:idea: I'll always be at Acme on Saturdays from about 4:30ish to 8:00 at the latest. :idea:

I'll always be wearing my signature white work shirt with black pants, so it's impossible to miss me!

Is there any Azn at Acme that doesn't dress like a wangster?

Wow, I sure felt out of place when i was there.

Yours truly

I dress gangsterish with my LA fitted hat and my gangsterish clothing style but I don't bang

Edit: Oh you said wangster lol. But I'm still no wannabe

uh i believe the term is 'wanksta'

hmm kinda splitting hairs there but true

OMG

i FA'd the first stream on AIR

im improving

itg is a fun game

NEWS:  A PIU Pro kit arrived today.  Will install in the cabinet, and with some luck the game should be at Acme early next week.   

Which Pump cabinet is the PIU:Pro going into?

The old Zero cabinet you have all played on many times before.  RIP Zero!

You mean the TRG niggaz?

Hey Bill so what's at Paradise now?

One less dance game at paradise.  PIU replaced with a shooter.  now the bad news.  the Pro kit is not running.  Going in to error and rebooting.  Will keep you all posted on progress once we know more.   

The Pump cabinet knows an abomination when it sees one.  :-P

YAY!  It's up and running in the warehouse.  Will be delivered Tuesday morning.  Hope you enjoy

I'll be looking forward to it when I get back from England!

Hopefully I'll still have a chance at some machine records.

Sweet stuff!  I might be heading up on tuesday to Seattle.  I'll bug my friend to go to Acme too.  Heh.

RIP Paradise

I'll be heading down there right after work on Tuesday. (~5pm)

ROFLROFLROFLROFL

Yup, I did tonight. It was all right. I sightread and S'd Xuxa CZ with 1 good (96.xx%)

Pump Pro is seriously fun. I was worried that it was going to end up so much like In The Groove as to lose what makes Pump... Pump, but instead it's basically just Pump with what I believe to be a much better interface, with a lot of popular previous Pump songs and some Kyle Ward music.

Essentially, I'm really happy with how it turned out and may now actually play dance games.

Edit> It should be noted that I don't play charts at levels nearly as high as most of you guys, so my opinion gets invalidated at a certain point.

Also, "haha, i havent seen you at acme since 2005 or 04 i believe."... Acme didn't exist until late 2005.

I really want to come back and take some scores. Maybe even go for 99s on some songs. How is the timing compared to ITG? Larger? Smaller?

It's a lot easier than ITG, but harder than Pump It Up, and there's a judgement above Perfect. The dumb thing is there's no "Bad" rating so some stuff that should be Goods gets pushed into Misses.

No anothers, no missions, no new (good) songs, no full versions, barely any remixes...yeah I'll play NX and NX2.

There's "superb" above perfects...

The menu system took 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Back to exceed in fact. You have to choose your song, then you choose your difficulty. I finally found out the ratings were under the song banner, and the default sort makes absolutely no sense at all.

@BILL: The machine's time limits need to be increased so everyone can figure out how the new system works and allows time to find out and hear samples of the new songs. It's like 30 seconds now? It's just not enough, because it's not like ITG where you can do your options after you choose your song; you have to do it all before.

As for song choices, you have the old ITG songs, all complete with their ridiculous charts converted to ridiculous pump charts. This kinda actually works because Pump already had a bunch of crazy, BS charts... they just added the BS ITG charts and they fit in more than they did with 4 arrows. This doesn't mean that they're fun though, they just fit in. There was one new song I played that was good, but I played 3 new ones that weren't very inspiring.

Pros: Old Pump Songs, Easy to get back to the old Pump arrow skin (after figuring out the new mod system), Timing is still loose (not AS loose, but still enough for having fun on doubles. It's 5 arrow. Machine's screen is bright, and very nice.

Cons: Everything new is ITG. Mines, ridiculous charts, blah songs. No notification in the main menu that both credits have been registered until you get into the song select.

Will I be playing it?  Yes, but only because it's 5 arrow, not because it's ITG.
Disclaimers: Part of my menu frustration could be from the short time limit that didn't give me time to figure it out.

I WANNA PLAY I WANNA PLAY I WANNA PLAY!!!! Someone should ship a PP out here to Okinawa. I haven't seen ANY Pump machines. My pump skillz are gonna go down the drain. But DDR is through the roof lately. At least I have Supernova 2 out here.
