So apparently guys lose there FFR/Stepmania skills, and the ability to vibrate after the age of 39.

crap i only have 19 years left

Quigly · 10-19-2008, 08:43 PM

I have 25 haha.

**foilman8805** · 10-19-2008, 08:44 PM

I wonder if consistently playing FFR/SM for as long as you live has any counter effects to this...?

I will be ****ing pissed if I turn 40 and all of the sudden I can't even AAA Power.

I was thinking that too, Foil. There has to be. It's like if you exercise your whole life you're healthier. So, if you play your whole life you'll be as good (minus the obvious factors of old age and stuff).

It's okay, I'm sure I won't be doing anything requiring fast reactions, vibrating, etc. at that time. And anyone who plans to continue playing this his or her whole life needs a new life; everybody has to quit at some point.

i'm sure you can counter it or atleast slow down the process. same way playing brain age can counter you from getting the dumb.

Tater Tot · 10-19-2008, 08:57 PM

Damn these scientists always trying to bring us down! I'm sick of being told I won't be able to do things when I'm older! I already know for a fact that when I'm 39 I'll be a cyborg with hydraulic limbs that run off a self perpetuating motor. This is bullsh*t.

It probably does, to some extent. Like delaying the effects by a few years or so.

Yeah, but there still has to be some cutoff point. Although I'd love to grow old and be, like, talking to my grandkids...

Me: "Eh, what that game yer playin, sonny?"
Grandkid: "It's called FFR. I'm crunkity-diddlin' sweet at it." (Or whatever the young kids are sayin' in however many decades...)
Me: "Oh, I remember that from back in the day... D'ya mind if I give it a try?"
Grandkid: "Pfft. Okay."

-looks through song list-

Me: "Mmm... this looks like a fun song!"
Grandkid: "That's Strangeprogram, gramps. That's really hard. You should try something easier."
Me: "Oh, fiddlesticks and poppycock."

-song loads-

Me: "Here we go!!!"
Grandkid: "Pfft. Don't hurt yourself."

-a firestorm of awesome-

Me: "Hey look! All perfects! Is that good?"
Grandkid: -look of shock and awe-

Then I call him a n00b and teabag him.

The future will be crunkity-diddlin' sweet.

Obviously people will deteriorate over time with their coordination and reflexes. Maybe you'll be able to improve the mental aspect of it, but physically eventually everyone will indeed hit their peak.

**sumzup** · 10-19-2008, 10:19 PM

If playing FFR/SM does indeed lead to delayed breakdown of reactions, I wonder if that in turn leads to delayed brain aging/myelin deterioration. ... o wait; FFR can cure Alzheimer's! *cha-ching*

Sorry, what?
So I need to find a man under 20 years older, huh?
Hot.

Crashfan3 · 10-20-2008, 01:18 PM

Who cares. 40 is when your life is officially over anyway.
