"IN MY EXPERT OPINION, YOU'RE SCREWED"
Called Nate's dad who's a lawyer, told him about what's been going on and asked him what I can do about it. He said it definitely sounded weird to him, and that personally he thought the beta test probably had something to do with my "psychotic episodes," but that legally I'm pretty much SOL.
For one thing, unless I can prove beyond reasonable doubt that there's some sort of correlation between the beta test and the blackouts, there's not much of a case, and he doesn't think I can prove anything at this point, since there doesn't seem to be any one thing that keeps triggering them. He said sometimes flashing lights and stuff like that can trigger epileptic fits, but because of the paper I signed, they're probably not liable for that kind of stuff anyway. And he's never heard of any epileptics spazzing out and thinking they're NFL linebackers! Plus, given my age and all that, he thinks a jury might think I was making it all up just to get some easy cash.
God this sucks. I don't even want any cash, I just want my godamn life back. Jeremy now has ALL of his stuff, including the tv, in his room and he keeps the door locked all the time. Fortunately he's usually in class or working, so I don't have to see him all that much, but I get the feeling he's going to ask me to start looking for another place pretty soon. Honestly, I can't say I'd blame him.
