It has been raining in Austin for around the last week on and off. This makes it extremely hard to ride. On one hand, it is not raining when I can't ride, which makes me want to ride. But then, when I can it is always raining! So lately, I have resorted to riding my trainer, which is never that fun. But Nick came up with an amazing idea the other night: halo training. This is where I ride my trainer and play Halo at the same time. It is absolutely the most fun, ever. A great study break for sure. I have depicted below what I think this looks like. Master Chief shooting up the bad guys on a bike. The bike happens to be one that was designed by Thomas Edison.
I found that positioning my body to use a controller and ride at the same time can be quite difficult. I either put my forearms down on the handlebars, or just sit up and spin with no hands. I also have to be careful not to sweat on the controllers! I have also found that when there are lots of bad dudes to kill, I find my legs stop as I concentrate on the game. I'll have to work to keep my legs moving!
Forgive my poor Photoshop skills, I'm an engineer, not a graphic designer.
I do something similar to this, except I play F-Zero.
ReplyDeleteIt works out pretty well! Thanks for the inspiration!
