DDR arcade play has really put me in a huge rut nowadays. Every since SuperNOVA came into the works, people have begun there stupid, little familiar Arcade habits again that many people have seemed to forget about. So, I'm here to remind everyboby the Proper way to play and be respectful so EVERYONE can have a good time, NOT just you.

1. I can streess this one enough.....STOP with the STUPID CREDIT LINES!

Seriously, people don't know how to keep track of there credits....EVER. Just don't put a credit in UNTIL it's your turn. It makes perfect sense that the risk of a stolen credit, or a all-day bickerfest doesn't present itself. And if no one is sure who's turn it is...well....ASK someone. Don't be shy. You're around fellow DDRers. Conversation is bound to happen at some point, unless the people waiting to play are just a bunch of haters. Simplest thing in the world.

2. Stop being so friggin' cocky. I can't stand it when people go around the friggin' crowd of players saying how great they are and how everyone else sucks. IT'S A GAME, PEOPLE!!!!! Like your skill in a game that involves arrow stomping is REEEAAAAALLLLY gonna earn you a living. IT DOESN'T MATTER! If you have nothing nice to say, JUST WALK AWAY. If no one is good enough for you, why would you wanna be there in the first damn place? Step off. I know people should do their best to ignore ill comments, but that doesn't give the bragging idiots the right to disturb the peace.

3. Let the other player pick, at least, ONE song. I can't name the many and many times I had to suffer through 3 songs that I absolutely couldn't stand because the other player got greedy with the song selection. Also, ask if the song choice is ok with the other player. Don't just get to the song and then pick it, especially if you have no intention of holding the button down so people can choose their options. 1x is just about impossible for me to see nowadays, and I'm sure many people who play feel the same way.

4. If some who doesn't play starts to bug you, the best way to get past it is just to ignore them until they go away....

But...let's face it. Like ANYONE does THAT anymore. amirite?

Now, I'm not saying get angry and bash their skulls in, but don't just take that crap. Tell the arcade owner, or something and have them booted out. An arcade is a place for people to have fun, not to MAKE fun of others, and I don't make fun of people who play Tekken, so WTF?

I'm pretty much done, and out of breath, That, and I'm a bit ill...

Back to bed....yay sick days....

1. I'm glad we dont have that problem here in fort wayne. That's one thing that bothers me to death about Gameworks. I dont think I could handle Matt. You get bonus points for that.

2. I'm interested who you're talking about. I thought the only ppl with talent in indy that play were you, casey, and david (if he even plays there/anymore).

3. You have to be referring to noobs because I thought giving a heads up about picking a song and options was DDR edicate(sp?) and well known by now.

4. This is my favorite. I'm a non-confrontational person but I love calling ppl out who bug me or make fun of the game. After my song is over, I look at them and urge them to give it a try, while making them look like an ass for backing out.

...I also have to add, I cant stand when ppl try and talk to you while you're playing. Like ppl asking, "Is that hard? It looks hard." That has to be the dumbest question while you're playing a hard ass song.

I agree with you all the way matt, but keep chuckin out the good scores.

I agree on everything man. I've only been to GW twice, both around 1-2 years ago, and that's exactly how everyone acted. Bickering over a dancing video game is ridiculous.

I'm lucky I don't have to deal with this at Greenfield, considering I'm the only player. n_n

another thing... what I can't stand is when people play multiple times in a row without asking if anyone else wants to play / stepping off so others can step up, given that the waiters are "non confrontational".

oh my god i hate that. There's so many little kids in That Fun Place that do that to me, it's not abnormal to get asked that question 1-2 times a day.

i once hit a guy who put his token up on the monitor while i was playing. he was blocking my view so i got mad and hit him in his jaw. i hate those fuckers so much. i always wait to do that until some1 is done with a song

I once shot a guy because he was planning on playing a game after I was done playing.

I don't know, I somewhat enjoy the comments, and the occasional call-me-a-loser reference. Being in the play, I love attention of any kind, whether I be shrined as a hero or degraded as a freak.

Maybe I'm just an attention whore...

Pepper spray. Always had it when I was living in Chi.

This is why I always went and played by myself and always thanked God that no one else was at the arcade when I was there. Tokens 'n' Tickets was perfect for this because all the fuckers went to Putt-Putt. Having a machine to yourself is pure knee-destroying bliss.

Hi, I'm Mr. Merkler and I bump 4 year old posts.

Hi, I'm Mr. SoDeepPolaris and I make dumb meaningless posts.

Hi, I'm Mr. Rodent, and I quite enjoyed destroying your lonely bliss at TnT.

This thread also confused me for a few seconds...

Adam you were cool because you kept to yourself mostly and when we did speak you weren't awkward as fudge. I mean, you were awkward just like me, but it wasn't malicious like an aspie.

No no, you were one of the good ones. But sometimes you just want to play some fucking DDR and not make idle chit-chat, you know what I'm saying.

I also enjoyed interrupting your solo endeavors at the arcade.
