I'd say that is is worth refuting. For a more open ended game like toribash, you can do whatever the fuck you want. Although, there are many games that are very linear and closed.
Also, as someone who has experienced a bit of MMO addiction(eat, sleep play, etc), I did not suffer any eyesight problems, headaches, or back problems. It was also the most laid back and amazing week of my life

The idea that screen flicker is bad for you eyes is complete bullshit. 60fps is about the same as the maximum rate our eyes take in images. And out persistence of vision smooths everything over anyways. If anything, sore eyes should be attributed to the brightness of the screen.
People who blame the computer on the minor ailments of others usually seem to be masking their own insecurity about being completely helpless on a computer. I don't understand it, so it must be bad. You rarely see someone who knows anything about computers attributing a headache to computers.
