[games_access] Half-Life 2 and Closed-Captioning - motion sickness

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,

Motion Sickness:
Do we have something about "Motion sickness"?
What is motion sickness?
Is there a way to avoid it? Or would this be a totally different game to
develop?

Half-Life 2 - steam - manul?:
I found the "Pause" button. Does steam support some kind of manual?
I found the information about the "pause" button in the options.
But that is a user unfriendly solution.

Best regards,
Sanda

Very interesting, Sandra, and a very good thing to research. It's actually a

game I've never had a chance to try out for myself (it's the type of game 
that makes me feel very motion sick after a few minutes of play - yes, I'm a

big wuss). Wonder if there is an ideal example out there somewhere.
