re: Side effects

Maybe you have epilepsy in which case you should check with a docter because if you have a seisure alone it could be serious mate.

re: Side effects

I don't understand how anyone can play for several hours straight without any break. Don't you guys have other hobbies or go outside every once in a while?

re: Side effects

I used to play that much, not long ago tho. The only bad thing about videogames in my case is, I am suffering of carpal tunnel I think, well I guess not only from videogames, my work too, spending 8-10 straight hours a day in a computer helps too haha. ( goddamn mouse )

re: Side effects

Have frequent breaks during your gaming session, drink more water, eat more food.

No more dizziness.

Well I have been a gamer since I was 5 but have been noticeing some strange occurrences, Heres what happens, I can no longer put a disk in to the ps3 with a steady hand, my hand starts to wiggle and tweak out, also my vision gets blurry and if i look at pictures on my wall they tend to move really slow. also my eyebrow does this weird little twich that moves really fast. Worst one was when I opened my closet and fell in and kept shakeing uncontrollable for about 30 secounds, also after i get up from playing too much videogames i get dizzy and have to hold onto something to regain stability. Can these symptoms be caused from playing games to much, cus i play lbp from 4 pm to 4am daily.

Its up to you what you do but seriously why the hell are you playing LBP 12 hours straight, daily? No wonder you are having side effects.

And are you really 21 lol, I just cracked up laughing.

re: Side effects

I heard a news article where a UK boy collapsed after playing 48 hours straight of WoW online. The first thing they gathered after was that he was trying to beat his French mates playtime record of 72 hours before he collapsed. The reason why the UK one didn't last as long was because he had Epilepsy and wasn't diagnosed.

But honestly they were saying games like WoW should lock there players out after a certain daily time period. A result of too many people playing themselves to death.

re: Side effects

Whoa. Thats pretty rough. Like other people said go see a doctor. It might be epilepsy, you might not even be able to play games any more.

re: Side effects

Especially as Epilepsy is a spectrum of unique illness levels and not a just a simple illness.
