Chardish's wonderful adventure setting up and playing ITG2

[fusi0n]

I remember seeing that red-headed gir, the dude right below her I think, and that big guy on the machine to the left in this pic down here in Indy. Were there no ITG2 machines in Ohio prior to this one? That's the only reason I can think of for their driving over here.

[talisman]

yeah there were two ITG machines (one in columbus one in cleveland) but this is the first ITG2 machine.

Talisman:

I drove from Northside to my house today and it took about 40 minutes. From my house to GOM is 40 minutes. Assuming you don't get off the highway, it should be a little more than an hour for you. It's worth it, trust me.

Directions from Cincinnati:
On I-75:
Go north through Dayton
After you get into the part where the speed limit's 65 again, start looking for I-70 East
Get on I-70 east
Take the 2nd exit (Brandt Pike)
Turn right
Start looking for it on your left, it's about a half mile down
The arcade's sign is in one of the photos I posted, as is the outside of the arcade

You should come up sometime next week, Talisman, when I'm off work.

Staroceanfreak: Yes, it has all songs from ITG1, including Delirium, an FFR classic.

It also has Destiny, which is freaking amazing and way cooler than any song on DDR. It sounds great on GOM's machine, too. Wonderful bass.

Classic? Hah. It would be great with better steps, but a classic when it's only been out for about two weeks?

Right.

I am impressed. Any house with a full-size arcade machine gets, like, uber feng shui. At least, that's what I say.

Nerds.

We are getting an ITG2 in about 2 weeks, going to be set in the big Jersey Gardens mall! (Eyoshi correct me if i am wrong) =D such a shame i wont be here when it's coming in ='(

Sorry, msbrunnettemickey. I can't tell you anything about it since I didn't go to Jersey Gardens yet! LOL
However, if you want your your ITG2 fix, I think there's a machine in Fun & Games at Wayne...

[JurseyRider734]

They need to fix up 8 on The Break.

I heard it's in poor condition atm. A lot of the machines are broken and the DDR and ITG pads are crap. They should get an ITG2.

[alainbryden]

Yay tomorrow I play ITG2 in Canada's first DDR/ITG tournament. I hear the first time it hurts a little.

What?
You never went to Jersey Gardens?
NO WONDER YOU ARE A NERD IN OUR SCHOOL.
It would be funny if they put one next to the cheese cake factory.

Fun & Games at Wayne.... Hmm.

8OTB has ITG2...at least, the game credits give them credit for being a test location.

Delirium is an FFR classic. One of the arcade machine investors (when he found out I was one of the FFR developers) said he was at his grandmother's house and wanted to play SM but didn't have it, so he decided to try out FFR since he'd heard about it. He said he was really surprised to see that we had acquired Delirium, but he failed it cause he couldn't use speed mods.

You're making me feel sad...
But anyway, define "nerd". I just consider myself as an DDR noob. And it's not that I never went to Jersey Gardens, it's just that I don't feel like asking my parents to drive me to a place that takes at least 45 minutes to arrive. ANd besides, I normally play DDR, so I go to Sportsworld where the are 2 different DDR machines.
However, I'd like to play ITG2 cause I want to hear the music selection. It certainly looks like the next big dancing game...at least until Konami prepared a lawsuit against Roxor...

[firemon22]

Northern Va has no DDR no ITG no Beatmania no arcade so i have to drive to Prince willam which is like an hour just to play DDR

Like losing your anal virginity...

I will be at GOM arcade tomorrow (wednesday) in the late afternoon and evening. If anyone wants to come join me, directions are earlier in this thread.

itg2 is like 3 years old

I have never understood the craze of the DDR style of games. I tried it once, and felt a lot like a guy should when he wears a pink shirt. It's cool that you guys like it. My brother loves that stuff... I just go to a club if I wanna dance, but rock on with your game

Maybe you were just absent from school when they covered this, but I can tell you that your first sentence isn't a complete sentence. You are missing an "and" in the string of acronyms / nouns and started a 'sentence' with a number. Also, dont start a sentence with "and" like you did at the start of your second sentence. How did you so eloqunetly put it to me... hmmm... STOP! GRAMMAR TIME?

I'm a big shot, there's no doubt. Curse a mod, and get kicked out.

Your first few sentences are decent, though they are lacking in interesting sentence structure. Your style of writing and usage of simple vocabulary and unspecific terms seems to denote a lack of finesse with the English language. You omitted a period from your final sentence, which is a bonafide grammatical error.

This is what is known as an "abbreviated sentence" (see Hodges' Harbrace Handbook, fifteenth edition, p. 55). In such sentences, words that can be easily understood from the context are omitted. Furthermore, there is absolutely nothing unacceptable about starting a sentence with a number. I would likely have spelled out the word "two" had I been writing a scholarly dissertation on the topic of what video games my arcade has, but I think you would agree that this is absurd.

You are correct, starting a sentence with "and" was vulgar and pedestrian. But I inferred that my grammar would not be so meticulously dissected by such masters of the language as yourself. I apologize if my writing is not "eloqunet" enough for you.

Your criticisms of my literary talent will fall on deaf ears. I would go on to explain the futility of your puerile attempt to one-up me, but I think the rest of our dear forum users have already figured it out. In short, you just made yourself look like an imbecile. Now go away.

Love,
Chardish
