Just got my new computer yesterday and loaded up Call of Duty....

[TecmoBowl]

And I went to start the training level. About 30 seconds in I got nauseous. I had forgotten how badly computer FPS make me sick.

I haven't had a decent computer capable of running a good FPS since the late 90s. I have been mainly a console gamer (except for strategy games).

Never really had a problem with Halo, or Perfect Dark, or any of the other FPS console games. I mean sometimes, but that was usually at 3 in the morning after 7 straight hours of gaming. That just meant it was time to go to bed. I figured games had gotten better with framerates and such that they didn't bother me much.

But it came back last night. So am I screwed? Just going to have to fight thru it? I can't believe there is such a difference playing a FPS on a big TV screen and playing one on my monitor.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else have this big of a difference in reaction to consoles vs. computers?

No way! I once took a "non-drowsy" Dramamine and I went to bed early after a flight and slept until dinnertime the next day - like 16 hours!

I don't really get motion sickness, not like when I was a kid - but last night - whew!

Actually it was more like 20 now that I think about it. God knows what the regular stuff would do to me - probably put me in a coma.

You know, I don't normally get motion sickness at all from FPS. I play them a lot. But I played Call of Duty at a friends place, and I got all kinds of sick. I had to stop, and walk outside to get some air. It might just be that game.

Never heard of anyone getting sick from a FPS. How close do you sit to the monitor?
