[GotACoolName]

1) How old are you? 14.

2) How long have you been playing ITG? Since February, so... around seven months. I've been a general dance simulation game player for four years and a month.

3) How often do you play ITG? I go to the arcade once or twice a week, on Fridays and sometimes Saturdays. Otherwise, I just play at home when I'm bored.

4) Where do you usually play ITG? Aladdin's Castle in Greenfield, Wisconsin

5) About how far away do you live from an ITG machine? 5-10 minute drive.

6) Is the machine in good condition? Yes. The right side, at least. The left side is a little insensitive.

7) How much do you have to pay for a game of ITG and how many songs are in a game? .75$ (three tokens) for three songs. Doubles Premium.

8) What's your skill level? Expert difficulty. Currently working on 12 footers in terms of passing.

9) Which of the 11s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA?
a Monolith
b July
c Pandemonium hard
d Hardcore Symphony

Hardest to pass? Hardcore Symphony, followed closely by Monolith. Easiest to pass? July. Hardest to score? Hardcore Symphony, since it kills my stamina. But if I had better endurance, I'm sure it'd be Monolith. Easiest to score? Either July or Pandy.

10) Which of the 12s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA?
a Bloodrush
b Determinator
c Euphoria
d Hardcore of the North

Hardest to pass would probably be Determinator, but I haven't passed either of these four (I'll get HotN soon; I should have passed it by now @_@), so I don't really know. Easiest would probably be Hardcore of the North, as that's the only one I'm sure I could pass if I tried it. I don't know about Euphoria though; I have no idea how well I'd do on it. The hardest to score on would probably be Euphoria. Easiest to FA would be... uh... Bloodrush?

11) Which of the 13s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA?
a Summer speedy mix
b Pandemonium
c Vertex^2

Summer = easiest to pass and score. VerTex^2 = hardest to pass and score. Pandy = most tiring.

12) Which song do you never fail to play when you go to the arcade?

Hmm... I play Destiny, Clockwork Genesis, and Summer in Belize a lot...

Probably those three. But I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now.

13) Which game do you like better, ITG or DDR?

ITG for improving, DDR for messing around.

For the most part. I sometimes play Habanera 1, Don't Promise Me, etc., when I feel like screwing around on ITG, and I sometimes try to go for AAAs/improved AAs on DDR.

But for general fun factor, I can't really decide.

14) Why? I like them both because they each have things that I prefer over the other.

15) Do like the songs in ITG 1 or ITG 2 more? Some of my favorite songs are from ITG 1, and some are from ITG 2. I love the songs in both.

16) Do like having a crowd watching you play or not? I used to enjoy a crowd a lot more than I do now. I think that's mainly because I've become more anxious in social situations lately. Plus I sweat much more now, as I'm right in the middle of puberty.

17) Do you like to be the only one using the machine, or do like to play with other people?

As long as I'm on the right pad, I prefer a partner. But I'm alone most of the time.

18) Do you ever bar rape? If so, on how difficult of songs?

Yes, on all the Expert songs, and on the more difficult Hard songs. When I'm playing easier stuff (6s, 7s, 8s), I'm in that messing around sort of mood, and I never bar when I'm in that state of mind, as it's not as fun.

19) With out cheating, Do you know how many steps are in Hardcore of the North?

No. But it's somewhere in the 970s, IIRC.

20) Do you consider yourself an ITG nerd?

Definitely.

21) Are you more excited for ITG2 cs or ITG3 ac?

ITG 3 arcade. I don't care for home versions too much. Plus, I've probably seen almost everything that's gonna be on ITG 2 CS already. ITG 3 has all them new shtuffs.

22) What kind of shoes do you where when you play ITG?

Tennis shoes, I guess.

23) Would you rather win a free car, or a free ITG2 machine?

Right now, a machine, since I can't drive. If I could, I'd easily choose the car.

24) Have you ever been to an ITG tourney or big ITG get-together?

Nope.

25) Do you use speedmods? And what speedmod would you use on say, Summer speedy mix?

Yes. I try to make the arrows scroll in the 390-460 BPM range, so I'd use 2.5x on Summer.

That was fun.

EDIT: Typo.

[0rion]

Ah, what the heck. I'll bite.

1) How old are you?

22. (EDIT: Oldest one so far!!! )

2) How long have you been playing ITG?

On and off for a couple of years.

3) How often do you play ITG?

Anywhere between a couple times a week to (more commonly nowadays) a couple times a month.

4) Where do you usually play ITG?

Denver (Hence the "Denver-Metro Colorado" letters on my name)

5) About how far away do you live from an ITG machine?

The closest one? I'd say roughly 5 miles or so.

6) Is the machine in good condition?

THAT one? Umm... it's a Namco cabinet. Enough said.

7) How much do you have to pay for a game of ITG and how many songs are in a game?

Red & Jerry's crapocab: 1 dollar
Six Flags dedicab: 25 cents
Aurora Mall convert cab: 1 dollar
Fat City convert: $1.10 (Can you guess which place I play at the LEAST? )

8) What's your skill level?

Not particularly good, when it comes down to it. I'm actually really disappointed that, having played ITG as long as I have, that I'm not much better than I am. I can pass a number of 12s, but I still haven't gotten any of the 13s, yet... My scores average around the S-to-Star range, with a few doubles and triples thrown around as well.

9) Which of the 11s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest?

a Monolith - Most tiring, hardest to FA
b July
c Pandemonium hard - Easiest
d Hardcore Symphony - Hardest to pass

[10) Which of the 12s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA? [/b]
a Bloodrush - Most tiring, hardest to pass
b Determinator - Hardest to FA, easiest
c Euphoria
d Hardcore of the North

11) Which of the 13s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA?

a Summer speedy mix - Easiest
b Pandemonium - Hardest to pass, most tiring
c Vertex^2 - Hardest to FA

12) Which song do you never fail to play when you go to the arcade?

Probably Utopia, although I try not to whore out songs unless I have a specific goal in mind.

13) Which game do you like better, ITG or DDR?

ITG.

14) Why?

It's tougher, there's more mods, the stepcharts make a lot more sense, and it was there when Konami said they weren't going to make any more arcade DDR games. In fact, it was due in large part to ITG that Konami DID eventually come back into the arcade scene.

15) Do like the songs in ITG 1 or ITG 2 more?

ITG1, easily. I don't like very many of 2's songs at all.

16) Do like having a crowd watching you play or not?

LOVE it.

17) Do you like to be the only one using the machine, or do like to play with other people?

I like being the only one with the machine. When I'm playing with other people, they will INVARIABLY pick a song that is either really dumb, has a bad chart, and/or I'm too tired to play at that moment.

18) Do you ever bar rape? If so, on how difficult of songs?

Yes, but I don't have any particular rules about it. Sometimes I use the bar, sometimes I don't.

19) With out cheating, Do you know how many steps are in Hardcore of the North?

898; and that WAS off the top of my head. I just remembered being amazed that it had 40 more steps than Pandemonium.

20) Do you consider yourself an ITG nerd?

I'm personally more of an Ouendan nerd at the moment.

21) Are you more excited for ITG2 cs or ITG3 ac?

ITG3 AC, personally.

22) What kind of shoes do you where when you play ITG?

Whatever I happen to be wearing at the time. Usually high tops or sneakers.

23) Would you rather win a free car, or a free ITG2 machine?

Hmm... a car. I already have access to plenty of other ITG stuff.

24) Have you ever been to an ITG tourney or big ITG get-together?
LOTS of times. In fact, those are some of my best opportunities to hang out with the Colorado Springs guys.

25) Do you use speedmods? And what speedmod would you use on say, Summer speedy mix?

Actually - and I might be the only one to answer this way - no. I play 1x 99% of the time. Not because I think it's the right way to play (actually, it's incredibly frustrating), but because no one else does it, and I like to carve out my own niche.

However, that being said, if I DID happen to be using speed mods on Summer, I'd probably play on 3x, Mini, Hallway.

Well, that was fun. Now I'm going to sneak a peak at everyone else's answers.

5) About how far away do you live from an ITG machine?

9) Which of the 11s below do you think is the hardest to pass or the most tiring? Easiest? hardest to FA?
a Monolith (easiest pass)
b July
c Pandemonium hard (hardest pass, tiring, FA)

c Euphoria (easiest pass, hard FA)

16) Do like having a crowd watching you play or not?
-Absolutley

17) Do you like to be the only one using the machine, or do like to play with other people?
-It depends. While I do like a crowd, I kinda like to be the only one there because I almost never get to play at the arcade and the machine's awful price policy means I usually don't get to play a whole lot if theres lots of people. Besides, there are no spectators passing by at Arena 51 like there were back at Keansburg amusement park where I used to play when I lived in NJ.

18) Do you ever bar rape? If so, on how difficult of songs?
-Almost never at home, only on some of the hardest songs. At the arcade I almost always do it, although very occassionally I find myself letting go keeps me a tad more steady on easy songs.

-898

20) Do you consider yourself an ITG nerd?
-No
21) Are you more excited for ITG2 cs or ITG3 ac?

22) What kind of shoes do you where when you play ITG?
-Some Nike shoe

23) Would you rather win a free car, or a free ITG2 machine?
