    You don't have some kind of disability or anything? Maybe it messed with your depth perception or something if the screen is up close to your face.

    I've never had a problem like that though, even after a long time. Most I've ever heard of is seizures.

    I've had a DS (and recently a DSi) for 4 years now and nothing like that has ever happened. Maybe your head is just sensative or something. Besides, there is a warning about epilepsy and stuff.

    And, let's be honest - it's just diziness. It's not like your having seizures or fainting.

    And that is why they have that disclaimer when you first turn on the DSi (that EVERYONE IGNORES!).

    Different people have different tolerances to that sort of thing.

    Huh, naw, I've played Advance Wars and Pokemon for at least six hours straight many a time. I grew up watching a screen though... god I feel so empty. What ever happened to playing in the streets or down by the brook...

    So, you're encouraging us to play more?


    ..Or did you mean "NEVER stare at your DSi screen for more than 4 hours"

    Sorry, bro. There is already that warning. Says you have to take a break from gaming every 15-30 minutes. [/Is the nerd who actually read the safety manual. XD]

    But yeah, I've stared at gaming screens longer. [/Is proving more and more nerdy. XD]

    I think the best thing to do is a 10-15 minute break per hour, but I seldom do that unless I'm playing all day.
