Just had a friend over watching when i was playing some fast pasted qw... Afterwards he said that he hasnt seen anything like that before... much faster and stressfull than cs (ye we know that, thats why we love it). But he thought that qw could couse epilepsy... That actually scared me a little... What do you think?

I think your friend is hypochondriac!

I bet it's more probable to get it from one of those flashbangs in CS than from anything in QW.

as Ake said, qw does not contain so much flashy stuff so the risk is probably quite small

have you ever heard of anyone get that of quake the last 10years?


people have died of playing cs

you don't "get" epilepsy, you n00b

I guess he meant epileptic attacks, which you can get only once or twice in like 10 years without being considered to be an epileptic. I remember this girl who were in my class like 5-6 years ago who got such an attack without any seemingly source at all, she didn't look at something that's supposed to be bad for an epileptic or anything. Was weird when she lay down on the ground like in trance, shaking and all.
