no more wasting coins at the arcade for practice.

and nobody will watch you do awesome.

the pleasure of sucking or doing well in public makes you awesome because you can dance or not dance..

You know when I am at teh arcade people gather around whenever someone plays DDR. even when I was.. i'm not a graet DDR player but people still gather around.

Also, about Fatal Frame, the graphics look nicer on the xbox version. My sis owns the ps2 version.

true. i mean im not that good at beatmania yet, it's much harder than DDR imo. but most people i know who play practice in the arcade and blow tons of cash. this way, i practice at home so i rock in the arcade.

DDR was completely different, though. i started out and got to where i am in the arcade. yeah whenever i hit arcades and get on ITG/DDR people crowd. it's awesome. except when i feel like giving up after being dead tired from straight 11/12 foot-runs and find that i can't cuz there's a crowd trapping me in.

I didnt realize the point of playing those games was to make other people think you are "Cool"

Since when did playing games like DDR make you cool? I have to push up my glasses when I play. It's nerdy to the max.

the point is more like not to make a fool out of yourself.

there's a lot of things offered in the arcade not available at home, at least not mine. especially the heart-pounding sound. i mean when you get up on that machine in the arcade it's a completely different feeling than it is playing alone at home. i guess you can liken it to PvP online, where you basically suck in private until you get to a point where you can compete with other people in public and not make a fool out of yourself. me and a group of friends used frequent arcades together and compete, sometimes against other groups of people we meet. it's always fun, almost like a sport.

seriously, a lot of people think simulation games are geeky (and tell me to stop), so i don't see why it has to be what's cool or not when it comes to these games. it's just about who's best at a game, except it's in public. rocking in the arcade against other players is the result of hardwork, the fact that it draws crowds is just a bonus.

lol, i wear glasses too (sometimes), and i can definitely attest to having to do that. especially after a couple songs. it's that or having my glasses crushed under my (or someone else's) foot.

you don't need to be cool to haev a good time. even if your not good you can still do well, same with the fighting game crowd, the people gather over the awesome games like marvel vs capcom 2 or street fighter 3 we take turns and pummel each other and people ooo and ahh at the moves and finishes.. see street fighter 3 parry system is hard to master and i seen videos of people doing awesome stuff.

if you look at some of those videos of people on those machines on youtube, it's friggin mindblowing.

I'd get it tonight but I have work tomorrow morning at 6 Am so I wouldn't have much time to play it anyways.

I just took it from work and then paid for it on release day, that way I get the game early and don't violate the street date. I do it with all the games I want.

Wow. For someone who has no bragging rights at all, you sure like to call people out, FOR NO REASON.

Impressive list. It's funny just last week me and my friend were talking about Wrath of the black manta. He said he gave up on beating the game because the last boss was hard.
