BAIT Makes You Run From Monsters in Real Life

[Jaranja]

Hmm, useful, especially since I sometimes think I'm being chased by monsters anyway.

I'll wait until about twilight then put this on and run.

Question: How many people playing this game are gonna get picked up by the cops?

Cop, "Where's the fire son?"
Kid, "Oh, I'm just running from radioactive monsters."
[awkward pause]
Cop, "You have the right to remain silent..."

Alternate ending:

Cop, "Where's the fire son?"
Kid, "Oh, I'm just running from radioactive monsters."
[awkward pause]
Cop, "How would you like a free trip to the Happy Farm?"
Kid, "Really, awesome, when can I go?"
Cop, "Right now, just get in the back seat of my car, oh, and don't forget to put these handc... uh.., shiny wristbands on."
Kid, "Oh boy, I'm ready to go!"
Cop, "Great, off to the Happy Farm we go."

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

One way to practice for the zombie apocalypse...

Damn right:

This would really work on me to keep me running once I boot it up. Not sure if the appeal would hold for too many runs though.

This looks awesome, I would totally use it if they made it for real. And if your workout seems boring, then you are doing something wrong... a workout needs to be dynamic and invigorating, or else it's just a routine.

Reminds me a bit of a demo I saw at NextFest 2006 which is now an iPhone app.

Oh god, my imagination would get the better of me and I'd be screaming bloody murder down the street.

But hell, maybe that's what I need. Running for your life is the best exercise you can get, right?

 

[GamerLuck]

I'd use this as an excuse to get in shape... probably go ahead and learn parkour like I've wanted too while I'm at it. Too bad i don't have a phone able to run this.

Ha, yeah, I had considered adding in the Cardio bit.

Zombieland is a great movie.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

My dream come true.

 

[twaddle]

Well i think this is a good idea. now add some graphics to it for the menu and a few other dodads.

I'm just wondering where you live that cops stop people for just running. Heck, if athletic people were arrested for running, the jails would be full of millions upon millions of people that run daily.

Hmm, this would be interesting, if I had technology to support it.

 

[FortheLegion]

Do want. Way to add to the excitement of a normal workout routine.

I feel like this is more of a gym treadmill kind of thing though. It might be a bit awkward running full pelt down a public street trying to get away from monsters. That's what Parkour's for

But I NEED THIS NOW!!! Really, whoever thought this up deserves a medal or two.

I don't think it would work on a treadmill. It uses GPS to determine your speed.

you could beat the game by playing it on a bike

edit: Or a car!

Theres a big difference between running for excercise and running away from something. People tend to get suspicious, hence the situation I presented.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

You know what would make this game all the more cooler. If you could switch the scenarios it presents. After you gain enough points, you could unlock things like "Zombie Apocalypse", "Godzilla Attack" or "Manhunt Mode". That would be sweet! Get all the sound effects in there. An epic score. Yeah. That be awesome.

 

[JS ibanez]

This would make my parkour sessions just a little bit more exciting Really like this concept

My point I give to answer is, the person running with this BAIT thing on their phone or whatever, will have earphones in, so it will just look like someone out for a run listening to music.
