First-person shooter (FPS) used to be my favorite genre. Back in those days I could play Medal of Honor, Half-life etc all day long till my mom shout at me to turn off my PC and go to bed. However, during form 4 and 5 I had to stay in hostel so I got only little to none time for gaming. Plus, I had to concentrate for my SPM so I decided to quit gaming for 2 years.

During my rookie year in Uni I wanted to redeem what I've been missing. At that time Half-Life 2 was teh uber cool so I installed it on my PC. 10 friggin' minutes into the action, I started to feel some kind of nausea crap, felt like vomiting

I thought it was temporary only, so the next day I tried to play again but the same thing happened. Until now I still can't play FPS resorting me to switch to platform/action adventure as my favorite sh!t.

Did anyone of you have ever experienced this situation? I'm 21 BTW

p/s I did try playing FPS on PS2 and all seems fine. No pening2 lalat no feeling like vomiting whatsoevah. Just PC. As we all know FPS on PC>>>>>>>console

maybe..if so then why? any scientific info on this? I did an eye test before and the result is like eh dunno how to describe but close to perfect lah, no need to wear glasses, if that helps

I see, thanks. But but I don't have this problem when I was a kid. Is it because I'm getting old? Does any of you old timers/veterans have this sort of problem? or did I overuse my brain during SPM era lulz

Is it because the game sucks or did you felt dizzy too?

no no I once installed Half-Life 1 on my PC just for the sake of reviving the good 'ol nostalgic feeling but..blah blah felt dizzy, alt+f4, went to sleep~ this happened before the Half-Life 2 incident and at that time I thought, well maybe I'm just too tired, maybe I should get some sleep first

Yep LCD I think Far Cry 2 gave me the most severe headache out of all the latest FPS. I still can play Crysis/CoD4/CoD5 on my friend's PC but for around 20mins or so. FC2..sigh, walk in jungle like 2mins only felt like vomiting blood. Gave up on it completely And if I'm not mistaken you will get blurry screen if you run too far isn't it? Lol with the nausea sh!ts I somehow could feel how the main char feel at that time

lol will try it tonight..MW2
