Iron Greasel has a point. You wouldn't want to lose your senses of touch I think (if we can group all those various receptors in the skin and further internally).

Aside from feeling more diconnected from the world around you than you may realize, people who genuinely don't have (to separate one) the sense of pain don't live very long. Years of not knowing when you need to shift positions for lack of proper blood flow add up somehow. Don't ask me how exactly. I read that people who can't feel pain rarely make it past 25, even adapting to it from birth.

I think I'd choose smell (losing taste too). Our sense of smell is pretty bad anyway, as a species. Living in a dorm is a feast of unpleasant experiences for both senses anyway

Edit: Very interesting that a site for PC game fans would currently favor losing sight. That would be the last one I'd give up.
