Quick! Downgrade to DDRMAX for the final few weeks! Please! I even have a set of MAX discs if you need them!

Have anything lower than that? Because you should totally downgrade to the lowest DDR possible. Just for shits and giggles.

^ 5th Mix no-bar tourny FTW!

Bill,

We are pending all kinds of craziness (potential move to California among other things) but we have a CD for exactly 2,500 coming available on Sept. 18 and, once we know what we're doing, REALLY REALLY REALLY want this machine. Any chance you can wait 2 weeks for an answer? :O

Laura, depending on the area you're moving to in Cali, there's currently an Extreme machine for sale in Los Angeles on Ebay for local pickup.

I'm not trying to detract from Bill's sale, it's justa  lot easier to pick a machine up down there, as opposed to moving it all teh way from Washington.

Right, which is why I said maybe. Basically, Tony's gone through a LOT of job interviews, some local, some in CA. We're staying unless one particular company he really wants to work for gives him an offer, which we'll know around the time that CD is up, hence the 2 weeks.

The machine is not planned to be pulled for about 3-4 more weeks, so lot's of time there.  Sure Laura, let me know when you know if you want it.  I do not think you have much competition for it.  Yes, that would be a real pig to haul to California. 

Can someone please take off the long version thing on ITG please? I thought we agreed that this wouldn't be turned on if long custom songs aren't a problem

Taking my ideas eh?  Though I agree that'd be a kick ass tournament.

We had one of those a few years ago; it was called Let's Groove 4.

I remember that fondly... 1x, no freezes to suck at holding, and nothing over a 9... the only tournament I could ever have a chance to place in.

Did you actually have 4 of these events, or did you just pick a random number when deciding the name?

We actually had four of these events. I only went to LG3 and LG4 because I was a small little kid during the time of the first two. Didn't stop me from going to DDR Magic 3 though, I guess,

Even *I* wasn't at LG1. LG2 holds some fond memories, though... Paradise still had a Solo back then

Edit: Wait, wait. Kevin, you're wrong! It was LG5 that was 5th mix. LG4 was that tournament at Bowlero that ran for like twelve hours and the speakers broke and people got so bored that they started making videos about HOW BORED THEY WERE. Hahahahahahaha.

Might start coming here again now that I have a car. :x Can't be bothered to play dancing games at home anymore, but I still have a bit of fun in the arcades.  Speaking of, anyone wanna buy a Blueshark metal pad? :b

Man, a year ago I would've jumped at that.  But now I've also lost interest in playing at home, sold off my Cobalt Flux, and only play in the arcade now.
I blame it on nobody developing a working PS2/PC->360 adapter so I could enjoy the awesome mixes that are Universe 1 & 3.

Just FYI, the Guitar Freaks machine currently has no sound at all.   Speakers appear offline.

I noticed that when I was there; my friend just bumped the left speaker a bit and it started working again.
But that was a temp fix of course...

Awe, no wonder it was working when the tech's checked it.
FYI, the amplifiers for GF are located inside the left speaker that is hanging on the side of the GF cabinet.  It has it's own seperate power cord.  If no sound, pull the game forward and look back there to insure it is plugged in. 
BTW, Acme staff has been told not to mess with you guys when you are doing us favors by checking things out, rebooting games, etc.  Just drop my name, that is the password, hahaha. 

Got my car back earlier than expected today so I guess I'm heading to Acme for a bit!

Awesome, Bill.  I've never had many problems with staff regarding resetting a machine or cleaning... just with putting website graphics on a few of them to find them not there later.

I hope the staff is not removing that.  I would think that they would leave it alone.  I will leave word that it should be left there.  But could just be thugs that like to rip at things.

Aaaand I'm back!

Thanks for keeping everything in immaculate condition! Hopefully I'll be able to come every Saturday to feed the machines quarters.

@Bill, I cannot confirm staff is doing it; however, just days after putting the last set of them up, they were all taken off.

Normally someone just hanging out will rip them off half-way, leaving a corner of paper or tape still lingering. I've seen that done too, so it made it seem like Acme may have been upset about previous ones being ripped off and took them down before that could happen.

Next time I go to put some up, I will redesign them a bit and put them up so they won't be able to be easily ripped off.

Gorilla Glue that shit!

haha, but seriously don't do that. It's a terrible idea.
Was there tonight everything was in working order except ITG2 stole some quarters
But I kept lightly bumping the coin slot, and then after like 3 sets, the 4 quarters it stole got registered oddly enough, so.....I didn't lose money I guess. Just letting you know the coin slot has been having problems
