I am immune to it all.  but yes, i know some people( my mother for one) who get nauseous just watching the screen for 30 seconds, with games like morrowind, undying, and others.

I\'ve known some people like that, what helped a bit was beng in a well lit room sat at a distance from the monitor (not on top of it), fresh air seemed to help to. Luckily I dont suffer from this.
I have returned!!

I for one suffer from uncontrolable widescreen eyes if i play for too long, I walk around n everything seems small, I cant look at a monitor and see only whats on the the monitor, i also see the sides of it and anything around it.

I never get anything like this. In fact, somehow I get fitter and stronger by sitting in fornt of my PC doing nothing all day. Either that, or everyone eles I know is getting puny. (Or it\'s those tablets which say steroid or summin on them that taste good. :P )

Anyway yeah, it sucks. Anyone else get this?

I have the exact same problem as you.
the cure is to put down 3dsmax for a week (or whatever you do when you don\'t play) and play games instead in a while you will get immune, but then when you haven\'t played for a week you\'ll get the same problem again.

cure: Play games  :]
Put the pot down, no dont take another puff!, put it down. Thank you.

The only game to have ever given me really bad headaches etc.etc. was a 3D, 3rd Person game for the PS2 called Jack and Daxter (or something like that)

I beat the game pretty quickly but by the time it was over I had a horrible, pulsing headache - not sure why - and its never happened with anything else before
