Damn, son! That's a good score on My Sweet Darlin'! gjgjgjgjgjgj

I don't think I'll be able to FC Twilight Zone with my current weight without bar raping. Those double-steps at the end are hard to hit and they have some weird positioning that you have to do that I haven't figured out yet. The couple of times I've played it I've had to pretty much triple-step on one foot and that's no bueno.

Chad and I are playing tonight but I think it's mostly going to be Stepmania stuff. I'll boot up Extreme though just in case we want to take a break from Stepmania and play some ol' doubles charts.

Played again last night.

I tried again for a FC on Twilight Zone, but I still have trouble with the drills at the end. However, I did improve my score considerably. I got down to 15 greats with 4 misses for a DP of 567. That does put me on top for that song. I'd still like to get a FC on that eventually though.

After that, I wanted to go for SDGs on www.blondegirl and We Are The Champions since I was so close the night before.

I got 11 on www.blondegirl at least 2 more times last night before I finally broke through and got 6. That improves my DP to 552.

Champions was weirder. I improved from 10 greats to 6, but I added a good and dropped a freeze for a net zero effect on my DP. I tried one more time and get a 7. I picked up the freeze, but I still got a random good. I really don't even know where that happened. At least that improved my DP by 1 to 453.

Gonna play tonight, I've been lazy the last two days.

It looks like I have my work cut out for me thanks to Brian's good scores.

I actually took a break last night and went to bed kind of early (for me, at least). It was a bummer getting up this morning with less than 10% of my daily Fitbit steps for the day like a normal. The day before, I had hit 10,000 before I even left the house thanks to playing across midnight.

Good luck tonight, Merk. I may try to play some, too. :)

I was able to get 6 on Champions and Saxy Blonde

1 great on Freckles and My Summer Love, both on singles

I still suck ass at Twilight Zone and Kiss Kiss Kiss. God damn - that ending of Twilight Zone is reallllll tough.

I started too late last night to hit my step goal, so no three-peat for me. :( But I did play across midnight again, so I've got a pretty good jump on today's goal.

I wasn't playing particularly well either. I tried a bunch of stuff but was getting mostly lower scores.

However, I did manage to improve Twilight Zone a little bit. Still 15 greats, but I converted 1 miss to a good and another to a perfect for a DP improvement of 2 points. I hit those drills at the end but missed stuff earlier. I agree, this song is tough. I can do every part...just not all at once, apparently.

I was also able to match your Champions score of 6 greats for a 3 point improvement in DP.

We're about to hit page 100 in this thread.

I think it's my turn to pick this week. How about Abyss?

Played some tonight. I got Abyss down to 16 greats for a DP of 602. Nothing else particularly exciting happened.

Yeah I fucked up and didn't play yesterday. I got wrapped up in my CCNP study and ended up not getting home until 6:40 at which point I went and studied some more, did some Beet, did a game or two of HOTS, then slept since I had to be at work early.


I have gained a real appreciation for route-maps though!

I played last night--pretty much just to hit my Fitbit step goal. I replayed some of the older songs on our list, but I wasn't able to beat any of my own scores.

I only needed 2000 or so steps to get to my goal, so I figured I could get there in around a half hour of moderate play. Here's some very interesting data though...

Casually walking at the mall accounted for almost the same number of steps. I think this is more evidence that the Fitbit step algorithm is filtering a good number of DDR steps as "noise." Although I suppose the mall walk was continuous for the entire time while DDR has time between songs and between games. Still, I think the in-game step count of what I played was significantly higher than what the Fitbit counted.

I didn't play last night. But I did walk around the house a couple times just to make my step goal (I was pretty close) and then went to bed.

What did you do last night. I saw you made your step goal, too (GOOD JOB!).
