Does anyone else here feel nauseous after playing video games?

They look like such fun, but every time I try and play my daughters PS3 after about 15 mins or

so I feel sick to my stomach and have to lay down.

Here's an article on it. It doesn't happen to me but then again I haven't played video games in 20 years. My son is getting a Wii for Christmas and I'll give it a try to see if I still have my "video legs" for playing without getting nauseous.

hmm... that is a bit unusual...

 

 

For some reason i've never been able to get why people like video games so much... about all i like are card games (EUCHRE!!!) and a few boardgames...

 

(btw i'm 14... so it is somewhat abnormal)

It's like motion sickness. I only get it with split screen games, or when I try to play a system hooked up to a very large screen.

 

Try viewing the game through a smaller screen, or, you could take some Dramamine. (SP) Motion sickness med.

Yep, I'm with you there brother, especially those first person shooter HALO type games. Doesn't matter which system either.

...I feel the same way! eusa_sick.gif Specially with ist person games (like silent hill for example), I cant play more than 20 minutes bacause I feel causeous, I play on a 52 inch screen at less than 12 feet, so maybe it has something to do with that...

videogames are the one thing I do almost as much as playing guitar. I have been playing since I was 4 and now I am almost 24, never once got sick.

I'm an old guy. I never got into video games. I would try one, be impressed with the graphics and then wonder what they deal was. The last one I liked was Pong and it was only a space saving alternative to air hockey. I guess I like the human interaction in playing.

I also don't see how being shot at by heavily armed bad guys is "entertaining". There's nothing really fun about gun fire and explosions when they are aimed at you. The air guitar hero thing looks kinda silly, it's nothing to do with making music as far as I can see.

I think if playing video games makes you sick, take the hint, it may actually be bad for you.

I think the last console system I bought was Sega Genesis so it's been a while since I've played anything like that. Over the past 10 years or so, I've been into online mmorpg games and currently play World of Warcraft. Those types of games are less twitch oriented and the graphics aren't as flashy.

deepblue - you are not alone.

 

It happens because the visual stimuli suggest you should be moving, but all other stimuli confirm you are stationary.

 

Worst with first person games where you 'run around'.

 

Simple solution as espoused by Tommy Cooper's Doctor.....

 

Tommy - Doctor - video games make me nauseous.

Doctor - Then don't play them.

that counts as DRUGS in my opinion. The only safe DRUG out there is probably tylenol.

 

Is any one else really annoyed by all of those DRUG commercials.

 

"side effects may include, dizziness, constipation, THE RUNS, ....... It's all dumb.
