OH THOSE MORNING JITTERS
Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 11:40 am
Guys I started posting on this forum when I was a freshman in high school. Now I am graduating college and entering the real world. Boy a lot sure has happened during those years!
TIMELINE
High school:
Played DDR. Picked Orion .78 Maniac. Thought the game was gay. Played BB$, thought it could be fun.
Friends got into it as well. Started playing on weekends.
Got decent. Second person in my group of friends to pass a 9.
Played in a tournament, got 3rd.
Discovered IndyDDR Yahoo! group.
Played a little bit more but interest waned.
Kinda stopped playing but still had interest.
5th mix came out at a different arcade.
Played some 5th, thought it was kinda gay that all the old stuff was gone.
Played a little, but not too much.
Former arcade got 5th, still didn't change the fact that the game was meh.
Decided to play in another tournament at the last minute.
Didn't do well, oh well! Friend's brother got really good and crushed the tournament.
Again, never really played, but still had interest and wouldn't pass up a chance to play.
Friends kinda stopped playing as well.
Nothing much really happened, and then Max came out.
Definitely did not like Max.
Started playing at the "other" arcade since it still had 5th.
Interest revitalized!
Started playing, by myself, weekly. All other friends stopped playing entirely. Friend's brother still played a lot.
Focused on getting better.
Another tournament came around. Didn't play, but I chose roulette for people. Ended up hitting Fantasy (6th) a bunch.
Kept playing 5th.
7th came out. Traveled to the Mounds Mall in Anderson to play it. Tried it, liked it, but had to play 5th since that's all I had.
7th came to Ft. Wayne, I forget who got it first, maybe PP? I'm not sure.
Started playing 7th. Really enjoyed it. But was too much of a fatty to do hard stuff.
At this point things really start picking up and a bunch of shit happens.
ON THE NEXT EXCITING EPISODE:
I meet some exciting people!
I rekindle my love with Riot!
IndyDDR!
Arcade drama!
DDR Extreme released!
Time will be wasted, make sure you keep hitting F5.
