Welcome to Gaia! ::

I once saw this girl (about 12) playiong and arms up at her chest, she was standing in the middle and she got 1 step

also there was one time there were this other girl play (bout 17) and she tries a easy beginer and missed every single step and just cause she lost she gets mad and starts saying "this games is retarde" since she left with two turns left I took them and she is standing right be hind me as I finish a song and has the audasidy to say "was a freaking dumbass you actually play this game" I turn around and say "yeah, but it sucks that itdiot like you hate this game BECAUSE you suck at it"

Man... I hate it when people are like that. I woulda been like... "Yeah, I suck cause I play, and what about you who put your money in to play it?"
She'd be basically insulting herself that way.
Or, I'd just go "Yeah, well YOUR MOTHER!!", which is probably more like me to do anyway... sweatdrop

There was this girl in one of my classes who was talking about DDR and how 'people who play it look like this! *gets up and stomps around randomly all over the place*' Which she said, knowing I played it (the topic of DDR came up when someone noticed my DDR messenger bag I made in FACS class). I don't have a problem with the girl, in fact, I think she's a rather funny person; but I said "No, no. See, that's how the people who don't know how to play it play." Implying that she really didn't know how true DDR players play anyway, so she shouldn't be talking. 3nodding

DDR has to be the first thing I was good at. So when some one implies that it is a waste of time, I politely inform them that while they may need the IQ of a gym sock to watch some one be better at some thing and then insult them, it takes alot of effort and dedication to be good at DDR.

One time I was playing at a setup in an electronics store and I was playing against an asian guy that was about 15 or 16 tops. We were playing extasy (which I had kind of memorized the steps on heavy). Two black guys were watching us and in the middle of the song I heard one of them say "aw s**t, 10 bucks on the white girl!" We had some laughs and my dad told me to stop taking their lunch money. All in all it was a good day.

I saw this one kid, i forget how old he was (maybe about 14?) Who kept bragging about how good he was on DDR. He kept complaining that DDR was way too easy for him. It was really getting annoying. I finally got fed up and told him to prove it. It was then, and only then, that he finally admitted that it was the computer version, and he used the keyboard. On the real game, he couldn't even pass .51 on beginner...

wow, that sucks

Hahah those are awesome stories.

One time, at Cedar Point, I was playing Rythem and Police on standard, and I was doing ok.. it was pretty much the first time I'd played on the actual arade thing...

So anyway, apparently some guys walked by, watched me for a sec, and said, "lets do that!" And my turn ends, and we are walking by the two guys... and they are doing horrible at beginner.. I thought it was funny.

Then of course there was when one of my best friends started playing and she was on beginner... two songs in and she's on the floor gasping for breath... hehehe.

The most noobish thing I've ever seen actually happened with people who were older and better at the game than me. My friend and I walk into the arcade and a couple of girls are finishing up on standard mode. but Then there boyfriends get up to play and they set it to light mode and decide there're going to freestyle. So they get behind the bar and jump over it to hit the first jump on the song and miss! Then they were stomping the buttons really hard (they bent there knees to a right angle almost) and turning circles and stuff, they looked like a couple of asses. When they did about two songs like that they turned it to challenge and did a really hard song and the one dude starts screaming "whooo whoo whoo whooo" along with the song. After that my friend and I played, I wish I could say we stomped them, but at least we didn't look like retarded monkys.

I was pretty n00bly the first time I played DDR, it was one of the first machines I think (I don't remember it was forever ago) and it didn't have a begginer mode so I picked light mode along with my cousin I think we only hit like five and we failed the first song, I thought the game was just too hard and confusing, I didn't realize you were suppossed to hit the button when they got to the top of the screen.

N00bs are funny. I do try to help them out, if I can. My girlfriend is actually still on Beginner, and I try to help her out. It's nice to be with someone that shares a lot of the same interests as you, but I do feel kind of like I'm just showing off (in a bad way) when I'm AA'ing Heavy songs and she has a hard time passing Light songs... cry
