| Hey, I came across a study where playing certain video games( mostly shooting games) causes motion sickness and I need some feedback for an arugment. Honestly I don't think video games lead to motion sickness however it still a possiblity. I play ut3 a long time and I don't feel it so what you guys think. |

its not something that affects everybody.. some people get motion sickness really easy, some dont. some things cause it in some, and dont cause it in others. -------------

| My contacts dry out sometimes, sometimes games are too intense that I don't blink as much, it's weird. |

Motion sickness usually occurs in driving games but yes Ive experienced it in UT. I play then stop for a month or couple of months and in vctf ive had ms in suspense 2-3 times and containment. Proly cos its the 1st map ive played after a lay off and it doesnt last long but its very disorientating. Ive never had headaches but i get dry eyes all the time cos im starring at the screen without blinking plus i use computers all day! A while back i read about a guy in china who died from dehydration, he'd been playing for 3 days straight!!! And wasnt there a couple in US who neglected to care for their kids because they were too busy online? Kids nearly died! THats not disoriented, thats fkn disturbing!!! ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

| My bro says he can't really play videogames without feeling sick, I thought he was just being stupid at first lol. Maybe it does affect some people quite badly. |

everytime i played . . . i think it was either modern warfare or call of duty . . . can't remember . . . but the one when u play the campaign and u start out on a ship/boat . . . and OMG that gave me propa motion sickness i thought i was getting some weird sea sickness shiz!! the ship was swaying and u had to keep aim when shooting and stuff that propa messed me up . . . i couldn't finish that level. Other games don't effect me like that.
I wear contacts and i gotta take breaks cause my contacts dry out and staring at the tv hurts my eyes after a while . . . but thats not motion sickness ------------- |

I was playing MAG last night, sitting in a turret about to mow down the enemy when some severe lag happened. It lasted for about ten seconds and I started to get nauseous. So yes, games could cause motion sickness. ------------- |
