Gizmodo's Illustrated New Year's Workout for Geeks...With Nothing But Gaming Gear

Does the image above remind you of this past New Year's morning? Have you made a resolution to get back in shape this year? The press loves to talk about a Wii Workout as if all it takes is a shudder of the Wiimote to make a gamer's gut melt into nothingness, which isn't true. I don't know many other gamers that would willingly leave the house or spend money on a gym membership, either, though. So here's a real workout built around only gaming and gaming hardware you already own, developed with the consultation of a professionally certified personal trainer (me). Happy sweating, tubby!

Dog Beats Man at Wii Boxing

We were a bit puzzled when this wonder dog beat a man at Wii Tennis, but after watching him beat another guy at Wii Boxing, we're completely confounded. Is it really a dog playing Wii? The Wiimotes are strapped to his arms and he's moving them in time, and the arms seem to be attached to his body, but there's no way he can actually be playing boxing. We need to lie down. – Jason Chen More »

Telephoneboxing

In a world filled with small cell phones it is good to see a big-ass phone. This phone is the size of a 20-foot room, and even requires boxing gloves. Large buttons are placed around the room and dialing is done by punching the buttons. Once the dialing is completed communication is done by standing in a specific area of the telephone-boxing booth and shouting at a speakerphone. This project was designed by Allard Roeterink. More »
