Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle

[Ho]

Well, cool. Pick a song then, sir. Try to pick one that's also in SN/SN2 since that's what the cool kids are playing.

[Merk]

How about Midnight Blaze?

[Ho]

Got it. Will do.

[Ho]

Played Midnight Blaze. Got a 629. Improved Chikara to 677.

I have the 573 installed now, so I guess I'll be playing those mixes for a little while. So how about A (Heavy) for the next song? Let's take this show back to the very beginning!

[Merk]

Sure! A is a good little song.

My bad I couldn't make it out to Washington Square Mall last Sunday! I was at a fighting game tournament that ran until 3:00am and there was no way I was gonna be able to make it to the mall to play DDR the next day lol

[Merk]

I played DDR on Tuesday! I think I got like 30 greats on Midnight Blaze.

[Ho]

I've been playing randomly and sporadically and enjoying 2014. Y'all need to get here so we can all play these new goofy charts. It feels weird to be playing 13s and 14s in DDR.

But I've actually been playing more beet than didder lately. Somehow it suddenly became fun again for me after like 3-4 years of not really caring about it.

[Merk]

Ahhhhh SHIT let's play! I'm putting in a genuine effort to not be a fat fuck. I keep doing the whole yo-yo thing and that's no good!

[Ho]

Merk, can you get the PC versions running? Let's play some new stuff!

[Merk]

Nope! I don't have a MiniMaid for my DDR cabinet and Brandon's not making them anymore soooooo

[Ho]

They're not impossible to get. Do you want to run new didder or not?

[MonMotha]

So, uh, if you want one, there might be a ton laying around in boxes. You might be able to buy one if you ask.

[Ho]

Like I said...do you want to play new didder or not? Are you ready to leave 2002 behind?

[Merk]

Man..... MAN I really like old school DDR and shit though. Extreme, for me, has gotta be the pinnacle of the series. I'm too fat and out of shape to be bored with it and I don't need all the goofy hard shiz that came out in the later releases. Paranoia Hades? Para-no-thank-you. But uhhhh as it stands I'm stuck in 2002 unless I could get my grubby hands on one of them sweet, sweet Minimaids.


I worked on my 1P side over the weekend and got it working pretty well! I was able to consistently pass an Oni course which is great considering that I was rolling the dice every time I played a course. Is the pad gonna fuck me and give me misses? I don't have to worry about that anymo' -- the 2P side is still a clusterfuck though lol

[Ho]

I've never really cared for the super hardcore stuff, and I've found a lot of fun and moderately challenging songs in the newer mixes. Plus, 2014 has a lot of revivals in it. C'mon, man! Merk, you're the worst.
