So I saw a game for X on the Apple page called the Cow Catching Game, and I downloaded it just to mess around. I've played it twice, and both times I've ended up sick to the stomach. Is this the computer version of mad cow disease?

I am OK while playing, but as soon as I stop- my stomach starts flippin'.

I'm going to pull your head off because I don't like your head.

They should make an ad campaign that flaunts the game's ability to "strenghthen the bonds between you and your beloved toilet and/or airline sanitary bag!"

the speed can be adjusted, by changing your resolution... higher resolution, less fps, slower unidentified cow catching object! I love playing it!! It makes y'all sick??? huh... doesnt' do a thing to me, except make me mad when i can't beat the high scores!

Maybe you should change your name from the Upsetter to "the Upset"

I'm sorry, I too am 19 and I love Cow Catcher Game. Also, Doom. I have not played Q3 or UT because they just don't look like they are fun. I have other things to do, namely class.

I'm more like 50 than 19, and this is the first time that a computer game has made me sick. Seriously. On Thursday I actually had to go home from work cause my stomach got so upset. What was i doing playing at work? MYOB

My son's 12, and I actually got the game for him (sure sure sure ). He played it for a while with no problem, but then suddenly had to stop cause it made him sick too.

I wonder if there's a subliminal message in there too

Now Cipher, you can't have it both ways--either X is too slow or X its too fast. And let me tell you, when you catch cows in your UFO, it's the speed that burns the belly (cause we all know you can't burn CDs)
