Yesterday was awesome. Fridays are the absolute best because I'm waiting in 5th period for it to be 6th, and waiting in 6th to be 7th, and waiting in 7th for school to let out so I can go with Aaron to VCC and play DDR (The modded Stepmania machine inside a DDR Extreme dedicated cabinet). When we got there we noticed the ITG2 machine's CRT display monitor's colors were actually fixed. It was all green and looked pissed on, but Fun 'n' Games actually hired someone to fix it! This was long overdue, so we tried it as soon as we got there. We put our 8 tokens in and it just shut down. Neh, so much for that. So the rest of our evening was spent on the Stepmania machine with much more variety of songs. The only thing I think is a downfall about the Stepmania machine is that you can get high scores for No Mines and C500. I guess it's fine with me, but the scores on there don't even compare to the ones on the ITG machine. Even though there are a lot more custom songs on the Stepmania machine, and it can handle a handy USB flash drive, the ITG scoring always seemed a little more difficult. There's 99's all over the high scores. I think the Stepmania machine's records were cleared recently, and that may be why the scores aren't as good as the ITG scores. Other than that, we clocked in at least 2000 calories on our USB's and stayed for around 5 hours. I failed at the Beatmania machine as usual, and lost on match 1 on Soul Calibur 2. I accidently did Expert on Wave Racer... =.=; YEAH... so other than that, DDR is a really great game that gives you excercises and additional strain on your leg bones :D! Oh yeah, the fan was broken and the air conditioning was messed up so we opened the exit door in the back to cool us off, and it seemed pretty efficient. I guess my highlights of the day was ALMOST passing Determinator. I feel like I've got that one in the bag. I can't pass most 12 footers, but that one has such clean bursts of triplets that I feel I can. I can pass Vertex with no mines, but that's no challenge. I think Monolith should be a 12 just because I can't pass it xD. Well, that's all for now! I'll post another one next week!
