Alas, I can't be recruited. I can't even play the $&#% game because 1st-person shooters give me motion sickness.

Suffering from ads?

Oswald, no I'm reading your posts. And they don't make sense. So what, I say? Every army in the world uses propaganda (and a lot conscript). I consider it to be no big deal.

Jon: The only one that didn't give me problems was Quake II, which I played multiplayer while in college. Every other one makes me sick. I REALLY wanted to play the new Wolfenstein, but after less than a minute I was dizzy and nauseous.

Just FPS, as far as I know, Lemmy. 3D games for the Nintendo like Zelda didn't give me problems at all.

It could be because 3D games on your PC don't run too well, low specs resulting in a low number of frames/second could cause it then, like how a low refresh rate makes some people have headaches.
btw. i'm no expert on this

SITREP (7.5.02)
America's Army is experiencing unprecedented popularity! Just prior to its release, the AA website had an average of 750,000 hits/sec. This was merely a premonition of things to come... In the 36 hours of its release, AA:O RECON has been downloaded by several hundred thousand gamers (thanks to all the folks and the gaming community for sharing in this herculean effort!) At its peak, HomeLAN's authentication system has served over 500,000 authentications - averaging 15 every second! Demand for AA:O RECON has been so great that we've increased our game servers by twenty-five percent the past twelve hours (with more on the way)! All this -- and its only been 36 hours! We were prepared for quite a rush -- but who ever thought it would be something of this magnitude! Thanks for all the feedback and support in making this special RECON version so successful! Stay tuned and check back here regularly -- there's much more to come! [Bacchus]

Nope, because it doesn't matter what PC I run them on, the result is almost always the same. This has gone on for about 4-5 different computers I have owned. My current PC has specs that kick Wolfenstein's ass, but I still get sick playing it.

Steep is 512MB RAM required, GeForce 3 and above.

Hell, Speer, my video card has more RAM (several times more) than your entire system.

You need to upgrade if you want to play modern 3D games. You're way, way obsolete...

Yeah, I consider a minimum of 32 MB Video Ram to be steep. *sigh* Oh well... maybe in a new computer.
