A DDR Miracle on 4th and 2nd

I should mention that there are plenty of problems with this game's execution. I should also mention that I've dealt out my fair share jokes at the expense of the DDR hardcore. However, I found that all of these concerns and preconceptions vanished as I put on my best tracksuit and tore open the packaging. It was a night of lessons as I learned that you could indeed bring the funk to right angled steps. I also learned that that DDR is exponentially more interesting with ridiculous clothing on, a realization that finally addressed my longstanding puzzlement at the obsession with parachute pants. But mostly I learned that serendipity comes in many forms, not the least of which is dancing in a square to the beat of rawkus Japanese club music.

Ahhhaha brilliant! I like your headband.

The sad part is that trying to look cool and not at all geeky by doing crazy dance moves on a plastic pad has been superceded by trying to look cool and not at all geeky by doing crazy pseudo riffs on a plastic guitar.

But I bet the parachute pants are still there.

I liked DDR, and played regularly for a while. I was decent - your run of the mill "Normal" player, who could impress a room full of DDR-ignorant folks or young children.

Good to see you got some mileage out of someone else's trash.

Expect the sequel to this post in five years, when I find a guitar hero bundle on the ground somewhere.

Aw lucky! It was too expensive back in the day! I remember having to beg and beg and BEG FOR IT.

Now the good pads (for me they were red Octane pads) aren't even sold anymore *sad face*
