Physical problems

[Zeryo]

Hmm this is very odd and the first time it has ever happened to me, while playing ffr i started getting dizzy and the arrows started doing weird movements, even as i type this my head feels like it has been moving around really fast, it looked like the arrows were seperated and on a double they looked like quick singles. Agh my head hurts.. Recently ive noticed that i've been reading words wrong, one word can seem like another, r's put next to n's turn into m's and other weird stuff. I think i have been developing dislexia or something.

Is it possible for a video game with flashy backrounds and moving objects over them to develope dislexia or other mental problems? I feel extremely dizzy and i dont think this is normal.. hope this doesnt continue to happen.

Ok, go pick up any video game instruction manual and read the WARNINGS list. Ill type up what it says on this instruction manual:

"WARNING: Seizures
-Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns [arrow patterns!!] such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.
-Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symtom linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before playing a video game.
-Parents should watch their children play video games [psh]. Stop playing ad consult a doctor if you or your child havy and of the followign symtoms:

Convulsions Eye Muscle or eye twitching Loss of awareness
Altered vision Involuntay movements Disoreintation

To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.
2. Play viedo games on the smallest avaliable television screen.
3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
4. Play in a well lit room.
5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.

-Avoid excessive play"

So I have a few questions:
1. How long has this been happening?
2. How long were you playing?
3. Were you in a dark room when this happend?

So if I were you, I'd see a doctor.

Good luck, get well soon.

Yeah..... If you've been playing an excessive amount of that one level with the rabbits, that can be the cause of your problem... lol

Hope ya feel better!

[Pooping_Panda]

ya something like that happened to me a while ago....but it eventually went away...maybe it'll do the same for you...when did it first start happening too you?

[NirvanaFreak0872]

oh man, that is the suck. hopefully your body will sort of "adapt" to ffr and you can keep playing

[ToshX]

Heres an idea- dont play FFR when you feel like that :P

[runnerz453]

For about the first month i played FFR that would always happen to me. I could only play for about 3 songs in a row until i got really dizzy. I would look at the wall and i could see it melting. It went away after about a month. Make sure you are not extremely dehydrated because that can cause that kinda thing to happen

[KickaUrass]

Only thing I've noticed after a week of playing FFR is that my hand freakin' hurts!!!

[ToshX]

I play FFR 25(yes 25) hours a day and nothing happens to me, nothing happened to me on the first week...

[jewpinthethird]

You know, I thought I was a little out of it when I was getting dizzy after running 2 miles (half a mile of bleachers)...but damn, I guess that is nothing compared to you'll's problems yeah?

[Z3ratul]

Unless your playin Party4u I'm not sure... take some asprin, get some sleep

[ad0gg]

thats never happened to me... at least from playing ffr or stepmania

[Reach]

ITs never happened to me playing SM...

But i was playing IIDX once and I passed out. I guess i wasn't used to concentrating on so many keys at once.

[ToshX]

Its never happened to me on any video games before. For some reason I'm one of those people that just wont pass out, get sick, or even change if playing for excessive hours for excessive days.

[RobbyZero]

When I used to play FFR I'd play for like 7 hours straight a day sometimes if I had nothing to do,nothing ever happened to me except for being really tired and my eyes like burning..


EDIT: Now I have trouble playing 1 song..
