DarkGuardian, you are a moron. (no offense intended - hehehe) I really hate to say it, but you should know that anything with flashing lights can cause epileptic seizures - i.e. all computer games, all television shows, traffic lights, emergency services, etc.
Therefore there is no way that every seizure causing thing out there will be taken off the market.
Sorry to do this, but I feel it has to be said (might just be the fact I'm having a bad day, but... meh.)

what's the difference between that and looknig at the TV for hours upon hours?
Before they re-edited it, Pokemon used to deal out seizures every afternoon.
Maybe it was a combination of exhaustion and the *blink-blink* that did him in.
Hold on while I sacrifice a virgin floppy disk to the Computer Gods...

Put simple your TV (interlaced) draws every other line per clock tick (for lack of a better term) and your PC (non-interlaced) draws the entire screen per clock tick. So, at a low refresh rate your eytes may not catch the flash of the screen but it does register in your brain.
Anyway, it's been a long time since I studied all that stuff so forgive me if it's not completely correct, but that is the jist of it.
BTW- Too much exposure to TV can have the same effect, but you really need to be sensitive to it.
this is only marginally related to this thread....but it has to do with health and interlacing...
we found a lot of folks here had bad headaches, eystrain and fatigue after a day of data entry...now i never had this problem sit in front of my screen all day....(at least not when un-hungover :))
I found that i was very sensitive to...well...best i can put it is frequency clash...between the flourescent lights in the office and the monitor...flourescent lights pulse slightly at 60 hz in north america ....the scan rates of monitors are up to 120 hz....i found that i could just barely perceive a pulsing (even on my expensive studio monitor) which went away when the lights were off...so...for some years i have worked in my office ...mostly in the dark...(which leads to office gossip about vampires and such...but if it keeps users afraid of me...and in line :D )
We replaced most of the flourescents with incandescent task lighting (which has no pulse) and a good deal of the complaints went away....
Another solutions is lcd flat panels...but the $20 gooseneck table lamp was more in the budget...:)

this just rots the holes in the brain so the vidio demon can go in and do her dirty work.

Its kind of a scary thought, I'v played StarCraft for LONG peroids of time.
I wonder what my refresh rate on my monitor is...
-
Korp: Out of curiosity, have there been any studies to determine at which rate your brain does not respond to pulses? (Even rates higher than the refresh rate of your eyball may have effects... harmonics...)
IMO, if this is real, I doubt it's solely the game's doing. If he was susceptible to seizures, it probably would have happened a long time ago. If he wasn't, and it was a gradual onset, then he should have just passed out.

ppl don't die of playen 'puter games... they just die... A kid (a friend of a friend) died one day right before a football practice... he just fell over in the locker room and was dead. He was 100% healthy and just died... **** happens... if games killed, a lot of children would have died from playin horrible games like the Barbie games... lol
