Ddr @ Fbl-6

[GeeDee]

Having read Rocketknights excellent DDR faq, I decided that FBL should invest in some DDR mats and kit so we can have some fun competitions of Dance Dance Revolution at the LAN.

Therefore I have now ordered some Playsation --> USB convertors from lik-sang in Hong Kong and we are going to buy some dance mats in Game next week.

Sooo, I hope you are all up for some PC DDR pleasure at FBL-6!

Comments here please.

:D :D

Geeks can't dance. and DDR proves this again and again.

I shall be abstaining.

[GeeDee]

We'll see Chris. You will be persuaded!

[Boffykins]

Well, yeah, we can resort to that

[GeeDee]

Dance, or face the consequences

[Boffykins]

Around 2gigs of DDR songs. RARred. More when uncompressed. Downloaded to my computer. You will dance, and what's more, you WILL enjoy it.

maybe I should just attend to deflate heads :p:

the weekend's free after school, so if I can get a lift there/back I may just attend :)

[Boffykins]

Minge isn't coming, so we're gonna need a different lanky streak of piss. D0c, you're up :)

[Brains-Lans]

Well I think this dancing thing could be helped by a few drinks first....

[Cheez]

Free Bar! :D

[Boffykins]

Really Chris? That's very generous of you, thanks!

[MudBlud]

cool.

really?

[Boffykins]

I'll let Cheez answer that one :)

Knowing him, it would be stocked to the brim with Smirnoff :)

[MudBlud]

:) he got really pissed off the other nite when i said he always had a bottle in his hand... dunno y

[Boffykins]

The truth hurts...

[Bob^^]

D0c i should be attending if you need a lift down, as ming is not going there will be room from stratford by the looks of it!

lemme know

[D0c]

Thanks bob, would have taken the offer but the DO's just gone and moved the drill comp dates from the 2nd to the 9th, therefore no FBL for me this time due to needing the weekend for final prep etc :(

[Boffykins]

Which also means we only get get one night (Friday) of Jaylove

[Mingtea]

I had a brainstorm, if work's new system lets me get an appropriate weekend off, i'll attend, that is if bob can take me.

See we now have a system that schedules you, as opposed to the managers doing it.

plus i need to pick up some stuff ;)

You may have your lanky streak of cum after all.

[GeeDee]

:eek:

0mg

minge-eater. DO arrange it thx!

:D

-GeeDee-

[Mingtea]

Well i may have a very important occasion that i have to attend if you get me.

[GeeDee]

The PS ---> USB convertors have now arrived from hong-kong, we have bought the dance mats and stepmania is running nicely with a 400+ song bank!

BRING ON THE DDR!!!

:D :D :D :D :D

-GeeDee-

[RocketKnight]

Well played. Plenty of AVIs please, someone take a video camera!

[GeeDee]

hehe, i'll see what I can do!

Those convertors rock rocketknight. great advice on em! DDR is so damn addictive! Great fun!

rar

:D

-GeeDee-

[D0c]

contrary to belief, I've never played DDR (with a mat anyway) on PC.. must aquire the song data somehow...

gah i need more LAN DDR or everyone will start to become good :D

[GeeDee]

I've got a B with the mat so far!

Not too bad, considering i've never played before. :)

:D

[RocketKnight]

D0c, you've never played LAN DDR? You've missed out, sadly the UK version of DDR for the Playstation was rubbish, really tame songs and lots of European nonsense (namely Boyzone). Japanese mixes are made of WIN, plus the custom ones are pretty extreme. I find some of them are too difficult even if I use my fingers on a keyboard to play. Good fun!

And GeeDee, what mode of play is the B scored in? If you press up and down when selecting a song, the difficulty changes. Green being the most difficult, yellow being easiest. I forget the exact names of the difficulties, it varies from mix to mix.

[Boffykins]

*cough* 537 now...

Yeah, I worked that out when i ended up on hard about the second time I tried it!

It was on easiest mode, on all the default speed settings. :eek:

Ah well, i'm improving! :D

-GeeDee-

[D0c]

RocketKnight: Yeah, I know, but there are a couple of good tracks hidden in the PSX versions (Paranoia, Afronova, [must try Afronoia one day] and Dynamite Rave on the Euromix, suprisingly a good few in the Party one after you unlock them through the crap ones)

And the difficulty levels I've seen are either beginner/standard/difficult/expert (blue, yellow, red, green) or basic/trick/maniac (yellow, red, green)

[RocketKnight]

Speaking of Dancing Stage Party, Konami just rereleased it after recalling the first batch because of major bugs. Apparently they had faulty test PSXs over at HQ. And I bet HMV won't let me exchange the broken one for a new one. :p:

[GeeDee]

heh. You really need to come to FBL-6 RocketKnight!!

And my sister got a AA today. I'm really annoyed! Ok. so it was on Kick the Can, a nice easy song - but still! :mad:

rar.

:)

-GeeDee-

[RocketKnight]

Most kind GeeDee, and I know I'd enjoy it as well, but sadly I'm at college and I find it hard enough to make time for i-series and StratLANs as it is.
And as for Kick the Can, get her on Max300 and watch her suffer. :p:

[Boffykins]

Max 300 is just disgustingly hard

[GeeDee]

lol, yes it is! I'm having trouble clearing 2 Unlimited; No limit as it is!!

I'll beat max300 eventually!

:D

-GeeDee-

[Boffykins]

The day you clear Max 300 is the day Satan dons Ice Skates

[Brains-Lans]

I will hold GeeDees video camera.
I have experiance of bouncing from wall to wall......

Drink = GOOD!

[RocketKnight]

I can clear Max300 on the arcade machine in maniac with a level D. But I've only tried the once and I find the mats too inaccurate and prone to slipping to do any better at home. I'd keep trying it but the damn arcade machine is an hours drive away because Cambridge sucks and has no DDR machines. :p:

[Boffykins]

OMG!!! HOW did you manage to do that? It is just impossible
I struggle on some of the easy ones ffs!
