I'm not trying to be a bitch, I like reading your posts. I just can't if you keep the flashing avatar.
Sequential Flashing lights is like the only thing that can trigger epilepsy when someone is therapeutic. Well maybe some more head trauma, but in every day life, Lights are about it.

My step father is epileptic. He was therapeutic for a good couple years without a seizure. He was driving through town and come across an accident. Nothing major, but an ambulance was there with their flashers going n shit. He stops at the stop lights. Catches eye of the ambulance. Seizures out.. Stomps the peddle from tensing up. Cookies in the middle of the 4 way of lights while his light is red. runs over about 3 cars and comes to rest mounted UP on a large dual cab ford. Tuna canned it. One lady injured. She was getting out of her car. One of the cars he hit was hit so hard it got shoved into her car and she banged her elbow. Nothing serious at all.

Good thing is. ambulance was there on scene to assist ;) His truck... barely scratched. I think he replaced a ubolt on the front end from mounting the other truck.

Anyway... yea flashing shit is bad for the epileptic.



Oh for the video games question. It really depends on the person and the games. Sure all games flash. But it has to be a sustained sequential flash to trigger it. Another time when I was young. Step father and I playing old school mario on the original nintendo. His turn. Hes all going along jumping, im watching him play. All the sudden mario stops so I say go go go. no movement. I look over and the step pops is reaching at me shaking and drooling. pretty freaky for a 5 or 6 year old.

Ive saved his life on numerous occasions when hes conked out. ALls been well for awhile now.
