Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle

[MonMotha]

I can bring my 573 back over there some time. It'll play all the usual suspects back to 3rd mix. The "hard" part is undoing the Supernova conversion (which will take me all of 10 minutes). Last I heard, though, Merk and Fluffy wanted the machine moved/stored, though.

[Merk]

I really wish your machine was up and running so we could play non-Extreme/SuperNOVA songs. We could have played The Race for the 500. Or, I've been wanting to play Boom Boom Dollar.

But, alas, I shall pick a song that you won't play from our list of usual suspects...

How about Sana Molette Ne Ente?

Oh believe me I wish I was lucky enough to have my shit working right out of the box like everyone else on IndyDDR. Honestly the only real outstanding issues are the RTC-RAM, a monitor that's probably going to die within the next year, and a few shoddy arrows. The arrows I can fix it's just a matter of me getting off my ass and actually doing the work.

Sana Molette sounds like a great song to play! Let's do it!

I'm all for it, a 573 machine that's in pristine condition is really all I ever wanted out of life.

Merk, would you rather keep Brandon's machine set up and move yours to the garage? We can do whichever.

[Ho]

22 on Sana Molette. I also got an 18 with 1 good, but I'll take the FC, I guess.

Honestly I would be okay with moving my shit back to the garage. My only apprehension is that I know deep down inside I will never, ever work on it again if it's in the garage and I'd like to at least get the pads and RTC-RAM fixed on it before I move the machine back to purgatory.

Other than the fact that Brandon's machine is running Supernova it is otherwise perfect and I'd like to have Extreme running on it if that's an option. Logistically it would be easier to move my machine than his anyway.

I mean technically the 18+1good is a better score dance-points-wise!

Yeah, I know. I just don't like dealing with NCs if I can avoid it. I figured I'd try it again later and see if could get 18 or better with an FC.

[Ho]

New week! Pick a song, Merk.

[Merk]

Well, I like to make the song of the week tie in with some sort of theme:

We've just entered June
Some would say that June would be the start of summer

How about My Summer Love (original 4th mix song)?

[Ho]

I see where you're going here, but the summer solstice isn't until the 21st. That being said, My Summer Love sounds perfectly fine as a song selection.

[Merk]

Just got done playing 3 sets of Extreme singles and then moved on to the Supernova cabinet to knock some of these songs out.

11 greats + 3 NCs on Electro Tuned

4 greats FC on My Summer Love

Played Sana Mollete once and gosh dang that's a hard chart!

[MonMotha]

It's not THAT hard...unless you're playing it on 1x flat like a real man, then yeah, it's hard.

[Merk]

I would argue that compared to its singles counterpart that the doubles chart is harder since it's got a lot more turning and I think a *slightly* different rhythm.

[Merk]

What'chgu wanna play youse baller?

[Merk]

Played Love Shine and got like 46 greats and a miss. This fricken song is seriously really, really hard.
