19.Feb.2010 Gaming: Warping Priorities Since 1977

I love video games. Sadly, I realize that it isn’t the most healthy activity in the world… not only is it bad for my eyes, but it could lead to carpel tunnel and heart disease due to inactivity. And let’s face it- besides the rare exceptions of that Nintendo power pad game and Dance Dance Revolution, gaming isn’t one of the best fat burners ever. Despite all this, I rarely miss a chance to play for hours on end. I’m thinking that a big hamster wheel or treadmill-like controller is needed- so whenever you want your character to walk or run, you’ve got to do just that.
