Just the little youtube video clip of gameplay gave me motion sickness...

I'll pass.

(although it looks really cool)

Edit: wow, five minutes later and I'm still nauseous. FPSs didn't used to bother me like this. I wonder if it is because of the small size of the video viewport in that flash vid?

If it was "nexuiz on ubuntu 64bit" then it was my video, and I'm sorry, I sorta was having problems capturing it and it looks jerky. It doesn't really play like that. I was going to replace it with a new video, and I made it, but I forgot to upload it lol.

I don't think it was yours. It was the one on this page:

that looks like a much older version, but it sounds like you suffer from like FPS motion sickness, I've seen people like that before that get nausiated from FPS games going back to like quake 1. My wife has massive trouble playing any fps game, or even watching me play, she get's motion sickness from compiz wobbly windows and cube desktop even.

I never had any trouble with Doom, Descent (1 or 2), Quake, or Carmageddon. (I started playing video games on an Atari 2600... ) However, Duke Nukem (the original) would make me sick after an hour or so.

Strange, Yabba, but Ive seen it happen to many before.

Racing games tend to do it to me a little.

I think is has something to do with improper spherical correction and/or too large or small a field of view. However, I don't know if spherical correction even applies these days as it was (I believe) only necessary when using ray-casting in the rendering engine.
