A Beginner's Guide to the Dance Dance Phenomena

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-it's-a-good-weight-loss-plan dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I just saw a rather interesting article over at LANParty.com about breaking into the world of Dance Dance Revolution. The article has a humourous story about going from DDR mocker to DDR fanatic thanks to a seven-year-old kid. Also, it has reviews of some home DDR equipment for those too timid to play in public. The article is written from a beginner's perspective, and has some good resources for newbies! If you've ever thought of hopping up and 'busting a move', be sure to check it out."

    Pity all the excercise they get is

    Moving the mouse
    Getting up to have shit (Most have toilets under their workstations anyway)
    Opening and closing the CD drive to burn warez/mp3z/linux_distroz
    Moderating posts as -1 troll.

    Yes, I'm talking to you. I wish I could find out where you live so me and Steve could come over and hang out with you for a minute or two.

    The Dance Dance phenomenom started OVER THREE YEARS AGO. It's not news, it's not for nerds, it doesn't matter and it's stale as all f!@#. I realize some of the readers here are the secluded sort, but one visit to any major arcade within that time would have clued you in to this popular phenomenom. You certainly don't need a guide to figure things out. Please, don't disgrace the word Editor by applying it to yourselves. Infact, replace yourselves with a very small shell script as I'm sure it'd do a better job of finding real, not to mention interesting news. Heck, some of it might even be for nerds.

    And yes, I already know K5 exists, thankyouverymuch.

    What next reviews of Broadway musicals? You have sunk to new lows. I am starting to doubt the integrity of /. .

    Here a chance to take more Karma! If I allow the +1 bonus, that allows you to mod for up to 3 karma points to -1. Damn, I'm generous. But to masquerade this artical as a story? I can't even imagine generousity on that level. I mean, the world isn't exactly starved for news. Hell, Stephen King is dead, but the by-no-means-new DDR wave makes front page and he doesn't? I don't even like Stephen King, but this is horse shit. H-O-R-S-E S-H-I-T. I know, hit that -1 button, because the truth hurts. Troll it or Flame it, but the simple truth is Timothy fell down hard today. News? We ain't got no stinkin' news...
