This is just hilarious. Even more so than the World Of Warcraft treadmill race across Azeroth. It’s a human-powered mobile treadmill by Alex Astilean. Technically the equivalent of a large hamster wheel for humans, this mobile treadmill will have everyone in the park giving you funny looks. Just be careful not to hit anyone. With the momentum this thing could potentially build up, who knows what kind of damage it could do?
Why bother sleeping or eating when that next piece of loot for your World Of Warcraft character is only one more hour away? I’m assuming that’s the mentality behind the 15-year-old kid who collapsed and suffered convulsions brought on by an epileptic fit. He was enjoying the latest expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, with some friends. After 24 hours of grinding and downtime, the kid finally broke.
Jim Lynch over at Extreme Tech wrote a funny post we just couldn’t ignore. Almost the entire column goes over how much Steve Jobs is in dire need of a wardrobe intervention. All of his clothes are either too short or too baggy due to his recent loss of weight. C’mon Steve, you’ve got cash, you can afford leather. Anything but those horrid workout clothes you’re always sporting. What would you want to see Steve in? Pierre Cardin? BOSS?
No one wants to stand during a raid. Yet, these German fellows who turned the Wii Balance Board into an interactive control mechanic for World Of Warcraft do want to stand as they play. They’ve done a similar project with Google Maps but this software mod sets the all time precedent of uselessness.
Relaying data to a laptop via Bluetooth, the pressure of your stance on the board is converted into directional instructions for the game. Much like other games for the Wii Fit, such as skiing, this control mechanism proves that much physical prowess is needed to play the game for a long duration. World Of Warcraft is one such game that requires prolonged exposure to the environment in order to achieve success. No lard ass geek looking to do a Gurtogg run wants to stand on his heels all day shifting his weight around like a hula dancer.

When we did 10 Alternatives to the Wii Fit, we originally filmed 20+ clips. We were going to do 20 Alternatives to the Wii Fit but it ended up being a long video. Above, the clips that were never shown…until today.
God help you.
Reggie Fils-Aime is a liar. He wants you to believe that the Wii Fit will make you skinny but the truth is: It won’t. To top it off, he’s one weird looking mother fucker.
Wii Fit is said to be influenced by activities in Miyamoto’s daily life. A Japanese man obsessed with clothes hanger puppets does not bench press or ski. Instead, he sits on his ass all day playing Mario. Oh that’s right, Miyamoto doesn’t play a lot of games; no wonder everything he comes up with just gets drier and drier.
But the man was on the cover of TIME magazine and although it was only because fanboys trolled the polls, Miyamoto deserves…something. Well, Miyamoto you managed to create a game of life’s little activities that keep people fit. The kind of stuff that anyone has access to without the need to purchase a Wii or Wii Fit. This video we’ve produced illustrates activities that will prevent your fat from overwhelming your helpless body. Yoga not included.
