NASA will pay you $18,000 to play MKX for 70 days

[DownfouralitY]

Voted yeah before I read that article lol. But not being able to do anything and lose muscle and more? Blah. Not worth it.

same. fuck that shit

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

The study says they have both an exercising and non exercising group.

I'll do it if I can be in the exercising group. I'll do that all day (for 70 days)

 

[Mr. Mileena]

No, I don't wanna lose my butt.

 

[Eji1700]

Meh i'd give it a shot

 

[Flagg]

@Flagg, are you really considering dying? dude, this is a nou gou

Sorry I voted yes on a whim as I was on my phone and didn't see the terms. All I saw was making 18,000 dollars for 2 months and 10 days work.

Are we talking controversial, Clock Work Orange style brain washing?

Either way, I know some great solo cardio exercises you can do in bed anyway m8

naw i'm sayin?

 

[Flagg]

Okay just read the terms. Hmm, I'm a pretty active guy goes to gym a lot and plays sports. That would be hard to lose that,but if you could at least keep your mind stimulated it wouldn't be so bad. Its not like you couldn't get back into shape again.

I could've sworn there was an episode on 1000 ways to die where some 16 year old boy (skinny nerdy kid) was gaming straight for a few days straight, maybe a week, and when he got up from his seat he had an instant stroke and died. But the difference there was that the kid wasn't sleeping and even getting up to use the bathroom, he used empty water gallon bottles, ate chips and ordered pizza.. the food was brought to him by his mom, so he didn't even get up for anything.

 

[DarksydeDash]

I would maybe get a day in then crash xD

 

[PainForge]

In all seriousness though, gamers in general really need to be more health conscious about diet, sleep and exercise. It's easy to get into the habit of gorging on greasy foods, staying up late, and having long play marathons with no movement in between game sessions.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Sign me up. I'll make the sacrifice to help mankind.

 

[WayoftheFist]

I think some people saying yes might not realize how infuriating it would get to not be able to really move around for that period of time. Even if it was fun at first within a week you would be thinking "for fucks sake can I at least walk somewhere?" Might not be as bad for the exercising group though

 

[trustinme]

I don't know what you're all complaining about.i know u all lay in bed wanking off into your cardboard bed sheets playing injustice all day so u should get on the phone to NASA,get paid for your daily routine and enjoy yourself.

Exactly.

As I'm sure the study is, I'm curious about that myself. Would the act of not walking around, or doing other exercises you can't do in bed for that time period, cause any future problems?

 

[Prinz]

As what the article is concerned, in 70 days I can earn these money moving, so I see no point in taking part in their experiment.
But to play MKX for 70 days before release, and get payed? Hell yeah! I wish I played MK9 before release and felt the brokeness that Jade was supposed to be

 

[DanCock]

I applied for this last week lol

 

[trustinme]

It should be 70k for 18 days.

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

It's 18,000 dollars. That's not even that much if you really think about it. For all the health issues you'll face for it, 18,000 will go to fixing your health problems.

I don't know man. That's a lotta tacos and strip clubs down here.

 

[rev0lver]

Gross...just get a regular job and you will get paid way more than this and can still play MK and not be super lazy

can you get me a job that pays $1200 a week?

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

What would essentially amount to a 6 figure salary (were it year-long) to put your body under some duress from inactivity but otherwise remain relatively unstressed for a couple months, all to help progress mankind's space travel aspirations doesn't sound like an obvious "hell no" to me.

 

[HellblazerHawkman]

Couldn't they just talk to WoW players to get the same results?

 

[Eldriken]

It's the

It's the muscle atrophy that makes me not want to do it. No thanks.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

Can't you do workouts with resistance bands while being in space? It might not put as much resistance on you as gravity would but its a workout right?

 

[Bar_Bar13]

It's basically living torture lol

But most importantly, your fap sessions will be monitored for 70 days.
