1. you start to see arrows scroll up your eyelids when you close your eyes

2. you see arrows even if your eyes are open

3. you start tapping you feet in a rythm to "X" song you have played recently

4. you play til you cant walk

5. you waste your entire paycheck on it (believe me ive done it)

6. you have songs stuck your head

7. you spontaneously break into song (i.e a j-pop song like BREAKDOWN!)

8.you can memorize any of the max's and play then on whatever speed mod and stealth it...and get a AA or higher

I don't really talk about DDR that much around my friends that arent into it, but i guess one of my non-ddr friend knows i'm really obsessed. See, she went on a trip with a bunch of people around europe, and she saw a Dancing Stage Euromix machine and took a picture of it just for me. lol riiight.gif

1. When you drop dead, and stare at the ceiling for more than 1 minute.
2. When you hear your favorite ddr song in your dreams.
3. You spend your lunch money on ddr, rather than much needed food.
4. You plan your vacations based on thoughts of ddr.

All these happen in my wonderful, horrible life. biggrin.gif

When you paint the middle of a poker chip blue (on both sides), then paint your initials on both sides so you can use it as a place holder for waiting your turn to play so no one will steal your tokens/coins.

(Yes, I did that. Three times.)

HAHA!!! You know what? You're exactly right. I've done all of these except # 8. Another way to tell if you're obsessed with DDR is if you open up a binder or a folder and a bunch of step-charts fall out.

1. When any Song is being played(and you're actually watching for once), and you can sing the lyrics right with the song.

2. When you AAA a Max.

3. You PLAY DDR in your sleep(you actually see yourself on the pad dancing to songs stuck in your head).

4. You have a playlist on your PC of your favorite DDR songs.

5. You practice stepcharts by listening to those songs, and tapping your fingers in the direction of the arrows.

6. You post at DDR Freak.

7. You're the president of your schools DDR Club.

8. You'd rather play DDR than hang out with your girl friend.


(I am victim's of my own 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and one low, very low point of my life, 8.)

I don't necessarily think that #1 is a big sign of DDR obsession. Most people stop seeing arrows when they play after a week or so (I know I did). It's actually really common when you do any sort of patterned activity to see it when you close your eyes while your brain is getting used to sorting out where it fits in the world. Once you don't have to consciously consider something as much, the pattern stops (ie, when your brain gets used to how arrows look and scroll, you stop seeing them). I've had experiences with that from doing many, many different activities (mostly games, but not always).

Actually, it's probably more a sign of DDR obsession when you can play for 6 hours straight and then *not* see arrows. That means your brain is so used to the constant stream of arrows that they don't even register consciously anymore ;-)
