A poll about video games, motion sickness, and whether I'm being crazy.

[rmd]

It seems I'm not alone in sometimes being prone to "Simulation sickness" (which is motion sickness without any actual motion). So, I've made a poll about it.

I get sick from watching and playing. Seeing a first-person simulation of falling? Ugh, my stomach drops right out.

I also am very susceptible to motion sickness. Car and air sickness are not as bad as when I was a kid, but are still both inducible states. Sea sickness, though, is bad. It is possible for me to feel sick on a moored boat, though I find that I can tolerate short boat rides on protected waters when the water is calm. However, I can also get "mal du debarquement," a fancy name for when the seasickness (and sometimes airsickness) follows you onto land. Bleh.

If dramamine/bonine helps with the simulation sickness, then awesome. Makes me wonder if pressure points (like Sea-Bands) would help as well.

Edited to add perfect icon. :)
