Half-Life 2 Causes Nausea, Looks Good in Doom Engine
BrookHarty writes "There is a large number of users reporting nausea while playing Half-Life 2. There is a thread on the Steam powered forums that talks about the wide spread problem. Some other sites are actively talking about the motion sickness, PlanetHalflife, 3DGPU, usenet group comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action has an active discussion, and gaming IRC network Gamesurge on channel #Halflife2." In related news from people with too much time on their hands, Jacques Chester writes "Folks discussing the visual merits of the Source and Doom 3 engines might want to look at this. The goal is to see what Half-Life levels might look like in Doom 3. An eerie result."
come for the naked robots, stay for the zombies
Playing HL2 can also cause epileptic seizures or carpal tunnel in addition to the nausea. Just like every other game out there can...
As can porn...but I don't really think that will stop anyone

We all know it'd look somewhat similar to Doom 3 itself.
Gee I only feel sick when I remember what I paid for my video card .....
Descent 1/2/3/Mercenary rock so much it's worth playing them through the nausea. Just keep a bucket beside you. Eventually you'll run out of vomit, and then you can keep playing until your brain melts out your ears and your eyes turn to red-veined yellow bricks.
If the porn your looking at makes you nauseous... thats REALLY kinky.
Smoking is an expensive, slow, and unreliable method of suicide.
