have you ever felt not very well (like, giddy) after playing a game? I noticed that it happens to me when there is a lot of movement. Earlier I though that its somehow related to fps, but now I doubt that fps is the only factor.

If you mean giddy as in tired, yeh I feel that way after about 4 hours of playing COD4. Intense stuff. I usually take a break to check forums, do some work, then afterwards I go on again.

Only side effect from games is when I've been playing for a few hours and I go into what my mates now call "The State".

I stop talking altogether, I can't hear anything but what I'm playing, and I tend to get somewhat better at it.

Seemed to pop up about the same time I began playing Burnout 3.

My type of "The State" is where my conscience is blinded by some sort of boredom after playing what felt like an uninspired game and I just don't feel like doing anything. This can last for 30 mins or a week, so I end up not doing coursework and start force feeding myself to play games.

I stay away from this by not doing anything unnecessary on the pc (aka. blindly surfing the web with no apparent target...like now?).

Happens since I played BLAST CORPS on N64

'The state' is just over concentration, I have too much concentration already so I got in maniacal fits of gibberish and laughing.

Then your mom tells you to shut it...sometimes...only sometimes!
