Yeah, I have the game, but never remembered hearing this, but every 30 minutes, Navi in the OoT Zelda game tells you to take breaks every 30 minutes. I think it was because the 3D might make your eyes tired.

I forget which game it was but after about an hour of playing a message would popup saying "You've been playing for 1 hour, please take a break". Very annoying..

I want to break my laptop's screen just thinking about it. Adblock has weakened my ability to take this kind of abusive bull s***.

I applaud the self control it must have taken not to turn that comment into a Soviet Russia joke.

When you had to write a document on Microsoft Word, did anyone like having the goddamned paper clip pop up and try to correct them on spelling and grammar?

If I wanted to constantly be nagged about stuff, I'd go get a girlfriend.
