Virtual Running with Grand Theft Auto IV

[TheSerenityBlade]

Hey i was wondering could you make a tutoral of how to make this device thanks

[MMOwnedRageCage]

Great idea- adds some excitement to working out indoors, and takes your mind off how boring using an elliptical for a long time is. :P

[adm5072]

This should be on every elliptical, really cool idea and great execution.

[hikorishi]

With gta i have hundreds of miles to run.... ever heard of real life? Unlimited miles mate!!

[TheGangsterPetre]

cool

[RECONNAISENCE]

greatest thing ever i need one

[atk502]

Now you can pop in Red Dead Redemption and run through the Wild West. Cool contraption.

[GoDiMoNsTeR]

cool contraption.....but you need to get out of your house and enjoy the real world man

[SixFt12]

@GoDiMoNsTeR I do get outside and run now. This was done in the middle of winter with over a foot of snow on the ground.

[GoDiMoNsTeR]

@SixFt12 hahaha, then congrats for your creativity!

[taydiggs85]

Every fat lazy kid needs one!

[commonabond]

a little on the expensive side, but if you have a spare elliptical laying around then it does blow wii out of the water. good idea.

[luckyuniversal]

Very nice job!

[billybobthortansbro]

And to imagine how much time you wasted making that contraption could have gone into actual exercise.

[SixFt12]

Exercising the brain is even more important than exercising the body.

[vidEOkid12345]

@billybobthortansbro but its a whole load of fun! id love to try this!

[RealtimeWorkout]

Great idea .... It's interactive !!!

[00robseep00]

amazing

[jav100]

this is a great idea... a virtual reality headset would go a long way.... you should contact rockstar about this, it's a great idea...

[fottolini]

I hope you get very, very rich!!!

[speakupforjustice]

awesome, i was actually looking for a youtube vid thats kinda like POV running that i can watch while jogging in place. i couldn't find anything but this was cool

[Livelydeathlol]

Kudos on Nikos track suit lol

[Scout1543]

how do you shoot

[SixFt12]

While I'm exercising, I don't do anything but run and control direction. The purpose for this is only to make running on the elliptical more interesting while I get in shape. Afterward, I play the game as intended, including shooting the crap out of everyone!

[vidEOkid12345]

@SixFt12 you should crimb places then fall off em!

[Sleeko11]

Genius! Better than a Wii... Hope you get rich.

[monkeyrobot]

that's kinda cool and kinda sad at the same time

[SixFt12]

Sad? Kinda hard to run outside right now with freezing weather and a foot of snow. Why sad?

[monkeyrobot]

ahh, freezing + foot of snow would be a good reason, if it was blue skies and sunshine it woud be another story

[Pelonetillo]

you should do gta san andreas. way more land to run on! great contraption.

[SixFt12]

I think this same setup would work for either game but I can't verify since I only have the PS2 version of San Andreas. I'm looking forward to testing this on Rockstar's "Red Dead Redemption" on April 27th.

[JustABiff]

Amazing.

[frarfarf]

brilliant

now all you need to do is come up with a way to operate the other buttons on the control pad via the bike handles so you can play the game for real and still run

[IxBeaniexI]

Brilliant, if only more people would do this like you have, gaming would be different and help us lose weight and have fun! also how do you shoot? lol

[magiccatalyst]

you sir, are a genius.

[SixFt12]

Thanks!

[Joeman280]

wayyy better than wii fit!

[gowplayer2]

haha all of you guys are taking this seriously. it's just a fun project. but the concept is pretty cool, imagine your body moving in a simulated environment. this would only keep you busy on the stepper for like.. 10 minutes but building it probably took a few hours.

[gamebozco]

OR u can just run outside, so u can hit by a real car!

[chieltjeuh]

Love the idea :p would be a good example to make gym more fun !

[jckgrim51]

really great idea!!!! wow fucking awesome!

[Seffer]

this is awesome!

[ELSuperJake]

Awesome!

[dreadplague]

Wow! That is the best thing I have EVER seen on Youtube!!!

[happyguy49]

An exercise machine I would actually use.. seriously. Patent this idea, find a manufacturer and start making scads of cash!

[NicknacLol]

@happyguy49 Listen to this man!

[eelcohoogduin]

Great, this vid made my day

[jasonmphillips]

That's awesome.

[aapinator]

total win

[SixFt12]

Thanks!
