I know the feeling, but it all depends on how much time you spend browsing the forum. I spend quite a bit of time on it, how bout you?

Yah me too. I spend like around 2 hours sometimes and my eyes start really to hurt, I'm assuming all the radiation or something like that?

But when I leave for like half an hour it starts to get better same thing for you too?

Hmm. This could be becuase of the bright colours of the forum. Rebon and I are currentely looking into some darker alternative skins for the site that will be 'user selectable' so you will have a choice of skins, which hopefully will be easier on the hardcore forum browsers eyes.

Lol

that discribes me perfectly btw can you explain why does the bright colours of this forum hurt your eyes after like 30 mins or so?

Thier must be a medical reason behind what you said and when you are on really long it starts to really hurt badly

Well try shinning a powerful flash light in your eyes and you'll just be getting a much more intense feeling than what you get when staring at a bright object like a TV or PC screen over time. People sit very close to PC screen and some are often very bright and brightness can be damaging to your retinas, hence why your not supposed to look directly at the sun...

PC screens do even more damage than TV's because you sit so close to them and more of their light goes into your eyes. However nowadays most monitors are fairly safe and then illuminate much less intensely than they used to. I'm sure there's some evidence to back that up, but It's not worth my time to look it up. Anyway hope that helps a bit.

In a surprise meeting by Mythic Entertainment, the first glimpse of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was shown, running on an Xbox 360. The game has not been confirmed for any console at this time, but Mythic has stated that they are considering bringing it to the PS3 and Xbox 360. They showed an orc character on a live server, and to demonstrate how it will work cross platform between a console and a PC, they had a second orc running on a PC, running around eachother. Mythic went on to explain that they have been using the Xbox 360 character to jump into their PC playable demos running on live servers with beta testers, and so far, no one had seemed to notice.
If Warhammer is to be on the consoles, don't expect it to release until after the PC version, possibly in 2008. Also, since console players are somewhat uneducated with MMORPGS, Mythic is considering simplifying gameplay. If they do this, console gamers would not be able to interact, and would play on seperate servers. Mythic was very interested in taking advantage of Xbox Live perks, especially voice support and the unified gamertag features.
Mythic wanted to make it perfectly clear that if they bring Warhammer to the console and simplify the game, they will not be cutting out of the game itself. To do this, they said that they'd add plenty of console specific content to balance things out. Stay tuned for more updates as they are available.
