wednesday IZ rawr

Stoopid livejournal. Probably a good thing. I got my gaming entry in and that's all that really matters I guess. IZ tonight was fun, traded DDR games with Farren, sessioned with a random stranger Wes who was REALLY fucking good at GF/DM. Got my first AA on a 9-footer, I'm sure you can guess which one. IZ was relatively uncrowded. They were filming some sort of commercial there. Work was good today too, I got a project that doesn't suck to work on. Hemant stopped by, it's weird not having the CMU guys in my hall anymore. Hm, I'm looking forward to this weekend, some friends are coming down from Canada and staying here, and there's the Team Tourney. Only problem is when I'll have time to clean the house and buy soda/snacks. Maybe tomorrow, depending on if/when we bowl/DDR. At least I did laundry tonight... which is why I am up so late. Oh, and I hope Steve gets better! It'd be really bad if the tournament director was sick. :(

You still go to Iz on Wednesday? I might be able to go next Wednesday if everything werks out, so I'm trying to see if people still go.

You AAed a 9-footer? I can't beleive you ever said that I was better than you. I'm no where close. (Woo! by the way.)

Yeah, but does My Summer Love even count as a 9-footer? :)

Though, I guess I actually think I could AA Paranoia KCET if I played it a few times in a row to get the beat. So, shrug. You're still better at home though... I'm just better in the arcade. (Playing at home *really* throws me off now...)

That dense section of My Summer of Love comes closet o killing me every time. The "Bug stomping" in that song kills my knees and so I can't play it every often, so yes, it does. Do Me maybe shoudln't but, ehn. In my book the songs that were rated as 8 foot and are now rated as 9 foot don't count, so Paranoia doesn't count for me. :)

You might not be thrown off on my home set up, but I don't know what you have. The CF pads are pretty nice.

Anyway the arcade is the important place to be good, cause that's where other people see you.

The thing about the dense section of MSL is that it's pretty easy at 2x speed.

Eh, you gotta admit, if I AA'ed End of the Century, that would totally count, even though it wasn't a 9 until MAX2. There's others, but I'm forgetting offhand.

I mostly get thrown off at home because I'm not used to playing in socks anymore, and when the pads move around, that's baaaaaaaad. I don't know what the CF ones are like.

I don't have anyway to try my summer of love on 2x I think. Neither home maxes have it and I just don't get out the arcade enough.

Yes, End of the Century deserves to be 9. I more hold myself to that rule than other people. I was mostly just giving you a hard time.

The CF pad witht he grip tape don't move noticably (the other was supposed to come with it, but we seem to have lost it) and when they are in the double platform that greg built they don't move at all. They could likely take shoes, but I don't encorage that since we are hard enough on our pads as it is. I've seen movies of people playing on CF pads with shoes.

Acutally I'm wrong, it's on max USA, so I just tried it on 2x and the spot in the middle made me go AH! but you're right it is a whole lot more doable.

Actually, since you're helping me, I'm more worried about getting you and the rest of the people sick. I'll be sure to wear a facemask or a bag over my head or something =)

Congrats on the AA. I have no clue what it is.

It was MSL... I can't really AA catas :)

I will try hard not to get sick. I've been really lucky so far, I drink orange juice every day and haven't caught a bunch of colds that were going around. I'll bring you cough medicine if you want. And I'm really looking forward to the tournament either way!
