Side note: I actually REALLY don't like going to Dave & Busters. It currently has the only operational #PumpItUp cab in my county, and it's surrounded by like 40,000 jackpot redemption games and bigger versions of games I have on my phone already.

If I want to play #StepManiaX, I'm not going to D&B. I'll go down to the indie operator that's a little out of the way. The same guy who's apparently such an arcade freak that they bought TWO exA-Arcadias.

Went for another trip to Round1.

* Managed to pass a 15 on #DDR and passed an old Crazy chart (a 14) on #PumpItUp with a mask on.
* Almost sight read full comboed a 13, too. Got tripped up by one part and got a few Goods.
* Passed another 12 on #IIDX I passed on Infinitas on an arcade cabinet, got a few AAs along the way too, slowly getting used to the arcade cabinet with these last few visits

All in all, a good day

I had a discussion with a friend today, where he said that #DDR had petered out in the early 2000s like #GuitarHero did in 2010. That's obviously wrong, but I realized why he thought that way.

You see, #Konami only sells cabinets to e-Amusement licensees. In the US that's exclusively Round1 and Dave & Busters. So every independent #arcade operator - i.e. the ones you're likely to just happen upon - either runs old DDR cabs, #PumpItUp, or #StepManiaX.

On the arcade machine maintenance agenda for today:

- Take apart dance pads, check connections / voltages
- While I'm in there, mod the panels to be a bit more sensitive
- Switch out the Pump it Up Fiesta Ex marquee with Pump it Up Infinite's as that's what is installed
- While I'm digging around in there investigate possible camera mount points for future "Stream Upgrade"

Happy #StPatricksDay from the streets of #Belfast. Flat Eleni says “#PumpItUp !”

ADORO IL GENIO - DAL MONDO

Wanna #dance?

#adoroilgenio #12maggio #musica #cosebelle #bambini #pumpitup

Not an amazing start but better than sitting on the couch I guess. Pleased with getting through Cutie Song s11, since this was my first score in that chart I think I bailed early last time I played it, but this time happy to keep up with the flows.

#StepP1 #StepF2 #pumpitup

glad with a couple of ☝️ in the warm-up. extraordinarily bummed to lose S in I Want U right at the tail end, I was enjoying that run so much until then 😭

#StepP1 #StepF2 #pumpitup

If I ever find a gym with a #DanceDanceRevolution or #PumpItUp machine, I'm buying a lifetime membership.

Ow ow my calves are sore. The #PumpItUp / #DanceDanceRevolution session last night was kind of intense, but so much fun.

Party on the objective! Who’s in?

Pretty interesting night last night at #DanceDanceRevolution / #PumpItUp

I got to witness a PIU co-op play! It looks pretty impressive. Two expert players, who seemed to have casually met and realise they were both expert on double (using both dance pads), decided to try it.

The way it works is one player gets blue arrows and the other player gets red arrows. The arrows criss-cross from one pad to the other so it looks kind of like a real dance for two people as they swing across the two pads.

These thoughts came to me as I was thinking yesterday about how apparently "the community" was in charge of maintaining some #PumpItUp machines in town. No way that doesn't mean that there is some dedicated individual out there doing all the work.
