Guitar Hero Made me Hallucinate?

[xkittyxlicksx]

My little sister got Guitar Hero III last night. Now, I had played it before, randomly (at friend's houses etc.), and it was like playing any other game...
but when I actually sat down to complete a few songs (I wasn't sitting at the screen for hours.. I had only played one or two at this point)

I had just completed a song; I put down the guitar for a moment and my eyes glanced at the cupboards under my TV. They were wiggling... not just kind of wiggling (extremely reminiscent of being on acid) but REALLY wiggling. There was more wiggling than anything I had ever seen wiggle, ever.

My first thought was: I haven't done acid in forever, wtf is happening to me. I was actually frightened, because I had just had 12 hours of sleep - so exhaustion wasn't an explanation for this mysterious wiggling.

Has I just been staring at the screen for too long, the motion of notes rushing at my face?

It happens everytime I play now and makes me slightly dizzy.

So my sisters and I all sat there like a group of junkies being all "huhuhuh the floor is wigglingg"

Lmfao. Kitty, the same stuff happens to me. After playing a few songs, the floor, t.v, table, hell everything, starts moving in a sort've..wave pattern. I don't really know why it does it. I knew I wasn't the only one cause I had a few friends over, and they experienced the same thing. If all goes wrong, we can sue Activision for distorting our vision.

its because your eyes are fixed on something thats moving at a constant pace for awhile, then you look away....after you play for a few times it eventually stops

For me, everything scrolls up.

Thats what me and my friend said. We're like "woah look at the carpet its moving......trippy" *hits joint*

Edit: ^ No its like you visualize the track moving upwards, but cutting off at the end.

This happens to me every couple of days cept i'm doing nothing. Room gets like all ****ed up like now jesus christ i'm dizzy -.-''... Pain in the ass considering you feel like your going fall down. Oh great now it looks like my remote for the tv is moving to the side of the table! Call a psycharatrist(sp?) for me please Dx.. And get me a strait jacket!

I play Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band for hours and nothing like this happens to me. The first time I played GH3 wasnt that long but the first night my bro bought RB he had 2 friends over and the 4 of us played it for like 3 hours straight and no wiggling or jiggling of any kind happened to me.

Every person is different with their eyes. Just like one person could have perfect eyes and the other could have astigmatism.


Kitty, you're focusing too hard on the actual notes that are moving. I don't know any fix or remedy for this, but over-sleeping could also play an important role in this.

That video was pretty great.


Also, Kitty, where have you been?

Well, it goes away after a few minutes so I don't think it's THAT much of a serious problem unless she decides to go operate a heavy vehicle...in a blizzard.

[Trippy]

lulz. If you see a panda named George in your next trip, tell him I said hi. that video is trippy, although, I thought some scary person was gunna pop out at the end. !
I've never tried the game, but at prom a couple months ago, they had this playing, and I watched for 2 songs and then I went to turn away all i could see were squiggles on mah girlfranns face. D:

This happens because your eyes are adjusting if you are focused on something with bright colors and fast moving such as guitar hero it happens..I don't get it anymore because i sit infront of a computer or a tv all day so my eyes are always screwed....if you dont like it get ginger pills and take them before you play it shouldnt happen anymore

[Urahara]

Hahaha....you guys should check out latest Pure Pwnage episode since everyone in Guitar hero topic.

[Oisterman]

Lol. That is nothing more than an optical illusion. Much like that spiral; the one you can look at for 30 seconds, then see everything twisting and such. Its because your eyes get used to the pattern, and want to continue it.

A friend of mine had the same problem with DDR.

Personally though, I can't even look at Guitar Hero. Never even tried to play it, because I get that, along with a feeling of vertigo really, REALLY bad (just watching people play it. So, maybe having done acid in the past, we have opened up our minds to react differently. (since I get the same thing). I think everyone gets it, but we just get it quicker, and more intense.

That sounds like a form of stress...do you start to "black out" or get a bad head rush when you stand up sometimes? That is overwhelming stress in your life. I had the same thing...and I eventually saw a doctor for it. He said it was common with teenagers, and gave me some sort of pills (prolly a placebo, but it worked lol)

Shit, someone got some good weed.

[Dragos]

its happened to every1 who plays guitar hero one time or another
