Hey Hamster, is there any room in that wheel for me? What’s that you say? I’m too large and obese! well not anymore! The good people at virtusphere have developed a giant hamster-ball that converts your uncoordinated movements and sluggish pace into a video game. As such it is the largest peripheral thus far and can also make you look undesirable to women.

The Sphere is placed on a platform that allows it to twist and turn freely based on your movements within it. You then wear a pair of goggles and a fake gun which trick you into thinking that you are in the game! Thus pushing you one step further from your crappy life.

Problem 1: The majority of people do not want to turn their couch warfare into actual sweaty work where they may have to circulate blood to their extremities.

Problem 2: This sphere is gigantic and when your friends come over and ask you what the giant ball is for you can proudly lie and say… Wait there is no way to explain this awful spherical gargoyle.

Problem 3: This looks like an easy way to hurt yourself. Running in a ball which has any weight whatsoever will make it difficult to accelerate and decelerate. So not only will you not be able to successfully use said device with any success due to your extreme obesity. But you will probably hurt yourself and due to problem 2 you will never be able to explain said injury.

Conclusion, save your money and join the army. The food is good and they give you real guns.
