Some games are hazardous for your eyes?

It probably sounds silly but there are games out there that cause problems for your eyes, I´ve experienced it myself so I know it´s not a load of bollocks. But it seems not everyone is affected by that or maybe some people don´t play games as much as others. If you feel that your eyes are hurting then it´s probably a good idea to stop playing, even if it´s just for a short time. Too much of something isn´t good!


What do you mean with hazardous for your eyes? I´m talking about games that have a negative effect on your eyes that causes them bleed. Your eyes become irritated and that hurts, but it also makes your vains appear and it will colour your eyes red. This is probably nothing new for gamers that play long sessions at night, but I´m not talking about the type that you can sleep off. There are games out there that can actually damage your eyes if you play them (for too long). If a game is causing this then you´ll know soon enough, it usually doesn´t take long for your eyes to start hurting if you´re sensitive to that.


What should you do about it? The smartest thing you can do is to stop playing, take a moment of rest or do something relaxing and you could try again later. If the game keeps causing you pain in your eyes and they´re starting to get red then you should stop playing the game, which can be rough because if it´s a fun game you don´t want to stop playing just like that. But you have to ask yourself a question, is it worth it? No matter how much fun a game is, if it causes you pain and it could seriously affect your eyes then you should be smart about it and stop playing that game!


It´s possible that only a small amount of people are affected by this, which means you´re one of the unlucky ones. I guess you could try playing the game for an hour a day, but I think it´s smarter to just stop playing at all. I know it sucks when you can´t play a game you really want to play, especially if it´s brand new and is a lot of fun to play. But you should take good care of yourself, don´t be foolish and ignore the pain symptoms because it will only get worse if you keep playing a game that causes this. Not every game is like that though, so there should be plenty of games out there that you can play, it just sucks if one of the games you really want to play is one of the games that causes you issues with your eyes.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
