Imagine using a treadmill instead of pushing the up arrow. If only I was attached to my general pear-like shape.

    All of those FPS addicts would finally get a decent workout (not just their wrists) if they had to use a treadmill. Nice concept!

      Heh...and all those Tomb Raider addicts would get to see what it really takes to jump twice your body height while carrying a shotgun, two Uzis, a priceless and magic gold artifact, and two cantaloupes in your shirt. Does the word "oof" come to mind? :)

      But what does my opinion matter, I just vote here. It's not like I have any money or anything.

      Nevermind, I'm not even going to say it.

      Good one - very funny. I mean, where would she put canteloupes with those enormous breasts?

    This isn't going to be particularly interesting until somebody figures out how to stick themselves into a game of Leisure Suit Larry...

    So, not to be a smart-ass, but...

    "a visor that projects a 3d world exactly the same as your physical arena".

    If it's exactly the same as your physical arena, what are you gaining? And how do you know when it's broken?

    haven't these people ever watched sci-fi movies? obviously, anyone who gets killed in a virtual reality game will be killed in real life. messing around with this stuff is suicide.

    Keep the treadmill moving fast, so if someone decides to stand still to spawn camp, they get thrown to the floor.
