My ex roommate has it. But he only gets it with old games like Doom or Heretic. With new ones with open GL he has no problem.

I on the other hand never had any problems. even with wolfenstein's "repetitive" textures which didn't seem so repetitive at the time.

You're supposed to take regular breaks from you pc, as well. I think it is 15-20 mins break for every hour.

Yeah like you're supposed not to go on a car ride for over four hours and everyone does so, still. <_<

However I don't get side effects as well, not even those days when I had that old CRT.

My point was, if you stare at a pc monitor for hours on end, you're gonna get tired. Of course you're gonna get side effects - your brain will start imagining things, and get headaches etc. <_<

Sorry, no offense. It's just too usual to me that we act unsensible towards our health. That's what I meant. Not to flame your statement. k:

I happens when staring at visually incorect, unstable and cheezy graphics most of the time. I've had lots of these momentums while playing many games. Headacke's suck .

You guys read the Epilepsy warnings on games, right..?
And have the games' refresh as high as possible? I get headaches from NFS:Carbon (not Prostreet or Undercover for some reason) and Assassin's Creed 1 because of the brightness and the low refresh rate of certain PS3 games.

I occasionally get this. More often in 3d sprite based games however. Also a lot of 3d Portable games give me motion sickness, yet I still love my psp so much.

Same here.
And it's always been like that.
