You know that's dangerous...

I had that problem when I first played FF7... I even had most of my food brought to me!

After a couple of days I got very dizzy and light headed, then I threw up.
I also couldn't stop seeing a white square image that blocked over 50% of my vision for an entire day.
Then the next day I started wearing sunglasses while playing it, until my eyes had recovered, lol!

FF7 still holds the record for being the only game ever to make me puke!

Just to let you all know, I have been sitting in front of a computer screen for 12+ years over 12 hours a day (First a computer tech, now a database manager then I go home to play videogames) and my eyes are still going strong.

The only things I have noticed over time is my vision at night is not as sharp and needs more light then when I was younger. Also after sometime in front of my monitor my eyes begin to blur, that's when I take sometime out to wipe my eyes with a non-alcohol wet-nap and focus on dots on the ceiling tiles.

This article has some good points especially with the focusing away from the computer/gaming screen every so often. (You can use these times to take a pee unless you are one of those serious gamers that wear a diaper while you play).

I have played on the computer ever since I was 2 years old. I was playing Dark Castle on my Dads MacPlus Computer. Its now 14 years later making me 16 (for all of you idiots that cant figure 2+14) and I dont have I problems. I play video games everyday (literlaly). I dont know if im lucky, or Im just born with it. So... Does anyone have an estimate when the blurry disease will strike me?
