Exercise plan?

Miss K found this link to an amazing piece of equipment that could solve my annoying belly issue. I am too sedentary, I spend far too long on the computer or in the car... and its not doing wonders for my wasitline.... but I really hate exercise and have never been good at actually making time to go and do any.



So an exercise bike that powers you round the world of second life could be a great idea, if its modified to work in Everquest2. I had thought of something like this a while ago, but never realised anyone would actually make something that worked!

In related news, Sony held a competition to find a real life model to play Antonia Bayle, one of the major characters in Everquest, you can read about the winner here. (and yes I am jealous)

Hmm... think I am going to need to spend a lot of time on the exercise bike thingy then!

    LOL cool idea, Im thin enough and I think constant nervous energy and stress combined with not eating as well as I should all combine to cause that. I do jog some mornings though when I get the urge/am not to hungover.

    Hmm, that model kinda shows the demographic that Sony are aiming for with their marketing. Teen/twenties boys! :)

    Unless... did they have a similar competition to find a hunky guy to play the overlord? :-)

    No hunky overlords Becky...

    In recent months Sony have gone all out to try and make Everquest appeal to the World of Warcraft demographic - teenagers with short attention spans! There has been a lot of changes to the game to make it more appealing to the casual player, which isn't a bad thing..

    Actually, it's Second Life, not Everquest 2. :)

    Ok, now that I actually *read* the article, I see you already made that distinction. Sorry. :)

    Reading is good, I should do it more often.

    (And I'll get right on that EQ2 bike project :) )

    Heh.. no problem Kyle. I An Everquest 2 version would be great.. and small enough to fit under a regular office chair/desk combo.. I have a small study...
