Addicting running game

I have no idea how to do this successfully, but its strangely addicting (and running-related...)

Andrew Jaffe said...: yeah, me neither, my best is like 2 or 3 meters.; February 21, 2011 at 11:05 AM
Dart said...: -0.7 meters; February 21, 2011 at 12:52 PM
scotty doesn't know said...: ok, so i know this is way too anatomically-nerdy for most of you (nor will you care) - BUT, patty and i have broken down the mechanics of the QWOPian's gait -

Q and W don't represent thighs, they rep hip flexion

O and P aren't calves, they're knee flexion

you need knee flexion as you begin hip flexion at the beginning of each stride - so...

8.2 meters run so far - BOOM BABY! :); February 21, 2011 at 9:35 PM
BG said...: I made it to -2.8m, which is probably more impressive than my forward record. Figures.

Did you guys know there's a wall behind the runner? Maybe at -3.5m or so?; February 22, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Collin said...: I just spent 20 minutes playing it and hit 11.1. Woot.; February 22, 2011 at 12:46 PM
Meg said...: wow. I'm not addicted at all. i fell on my face twice and then got bored.; February 22, 2011 at 4:17 PM
BG said...: I'm not addicted, either. I can stop whenever I want to. I just don't want to right now.

Also, when I click on the link above, it doesn't take me to a running game. It's actually a diving, head-first quintuple jump game.; February 22, 2011 at 6:48 PM
Unknown said...: This game would be more exciting if the guy had a gun and you could go around shooting people.; February 22, 2011 at 8:32 PM
RM said...: Whoa, Joel - let's calm down for a second.

Let's replace the word "gun" with "flowers" and the action of "shooting" with "hugging"

"This game would be more exciting if the guy had [flowers] and you could go around [hugging] people.

Sounds much better.; February 22, 2011 at 9:26 PM
Dart said...: Elf & Hollywood just bloghugged it out; February 23, 2011 at 12:17 PM
Unknown said...: I have an idea for a game: you sing karaoke (kind of like guitar hero), and then you run around Hamden looking for Lake Trout, while avoiding guys trying to mug you. THEN, you give out flowers and hugs.

By the way...apology accepted.; February 26, 2011 at 2:12 PM
