Okay. The reason I wasn't on for the past weeks was because I was major grounded. :-* My mom sas I need to take breaks from now on, but I'm not sure how long. Any help? I think you break by half the time you play, so 1 hr 30 min game time, 45 min of break time. Am I right? :-\

For every hour of constant staring at a computer screen or video game screen, you should have fifteen minutes away from it to allow your eyes to rest.

So at least a quarter of the time, yes.

Taking a break periodically, even if it pulls you out of your "zone," is always a good idea. As was mentioned before, you should take at least a fifteen minute break every hour or so to walk around a bit and give your eyes a break.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

To hell with that.
I'm living hard, and dying fast.
lol!
Besides, my parents said they'd pay for lasic surgery for me if I payed half.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

Isn't it living fast and dying young?

Personally, I read somewhere that playing video games makes your eyes stronger. But, of course, I guess it said nothing about it if you played them nonstop.

I think I know what you're talking about... I can see why, too, because in a lot of games, you have to keep focus on a certain position for an extended period of time, so it's probably good for focus. However, if you play to the point that your eyes burn, that's probably not good.

It's 'Live Free OR Die Hard'.
