Important:
If you are at Narrows and notice any problem with ANY machine, please do Bill a favor and get that machine fixed ASAP by dialing the convenient phone # located on any of his machines!  Leave a message detailing the location as Narrows and the machine and problem needing fixing (date/time works well too).

Bill also checks here, to the best of my knowledge.

About DM; I wish it could be in as good condition as the acme machine, but I guess it's just getting hammered and abused there all the time.

honestly i think the supernova pads rly suck i tried it at ds2 and were horrible both sides 2p side is slightly better but its not saying much

I had issues with SN's 2p side.

Bill checks DDRfreak too, like that really matters

I should only go during the VIP hours on Friday, because the kids there are dooouuuccchhheeeyyy.

To be fair I update Bill constantly about the machine and he does keep it fairly well repaired.  It's just the machine as a whole takes a lot of abuse which reduces its sensitivity.

I haven't actually played at the ACME location; but look forward to doing so.

I edited the topic heading to clarify that Bill checks these forums also, thanks Kevin.

hey alpha... do you play ddr at gamebreakers?  they had an extreme awhile back that was 50cents for 3 of 4 songs... they also clean the pads on request (did when i was frequently going )

Yes, the DM at Narrows gets trashed occasionaly.  Just yesterday, the entire Hi Hat was torn from the base bracket.  Another welding job.  Back together and working great.  Seems people want to rip and tear at the poor DM all the time.  But we fight it and keep it together the best we can.

Yikes, really? Geezus, well thanks for fixing it then Bill.  I'll be going to Narrows tomorrow so it's good to know it's working =D

I dunno why people do that to the poor DM; such ignorance of how awesome it is =(

Pantsu-
I generally just play at Narrows on Friday evenings.  Heh, I don't even know where gamebreakers is ^_^;;;

The time is from 6-10pm, not 6-9pm

You sure? Bill posted 6-9 pm in the ddrfreak thread.

He is right.  It used to cut off at 9:00.  Now it has been moved to around 10:00.

Ah, okay, didn't know about that change. So Fri 6-10pm then? I'll update the topic post.

I'll be there tonight sometime during the 6-10 VIP period.

Oh? Dang I usually go Fridays but this week my carpool bud is on vacation to Florida so I won't be heading out to Tacoma this evening...sorry Phylicia.  Some other time perhaps.

On that note, James (CapnCanada) may be out there tonight, but I'm not certain.

Hehe yeah we made plans to go to Narrows and hang out
