That guy's website is a blatant rip-off of The Best Page in the Universe (http://maddox.xmission.com), which actually IS funny.
Don't worry about it. I'm sure that guy has a hobby, and whatever it is, it isn't any less pointless than DDR. As long as what you do makes you happy, who gives a crap what anyone else thinks.
That said, the guy is a moron, because he's obviously never tried the game. But I agree, that horse-racing game is retarded. |

Don't give in to this guy's poor and shallow perception of DDR. He's only giving his opinion and personally I think this guy just plain hates it because he hasn't done enough research on the culture to give a concise and through opinion. Just ignore him and don't let his perrogative bring you down to his level.
By the way, I'm worried this thread might go down the Road to LoQ since this clearly will constitute as flamebait since people will likely respond with their emotions instead of their minds. So if your planning to reply on this thread, please keep the flame baggage at home and respond in a mature manner. _________________

This guy should be ignored at all times. Do we really care what he says? Nope.
1) 1 dollar per minute??? He must suck really bad at DDR to be spending that much. I spend a dollar every 10 minutes, and that's only if I'm rushing.
2) He got the look of the DDRMax game wrong, no blue flames, unless the Japanese Version looks like that.
3) Um... there's a DDRMax2 now, so his info is by far inaccurate.
So who still cares? *silence* Thought so. |

That says it all right there. I mean, Maddox had me laughing even when I disagreed with him. This guy should really find something to do besides make unfunny Maddox wannabe essays. |

I must admit that the article amused me. I know a lot of people who don't *get* DDR. I don't mind that their opinions are different from mine. _________________

That guy is stupid. I bet he can't even play and that's why he talks crap about DDR. I bet he can't back up what he said. Let's all go to his house and burn him . Oopps I got a just little to carried away. |

Man, I'm almost tempted to mail Maddox and tell him to make fun of DDR, so I can at least be entertained while I'm being insulted! _________________

Wow, that was totally not worth my time. The guy must think he's all cool and original by having a website to (lamely) diss everything. Yea, so original... |

Does this guy have some sort of Clay Aiken Fetish?
This guy is the kind of person you see at arcades that walk by the DDR machine and call it retarted without even trying the game. Now SOME of the stuff this idiot wrote may be relevant if he has actually played the game, but I doubt it because all he said about his DDR experiences was that his brother told him about it.
In short, People are stupid, and iggnorant. Therefore we always need a reminder. _________________

I'm surprised that someone who hates something that much would spend their time to make a website about it and write about it (other than Maddox who is funny). People need to get a life.
Besides, if they don't like DDR, it's their loss. _________________

That guy lost me at "Suckiest game ever!"
He's probably just trying to make himself feel high and mighty by bashing something else. But then again the internet is no place to do that, I mean who listens to stuff on the internet? |

The only problem i had is the "Loser" part.
In my opinion, i bet you there is one thing that he knows a lot about. Everyone's a loser in their own way.
One person can like cars, and know everysingle car just by looking at it(which i'm sure most of you can do out there) and he can be called a loser.
But then again he's probably not gonna be called a loser, cuz cars are "COOL"
I hate how this world works. _________________

Let's point out errors, shall we? This is from this person's pages.
Quote: |
I never exactly knew what to make of the term "cult following." I always heard it and instantly my thoughts were: "Can't people enjoy what they want without being mocked and berated?"
Well, now I know the answer: No.
Because cult followings aren't normal followings. They're not followings that consist of simply liking something and spending money now and then to invest in the interest. They're much deeper.
They're followings that require you to constantly eat, sleep, and think about that object of interest. That require you to form a committee of friends that all share this interest, and have hour-long conversations related to this interest. That require you to...well...be a loser .
And the hilarious thing is that cult followings rarely appear for anything worth any real fandom. It's always something silly, annoying, and fundamentally pointless: like Star Wars or Clay Aiken. I've often imagined if I was given a choice between an Aiken concert and a showing of Star Wars , I'd scream, beg, and plead for a some sort of third option involving a knife, my heart, and a topless murderess (you know, cause I gotta go out happy ...)
Still considering my hatred for over hyped movies, the next person I see walking to a Star Wars convention in the dead of summer with a giant, hairy Chewbacca costume will look like the epitome of sophistication when put next to someone who allows them self to be a slave of the wretched Dance Dance Revolution. |
So, in essence, this guy simply can't say, "I keep hearing 'cult following'. DDR does not have a cult following. It has a fanbase." Idiot.
He calls people losers for having a heightened interest in something he doesn't like , but doesn't care anyway so he wants the world to follow what he deems correct and demoralize them for it. Hey Laney B.: "CULT FOLLOWING!"
Quote: |
Dance Dance Revolution (or it's shortened name, "DDR" which all the mega-cool, funky, hip kids are call it to allow them extra time to talk about their high scores and championship badges) is another one of those arcade games in which you are made into a fool for a high score that only lasts until the store-owner pulls the plug on the machine at 9PM.
|
Useless quip at the beginning. Made into a fool? You've haven't seen freestylers, eh? Oh, and arcades save high scores since the time of, oh, Galaga.
Quote: |
Now dancing's been around forever, but I guess someone figured it's always better if you pay $1.00 by the minute, to have a machine play bad music tell you exactly what steps to make. (Bonus points if you play it for hours on end and draw a crowd to watch you make an buttocks of yourself and nearly starve to death, nourishing your unhealthy arcade addiction.) |
Can you not acknowledge personal taste? Rap sucks to me, but I know others like it anyway.
Quote: |
Oh, but it doesn't stop there! There's now a "DDR MAX "available on home console ! Now, we can all be mindless drones at home! And a "DDR Remix ". And an "Extreme DDR" . And probably next year, an "Extreme DDR to the MAX". How 'bout a "Totally Extreme Hardcore MAXed out DDR Remix" ? Maybe we can add a bonus stage that plays a record by Eminem, re-package it and sell it under the name "Totally Slim Shady Extreme Hardcore MAXed out DDR Remix" ! Oh! I get it! We could also be pretty damn obvious about our pathetic marketing schemes and call it "Totally Slim Shady Extreme Hardcore MAXed out DDR Betta Get Your Parents Up Before 7AM So They Can Get It For You Before We Replace It With Something Else Tomorrow Morning Remix" ! |
THIS IS AN ARGUEMENT!? PATHETIC! I've had more fun making fun of the long names the Street Fighter series has had.
Quote: |
And did I mention the music? It's really bad. Those Clay Aiken tickets might not be a bad idea, after all. |
Personal taste thing again, but if this man just put up a pointless paragraph AND wouldn't mind going to see Clay Aiken...this guy is a bit contradictory, isn't he?
Quote: |
Years ago, I went into the arcade and games were fun. Pac Man, then Street Fighter, then Daytona USA.
Something happened. I went in one day and saw a game in which people were horseracing, and to move the horse on the screen, actually had to mount a mechanic horse and shake it back and forth. that's when I realize that we, as humans, no longer play games; The games play us. |
Wait, wait, wait. Daytona used a steering wheel, which gives us the impression of being in a racecar. Now, we have the mechanic horse, which gives us the impression of horseback riding. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
Quote: |
At that moment, I realized that eventually there would probably appear a game in which humans are put into a giant gerbil wheel and instructed to run repeatedly for the shallow pursuit of a high score. |
If you want the government to think we're all zombies to GTA: VC and get the impression that video games are plotless button-mashers, get out. Now.
This man couldn't even put up a worthwhile argument. Something Awful can do him in tons better. |

This guy has serious issues
The mass majority of humans on the planet are losers. It feels great to be part of the majority!
But what's sad is he hates his own brother and won't forgive him for liking what he likes.
