Why do people play? To be better than someone else?

The only readon why I play is because it's fun! I don't care if everyone around me kicks my buttocks horribly at a song just as long as I have fun with it

. It's cool and all to know you're better than people at something, but trying to be the best isn't exactly something I'm going to bother with.

just wanted to suggest reading past the first page when starting a new thread. chances are there is one already for your topic.

"Why do you DDR?"
(e.g. - http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88322 )

I play because it's cool, fun, and I am not sitting at home all day.

I play for the fun of it. Not to beat some elitist jerk in a round of DXY 3 times in a row and become popular. I just play for fun.

Well let's see....

First off I don't play DDR for fun. Second of all it's not dancing. You're just stomping on four arrows.

Third of all you guys act as if all the good people are jerks and A*sholes. Well that's not true. I'm trying to reach the highest level of ability that my body will allow, and to show all of you fun people what is like to really like to achieve something playing DDR.

You guys can do what you want but AAA'ing a song is all and stomping the crap out of noobs in competition is just how I get my rocks off. Of course you guys won't agree with me, but someone's gotta put you guys in your place on the pads.

In the end when I'm on the pads I am the devil, but when I'm off the pads I'm always willing to talk to people and sometimes give advice if they want it. So don't judge us elitist too badly. Ok??

P.s. To kind of make up for the fact that I don't play DDR for fun I always try to have fun with the people I'm around. We always have a good time. So there is there is the two sides of me.

I play for fun, and to help my friends who arent very good at it, they always watch me and go "matt, your insane on this", and they think im all good and stuff. I play on all levels, from Max300 on light, to Rythem and Police on standard, to Sandstorm on heavy. Right now, at the campground i go seasonal at, we are trying to get any DDR Machine there, or, if they cant get a DDR machine, either a PIU or a TechnoMotion machine there.

P.S. Has anyone seen the new Nike commercials? they have PIU on it

Nowadays I play once a week just to keep the cardio training up. The treadmill at the gym gets tedious over time.

So in other words, it's for fun. I was training one of my mates on double until he had an asthma attack. He's made considerable progress and can do the low/mid-level double catas.
