[ALL] Too much Gaming?

[XavierDZ]

So I've been playing a lot more COD as of late, and notice my eyes are aching and everytime I look up or close them I feel like I have a migraine. Any one else feel stuff like this from an excessive amount of gaming?

 

[killgod]

It definitely happens, your eyes are strained. take a break, go outside.

 

[Swarley]

I'll definitely feel the strain on my eyes sometimes late at night, but I've never gotten a headache or migraine from extended periods of gaming.

 

[XavierDZ]

Yeah it sucks. I play at like 1am, so going outside seems less likely.

 

[XavierDZ]

And it just feels that way to me. First I thought it was a headache.

 

[killgod]

Spend less time staring at screens, it's alot of work for your eyes compared to looking at actual stuff.

 

[SethMode]

If you start playing at 1am, and after what I assume must be hours, maybe just go to bed? Or read a book or something if it's a case where you work night shift and sleep during the day. Like KG said, it isn't exactly healthy for your eyes to be staring at a neon screen for hours, especially when you're body/eyes are actually interested in going to sleep.

Yea what everyone else had said. Take a break.

I tend to get motion sickness when playing shooters. I can only play them for a certain period of time before having to stop. Even sitting as far back as i can, it still happens.

I never really play for long periods at a time but I can see it happening. I would implement frequent breaks from staring at any screens or sitting for long periods of time.

During my 24 hour Socom binges I never had any issues with my eyes hurting.

 

[Derrville]

I used to get motion sickness playing 1st person games then I got glasses and now I dont have that problem anymore.

You're a mod and you don't know how to edit a thread title? :smh:

 

[Garrett67]

Usually for me its a combination of too much porn and too much :fap:

I tried everything I could find. Went into Mod Tools, tried editing the thread...nothing.

Please enlighten me oh Master of the Arcade.

As for the OP, I think the problem is really just the fact that you're playing such a turrible game. Even your eyes hate it. :smug:

Get some Gunnar glasses http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&fie...r Optiks&page=1&rh=n:468642,p_4:Gunnar Optiks

Then you will be MLG all the way brah

A Pacific University research study of 36 participants did in fact find significant differences in irritation or burning of the eyes, tearing, or watery eyes, dry eyes, and tired eyes, that were each improved by Gunnar lenses versus placebo lenses, however there was no significant difference in glare reduction or contrast improvement versus the placebo lenses.[9]The study also never tested the alternative method of simulating the effect of Gunnar lenses by simply adjusting the computer monitor's parameters such as brightness, contrast and color temperature.
