    Wow... that is freaking amazing, but not practical at the same time. Unless you want to get a workout while raiding lol

    Some folks that play it DO need to workout more, or... just START.

    Its impressive, but you have to admit its never going to catch on.

    You'd have a heart attack in battlegrounds.

    Yeah Its neat but not practicle like Cox said. This does open up a lot of avenues though like Skip said at the end of the video. I wonder what will come out next.

    I'd love to see this for Single player RPGS, be a lot of fun for the action section of the genre, fable, DA:O, Elder Scrolls, etc...

    I'd really like to know what kind of caloric loss gaming for an hour or two in this scenario would yield. If you're talking 300 to 500 for an hour or two that would be extremely enticing. (There's 3500 calories in a pound if you're wondering)

    ^^ Yeah.. If they make a decent one or you can remap things to work properly, I would definitely invest in it.

    Always wanted an RPG where I actually had to physically move my body to block or swing a sword, etc...

    Any cardio is good cardio, especially if your body is used to zero cardio.

    I think maybe the dude making the video could use a little more sun and a little less hot pocket. Just an observation.

    Yeah don't forget to eat your greens, like spinach, and smoke from a corn cob pipe. That will get you into shape.
