Um, so, does anyone else have
Nike+ so I can add them to my list, or am I the only loser? LOL. God, I love stupid technology...
So, it's no secret that I am highly susceptible to addiction. No, I’m not talking about drugs (legal or otherwise), smoking or alcohol; I’m talking about simpler things, things easily stoppable with enough willpower. I’ve gone through things like sodas (my only Coke addiction, hehe), fast food,
MMORPGs (Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, Flyff), video games in general, ETC. I’m also a stat addict…
WTF is a stat addict? Well, it’s probably the OCD in me, but I like numbers. I mean look at my hockey website. It’s mostly numbers and figures and junk. I like having stats, how many of this and that or whatnot. So, add stats to a life situation, it’s a live action MMO. So, what is it that makes me addicted to MMORPGs? It’s the strive to make ones stat better than another or one’s self; which is why I also like the Battlefield PC series where I can record how many kills, heals, revives, repairs and more just to make my rank higher. Enter Nike+.
You’re probably asking yourself, what does videogames, stats and Nike have to do with each other? Probably not, but I’ll tell you anyway. Nike+ is big program where you have to have Nike+ shoes (duh… But I think they SHOULD be “+” cause if not, I’m not sure where you can put the sensor…), iPod Nano (YES, Nano, this will NOT work with any other iPod. At least not at this time. Curse it, ‘cause I have to go out and get a Nano now, I already have a 4GB Mini and a 30GB Video…), the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, a computer with iTunes (duh, if you have an iPod you probably already do),
and the will to run.
And with that long run-on sentence I’ll reiterate simply with, it’s a stat program that makes me WANT to run! That’s always a good thing. So, I’m probably gonna give myself a good month before I get bored, and forget I have $100 running Nikes, $40 Sport Kit, $150 Nano and start playing more BF2142 and work out those stats… LOL I hope not.
So here’s my request to YOU: If you have a Nano (or if you don’t GET ONE) and a pair Nike+, go get the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, and start running with me (online of course) and actually FINISH that New Year’s Resolution you make 3 years ago… (note: Adam doesn’t ever make resolutions, but does hope to lose more weight and get a little tone back)
