Carpe diem

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was so excited to play the video game I just bought, I decided to read the manual in the game. I went over the seizure warning and thought to myself, who the hell gets a seizure from playing a video game? Apparently I do. FML

Heed the warning, bro. They don't make this shit up.

When will people remember this? Just because ALL THE FMLs AUTOMATICALLY start with "Today", it doesn't mean that they happened the same day! Anyway, that sucks a lot, especially if you're a big gamer - I'd be bummed if it were me. I'm curious about what game it was now, though.

Sucks to be you man. You just wasted money on a game you won't even be able to play.

22, perhaps the reason you feel like you are on the doctor's show is because you have no clue what you are talking about, but are pretending that you do. The doctors show is the program that told a group of school children the only way one could ever get diabetes was by eating too much sugar after all. First, Corpus callosotomies, one of the most common epilepsy surgeries, are performed on people whose seizure focus is never determined. Second, you completely contradicted yourself by first saying that someone with a healthy brain cannot have a seizure, and then saying that someone who was stressed (ie by lack of sleep or oxygen) can have a seizure from this game. Third, Most games with seizure warnings are well below the seizure threshold to prevent lawsuits, because someone with severe, undiagnosed partial seizures can have a generalized seizure from something flashing as much as the lights turning out in a room - thats why people with epilepsy find these warnings useless and there is a movement to actually have standards in place for the warnings to be used Fourth, how people feel after a seizure VARIES greatly from person to person. Sally may feel woozy, Joe on the other hand, may dance around in the street unaware of what he's doing, Ben may be to exhausted to move, and Tom may be suicidal, even though they've all had the exact same kind of seizure in the exact same area of their brain

lol#21. Tho I am curious wat game u were playing.

yikes! i play video games alot, but never once have i had a seizure.
