I'm glad that im not the only one that thought about the paint shacker thing.

The Escapist Presents: Pokewalking with The Escapist
- Thread starter Team Hollywood
- Start date
Has anyone tried attaching a pokewalker to the end of a string and practicing raving with it (glowstick tricks)? Granted you'd have to be careful not to smash it to bits, but it seems like that would get a bunch of steps

Hahahaha. Pokemon don't evolve, learn moves, or get EV's in the pokewalker. Nice GUYRADOS.
About the way to pronounce it, it's Gair-uh-dose. Or at least that's how my friends and I pronounce it.
My methods of getting steps;
-Actually walking. An hour or two spent out walking somewhere can net you 10k+ steps. I first kept it in my pocket and it was pretty effective, moreso when I tried attaching it to a strap on the side of my pants, and best when attached to my shoelaces.
-Attached to the strap on the side of my pants while playing drums on Rock Band 2. It'd probably be more effective on one's wrists though. Unless you play a lot of extreme metal on it. I've gotten thousands of steps from continuous play.
-Moving one's leg up and down with it attached to the strap on the side of your pants, or in the pocket of the mobile leg (preferably the extra pocket in cargo pants). I've gotten over 10k steps doing this for about an hour at school.

Damn I was seriously hoping that the escapist was an idea set in the mind of a video gamer in the future.Virgil said:We have an office in one of the corners of one of the floors of that building. The whole thing isn't oursThe Rockerfly said:
Symantec has the entire first floor though.
I suppose the building will have to do for the time
My friend put it in a plastic bag and into a loaded washing machine, and it actually worked really well.
Also, the Escapist headquarters seems really big.

Me and my friends had pedometers once for some stupid reason in school and we clipped them to the side of our shoes by the ankle and tapped our feet while we worked. The incessant clicking drove our teacher nuts but it worked a lot better than taping it to the bridge of that dude's foot seemed to.
He's a mix, from what we can tell yellow lab and hound-ish, but until I get the DNA test won't know for sure.Flamestorm06 said:
To people who are asking why the Pokewalker is black: press copies of the game came with a nice little holder with the Silver or Gold cover pokemon drawn on it.
Ah, something I wanted to do last Saturday but lacked tape. Tape the pokewalker to the side of your leg, then go have some fun with DDR.
Step #7: Assemble a Lego Mindstorms robot that will move the Pokewalker back and forth. Tape the Pokewalker on and turn the robot on. With my own Mindstorms kit averaging at about 70-150 RPM, you should get some good results. Note: For added fun use solar panels. Teehee
what i do with mine is i have a strap on it and just spin it around. that gets the job done pretty well.
This is the single greatest use for Jordan Deam I've seen in a long time, ever since November 09's Make Jordan Look Even CREEPIER [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.156681-Soap-MacTavish-Undergoes-Facial-Reconstructive-Surgery#3860188] Contest. But, even then, it's still not as effective as taping it to a car's windscreen wipers.Shamus Young said:
Another reason for me to get a car sooner... as well as a Pokewalker... Bit redundant otherwise.
I'm personally in college right now, and I keep it attached to me as I go between classes. Without any additional shaking, I easily get the recommended 10000 steps a day (200 days of 10000 steps gets you the final route, as long as you don't spend ANY of the watts you get other than the gifts you receive)
Hmmm, I've been playing the game a lot, and I walk for 30 mins every day, I really should be utilizing this.
