I mean the catch inside the coin slot that the return button operates is permanently pressed on. The return button isn't stuck or anything. I tried fiddling with it to get it to work, but no matter what, your quarters just shoot right back out.

i don't know if you can do this at the union or not but usually at lazerlite whenever this happens, they just unlock it, and hit the button with something from the inside to pop it back out again.

Geez, give me some credit merk...I still kick ass.

As far as the union goes...I rarely play there cuz the floor isnt carpeted and the pads are always dusty, not to mention I only live a couple blocks from Lazer Lite. I know the staff there since I used to bowl with IU's team, so they're pretty nice to me about cleaning off the pads. I'd like to see you guys up there...is there a Union getting together thread or is it just the Bloomington thread in general? Honestly, Im too lazy to look cuz I'm going to bed after I submit this.

Union machine is down again. This time with an error I haven't seen before, though. It's a black screen that says the following:

"HARD-WARE ERROR -1N
INCORRECT SECURITY CASSETTE
PLEASE CALL ATTENDANT

CREDIT 0
COIN 0"

That's a new one to me.

Was just about to post that, first post updated.
Could it be that the Union was trying to change the mix and somehow made an error in the process? Obviously, this error had to come from someone fiddling around with the interior of the machine.

The machine is back up. I was surprised to find the machine back in working condition so soon, I thought I wouldn't be able to play at the Union until at least thursday.

wow, they're taking a lot more time to mess with it than when I was there.

I fell playing Afronova and got pretty upset. I hate that damn union machine.

Yeah you most certainly did get upset. The only regret I personally have is not recording the man on machine violence that took place. Slapstick is genuinely funny when it is spontaneous, unscripted, and when people you know are involved.

Understatement of the year. ;D

I've been trying to follow some of the problems this machine is having. Besides a major overhaul, someone should tell them that they should:

A. Purchase a new Panasonic CR series CD-Rom drive and
B. Reburn their copy of extreme.

I recieved that error once myself and it was a bad burn of Extreme.

Anyway, doing those two things could solve a LOT of the problems that that machine has been experiencing.

Merk wrote:Finally, it should be mentioned that there is a Pump It Up Exceed machine down here at Classic Lanes. The good thing is that it's only $0.50 and volume is extremely loud with good pads. The bad thing that it's Pump It Up Exceed which, in my opinion, lacks the professionalism of the DDR series. It's definately not in walking distance and the only way I can get there is if Chad or someone else takes me. The people there aren't hostile.

You'd be surprised at how what some of us thing as the three fundamentals of DDR
1. Good Sound
2. Good Pads
3. Good Price
Doesn't seem to matter to the general populace. In my area, everyone complains about Stonybrook being surrounded with less than intelligent people and poorer sound quality and Lazer Blaze having just about everything in the book wrong with it, and guess what? THEY STILL GO. I haven't quite figured out what attracts them to keep on attending these places, instead of, for instance, U of L that offers the three fundamentals. (Not to say nobody comes, but far and large the majority of DDR players dont come on a regular basis). Whether it be out of excessive convienience or lack of foresight, people tend to migrate to the place that attracted them first and continually go there until something drastic happens to steer them elsewhere.

This has been a long ass time since it's been posted it...
I was just wondering if there was a way to get a hold of whoever it is that owns the Machine in the Union to ask them to fix the bottom arrow on the left pad, cause it blows ass, and I can't do doubles now

Yeah I've been complaining about that for a while. Did you talk to the person at the cash register? Maybe they could help.

*Side Note*

Scott, I find this extremely ironic.
