wildweasel Posted November 28, 2005 It'll be a bit disorienting, not being able to travel 40 MPH after having just done so on the treadmill...but nice idea nonetheless. 0 Share this post Link to post

Caco-Puff Posted November 28, 2005 It'd be alright if there was actual strafing,Otherwise It's just retarded.Unless you're playing Extreme Sprint 3010 of course. http://www.phoenixgamesgroup.com/uk/games/extremesprint.html 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted November 28, 2005 All this talk about "entertrainment" reminded me of the suckiest SNES game of all time, "Extertainment Mountain Bike Rally" (look it up). :-) 0 Share this post Link to post

Bank Posted November 29, 2005 I cant spell u said:Dude I could own some fat noob on that treadmill with a keyboard and mouse in a minute. Personally, I doubt that the treadmill is especially usefull. I'd much rather hold down an arrow key than worry about a moving belt. Ponder this, how do you stop? 0 Share this post Link to post
Jehar Posted November 29, 2005 That and the fact that you use some sort of "twist grip" for looking up and down... sounds like a chore. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted November 29, 2005 Just make a controller that stabs your fingers probing for fat deposits. Then it starts to electrocute you and flashes messages across the screen like, "YOU ARE TOO FUCKING FAT, YOU LARDASS PIECE OF SHIT. DROP THAT QUARTER POUND OF COW AND DO A FUCKING PUSHUP. IF I CATCH YOU ON HERE AGAIN, I WILL INJECT YOU WITH EBOLA." 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted November 29, 2005 Games + exercise = DDR. There is no substitute. Until FPS games have a matrix-style jack to stick in my skull, I'll play with a KB and mouse. 0 Share this post Link to post

Janderson Posted November 29, 2005 For the concept of this to work with strifing you need to use I giant mouseball that is lubricated enough to spin easily yet holds enough friction for control. Although it would help get my arobic and cardio fitness right up, trying to pedal doomguy round the dm map at his usuall speed of Mach-3, I'd feel no end of a tit. I don't know why but I've always felt treadmills to be humiliating. 0 Share this post Link to post
