Strangest thing happend yesterday

I was about to play a little Serious Sam 2
and while the other guy started the server i tried the single player mission for a while and i got really sick

I started sweating and shaking and i also felt like i was about to throw up but fortunatly i didn't.

I've heard that some people can get really sick from playing games but i've never had this happen before I use a TFT monitor and i only played it for a couple of minutes so i dont understand why i got sick.

I can play other games like Army operations and warcraft 3 just fine.

i'm a bit worried that something could be wrong

Glad you're not dead.

At least you could 'say' (to your buddies in heaven or hell anyway) that you won a Darwin Award

Well, you could sent all your gaming gear to me and I could perform a two year test on it for you. Free of charge even. LOL

I know a few other folks that have gotten sick while playing games, but none as serious as you. I would say try again, but I am afraid of what might happen. I guess I would stay away from gaming for awhile if I were you.

Any game where there is a walking motion (MOH Quake Halo) gets me like that after about 20 mins, flight sims do not have the same effect. See if you can turn the walking "bounce" off.
The nausea takes quite a while to go away, maybe thats because I am an old ****.

I had that happen to me whenever I played Descent2-- the graphics and the motion would tuen my stomach and I would start to sweat.

So, I had to stop playing that game.
