Welcome to Gaia! ::

DDR rocks heart heart

There are alot of spin-offs of DDR (dance dance revolution) so make sure your getting the true version of it. Look at the manufactorer and make sure its made by Konami. Theres alot of once with 5+ steps, but DDR only has 4 (up, down, left, right) For the love of a non-Judieo-Christian god I cannot dance, so I have to stick with the controller and play on my brothers PS, or PS2. I haven't heard of a plug-in DDR thing, so it they have released it- its going to be for Japan. I believe Japan uses a PAL system, so it won't work with your tv unless its PAL compatible. Also when you play it, stick with 2 or 3 steps first. And if you are able to get the real DDR if you hit select or pause (not sure with what your getting) a list of options will pop up and put it on small or baby or something named like that, I haven't done that in a while so I forget what exactly its called.
If you are able to get a playstation one, or playstation as there a whole lot cheaper, get DDR and DDR Konami remix (or its konamix, I'm too lazy to go and look at the box)

As for actually playing- The over's (left and right at the same time) might be a little tricky to get down but keep on practicing and the across's (up and down at the same time) will need the same amount of work. But working at lower step songs, you should gradually get it. Also if you don't play an instrument/sing/are able to pick up a beat, it might be ALOT harder. Be careful of staggard steps (I want to call them flams because I'm a drummer but thats not right) becasue the over and across's will look like over and across's but they won't be. That was kind of confusing, but when you see them you'll know what I mean.
And don't get stressed over not getting A's on songs, you can only get A's by only getting perfects or greats, so the whole song you cannot miss a step. I've only gotten about 7 or 8 As myself, but thats after playing for a few years and on a controller, on a dance pad- I'd be getting D's and failing. I've only known one person to get AAA's (only perfects) and it was my brothers friend who grew up with DDR machines and owned at playing them.



And if you want to get into dancing/beat games, you might want to try Space Channel 5, or atleast tell your friend about it. Its really addictive, but the original Dreamcast version of it is like shell-shaded but its not I think the background doesn't move but the characters do? I haven't played more than 5 minutes of it becasue it hurts my eyes. But the PS2 spacechannle 5 game is really addictive becasue it has alot of things that are hidden that you have to unlock by getting 100% on levels.

My dad doesn't like the fact that we play video games, but my brothers usually pay for half of the price. One of my brothers has ADD so it actually helps him if he plays video games. I don't play them that much other than DDR, and a few other games I can set down for a few months and be able to come back and play.

I my school had a marching band I would be in it. My friend whos in the marching band at the high school I would have gone to if I hadn't moved, said they've been marching from after school till 7/8 at nights most of the weeks. I wish I still lived in Florida, becasue I would have gotten into shape marching (drums and stuff really heavy) but now I'm just a lazy bum reading and playing on the internet

Reminds me of Alaska a bit, lol, but my dad was in the military so we used to move around alot so I never really had friends that lived near me that I could go outside and play with. Video games have actually become an addiction to my brothers. I just can't see how they can sit there all day, I have to get up and do something other than playing video games, even if its watching TV. I've gotten into music alot, so I usually listen to my cd player and stare at the TV, iPods and Mp3 players cost too much money.
If you do buy a PS2 just make sure your not getting ripped off and memory cards for the PS2 are really expensive. 2 brand new memory cards can cost up to 40-50 dollars.

What's roadrunner?

I don't think I'd have enough songs to put on an iPod though, maybe about 500 songs. I'm just into a few certain bands and I could listen to them on end and not care. I can only watch movies I really like over and over, others wise seeing the movie about once every few months is okay. The only movie's I could actually watch alot would be Phantom of the Opera or Finding Nemo maybe.
I took a look at the memory cards, and my brother bought the same ones about a year or so ago, and he payed about 45 dollars for it I think, so if you buy them for the price listed (19.99) and the 3 dollar shipping and handling it's an okay price. Used one's were going for 14 dollars at the mall when my brother last checked about november-ish. Memory sticks for PSP's though cost a s**t load of money, up into the hundreds and stuff. What sorts of games are coming with the PS2?


So its like DSL then? I think my friend might actually have that, because when I called him one day he was upset that he could be on the internet and talk to me because the cable company was messing with the line and fixing it becasue a tropical storm had come through. He lives on a golf course which floods really easily too

All I know is that DSL is faster and doesn't tie up the phone line.

I detest my english teacher, theres no way I would be in her room other than for class or to pick up some papers. But we're doing this Caesar thing in class right now, which I have no clue ties into Odysseus, other than we talked about it at the begging of the year.

My ddr finally came the other day. My mom played it, and she was really bad...And then she was watching me, and she was like how do you do that? I didnt miss that many! It was pretty funny.

Thats what Ive been trying to do. After I realized that I didnt have to go back to the center after each step and just leave my foot on the last arrow its alot easier. Ive been slowly raising the difficulty as I play. The next time I go over to Robs house I guess Ill play with him and his stinkin' metal arcade style pad, the spoiled little brat... stare Lol.
