Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle

[Merk]

Anyone can join along for the hell of it but the main drama will be on my weight loss and the prop bets between Chad and I. Most people are better than us at this point because Chad is naturally nonathletic and I am a tubby bitch.

[Fluffyumpkins]

Hey now, I'm not exactly skin and bones either. My body fat is 10.1%

The human body is 61.8% water.

The remaining 28.1% (49 LBS) is muscles and a dong.

[Merk]

That is so unbelievably wrong but I think you're being facetious. Your bones aren't weightless!

Chad are you going to fucking win? I hope not I am scared. "A" is one of those songs I was never particularly fond of in DDR. Anything faster than 170 is murder for me these days.

[Fluffyumpkins]

Well the 10.1 and 61.8 are accurate.

I always get a mess of greats in the first slow bit, but I'll give it my best.

[Merk]

Do we want to set a line on how many greats Brian will get as a side bet?

I'll set the line at 40 and take the over.

[Ho]

I was wondering when the over/under was going to come out.

I may give it a few tries. I'll post my initial score as well as whatever I decide is my "best" for the moment. I'd imagine my initial score will be over, but I could conceivably improve it with a few tries. A is a more techinical song and not a stamina buster, so I should have somewhat of a shot.

[Ho]

Ok, I just played A 3 times.

1) 44 greats
2) 26 greats
3) 42 greats

There you have it...my inconsistent PA. :p

BTW, I played on Heavy. I know there are also Challenge steps, but Riot didn't specify.

[Fluffyumpkins]

Merk decided to do A heavy.

I tried it twice.

1) 27
2) 13

I'll probably give it another go sometime later this week. I was/am pretty pissed off tonight, so it's hard to focus on DDR.

So you have a 6 pack or at least a solid outline?

[Fluffyumpkins]

No, but I'd like to. We had some goofy fitness consultant come in on March 10th 2010, and she brought a fancy scale with metal sensors on it. Additionally we were told not to eat or drink an hour prior to the test. My result was 10.1 Body Fat (% body weight.) I can snap a pic if needed. This was also over a year ago, and I was in half-marathon shape at the time. I doubt the same percentage is true today.

What happened? Why are you pissed off? 13 greats is pretty good actually, I'm not sure I'll be able to best that. Hopefully Riot and I will get to play sometime this week.

I got a great on the first note each time. Same with the 'right right left' right after the speed up. For some reason I'm rushing the song when I play. It isn't as fast as it sounds, if that makes any sense.

[Ho]

Ah, so you were pissed at the song and how you were playing, not pissed about something else while you were playing. And here I was going to try and get really mad about something to see if it improved my PA.

[Fluffyumpkins]

<----- unclear.

I was pissed at other unrelated matters. DDR didn't really calm me down, so I took a walk around the neighborhood. I never play better when I'm angry, unless I'm trying to pass something that requires insane stamina in PIU or ITG. My PA goes to phooey, but I get rage stamina bonus.

[Riot]

I'm sorry I made you upset.

If I go to the arcade a bit I will try to participate as well. I threw away the sheet from my little health program where they kept track of weight and BMI or else I'd list my info. Meg just left I am free to play whatever I want whenever I want!
