Eye Toy + Konami = Ghetto Para Para . I don't believe it. Extreme Songlist with para-esque dancing. Now the thing is will there be routines are like DDR ala arm flailing. I still say freestyle or para mode... it's all about style and flair.

That actually DOES seem like a fun idea...you can get you whole body into it now...

BTW...I recorded myself doin a Para routine a while back...just thought any of you might be interested in takin' a look @ it

It's 1OO by Dave Rogers.....the video's reversed too...so it's a lil easier to learn the routine...

ENJOY!!

hehe i only have to drive about 45 minutes to the nearest para para...but i also have to drive about 45 minutes to the nearest ddr (same place lol) so i'm one of the lucky ones!! I'M IN LOVE AND THE GIRLS NAME IS PARA PARA PARADISE!!!! lol I played it for the first time today...it's always been there but i've never really wanted to try it and i saw it today and i was bored and said "hey...why not waste 50 cents!?" so i hopped on and i am in love...lol...also...i a'd a song and still failed it...i wasn't aware that was possable...but apparently para para has different rules than ddr...lol...well anyway...i'm out...i'll catch you cats on the flipside

I just got my pads and game in the other day, and got my fliptop setup on Monday. I like the game so far, but I've just been messing around freestyling for the most part so far, and I haven't put much time into learning routines. I need to up the sensitivity on a couple of my pads I think because when I tried to do a routine, I got a lot of misses because my arms were too high (I'm 6 foot already).

sensors... sensors. Leave the DDR mentality behind you if you are going to be a paralist.

I love Para. There's a ParaPara Paradise 2nd Mix down at MGL over here in California if it hasn't been mentioned. 50 cents for 5 songs. It's good stuff.

There should be one machine per state. It is only fair. Spread the love. *cranky cause there is not one in Alabama* Damn the drive to DBA.

We have a Para Para machine here in Nashville...well, it's in Goodlettesville.

But yeah, I played it for the first time a few weeks ago. Para Para Paradise (2nd ...something) is very fun.

Speaking of the eye toy deal:

I think they should bundle five eye toys together, have a pad that you can dock the eye toys into, stand on the pad, and then wave your arms around.

the eye toys would be docked vertically, instead of the normal horizontal positions.

Think it's a good idea?

I totally came up with the DDR / EyeToy idea a long time ago... I called it Step Arm Dancing Dancing Enjoyance! haha

It feels so good to talk about ParaPara, it's my first love: The first bemani I've ever played (how ya think i got the SN?). I really got into it. Still into it. But I just wish ppl would learn the difference between DDR and PPP... A few weeks ago, I saw this dude at the local arcade, i could tell he was a n00b. He stepped up on PPD, picked all the easiest settings (no options), and started the first song to pop up (prolly Try Me). So this dude sees the arrows and coordinatingly STEPS ON THE SENSORS! Obviously, he was failing, so I tapped him on the shoulder and informed him that using your arms might be a bit more benificial. He started to do so... I think he tried to hug me.

Anyways, that's just my bit... BTW, PPStage is still up? I haven't been there in forever! I always thought intrest in ParaPara was draining fast in the states. *shrug* ParaPara IS great...
oh yeah, check out the pic i linked in the thread about 'I Can Boogie'... it's got a good PPP joke in it...

rock rock on \\m//

I just recently got into Para, but I don't know of any machines anywhere near me. ;_;

Say, DDRfreak574, you live near me. Where do you go to play para para?
