Rolla coasta lova, and a DDR maniac
Den: I agree with you on the D&B/GWs thing. Our D&B is very nice while our GWs is really not. Our D&B is twice the size of Columbus' but of GWs is half the size of yours. At least at D&B when I play Pump, I can actually hear it, versus GWs where I can't hear that, DDR, and Percussion Freaks because of how loud the GTV plays overhead. They don't get the fact that you have to HEAR a rhythm game in order to play it correctly.
As a matter of fact, I sometimes prefer our Jillians to GWs, even though it only has Pump. As far as our other places, it's mostly malls that have the other games. That's where our Extreme is, in a mall. I want to come up to GWs in C-bus just to play Guitar Freaks once, and find a Beatmania, but I'll settle for GFs.
As far as club songs go, usually if I like a song enough from a club, I'll hunt down the song and make an DWI out of it and post it somewhere. I've done about 60 DWI/SMs and about 20-30 of them are usually club anthems. They just seem like natural fits....

Not to mention, of the other games I played, at least half of them had something wrong with them, such as the gun calibration being two feet off, or a button not working, or the screen being too dim. I've never had these problems at D&B.
I do like Guitar Freaks though, and as far as I know, GW is the only place that has it. I'd like to play BeatMania or ParaParaParadise but I don't think there's any of those in town at all.
The Columbus Jillian's closed last year. Which sucked because, while they had no DDR, they had free pool during lunch, and some cool games. But it was downtown where no one ever goes, and the road in front of it closed for the Nationwide Arena construction, so I think that did it in.
Let me know if you ever come up here and I'll meet you somewhere.

Jeff, I'm still laughing at that response that Steph got from D&B. Going past all of the typos and stuff, it's still a bunch of crappity-crap-crap. They've had Pump-It-Up (PU for short) for about a year and a half now, long before Konami closed its US office.

So after we brushed the tools aside, we had a good time playing, and I even beat Paranoia Evolution and Orion on a public machine for the first time (6-step songs I can do at home, but always have trouble in the arcade).
After sitting one out for the crybabies who wanted to be attention whores (they looked around after every song to see who was watching), Steph did some doubles. Funny thing is, people were more interested to watch her do 4-step doubles than to watch those losers do 9-foot singles.
I was half tempted to ask what they were doing there sans girls late on a Saturday night (the local teen hoochies were more interested in some skater boys), but that would've been rude.
So while Steph is doing doubles, this kid comes up to me and says, "Well you guys aren't your typical teenagers playing this game." I wasn't sure what to make of it, though at that point I realized we were easily the oldest people in the place without kids at 28 and 29. I asked him how old he thought we were, and he said 27, so I let him live.

That question is priceless. I still get the odd look here too when I say 33. Usually followed by the customary 'You should be a spokesperson for this game, like that Jared guy for Subway.' after they find out about my weight loss.....

Den: I did Paranoia Survivor, Bag, Cartoon Heroes, and A. I think I like the new songs, not quite sure yet. Didn't AA third song Heavy any time to try Legend of Max extra stage because there was this really annoying guy there who kept wanting to play with me and then insisted on choosing the songs. When I tried to do Oni courses he stood on the other pad and shadowed me, even after I told him I'd rather him not, which is really rude and annoying AFAIC. Other than that I had a pretty good time, Mo was there and another kid I recognized from Midwest Showdown II (big tournament up in Brighton, MI last August).
