Was rather swell, was the best man in a wedding, danced with a cute girl, got her number, got shot down by said girl, snuck into a water park, and got my attic to be awesome.

Since that picture, I added an Xbox, Gamecube, Ps2, and another TV up there.

Overall, fun weekend.

Oh yea, and I got pulled over for having expired plates.

This astonishingly unnerving photograph was posted today on the Flickr.com feed of the Guatemalan goverment and shows a seemingly bottomless sinkhole that opened up on Sunday in Guatemala City as a swath of Central America was drenched by tropical storm Agatha. Click here for the high-resolution version, if you dare. The storm only briefly hit tropical storm strength on Saturday as it came ashore from the Pacific Ocean over the weekend, but the death toll had risen to 115 at last count. Here’s a street-level view.

It's like Guatemala is doing its Goatse man impression.

Anyway so, question.

Has anyone had any adverse health problems from playing DDR? I think I've developed weak knee joints from all the high impact exercising I've done with DDR. Now that I've returned to my fatty roots I find it much harder to play DDR without developing a fucking shin splint or risk really messing up my knees.

Prior to becoming a fatty these problems existed as well and I definitely recall having knee problems after a day of DDR/ITG.

Has anyone else fucked something up through DDR?

Just dating potential.

You know what else completely destroys dating potential?

Getting married.

Anyway, question still stands, has anyone else fucked themselves up playing a dancing game?

Severe dehydration when I was young and stupid....

I had all I could drink soda for a week... but they charged for water.... :/

I couldn't move for about a week and a half/two weeks after the trip... it was horrible.

I have sprained my wrists and torn open my knees playing Pump. Also, nearly broke my back. Does that count? :?

I don't know did you get those injuries doing a freestyle? I have heard that there may have been at one time or another a message that pops up every time you play a dancing game that wild motions during play may cause injury.

I'm talking long term, arthritis at 35, abuse here!

I knew I should have taken that long-term disability insurance.

I'm 35. My knees suck, but I don't know how DDR-related that is. They pop all the time and ache sometimes, but nothing as bad as arthritis.

I've injured myself pretty bad a few times over the years, but I seem to always heal eventually. Though one really bad sprain did take (literally) years before it didn't bother me at all. A twinge would creep up every once in awhile. After the initial injury period, it was every few days, then weeks, then months. Finally, after 2-3 years I noted that it hadn't bothered me for awhile.
