WHAT THE FUCK "When's it gonna stop Ash? "..... when I've caught them all." Question: Why isn't this in production yet? And would you watch it if it were?

I think he just wants to know what you need to know to creat that do-thingy. Unless the proportions are really small, you should be able to do it after a few failed attempts and some small planing. Practice makes perfect.

I have a silly question!
Can you make a paintball sniper rifle? I'm only asking because my friends want to go paintballing within the next month or so, so I wanna know if I can buy that or not...

Alright.. this is a really strange question, but bear with me
I want help trying to identify a problem I've had since.. well forever. Its kind of a fear.. but not really. When I look at certain things, particularly certain patterns, I start feeling a heavy nausea, but I never actually puke. Instead, it seems like I get fixated on the pattern, like my mind is trying to force itself to get used to it, but it never does, I just stare at it for a while, feel nauseous, look away and shudder, trying to not look back again. The best example I can think of is looking at the inside of a beehive full of bees. I'm not exactly grossed out by it; its inexplicable, just a really unpleasant feeling that I get fixated on. Another good example, (though a little specific) is if any of you played RA2, the animation of the chronosphere structure when it was charged did the same thing. Its not stills mind you, normally moving things. Usually its complicated patterns, but that doesn't exactly explain it either. Well, I'm not sure if that matters. Any ideas on what I'm experiencing (i.e. this type of reaction to seeing certain images or patterns)? |

Thats pretty interesting, though it may be one of the other conditions listed on the site. The wikipedia article has been updated since like 6 years ago when I last checked; I don't think the related syndromes were listed, or I just missed them. At any rate, I'm not going to get it checked out because it occurs so rarely, and even when it does, never does anything. Just wanted to know if anyone knew what might be going on; I had been redirected to photosensitive epilepsy a long time ago when I first tried to research this, but I was under the impression that that had more to do with flashing lights (i.e. there are a lot of youtube videos with 'SEIZURE WARNING' on it etc.). Thanks anyways. |

I would have to disagree with TRL. While your symptoms are some of the accompanying signs of a mild epileptic episode I wouldn't call it photosensitivity just yet. Likewise the triggers for epilepsy are usually consistent because they point to the neural connections in question, specifically because the great amount of synapses causes the neurons in the system to overfire excessively. If it isn't giving you problems on a consistent basis, epilepsy seems unlikely. Depending on your age you'd have likely have had full on tonic-clonic seizures at some point in your life if it were epilepsy (epilepsy starts early) and diagnosed a long time ago.
If you say it's more particular for moving objects, it might be vertigo. Have you had hearing issues along with it?

Hmmm how should I describe it.. it has to do with complicated patterns, but the elements in it should be moving close to randomly, or at least seemingly so. Thats why a beehive causes it, or if you've ever seen an accelerated video of cell reproduction, beyond a point (when the screen is covered by cells) the feeling begins to kick in. Well.. it was definitely worse when I was younger. I would get pretty strongly fixated on it, and would always feel more nauseous. I remember that there were a couple of times when I told my parents (over the space of 2-3 years probably), but it looked like they got really worried so I always managed to shrug it off as nothing, and get out of going to a doctor. As it turns out, it never actually caused a problem ( I had totally forgotten that I even had it, till just the other day it kicked in watching some documentary on bees). Now when it happens ( it happens pretty rarely) its fairly easy to shrug off, as I know what happens, and just think about something else. |

1. Does it happen more if you focus on a particular moving element that would require your eyes to move along with it? 2. Is it alleviated by shifting your head or closing your eyes? 3. Do you suddenly get some vision problems with it, like sudden flashing lights or sudden loss of sight? From the looks of it, if it isn't with hearing problems it's not likely an inner ear labyrinth problem. It looks primarily a problem with the optic tract, and without primary vision impairment it seems like a brain stem or cerebellum problem. Internet medical diagnosis is hard.

2.Yes, closing my eyes for even a second, makes the feeling recede immensely. it returns just as quick if i look again. If i close my eyes or look away, its like i completely forget what about it made me uncomfortable in the first place; i just can't explain why this happens at all. 3. Nope, no vision problems. http://www.google.co.jp/imgres?imgur...w=1440&bih=799 long link i know, but this image causes it. again, this is why i have trouble explaining exactly what kind of images cause it. Oh, and btw, thanks for the help meotwister , theres no need to continue this, i just wanted to know if anyone would have some ideas off the bat. |
