[SpontaneousJunk]

the controvercy started after the pokemon incedent

[SiriusStarSystem]

If everyone wasn't so stupid they would know that the people who control the planet put mind-control in all video games, music, movies, cartoons, etc. As well as subliminal messages and programming activation triggers. Nah stupid people can't believe the truth thats a wacky conspiracy....fuckin morons.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

@SiriusStarSystem Also, Paul McCartney has been dead for over 45 years and every celebrity is a part of the Illuminati, right?

[SiriusStarSystem]

@TackyRackyComixNEO No, many celebrities are aware of the Illuminati and are not allowed to go public with that information or they risk losing their careers. That is because Hollywood is controlled by them and if you work in hollywood you know that. Who are you? Some snot-nosed little brat at home on a computer? I doubt you know any real information and I highly doubt you have any personal experience with anything other than food, video games, and school.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

@SiriusStarSystem No, and we are not having this conversation, as I already know it'll turn into both of us throwing wild accusations at each other. Good night, sir.

[SiriusStarSystem]

@TackyRackyComixNEO Good Morning cupcake.

[mattjnor98]

I went through epileptic seizures as a toddler, it was a really scary experience! I never want to go through that horror again.

[dimdiocom]

just stop blaming video games or pc its all about how you feel about your life...

[Flake777]

It isnt the video games, its the lighting and flashings in the video game....Photosensitivity

[alfaandomega2]

@Flake777 ur comment is a fool comment..sorry....

[Flake777]

@alfaandomega2 I Have "Photosensitivity Epilepsy" & Have Had It Since I Was A Kid...I'm Pushing 30 Now, So I Think I Know By Now. God Bless :)

[alfaandomega2]

@Flake777 are u still playing video games?

[Scottvideoproduction]

I Have Seizures But Not a SERIOUS One Mine's REALLY small and im a hardcore video game player and during them NO SEIZURES

[visionimagify]

I remember playing the PS1 once when I was 17 for about 12 hours and had a seizure on the floor. Sucks.

[themonkeypie]

i too get migranes

[alfaandomega2]

@themonkeypie stop playing r u stupid?

[Extragiligant]

Killer Instinct XD

[jhoodedbunny69]

video games don't cause seizures, theres no proof

its the parents fault and it could also be the possiblity of it being in the family's dna for seizures

[buggeazy102]

@jhoodedbunny69 ..this is true i had one playing grandthieft auto

[severnjeff]

ha ha. LOSER.

[1983parrothead]

My parents kept telling me to stop playing video games too much, because they thought I could get photosensitive seizures. Several years later, when I ate too much of something with the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG), I started having seizures. It felt like you woke up after you've been beat up by tough guys, while the sides of you tongue gets chewed hard by your teeth, but heals up quite fast later on.

[buggeazy102]

@1983parrothead ...so basicly you got knocked the f__! out! lol

[laptoplewis]

and 0:42

[SantaWithTeeth]

I'm pretty sure someone with epilepsy wouldn't be watching this.

[Gretchenfan76]

I did and have it but had to stop watching it because it started triggering the feelings before a seizure happens. Smart to make a photosensative video about photosensative Epilepsy.. Idiots hah

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Wait a minute..."As video games grew in popularity, so did seizures..."

So basically, they're saying that having a seizure became POPULAR?!?? That's jacked up.

[scantace1]

@TackyRackyComixNEO HAHAHAHAAHAHA YA ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT HAHAHAHAHA

[tarot9230]

@TackyRackyComixNEO thats totaly jacked up man!

[Reaper91698]

@TackyRackyComixNEO its the new and hip thing!

[Werepirate]

Get a bigger fucking TV

Probalem solved.

[SpamNapkin]

Heh, Mike's watching Nick Jr.

[BDNeon]

Problems like this make me wonder if the human gene pool is deteriorating due to the absence of natural selection in a society. Things like allergies, epilepsy, and asthma are becoming so prevalant in our species because those who have these issues are still able to reproduce and pass on these recessive genes to the next generation. And of course we prefer to pass the ball and claim it's the things that evoke the symptoms that are to blame. Bullshit.

[LetTheMelodyFlow]

So we should kill all the inferior? YAY! -.-

[LilSkott]

Hitler failed, can you win the game?

[SIFUMHFV2p9Go]

I lost the game!

[anubisnecromantis312]

I imagine the poor child playing Street Fighter with Akuma... He can't even use the best attack from him without having epilepsy.

[UltimaChaos298]

Bullshit. I've been playing game all my life and I've never had a seizure.

[fingersandwich999]

you dont have Epilepsy either.

[NTIGBCYTP]

well what do you think, you're not epileptic!

[bio9831]

me 2! if i were there parents i would just grab him and say SIT ON THE FUCK GOD DAM CHAIR! XD

[hisguhfrmtx]

@bio9831 ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahaaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa lol

[661Anarchist661]

maybe his dipshit son shouldnt press his face against the tv?

[ThePS2God]

He's not a dipshit kid. He's young, and he doesn't know better. It's what you'd expect out of children, now a days.

[661Anarchist661]

Kid? Lol dude, its not what you expect from children. They pick up shit from their parents. His parents are to blame, they come on tv and complain about their son pressing his face up against the glass when its their fault. Don't blame this generation for a parents stupidity.

[ThePS2God]

That is completely true. The parents are to blame. I don't mean to blame this generation on parents stupidity.

[Grooveraider]

Was that nessessary? How old are you?

[ILOVE202DC]

I'm 18,i'm just wondering...i mean it moves involunterily for hours!!!

[ILOVE202DC]

hahaha

[jimvaught]

nah, that's just what happens when you put it in your mouth. you should think about joining the circus

[ILOVE202DC]

i joined, but they fired me for raping the animals... :(

[jimvaught]

lol :>) holy ****, i'm still laughing over that one...if i werent having a crappy post-chemo day, it sounds like something i might have said. good comeback.

[DoYouFeelTheTrance]

you've been watching porn right?

[ILOVE202DC]

yeah!

[DoYouFeelTheTrance]

you've been watching porn right?

[jimvaught]

what controversy ? anyone with experience can tell you it doesnt take much to set off a seizure for some people with epilepsy or other conditions...just the wrong combination of things on the screen and also the type of screen. i had to throw away our old CRT monitors and tv since they caused me to have seizures...i dont have epilepsy, 'just' a brain tumor. i cant look at a CRT monitor or flickering flourescent light without getting seriously affected. plasma and lcd are fine

[Grooveraider]

jimvaught - there was a time when game consoles and software did not package an epilepsy warning pamphlet thus why it was considered controversey back in the day.

[jimvaught]

well, THAT's the truth ! took them a while to make the connetion i guess. i do remember seeing stuff maybe 12-15 years ago that mentioned the possibility of such a problem...but back then i had no personal reason to care and it was easily ignored.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

It's only a problem with CRT TV's and monitors, LCD and Plasma screens can't trigger epilepsy as they don't refresh like CRT's do.

[jimvaught]

you cant 'trigger epilepsy'...you can trigger a seizure. the epilepsy is a condition that you live with that can strike at any time and can have many things that 'set it off'. not arguing your point though...the lcd and plasma screens are 99% less likely to create a problem unless you get flashig lights showing on them or that kind of thing...some video games have this issue reguardless of what screen you have.

[mouserorignal]

dude i got to start watching it its sounds great :P

[GODCONVOYPRIME]

yes it's true. Muppet Babies Gives You Seizures.
