I have discovered StepMania!

[tsukikage]

I'm seriously starting to get addicted to StepMania. I just wish I had a pad so I could actually get me some exercise (and so I could those stupid up/downs better). I've been particularly enjoying White Reflection - not only is it a great song, but the person who made the steps did a really great job! If only I could get a feel for Simple and Clean's Wait and See's rythym. I don't know how the creator of those steps was listening to it when they made them, but I can never get them at the right time.
Which makes me think... I wonder if psychologists have ever used Bemani games to test visual and auditory timing. From my personal experience, it seems that I can time better using auditory cues.
Anyways, I was going to go home tonight to give my dad the money I owe him... But it's getting too late, so I guess I'll do it tomorrow. For now, I'm gonna go take a shower and get to studying.

[EDIT: I forgot to mention that Tori's (yumenohoshi) parents said I could go with them to Chicago for the JLPT. YES! I'll have to stay hotel Saturday night hotel, but since I'll be splitting the cost of that with Tori (~$80/2=$40), it'll be cheaper than the Greyhound + no hotel (~$100 if I order my tickets a week in advance) anyway. Plus, it'll give us a chance to hang out and review before the test.
THERE IS EXACTLY ONE MONTH UNTIL THE NIHONGO NOURYOKU SHIKEN!!!]

Poor DDR.... it didn't do anything wrong... people just like copying it, add some different music, then say there's a new game thats better called "blah blah blah"...

Wait... StepMania is a DDR/Pump It Up EMULATOR!

pretty much, but it's not DDR, just a computerized/modified/fingeried copy.

If you connect a dance pad to it it is.
