HL2 Nausea
Since upgrading my computer allows me to play some more recent games, I decided to have a go at Half Life 2. The game was all the hype when it came out, but at that time my computer could barely run it at crap settings, so I didn’t bother playing through it. Now playing a few hours of it at a time, I get very nauseous. I don’t know if it’s the game or me, but this hasn’t happened to me before, at least not this soon. I remember playing Quake for maybe 4 hours that made me feel a bit dizzy after, but never really made me feel nauseous. I’ve played Quake 2, Unreal Tournament, Halo, and others for hours on end with no major after effects. It seems like after 30-45 minutes of Half-Life 2 I start to feeling some nausea. I don’t know what it is, it’s strange as I thought I’m used to this stuff by now. Oh wait, that reminds me of Descent 3, I think I played it for 15 minutes and I felt really sick afterwards. I think that’s the only game to really do it to me. Strangely enough, I’ve also got it recently with Katamari Damacy. Maybe I’m just getting too old for these games.
