Ever wondered how it would be like to actually run around in the World of Warcraft? How much faster you could’ve made your player run? How much of that belly you could lose? Well, guess what, some creative people at Manapotions, with the same questions, took some time out and used some treadmills, cycle wheels, joysticks and optical mice (for speed conversion) and connected them to the computers in a unique fashion. Result? Actual running = running in WoW; your character literally runs when you run on the treadmill. This answered one of the most common complaints of the characters being “too slow”, because believe it or not, the characters really are unbelievably fast, as you’ll see in the video below:

Well I certainly think that this is an amazing feat and the guys really deserve credit for amazing creativity. So if you ever wanna burn that fat lying around, just hook this up and start playing for a unique experience! BUT, if you wanna skip all the pain and wanna continue with the normal fun of sitting around whilst whipping your player to do the running for you, then continue being that couch potato.
