I already posted this in the Midwest Players section, but I'll go ahead and put it here too just because.

Name: Stephen A. Banas
Nickname to friends: I have a ton of nicknames, so use your imagination.
Town: Winfield
County: DuPage
Age: 17
Birthday: 10/14/1986
Appearance: Picture is a couple months old, my hair isn't as long right now. Physically, I'm your standard geek.

Weight: 120 - 125
Height: 5' 10" - 5' 11"
How Long Have You Been Playing?: I've played sparingly a lot before, but I have only privately owned DDR and played it standardly for about 4 months.
How Good Are You?: I couldn't give you my skill level in steps, but I can tell you that I play Heavy mode as a standard at this point. I can do every song on Standard mode pretty easily.
Where Do You Go To Play?: Unfortunately I don't. Being that I live in Winfield, I'm in the middle of a deadbeat county that has almost no arcades and DDR is rare to find. I've heard there's a new one in a Brunswick Zone around here, so I'll have to drive over and check it out. Otherwise, I play on my own setup.
Other Hobbies: Basketball, Soccer, Anime, Cartoons, Other console playing (PS2, GCN, Dreamcast, GBA SP, NES), PC Gaming, Gunbound (Good fast, addictive, simple fun.), Computer Hardware and other computer related activities, Poker and all the other little things that I forgot to mention.

Hi! My name is Becca (ddr name = bexX - from maxX unlimited - if u were interested,) and I am currently confused about what team to be on. (Either Razor Burn or LMDDR - I've been invited into both.) <-- They are the two rival team thingies in my district. I've been playing ddr since the 3rd week of September (2003,) which makes me an extreme HEAVY player, lol. (I picked up the idea of the game really really fast.) Feel free to IM me (xosexiibexiixo,) or email me at [email protected] !

Hi

I'm Astro and I joined yesterday even though I've been visiting the site just over a year now! I'm 19 soon to be 20 (eeeek) a student In Dublin studying Animation and hope to someday work in the gaming industry . . . . . of course this is all just part of a much bigger plan to graduate, get a job at Konami and get free DDR machines for my house. . . . . HAHA!

anyway, I've been playing DDR since I was 16 but have never actually owned the game at home so I used to print off to the step charts from this site and buy the soundtracks! This is because I have never owned a playstation. I'm a true SEGA gal! Sony are the enemy!

I am a little crazy

I can play 7-8 and some 9, Double around 6 and I like to freestyle and put a bit of my own flare into the routine but none of that crazy breakdance stuff with knees and hand slaps! I not quite ready for that yet

So that's basically me

PS If any of yous r eva in Dublin give me a shout!

Hello to all

Well I really cant do a decent introduction, but my life pretty much is ddr and computer games.
I also really like attack helicopters too.

I call from Appleton Wisconsin. Lived here all my life. I would like to get a job as a programmer/animater at ILM, but you never know.

Well, thats basically me.

Alright, here goes nothing...

The name's not important, mainly because I hate my name, you all can call my Phyre or Pudge, both of which I prefer over my real name...

I'm 17 years old and a seinor in Highschool, planning to attend OCCC (Orange County Community College) next year with like 10 friends

I live in "upstate" NY because everything about NYC is considered upstate even though I'm in the lower half of the state...

I started playing DDR a month or 2 ago, borrowed it from a friend, and played for a week, then he took it away and I didn't play for 2 weeks, went to another friends house and played a bit and FINALLY decided to get my own copy last week,

Basically, I suck. I can pass all songs on Light (Basic) and some 4-5 footers on Standard (Trick) but I have to play through the songs a ****load of times before I get them down

I like mostly punk and ska music, bands like Less Than Jake, Catch 22, The Clash, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Green Day, Tsunami Bomb, Save Ferris, Five Iron Frenzy, Rancid, NoFX, MxPx, Reel Big Fish, Fenix Tx. I also like some metal but not too much, the hardest stuff I listen to is Powerman 5000 (GREAT band by the way)

well, I hope posting here and **** will make help make DDR more fun than it already is, so, later everyone.

Bri · Trick Member Joined: 05 Apr 2004 Location: Niceville, FL

Hey, I'm Bri. I live in the Niceville area in the panhandle of Florida and I have been playing DDR for about 3 years (more seriously this year). I can do a fair amount of heavy songs (8 feet is my usually my limit) but the arcade is a good distance from where I live so I don't get to play in the arcade as often as I would like.

Hi, I'm Aldi from Quebec and I just came back from a trip to Australia where my friend introduced me to DDR. Now I'm back in Laval and I am starting to evaluate the machines available in my area.

I'm not very good but I do it for fun and exercise. For the time being I play half a dozen songs on DDR EXTREME, all at the LIGHT level. My friend says I'm a natural, but I think he's just being nice. My favorite song (which I used to learn to play) is Speed Over Beethoven.
