Does anyone here play Dance Dance Revolution? I just got back from a nice trip to Magic Mountain full of DDR goodness. Good times...

I played DDR for about 6 months and got to the point that I could beat just about every song on trick, but then I gave it up when one of my pads broke and my friends stopped playing and it just got dull.

Thats too bad, it can get really fun if you put some style in too, go in circles while you do it or memorize the steps so you don't have to look at the screen. You can get quite a crowd in the arcade if you are good enough.

I did all the tricks, circles, spins, etc, I just didn't develop the hyperspeed some players have.

DDR is a good way for fat kids to get skinier. That isn't meant to be insultive.
This is the part that is meant to be insultive: DDR is the pop attempt to get into the techno-music culture. Don't fool yourself. That isn't what real techno fans listen to. (Well, some do. I happen to hate most of DDR music. I've never played the game. Anyway, it is nothing like most of the whole electronica genre...)

I lost 30-40 pounds in a month of playing DDR (cool). Techno in itself is kind of dull, it's just thumping kicks and synth leads

Congratulations on the weight loss. If I played DDR, people would think I have an eating disorder. I'm like 5 pounds underweight according to all those weight charts and stuff, but I'm lazy...and I eat, and can't figure it out...anyway...please don't think you know about techno when I can tell you obviously don't...there are more subgenres inside the genre of techno (well, technically Electronica, of which techno is a subgenre, which has thousnads of other subgenres in it...) than there are genres outside of it
I've played DDR, and I'm kinda good at it, even though I used to be better. But the music is tight.
