Attention Kokomo Players

Post by XeroCi » Fri Sep 15, 2006 3:45 pm

I have two announcements.

1.) A crappy pump it up perfect collection is at Side Pocket Pool Hall and Games. If you want to play on a kinda weird PIU machine, then go for it. Left side is kinda stiff. So is right, but not as bad.

2.) DDRKokomo Community Website has a new address: http://www.ddrkokomo.com

Well now...

I was planning on going down to X-Site tonight, but I think I'll head up to Kokomo to see just how crappy this Pump machine you speak of is. I'll be heading out shortly, and it should take me about 30-40 minutes to get there. So, if anyone feels like stopping by, I'll be wearing my IndyDDR shirt.

Well, that was fun.

Drove past the place twice before finding it.

Anyway, the machine itself is in pretty horrid condition. The sensors weren't all that terribly responsive, the bars were incredibly rickity, and the pads made some creaking noises when stomped on much, and the pads were right up against the machine. However, the worst part of this machine, by far, is the monitor. It's very, very blue, and dark. I got some pictures of it, so look at those to see what I'm talking about. Oh, and the screen is a lot clearer in the pictures than in real life.

As for the game itself. The interface on that mix is rather odd. Definately not what I'm used to. Also, nearly everything's in Korean, so it was hard to figure out which songs where which. I tried doubles once, but the 2P pad was completely dead for some reason. Meaning, of course, that I failed miserably, even though I actually hit every step. :roll:

It was fun anyway. I ended up talking with Charlie, the guy who runs the place, for awhile. He's a really friendly guy, and it seems like a really nice little place there. I really wouldn't mind going back simply because of the atmosphere of the place and such, but I'd have to have some reason, such as being in town, or meeting someone there. The pump machine is just a bit too crappy to justify the drive by itself.

Charlie also mentioned the possibility of a new dancing game, and I believe someone on here should know what I'm talking about...


Anyway, here are a few pictures I took. You can see how off the monitor is, as well as how cramped the machine is:

Dude, you skipped a trip to X-site to come play a crappy Perfect Collection. Curiousity killed the cat, no?

By the way, do you care if I use a couple of those pictures on the website, WhiteDragon?

Yes, we MIGHT be getting a new DDR at Side Pocket.
MIGHT. Big might.

He's going to open for Team DDRKokomo early on saturdays if we do get a DDR machine. It's a big plus, Charlie is friggin awesome.

Meh, I was bored, and felt like doing something different :roll:
