It's a game you dance to, with arrows and music? Incredibly addictive, sweeping the country, (the world, especially asia) I doubt if any of you do, but just in case...the reason I haven't been here in a while is I've been (shock!) seeing another message board...that's right, I'm CHEATING. ddrfreak.com has a forum, my name on there is Emrys if any of you are on ddrfreak. Just wanted to know....

I don't play it, but I know what it is. 
Try to explain... There's a dancer on the screen which reacts to you pressing buttons. Button combinations appear on the screen and you have to copy them, with them of course getting more and more complicated and you having to do them faster and faster.
Hope I didn't just talk complete rubbish, fightingmyinstincts.

It's the next to final sign that video games have gone mainstream
I mean, that requires *work*! You can actually *sweat* playing that thing. And where is the hand/eye coordination? I tell you, it's a conspiracy to make me and my fellow old school video game geeks look like... geeks again.
The final sign, you ask? Video games that incorporate real sunlight and some kind of sports equipment.
Me, I'll stick with Frequency (PS2).

re
Not complete rubbish...just that the character on the screen doesn't actually follow you, they just kinda randomly do stuff unrelated to what you're doing...kinda confusing actually, I ignore them. Yeah, it's different from other video games in that it's almost a sport for the hardcore players...I mean they carry water bottles and towels and stuff, and it's tiring...lots of people have lost weight doing this. And there are tournaments. There are trophies! And cash prizes...
I didn't know that the pads could be used for other games, that's cool. I don't have it at home, so I couldn't use it to play FF anyway.
The spears game is probably lame....who wants to dance to that? But ddr, "Dance Dance Revolution" plays like korean music and stuff that you've more than likely not heard before. It's not real popular in smalltownsville where I live, but in california it's a big thing...

Hey, I may have been pasty, but I wasn't fat... and us types avoid those games, anyway (like when nintendo had that pad that you could play track and field on...)

Heh, wasn't taking it personally. Hell, I probably would've been fat if I didn't have to walk across town, at least 2 miles there and back, to get to my friends' houses.
