Dust. Everywhere! DUST.I have a bag of Replay tokens gathering dust and corrosion. In the last seven months I have not played DDR - mostly due to the on-set of summer, and then due to blasted WORK not being very helpful (I was always playing in the city, but now my common pathway is work-home-work-home-friend's place-home-rinse-repeat. Whenever I'm in the city I'm usually nowhere near the right

2005-01-16T16:29:00.000+10:00

And Then There Were NONE.I swear, if those other two don't post something in here sooner rather than later I'm going to rename this place Candy*Grrl and hideify the entire layout. With stripes. BRIGHT stripes. Team player Panic has shifted butt down south to Sydney; last I heard he intended to get back into DDR, but instead of slaying himself on Heavy he's going to regress to Standard and

Good grief, the dust in here!Looks like too much of a good thing *is* possible. http://www.theomahachannel.com/family/3472497/detail.html Finally recovering from an upper respiratory tract infection. Probably won't be DDRing anytime soon because of it too! So unfit now, it's not funny. I mean, c'mon - I used to be able to dash up the stairs from the North Quay CityCat two at a time without

Want some Cheap Gamin'?The Brisbane Anime Society is going to be booking a two hour gaming session at Replay where you can play *anything* (except for ticket-games to redeem prizes), all for the bargain price of $14 (which works out to roughly paying for 36 tokens, which can be used up in less than 45 minutes if you play the right games). For more info, please visit this link: http://

Damn You All!Well, more specifically, the other Candy*Boys, yeah why am I the only one who ever posts in here anymore!? Anyways, I passed Butterfly on Heavy on Tuesday; Go me! But am badly, BADLY out of shape and practice in regards to DDR. Songs I know I can get through with no trouble I completely flubbed; and some Heavy songs I tried which I would've lasted for a while before I died well...

2004-02-09T00:58:00.000+10:00

2 Steps Forward, 3 Steps Back Played today with Panic after a month of not. Got my best score yet on "Look to the Sky" Std. (only 2 misses! I'm aiming for consistently less than 5 misses on all my songs, rather than how many Perfects or Greats... though really, I should be working on my accuracy as well, ne?). Every other song after that was a blaaaah. Didn't even last 30 seconds on "Cutie

2003-12-31T03:00:00.000+10:00

So Dirty...Today I played. Today I sucked. That is all. Aside from fruitloops! And oh! I got to see Full-Combo Joel in action after not seeing him around for ages so that was pretty kewl; and met some new guy called Paul who thinks he's crazy and insane in regards to DDR... heh. He don't know the *meaning* of the word; obviously hasn't met some of the other guys from RTF/LoS yet! Very nice

2003-12-22T16:15:00.000+10:00

I Played for Six Hours Straight!...and have monkeys with flamin' swords comin' outta my butt. It's too hot to DDR. Go away...

2003-11-24T23:28:00.000+10:00

So Small It's Microscopic...But I don't care! I DID IT!!! I finally got my first goddamn "A" in freakin' Standard mode (but I still missed one stinkin' step) on my favorite song, "Look to the Sky" wearing dodgy slip-on sneaker-clog things which have elastic strap bits at the back. Yeah. Not the best grip/fit for DDR but AAAH! I did it! Now I just have to get past my stupid ceiling/block... *

2003-11-09T12:38:00.000+10:00

And In Other News Shoujo posted on the Candy*Boys Blog today, which is an amazing occurrence. Or some shit. The contents of the post were as follows : I've been through a spate of not DDRing because of illness or no cash. Now I have a regularly paying (although the quantity of that amount varies) job, but I haven't been DDRing properly. Reasons include, wanting to spend money on other items,

2003-10-29T14:36:00.000+10:00

Stayin' AliveHaaaa, haaaa, haaaa.... Got plenty of tokens but no time to use 'em! Dratted exams. ...And as the weather gets warmer, DDR's gonna get hotter. Wetter. Gonna feel that sweat sliding down yer skin, heart-beat gone mad, ya just push it in -- slot tokens clink and slosh of drink, ice-cold ambrosia, slide it down your throat... See Naru? I blogged! ::evilsnicker:: I haven't been out

Fuck you, Blogger. You post-eating piece of shit. Nothing's going right for me, today.

2003-09-15T13:15:00.000+10:00

Supanova Creamery Goodness Well, it's been and gone. We have had happiness and funtimes and soreness and geekness and poorness and gloominess and bordeness. Tigris and I both worked the anime theatre while Panic sat on his fat arse at his table in artist's alley. I missed Saturday because I was graduating from uni. I'm sure more will be posted but it was fun and stuff. Wheee!!!!

2003-09-09T16:32:00.000+10:00

Passionfruit Crunch!*NB: You might want to read the post below this one too -- Bill wrote it. Actually, no, just ignore the thing he's bitching about his cold and flu and general state of ill-being; which is ALL THE TIME. I remain and continue to stagnate at six-feet. *cracks knuckles and looks around* Meh. I'm bored already. Go away.

2003-09-09T16:28:00.000+10:00

Short Skirt Yep. I did DDR today for the first time since my current sickness. I am foooley sick d0000d!!!! I have had some flu or something, so today I risked life and limb just so that I could blog it for you. Aren't you impressed? No? Well fuck off then!!! Ummm... right. Okay. So I tried some standard and some hard stuff and didn't suck too badly. Well not until I died anyway. At any rate, I

?????????? MY SISTER AND MY BROTHER!!! We will take over the world with the domination of entertainmentalism. Comrade Panic & Sister Kinoko will launch their hidden attack upon the world of doujin! Like the hidden mystical speculum locked deep within the memories of the Gods, the force of the art will be released, exploding the joy of the comic book into the hearts and minds of all!!! MY BROTHER

Most probably due to too much mental conditioning as a child to 'Don't Talk to Strangers!' Finally got a 'C' on Std. DamDariRam and after some unexpected, en-booted shoes playing Saturday night (ouchie)

2003-08-15T15:44:00.000+10:00

cackle-cackle!DDR + minimal sleep = jelly legs and crap accuracy/reflexes. That is all.

2003-08-03T18:24:00.000+10:00

Squishyware Upgraded!* Recommend reading Shoujo's earlier post (below this one) before going any further! In the tradition of every happy exhibitionist with an ego to maintain, this dude also kept flickin' his eyeballs around to see if any skanky chicks were watchin' him bust his uber l33t and oh so way-too-kewl stunts on da floor! that ultimately does nothing more than fuck up the left stage's

2003-08-03T10:52:00.000+10:00

Hardcore Well I met up with Tigris yesterady, quite by accident, after MangaGuru spotted me passing through Replay. I returned later and Tigris and I had a few games. She is improving and doing mostly 5-6 step standards now. In between some of our games there was a guy playing. I assume he's RTF or LoS from his skill level, but his technique made me wonder. He was doing Heavy songs and doing

2003-07-19T04:01:00.000+10:00

Just an idea... Feedback, please. UPDATE! I did this mostly on the bus today.

2003-07-18T17:06:00.000+10:00

Superstar Hmm... well yesterday I had to drop trusty iBook off for repairs after the harsh brutality that is travelling, so I decided to make a kind of "day" of "it". Was supposed to meet Tigris & Panic for DDR, but Panic called me up, explaining that because he was a lazy bitch who spent all night snorting cocaine and banging his bitches while luxuriating in a Hello Kitty shaped bathtub filled

2003-06-24T13:15:00.000+10:00

As regards the 10K Commotion... It's not that the characters all look like models that makes me dislike the comic. If that were an issue, I'd hate MegaTokyo too. No, it's that they also dress, act, and have hairstyles like models. Tigris, elsewhere, drew a comparison to Beverly Hills 90210, and I concur. -- old-school 90210 at any rate. The 10K cartoonist-chick, whose name I forget but let's

2003-06-19T11:43:00.000+10:00

New Improved CandyBoys!!! I write you from Replay on Albert Street in the city, courtesy of my new airport wireless equipped iBook and the free internet supplied by OurBrisbane.com! Whacko! Anyhoo, after a brief hiatus induced by general apathy and a lack of desire to get our arses into gear, we have converged for a morning of DDRing. I'm writing this, because after two games (one normal vs in

2003-06-12T04:24:00.000+10:00

Urban Legends are True!Okay, I confess! I shamelessly yoinked this link of a DDR webcomic called "The 10k Commotion" off MacHall.com, but anyways "10k" is relevant, it's got a nice 'sketchy' style, and backpacks with wings are just sweet... ^_^ And... One of the characters looks like me! *indulges in nanosecond flash of vanity*

2003-06-01T01:00:00.000+10:00

Ice, Ice Baby!It may not be DDR, but it's fun, it's exhilirating, it's damn cool (need gloves! frozen nose! *aack!*) and it's exercise. We went ice-skating! Fun fun fun! I am so gonna suck when I start doing DDR again after my exam...

2003-03-29T21:16:00.000+10:00

Instead of writing a proper update, I'm just going to cut and paste a message Gurt posted in our commenty machine of doom, only I'll put it in italics so you know it's him and not me. Clever, eh? Also, this heading is very long. Oh, and war is bad. DDREX in Replay is now 4 stages, same price. Tops has it at 3 stages (we're probably going to try to negotiate soon, because Replay's new setup for

2003-03-26T02:32:00.000+10:00

Signs of lifeUnfortunately for all, we're still alive. Fortunately though, we're not blogging. The last time I actively DDR'd was when I played DDR-EX for the first time, which was... a long time ago. More than a month ago, in fact. Bugger. Let me know when it's not so expensive... ^_^

2003-02-28T22:09:00.000+10:00

Huh? Oh, the comp. Yeah. Well, it was cool. I got to put a bunch of faces to names, and very friendly faces they were too. I decided against bringing my dictaphone because, well, Replay is loud. It's hard enough having a conversation in there at all without having to record it. I did compete, just for fun, but I think maybe I was being too casual about it, cause I found myself playing far from

2003-02-18T13:09:00.000+10:00

Her Majesty Says...DDREX has the same announcer from MAX and MAX2, but he says a few more things... I think. Nothing outstanding though. BORING! ¬ Panic. As I mentioned to P-chan at the time (sorry, been watching Ranma OVAs! P-CHAAAAN! LOL! ) they should have a nice female announcer for a change. It'd be different, I'm sure the guys would appreciate it (unless she had some whiny-hyper

2003-02-17T13:55:00.000+10:00

Clever Title Okay, first up: commenting is disabled at the moment, and a couple of recent comments may have vanished. This is nothing to do with us: Haloscan must have over-extended themselves. Oh well. Details about the comp, which happens next weekend, are here. It runs over Saturday and Sunday, I think, and starts at 11am both days, I think. Registration starts at 10am on Saturday, I think.

2003-02-15T00:02:00.000+10:00

Filled With Sweat. And Loooooooove!!!! Okay. So Tigris and I did the DDr thang, and despite my hammered knee (thanks to my bloody czat!!!), I wasn't able to display my usual fly stylin's of bad ass n00bness to all of Tops. I did, however, score a B in Superstar in Standard and aced it with AA in light with a 1.5 speed and boost. Sure, it's not some big bad assed MAX300 victory or nothing, but

2003-02-12T23:04:00.000+10:00

NOOO!! MY POCKYYYYY!!! So anywho, according to Our Zany Pals, Replay -- at last! -- has EXXXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMAAAH!!!!! now, so I guess I'd better get my booty in there and shake it, shake it. I'll report back with a full, uh, report, once I've... done... that. Okay, looks like I've run out of steam pretty quickly this time. OZP are also talking about that comp thingy... apparently it's on

2003-02-11T23:52:00.000+10:00

Playtime Emancipation!For some reason I kept thinking emasculation but no, that's not quite accurate... But yeah! No more Playtime tokens! Only Replay ones left, and one weirdo token with "Orbit" embossed on it, along with a corny lil' rocket image. Hruh. Where in Brisbane can I use that one!? Bill's knee is stuffed because his cat made a bargain with the Fates to send him knee-tobogganing down

2003-01-26T13:24:00.000+10:00

Yee-haw! Playing with Shawn last night after BAS, I got my first AA! Yay! ...on Candy, appropriately enough. Not bad considering I'd just been harassed by some possibly semi-drunk thirtysomething wanker whose stock response to anything I said to him was to call me a child (oh the horror), as though, you know, his wandering around an arcade and pissing people off for no reason was the epitome of

Shoujo TIGRIS Panic is Back!!What, you think I don't like the ego boost? Now my name is on the front page twice!!! Bwa ha haha haha ahahahaha!!!In other notes, I've been an read a certain teams notice board, and I would like to apologise to those people I summarily lumped into the same category as the Terries who felt the need to rain on our bright pink parade. In other news, I have a new mouse.

2003-01-22T02:12:00.000+10:00

Welcome Back, Shoujo!No real point to this entry other than the fact that all the scrolling in the comments box was getting annoying (29 entries!); and to see how long before Shoujo gets sick of seeing his name every time the page loads... ^_^;

2003-01-15T03:24:00.000+10:00

Did someone say Sanrio©? EVIL!Fact: Everything I could possibly think of saying has already been said, so I won't continue that thread. I like to think that I'm not that sensitive, but in reality, I think I am. I tend to be a really good bluffer. But like I've mentioned earlier, I found the whole scenario to be rather pathetically amusing, so I didn't curl up and hide or begin scrabbling around

2003-01-14T14:51:00.000+10:00

Cheers. Well, everything seems to be working out, now. Much goodwill is being exchanged, and you're missing half of it if you don't haul your arse over here. Many thanks go especially to the diplomatic EBE and GurtyGurt, and even to the cuddly Growly, even though my pet raccoon, Sally, has never recovered from the trauma you put her through, you bloody bastard. Huggles also to the very upset

2003-01-14T02:04:00.000+10:00

Just a matter of time, really... If I were a sneering, smug type, right now, I'd be all, "Ha ha ha, eat shit, losers!" but I'm not, so I'm not. How to begin? I'll talk for a moment about teams, for anybody reading who might be happily ignorant of such stuff. Here in Brisbane, and around the country and the world, there exist Dance Dance Revolution teams for people who wish to play the game

2003-01-10T01:17:00.000+10:00

On another note... This is definitely the most fun I've had on the interweb in a long time. By the way, Bill, another thing... you lumped a bunch of names together there... I'm not sure that all of those people have been actively abusing us. I think some of them just think we're idiots, and I can't think why that should be unacceptable. Just a thought.

2003-01-09T17:23:00.000+10:00

Profound Profanities Thanks to our special guests ZenitH@LoS, Memphis@RTF, dfogx, cams & kups, who have been gracing us with their badly spelled, mystical taunts and tantrums and profoundly bad grammar recently. I mean, I've flamed people before but my severe lack of ability to hammer MAX300 mirrored & reversed with a boost in ONI mode means that I can't even insult people to the level that this

2003-01-07T18:31:00.000+10:00

You boring bastards! The internet is talking about DDREX, which is fine, but nobody's telling me anything I actually care about. On messageboards everywhere, these arseholes are throwing jargon at me like I'm holding up a sign saying THROW JARGON AT ME PLEASE, carrying on about which songs now have such a number of feet, instead of some other number of feet, and which songs you have to AAA if

Merry December! NEWS IN BRIEFS: (Get it? Briefs. Ha ha ha ha ha!) [1] I can actually pass a few songs in heavy mode, now. Just barely, though, and only the easy ones. In double, though, so, you know, not too shabby.

Oh look! I found a token!A word to the wise, and not so wise -- do not DDR in heeled sandals. Slippery it is. Danger of tripping, and breaking ankle a possibility there is! And if you're a guy wearing heeled sandals... No comment. But I'm very sure you're a nice person! If you're a guy wearing heeled sandals and playing DDR, I am amazed and impressed and walking in the opposite direction...

Stinky Panda Man So anyway, Panic and Tigris came to my opening matinee of the show I'm doing at the moment (see here for more info) and after that I made the mistake of going to play DR with them. Ewwww. I haven't played for like, two months, so I was not that crash hot, but I did all right. I did almost pass out from the exertion, but that was understandable. Problem was, then I had to go and

Why yes, I am the man. Today, I finally, finally cleared BREAK DOWN! in standard double. This has been my big goal for some time now, see, and I feel good about it. It was neat. I yelled "Yes!" alot, like some annoying child actor in a movie about something, only my yelling was, of course, manly and sexy and things. Really, it was amazing. By the time I'd gotten past the bits that normally

Has anyone seen my groove?On Sunday afternoon, Levi and I were playing DDR at Tops, and I was kicking big arse. I warmed up with a round of light double, then slid smoothly into standard double and versus, at which I kicked big arse, as I think I may have mentioned already. I had made my way into The Zone with ease, and found myself improving quickly over the course of a couple of rounds. I was,

I'm a Cow. Hear Me Moo...Sorry, Bill. Only meant to gently tease - and hey, it *did* get you to blog which was the ulterior motive, so yes! When do dress rehearsals start? Any pictures yet? TELL!!! But yeah, I think part of my problem with DDRing at the very start was transitioning from club-style dancing to programmed/co-ordinated dancing... Playing by oneself is not only slightly less fun,

2002-11-03T12:08:00.000+10:00

Does DDR Equate With Dancing? Oh bum. I had to dance yesterday. And it was hard. Oh so hard! In this pantomime thingy I'm in (see my blog for more details), I had to dance. Let's get one thing perfectly clear. Anything I though about DDR making me able to dance is bull. I can press big-arse buttons with my feet in time to the arrows on the screen and the beat, but having to memorise the moves

DXY!? Y!!? YYYYY!!?Oh, oh, I totally got full combo in DXY! on light double yesterday, but the machine still said I missed a step. Stupid lying machine! I did not! Shawn was there. She saw it. I have witnesses, and I'm going to sue Konami for causing me big pain or something. You mark my words, whoever you are. I can actually do four or five feet in standard double (and single) now without too

!La musica es muy bien!Okay, I'm pseudo-sure Patrick may already have one or both of the OSTs, but for usefulness' sake one might find the mp3s to DDRMAX2 - 7th Mix OST 1 and OST 2 of some use... The ID Music site as a whole is very useful for music and other stuff to similar related stuff (eg. Dancemania, GuitarFreaks, DrumMania, BeatMania, etc). So! This'll tide me over until I can purchase

Where'd Your Title Go?* Blinks at Patrick's scribbling. Eh? Oooh. That was approx. 24 hours ago! LATE!? This ain't late!!! you don't know the meaning of the word late! And incidentally I never knew Bill had a mobile; therefore, I never knew his mobile number. And hence, I could never make that call! Such stupid simple logic... That's the coffee and mudcake talkin'. Ignore HER!!! *hehhe!* OH!

2002-10-11T00:53:00.000+10:00

Shit of Xenu, I can't stop watching that dancing banana. Shawn, Bill and I may see you tomorrow. Call Bill on his mobile during the day for whatever details there might be. Hee hee hee! Look at him go! He just keeps on dancing! EDIT: Today, I mean. Not tomorrow. Damn these late nights.

Will She Won't She After classes Friday afternoon I think I'm going to wander by Myers' Tops and Replay and feed some change to the DDR beasts. I've thought about this. I want to do this. In fact, I need to do this as the previous 48 hours accumulated stress requires some serious physical venting! And the fact that I wimped out this afternoon because I was too shy to butt in on this one dude

I am here, and my name is chaos Rap is to me like music is to Amadeus Wolfgang, the famous composer When I stepped in I told him to move over I am the new kid on the block And the mission - to make your body rock And to all the fools that think they're tough You'll never beat me, cuz I'm just too rough For my nature, my habitat, and even my environment Don't

DearDR Diary... I got new frames today! No more Harry Potter glasses! Yaaay! I was in the city all by my lonesome, handsome self today, getting these glasses done, and it was a good chance to muck around with double a bit more. So, you know, I did. I'm getting pretty okay at it, too! I got some good grades and combos and whatnot, all in basic mode and no more than five feet, but still, I am

Not an ordinary guy!...coz I don't have the appropriate equipment, thankyou very much... >_<;; But whoa! HEY! Second round of DDR and I can actually do the shit now! Yeah yeah, it's a few days on from the fact but I've been running around or sleeping. A lot. Last Saturday was last month's designated DDR Day™; not that I'm restricting myself to only one day a month where I make every muscle group

Yes, Patrick. Just for the record, while Shawn and Patrick were DDRing, I was at Helensvale enjoying a friends a 21st birthday party. And all that stuff about the testicle is false. I had a growth right above my spine and have been DDR-less for a week now, thanks to the stitches. Nice and simple solution to those people who put money into your machine while you are playing - simply put a piece of

Ooh, I nearly forgot. You'll love this, Bill. Shawn and I were playing at Tops or Topps or Topz or whatever it is on Saturday -- let's cut the bullshit and call it Playtime, shall we? The tokens say Playtime, it's Playtime. We were at Playtime on Saturday and this one guy did the coin-in-not-on-the-machine queue-type thing. Now, we'd assumed this practice was limited to Replay, but you see, it's

I've realised it's quite likely that Candy Boys is the name of a porn film, but I don't have the balls to type it into Google and check. So anyway, get this... We were like at the arcade, right, and Bill's like hitting on this semi-goth chick, okay, like putting the moves on her and everything, okay, and all of a sudden she like totally knees him in the balls! So he's screaming in pain and I

Christmas is heeeeere... Christmas is heeeeeeeeere... You'd never guess that Bill doesn't have a girlfriend. Oh, and it's Nikki Webster. Tch. Bill's right about one thing, at least -- possibly more but we'll just pretend not to notice them, eh? Versus mode is a way-neato way-way to meet people. It's not like you're going to have lunch with them or anything, but if you're me, and you shared a

DDR Perverts & Their Filthy Habits Minding my own business today, doing a little worship at the neon altar of Konami when the DDR perverts rock up. I've seen these guys at a couple of the local gaming halls and they always do the same thing. They rock up, put money in the machine and their entourage of skinny 14 year old girls hop on and dance. And they watch. Now, I assume that they are not from

2002-09-20T12:57:00.000+10:00

Silent Hill? If only. So, Silent Hill by Thomas Howard. What the fuck was Konami thinking!? It's fucking horrendous! The lyrics alone ram enough cheese down my throat to make me physically sick, but why stop there, eh Thomas? Why not pound yourself in the neck with a big hammer until your singing voice is shot, and then hire a special ed class to record and produce the track, layering on every

Who needs sleep? Bleh. I don't like this page layout anymore... maybe when I have a free moment again I'll figure out something else that's not so... pink. Or features the same image as Bill's new layout... :P :] Oooh. Bold lettering, he has learnt. Scary possibilities, has this indeed! The Jedi mindtrick's not working... is it? :P

2002-09-18T21:35:00.000+10:00

HEY BILL HOW DO YOU DO THESE TITLE THINGS oh okay I worked it out. Neato!

2002-09-18T21:22:00.000+10:00

Yes, you need more coffee. Much, much more

Bad Poetry; More Caffeine! * Is fresh blooded newbie still learning the ways and wisdom of DDR. BAH!!! What's this? DDR? Oh how do you play It looks like fun; let's dance all day I'm new at this but let's have a try Is anyone watching; I feel so shy I like to dance, go clubbing and more But something like this - never before! I feel so gawkish; I'm so "unco" This short chicked Asian's feelin'

Bill's feet are freaking huge, and his shoes are -- as is the way -- even bigger. Sometimes he'll miss an arrow because even though he's stepped on the right spot, the bottom of his enormous shoe has made a bridge from the metal on one side of the arrow to the metal on the other side, thus preventing it -- by surely no more than a fraction of a millimetre -- from touching the arrow proper. I

2002-09-18T16:28:00.000+10:00

And my favourite part : nobody steps on anyone elses feet. Unless they're playing with me.

2002-09-18T15:57:00.000+10:00

The thing with DDR is, not only are you dancing with a machine, but also, the machine is leading.

Is That Your Kidney On The Machine? One thing that never ceases to amaze me is are differences and similarities between video game arcades. Not so much the games - I mean, everyone has DDR, SilentScope and Daytona - but more the people and their behaviours. Take queue ettiquette for example. My fellow Candyboys and I went to the local 'Replay Family Entertainment Center' after a rather enjoyable
