omg...I always thought I was so so healthy until now...I remember on Chirstmas my neice got her xbox, the first game she opened was viva pinata, I was watching her play for a while and that night I rememebr I got so dizzy, I fell asleep....afterwards I had an idea that the dizzyness resulted from playing the game but I wasn't sure......today I was watching her play a new game and I began to get dizzy and I quickly turned my head away from the game and started reading the instruction booklet and in it discribed photosensitive seizures....I guess if I had kept watching the game, my symptoms would be even worse....

my niece enjoyed the playing the games

and I remember reading that charles gnarly's (sp) video was was banned from mtv because it didn't meet certain standards, I guess the lights in the video could also triggered seizures....I watched it on youtube but I didn't get sick or anything....

    Well I think it started when I stopped playing and moving the characters around...so as long as you're playing, where you have control of the screen, it's okay

    and not everyone gets them...my niece was fine....
