Anyone else here get motion sickness when they watch 3-D video games?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I can't watch my kid play for long, or I get nauseous. And I can barely play them for more than a minute or two.

Does Dramamine work on that?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

1. Nobody?

I'm a freak?

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I never watch them.

My son plays them, but I can't stand them. The noise, the graphics...too much.

:hi: GoG! How's your cough?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. It's still pretty intense,

though it's much improved over Friday. I was able to get through my gig Saturday night at least. But now my kid has caught this stuff. :(

I'm taking the day off today to tend to him and see if I can't recuperate a little. Thanks for asking! :hug:

4. I think I had the same one over Christmas.

It was terrible. But Delsym helps, a lot. If not, you might ask the doc for some phenergan with codeine. The drug of choice for bad coughs. Works wonders. Side effect - it knocks you out!!!!

:hug:

5. I'm glad we waited until after the holidays...

That must have been terrible!

6. Fortunately, I had most of my shopping done. My husband

was helping out a friend and installing a tile floor for her, so I had to send TM out quite a bit to finish up. It was a kick-ass cough/respiratory thing.

7. I get motion sickness trying to watch NBA highlights.

Can't do it. Can't watch the kids play video games, either.

When I went to see Cloverfield yesterday, I got to the front of the line and there was a sign that said something to the effect that people who tend to get dizzy from shaky camera should sit near the rear. I decided to wait for it to come out on HBO, so I can turn it off without blowing the extra ten bucks...heh.

8. I wonder if Dramamine or those wrist magnets help...

My kid had a game called Ecco the Dolphin that was so cool...but I could never play it for more than a few minutes before I'd feel sick again.

11. Yeah, some wish they had saved their money

"I'm really nauseous right now - just hold on for a second," Erika Hasegawa, 32, told the Los Angeles Times as she staggered out of a screening of Cloverfield and retched into a rubbish bin. "I wish I could get my money back."

9. I do

I leave the room whenever my son or husband play them...never tried Dramamine.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. I'm glad to know it isn't just me!

[SPKrazy]

15. Mr GoG gave me Q-Bert a few years ago...

And the first few levels were like the classic arcade version, so I was ok. Then it changed to the newfangled 3-D graphics and I had to quit. :-(

[CGowen]

12. No, I only get sick on a boat or recently I got sick in a car when somebody else drove.

I was searching something on my cell phone and looking down, without seeing what was happening outside and the curves did it for me.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I've only felt car sick when I try to read and ride...

Other than that I'm ok.

[LostinVA]

13. "Dark Forces" (for PC) used to make me so sick I had to go lay down

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Seems like there should be some preventive remedy...

short of not watching.

[Meshuga]

18. I do. I can't play 3-D video games.

I get really sick.
