I can do it right here at the house with Dance Dance Revolution. <

>A friend and I pitched in our money to buy DDR (used) and a cheap dance pad after we got tired of waiting to try an arcade version at the mall. That game is friggin addicting. My legs are starting to feel pretty toned though. <b>The Ancient Forest<i></i>

Lemme Guess... You caught that bit about DDR & weight loss on the Today Show last Friday...<

>BTW, what mix did you pick up?<

>Dance Dance Revolution (PS1 -- US vers.)<

How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind my asking? <i></i>

Great! I would have thought that you <

I haven't played DDR that often due to the structual integrity of the house. I don't really want to jump through the floors & I don't have a TV in the basement right now... although, I may go that route soon. Otherwise, I would be playing on a near-daily basis... It beats going to a gym!<
><
>Anyways, I'm planning on building my own metal DDR stage, once I can get at least $300 for the materials... It'll probably cost $500 for the stage after buying the tools (like a low-temp soldering iron) needed to build it. I have the idea, I can build the blueprints (to a modest degree) & I do have some people who can help me with the building (younger
o.) <

It's DDR Max for PS2. I don't remember right now how much I paid (gotta find the receipt plus, I just woke up. ) I'm going to have to move my game, tv, and pad to the basement when my friend comes up. He jumps all over the place. <b>The Ancient Forest <b>"Me, I'm dishonest and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly!

Understandable, TSTodden! This is why I rid<
