I’m looking for a way to stay fit over the winter. This summer I took up jogging, which was lovely in the nice weather, but I’ve let it slip in the last couple of months and given how dark and slippery it gets now I don’t think it would be a good (or safe) idea. A friend mentioned DDR as a way of keeping fit and as I’ve got some money left on an amazon gift certificate (which means it would only cost me about £12) I’m thinking about it. What do you think?
I’m SO BAD at DDR. We even had those mats and all. My foot-eye coordination is broken. LOL.
Haha! Serendipitously, my mother in law has just said that she’s going to transfer me some money, which I wasn’t expecting (I pay for a phone package that gives unlimited calls between 5 people which means that almost all phone calls she makes are free; I’ve said she doesn’t need to help me pay for it but she insists …) so I’ve just ordered it – it should be fun!
I haven’t done anything like this for YEARS (I think 7+ years) but I have pretty decent coordination so I’m looking forward to it arriving! (and am intrigued by the idea of whole-body motion using the remote and nunchuck to make you move your arms and pose …) Hopefully it will arrive before Christmas and then my sister can have a go on it too – I think she’d like that.
I like dancing games — can I come and visit?! I have an old version for PlayStation and I wish it had more tracks to dance to. You may be interested in StepMania, a free open-source dancing game with lots of downloadable music packs. You can also make your own music packs, with some effort — my excuse for not is that I’m studying…
Anyway, to use StepMania, you need a USB dance mat or USB adapter for other kinds of mat. I bought a Logic3-branded adapter from Maplin for £10 and it connects my PlayStation dance mat to my Mac!
Yes, you can come and visit! Although it might be some time before it arrives … Amazon seem to be saying that stuff ordered now may not be delivered until Christmas Eve. We’ll see. (Incidentally, C is surprised that you like dancing games – I’m not surprised, I think they seem like your sort of thing but they apparently don’t quite fit with his mental image of you …)
It’s been dispatched! Should arrive sometime next week
am looking forward to it
