sheepdragon: As far as epileptic seizures go, that can be triggered by any number of things. I used to have epilepic seizures, followed by temporary partial paralysis, caused by sleep. That largely went unnoticed, though occasionally I woke up under my desk, unable to feel or move my entire right side. I've also heard of people with seizures triggered by specific voices, and such.

Well, I feel like quite the cad.
I don't have epilepsy, as far as I know. Can't remember if it was a CAT scan or MRI some years back revealed a rather healthy brain i.e. no spotting.
Bad humour on my part. =/
Though epilepsy caused BY sleep? That's very strange.. Would never have thought it possible.
Agree with the flashing lights being overwhelming. Sometimes I have no idea where the plasma balls I'm trying to dodge have gone. Gets pretty damned busy on screen.

Yeah I heard this game is awesome. It was actually on the xbox live indie games a long time ago, and it was one of the most popular and highly rated

Heh, I wasn't offended or anything, I just felt like mentioning it, since epilepsy was mentioned a couple of times. But if you look at the wikipedia article about it, you'll see that there are over 40 variations of epilepsy, with any number of things causing seizures.

I'm glad. =)
Probably a good thing you did mention it, I had no idea there were over 40 variations. Most of the people I've known with epilepsy are mostly affected by lights, either colour intensity or rapid changing.
Hah! I'm such a dick. First clue would have been the warning of PHOTOSENSITIVE seizures in the game.
