Get in shape in AoC

Lateris

While playing Age of Conan when you die please do a set of 10 of one of the following exercises; push-ups, squats, sit-ups, and chair assisted dips. Also replace soda and coffee fuel supply with water and to earn your game playing for the day take a half mile walk.

lol...  Not a bad idea and should apply to all MMO's.  However I think the tighty-whitey and tee-shirt wearing, Cheeto finger stained, basement dwelling Morlocks that make up a large part of the online gaming crowd might disagree...

I liked the video of the guy that wired up one of those Dance Dance Revolution mats to AoC. Combo your way to a flat stomach!

How about this? Instead of playing an MMO i'll chase my kids around and play with them, I think that's a better way to stay in shape hmmmm?

That would be pretty funny to watch. Humm, it might be a lot of fun to do as well.

If a reasonably decent MMO ever gets hooked up to the XBox Kinect, I'll get in shape. 

 

That, or die of a massive heart attack.

You wouldn't be able to play more than an hour without having your arms fall off.

There's where the health and stamina potions come in

Last I checked, crystal meth was illegal.

But Adderall isn't, not if you have ADhD. 

 

Oh damn, here comes that heart attack!

 

Maybe a game company could work out ways to make movement sustainable over an hour or two.  I hope so, because the gym is the most boring damn place on earth, and smells like socks, while MMOs are the most entertaining thing out there that fits my budget, but are utterly worthless for fitness purposes.  Combine a decent MMO with fitness, and I will sign a waiver to play, holding harmless and not liable and all that legal yap any game company for any injuries, heart attacks, or emotional distress.
