Two players level without a keyboard

Most players reach level 60 in World of Warcraft: Forever from a desk chair. Two creators do it the hard way. One walks every step on a treadmill, the other plays a Hunter with his whole body.

Walking to 60

Big Guy Grind takes the word walkthrough literally. He walks on a treadmill while his character moves at roleplay walking speed, and he counts every step to level 60. In the modern game, reaching max level took him 433,000 steps. His viewers estimate Forever may take up to 2 million.

A Hunter who draws his bow

VanityProjects controls his Hunter with motion capture, without mouse or keyboard. To run, he runs on the spot. To shoot, he makes the motion of drawing a bow. He even took the setup to a PvP ruleset and beat another player in a duel.
