DDR: sock feet, swinging arms, laughter, squeals, up-down-left-right and new friends

DDR, or DanceDanceRevolution, was born in Japan and has made considerable progress among alternative-minded and J-rock-minded American teens.

Here's what wikipedia says about it:
Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR for short, is a music video game series introduced by Konami in 1998. It was first released as an arcade game in Japan, and several variations have been produced, including those for home use (see above; three sets are in action). It is part of the Bemani music game series, and has been released under the title Dancing Stage in Europe.


The game is typically played on a dance pad with four arrow panels: Up, Down, Left, and Right. These panels are pressed using the player's feet, in response to arrows that appear on the screen in front of the player. The arrows are synchronized to the general rhythm or beat of a song, and success is dependent on the player's ability to time his or her steps accordingly.

Go buy one and make your heart rate soar and have a big time with your friends.



Hmm; how many of you have tasted the pleasures of DDR?
