Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle

[Ho]

So Deep? Whew...ok. Didn't we try to do this one a while back and then gave up because it was too hard? That might be a false memory.

But, whatever. I'll give it a try. I don't really know what the doubles chart is like. I've kind of been playing for crap the past couple weeks, but that may be because I've been so focused on whoring out steps for Fitbit.

[Merk]

Hmmm.... So Deep is significantly easier than its singles counterpart, that much I know. The ending of the doubles chart is kinda tough but for the most it's streamy with a little gallop part in the middle.

[Ho]

I'm game for it. I've got nothing to lose except my breath and/or my dinner.

[Ho]

I was playing for shit last night. Definitely lost my breath. Was able to keep my dinner down.

I managed 37 greats with 1 miss on I'm In the Mood for Dancing. That's 599 DP.

Chad said that So Deep was pretty good and not much at all like the single chart. He was right on both accounts. But I didn't do very well on it. I had 75 greats and 5 good for a 683 DP.

Neither of these scores is anything to write home about. I was feeling generally fatigued while playing last night. Hopefully I can snap out of it and do better later in the week.

I ACTUALLY PLAYED LAST NIGHT

Abyss -- 20 greats and 2 NC
Graduation -- I did really, really bad. I've always had a hard time timing this on singles and doubles sure as fuck wasn't any better
i feel... -- Oh boy did I do bad on this!
Saint Goes Marching -- Did bad. Loved the beginning of this chart but it all kind of falls apart after the slow down
Irresistiblement -- Actually didn't play this one, oops!
Freckles -- Diiiiiiiiid bad! Holy shit this is so much harder than singles
I'm In the Mood for Dancing -- 12 greats, 1 NC. By far my best score of the night
So Deep -- 40 greats, 5 NC. Not a good score but whatever it's kind of a hard chart.

[Ho]

HOORAY! Welcome back.

I thought about playing last night, but I just wasn't feeling it...so I didn't. I'm hoping to get some games in tonight.

Please calc your DPs and update the OP. I'm too lazy to do it for you right now.

[Merk]

Abyss -- 594
I'm In The Mood For Dancing -- 624
So Deep -- 716

I think I'll play some next week too, I know I can do better on Abyss

[Merk]

Tonight is racquetball, depending my car situation I may not be able to play tomorrow either since I'll have to drive down to B-Town to get it. Depending on how my studies go (only one chapter left!!) I should be able to play Wednesday / Thursday.

WAT SANG WOULD YOUSE LIKE TO PRAY?

[Fluffyumpkins]

Don't Stop will be next week's song when I inevitably don't play So Deep this week.

>:(

[Merk]

Well, when I played So Deep that song went out the window!

I mean, I'll play it but it is up to Brian. I HAVE INTEGRITY

[Ho]

Don't Stop! looks like it has a pretty easy chart, but I don't mind taking a little break for this week. Maybe one of us will black flag or AAA this bitch.

DON'T (N)EVER STOP! DON'T (N)EVER QUITE!

[Ho]

Played songzzzz!

Don't Stop!
4 greats - 438 DP

So Deep
55 greats, 2 good - 709 DP ... much better than last week!

[Merk]

God damn, 4 greats? That's a pretty high bar...

[Ho]

There's only 221 steps in the chart, if that puts it in any sort of perspective.

[Merk]

We have to play Jam Jam Reggae (from 3rd mix) this week.

I think you know why.
