Let's all do Pushups in Preparation for Twelve Sky

Over the weekend some of my colleagues and I treated some business partners from overseas to dinner downtown. It was a good meal and we stayed there late until they closed. We ordered a lot of drinks while we were there and talked for a long time. After the place was closed, we walked a little ways to another place to have another drink until they were closed too.

Afterwards we spent a few minutes outside while we continued to talk. Then at one point one of our overseas business partners must have been really pumped up because he wanted everyone to do 20 pushups, one after another. Now I'm sure most people reading this are probably thinking to themselves that 20 pushups is no sweat. I don't disagree, I don't care for pushups, but I figured it wouldn't be too bad. I'll point out though that I haven't done any serious pushups since I was in school, and I already had a bit to drink that night. So when it was my turn, I tried to do them as quickly as I could to get them over with. I probably got through the first 10 or so without any problem. After that I noticed they weren't as easy. Each one I did was being counted out loud, so I couldn't stop early. I think when I got to 18 or 19 and began looking forward to finishing. By 20 I was just happy to be done so I pretty much just started to relax. Problem was this caused me to start to fall over. Luckily someone was there to catch me.

I got home pretty late that night and slept in the next day. After waking up, my arms felt a little sore and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. Looking back the experience was kind of funny :P

So other than the fact that Twelve Sky contains drinking, what what does this have to do with the game? Well, not a lot to be honest, but it does give me an idea. A lot of people have posted in the forums that they are eager to begin playing Twelve Sky. If you are one of these people, then give this a try. Everytime you feel anxious for the Twelve Sky beta to start I want you to do twenty pushups. If afterwards you still feel the same way, then try doing twenty more. Eventually you may begin to get tired and the thought of doing anything other than pushups will become more appealing. Give this a try and let me know if this technique works for you.

Or if you're like me and pushups isn't your thing, go sign up for the Twelve Sky beta. All that is required is an Aeria Games account and answering a few simple questions. Believe me, it's much easier than doing pushups :)
