One year and still addicted

Every year, over the Labor Day weekend, I go with my wife to her weekend-long family reunion, in the middle of nowhere near Ft. Wayne, IN.

It's OK, but it's hardly what I'd call thrilling, and I'm definitely glad to come home afterwards. But last year was the worst, because just a week before, I had built up my courage and tried DDR for the first time.

All weekend long, I had the tune to "Holic" running through my head, though I didn't know it was called that at the time. I kept practicing the off-beat arrows on the floor at my wife's grandma's house. I also was singing "Nori Nori Nori" all weekend.

Well, here it is, one year later, and I'm still completely addicted. I got bored of Tetris, Dr. Mario and Point Blank within a few months, and other games I've been addicted to (Zelda: A Link to the Past, Starfox 64, Super Mario Bros.) got boring after I finished them.

But I get antsy if I go several days without playing DDR, and I look hard to find an hour or so to carve out of my schedule to pop into GameWorks. And I'm totally pumped about the new DDRMAX2 for PS2, even though I still play DDRMAX and even Konamix all the time.

Anyone else in my boat, or am I just a freak? ;)

You're just a freak, but I'm in the same boat :)

In Orlando last week, I kept getting weird - sometimes nasty - looks from my parents because my brother and I hunted down and played every single DDR machine we could find.

We even missed out on one last ride on Hulk one day because my brother and I had to stick around and play just one more game -- then it started pouring rain. Oh well, more DDR! :)

I'm closing in on one year. I blame Kara for getting me started.

I'm not as into it right now because I've just been too busy, but I look forward to the new PS2 version next month and the X-Box version the month after.

DELETED! What time does the water show start?

I played my first game a little over a year ago; on August 21st to be exact, during a family vacation to Orlando at Islands of Adventure. I saw it down the Jersey shore, but decided not to play. The next time I played was during PPP and then I didn't play again until I moved down here to Orlando in January.

Now, I play whenever I get the chance...be it at Motown, XS, Magic Kingdom, wherever. So yeah, I've been playing often for about seven months now with no intention of stopping...
