so basic you could play this game on an Atari 2600 joystick if you really wanted to. TrackMania Nations Forever is free, but United Forever adds more cars and environments.
Another game along the same lines is [ulr=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunts_(video_game)]Stunts[/url]. It's really old (so it will run on anything from a 486 up), but a lot of fun and it's free. At less than 2 MB it's a fast download and worth checking out. (Run it under DOSbox to get full SoundBlaster audio.)

I used to play Stunts on a 286 with 8 Megahurtz (12 with Turbo!) and it was the hottest stuff on the block.
Trackmania is fun but I already finished it. The next thing I'll try in racing games is Flatout 2 with better mapping so I use the thumb for handbrake and the pinky for nitro.
My therapy program so far is watching obscene amounts of TV shows and playing Sacred.
Once I get a USB keyboard so I don't have to hunch over the laptop for more complex games, I should be alright.
Tried playing Call of Duty on my brother's PC and cramped after about one hour. It was too soon.
After Sacred, I'll try out Commandos 2. From what I remember from the original Commandos, you could play it pretty well without a keyboard.
