The Truth Hurts! (Rotation 5)

1) I would have to say CHAOS and Pluto , It's been a LONG time since I've passed anything above a 15 X-scale and the like.
2) Depends, I would love to see a 20 scale song that is past the "benchmark" DDR song limit of around 1:50/2:00 minute mark (A long version song pretty much). In fact, we are more than likely going to see one in the next version since there won't be newer versions of DDR past the 2013 version.
3) 5'6 or 5'7.
4) Action/Adventure and Open-World. Games like Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, The Walking Dead Game (T^T), Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, Just Cause, and others.
5) X-scale's really grown on me, I can't look back at old scale now unless I'm playing a CS/AC game that still has the old scale. ITG scale I am still not knowledgeable of so meh :/

EX1) Maxx Unlimited. It's still my e-mail address to this very day
EX2) Country. To me it's not just a horrible genre, but it's also a sad one, so much that it's actually the main cause of suicide for most people who listen to that genre of music believe it or not. And you thought DEATH metal was #1 (It's actually not even close to Country music).

---

Haha, I knew that one was coming up.

It's just that I'm not really bound to any genre, I just look at the games individually.

---

Silverhawke: Since you have access to the latest versions of DDR and IIDX, what is your biggest criticism of both of them at the moment?

Spirit of Nightmare: How are you doing? I remember a few years ago you experienced a tragedy and were grieving.

Nightime: What's your profession?

xXMokou98Xx: Who is hotter, Jon or Arin?

Max: Who is hotter, Jon or Arin?

This hunk of man right here:

So you still remember? Well, it certainly has been some time after my father's demise (almost three years now). Fortunately I have managed to go through it somewhat, with some help on the way (mostly, albeit unexpectedly, thanks to a new hobby; cosplaying).

Unfortunately I've gone through some other demanding things as well (one being a crime I witnessed, as I knew both the victims and culprit, long story short), but I'm still fighting fit.

---

It's a double-edged sword. It's good because she isn't afraid to be open with people, so she can keep conversations going for a while and still make them interesting. It's also nice to know that she won't hide anything from people if something is bothering her. On the other hand, it can be bad since she doesn't know when to stop talking. She could go on for hours if she really felt like it, but every once in a while I have to step in and calm her down lol.

In short, I guess I would rather her be open all the time than not.


I'd rather we died together; If one of us lives and the other doesn't, it's kind of sad to think that one of us would have to live on without the other.


1) I'll go with a wild-card that no one picks, ToyCube Pf (RX Ver.S.P.L). I'm a sucker for anything with piano and a smooth melody, and this one just sounds brilliant to me. Even if I do suck at IIDX, I can at least enjoy the music, and i'm glad this is one of them.
2) If we don't count roommates, none :/.
3) Both, I can't choose just one.
4) I don't have my driver's license, but I know from practicing that I could.
5) Penne a la Vodka (Max took my original answer XD)

MK1) No :P
MK2) The NY Jets, as much as they lose :D
MK3) I've always wanted to, so yes I would.


1) Either POSSESSION :(challenge) or Mei (challenge). POSSESSION might have been harder since I don't handle fast jumps well, but Mei was a bit more technical because of the streams and awkward afronova walk towards the end. On an ITG cab, if we count custom user sims, I managed to clear Vault (hard), though the score was pretty ugly, something like 78%.
2) I guess if the scale goes to 20, there might as well be one. I'm hesitant to even know what it will look like though lol.
3) I'm about 6'-6'1"
4) I enjoy platformers and puzzle games besides rhythm games.
5) I'm preferable towards the X-scale, provided everything is rater correctly.

BONUS:When I was first getting into Touhou, I used to like reading about the different characters, and Mokou always stood out to me as someone that just seemed a bit more interesting than everyone else. after a while I just started using her in my usernames. The 98 is just a random number I thought of.


I can't choose only one of the Grumps silly, they're both kinda hot in their own way.

---

Questions for all:

1.) How did you come up with your username? (cliché, I know...)
2.) What is the worst movie you've seen?
3.) What BEMANI song would you choose to be your personal theme song? You can choose 1 song from each BEMANI title if you'd like.
4.) How many languages are you fluent in?
5.) If you could spend a full week with video game characters (one for each day), who would they be?

1) Back when DDRMAX US CS was first released, I was not prepared for what was DDR's first official "red" song which was MAX 300. I was like, "HOLY DAMN WTF IS THIS SPEED I CAN'T" but over time I was able to pass it on and I was like . Before my initial screename, I had a screename for my middle school's team followed by this one number that's been following my family for years (That number is 114), so it was something like "tg114" or "ts114". So when it came after I passed MAX 300 and learned about MAXX UNLIMITED through the internet, I decided to go with "maxninja" because I liked the MAX series and ninjas, so I combined the two.

A few years ago, al2k4 had a simple system for you to change your username if you didn't like it or whatever, so I kept changing mine as well as a few members, it was first "maxninja114", then it was "maxninja09" to commemorate my year of graduation, and then I just wanted it to be Max, by this time, al was fed up with the constant name changes from not just myself but from many members, so he threw away the option for anyone to change their usernames for that time (not sure if you can still do that now, but back then you would get his asian pimp slap if you mentioned the notion of changing your username #truestory).

So it became Max. And thus, it was to this very day and beyonce.

2) I typically watch movies and I don't think bad about them, but if I had to pick one, I would say Insidious (2010). That movie had only one part that made me jump, but soon after that the whole movie dove into a laughing stock of a film. It just got ridiculous and it tried to copy a lot from Poltergeist and other films of that sort. I can't believe they are making a 2nd one coming out next year -____-.

3) DDR = Revolutionary Addict / TAG
IIDX = S!CK / EAGLE
jubeat = Far East Nightbird / fbhvyfbvsMaster

4) English and Spanish. I want to learn Japanese because all the cool kids are doing it.

5) Ezio Auditore, Nathan Drake, Chell (Even though she's pretty mute :v), Mario, Lee Everett and Clementine. Oh no here come the tears (T^T)

---

1. On The Break - Darwin. It reminds me of one time when I drank 3 energy drinks in one day.
2. Nobody. I am forever alone.
3. Dogs are so much more interesting.
4. Eh, do kick scooters and bicycles count?
5. Tom Yum Ramen noodles.


1. Some person on YouTube was roleplaying with me. All of her roleplay names had to do something with ice or cold stuff, so I named myself Freezepond.
2. Ponyo. Why does everyone like that animated pile of sh!t? The characters are ugly, the story line makes no sense, and to make it even worse, everybody likes it! Have you ever found it annoying when something is dumb but people like it?
3. Possesion.
4. English.
5. Alyx Vance, the Shop Wizard, Emi, the DDR Announcer, Crab Synth, Sheldon the black market dealer, Latios.

---

Uuuuhhhhh Freezepond? The questions were technically reserved for the 5 users on the first post. That's how this game works.

But eh, good to know.

---

Um.... you never signed up, so why are you answering questions?

---

1) Braeden asked a similar question, but it doesn't hurt to answer again :)
When I was first getting into Touhou, I used to like reading about the different characters, and Mokou always stood out to me as someone that just seemed a bit more interesting than everyone else. after a while I just started using her in my usernames. The 98 is just a random number I thought of.
2) Cat in the Hat with Mike Meyers was pretty bad.
3) Love is the Power :D
4) Only English. I know a little Spanish, German and Japanese, but nothing that would make me fluent in them.
5) Probably Mokou (what a surprise), just to see what life is like in Gensokyo.

---

Sometimes I have nothing better to do.

---

---

Oh man you have no idea how much fun I'm gonna have with this quote from now on.

---

1) So far none, nothing seems wrong except for IIDX that LEGEND CROSS was an extreme grind-fest. DDR, nothing cuz nothing came up recently (but we are expecting that tsugidoka event) and they are pretty kind to unlock some stuff on offline machines.


1) A fanfic about Pokemon. This is the last name of one of the main characters, I liked the way it sounded so it's stuck ever since.
2) Some Indonesian cliche horror flick. It tries way too hard to be scary that it's funny.
3) IIDX = BALLAD THE FEATHERS, pop'n = Quick Master, DDR = Poseidon, RB = Hollywood Galaxy
4) 2, I suppose.
5) Hahahaha this is a toughie, but I gotta say critters from Pokemon lol

Got some catching up to do. Starting with Page 1 here:

My username started off as a nickname in H.S./early college, back when V.R. Troopers was mildly popular, as it was the only one of Grimlord's minions smart enough to turn the tables on him. I do believe this is the way his name was actually spelt.

Other nicknames turned usernames include baconman (see me on OKCupid or TIGSource, there), TonyTheTGR (mishmash between the obvious Kellogg's character and TGR = Think and Grow Rich, my favorite philosophy book), and D34D M34T (started off as DEAD MEAT, but this became a much cooler and less taken screenname, and works great for arcade high scores now!).

So that's basically two down...

xRGTMx:

1. Presently, I'd have to say it's 888, because it's fast paced, intense, and sophisticated, but not "just noise". Other favorites include Unreal, Trim, UNBELIEVABLE (Sparky Remix), HELL SCAPER, IMPLANTATION, Right On Time, SABER WING, and PARANOiA -Respect-. They all have their own catchy charms about them.

2. So far, none. It's pretty astounding, since BakersfieldDDR was at one time around 150 members, and now it looks like I'm just about the only one left.

3. Fried or grilled? slurp I like both rather equally.

4. Yes I do. I have an '84 Fiero SE that was awesomely maintained, until one accident in early September. I've also driven an 18-wheeler before, and a stand-on forklift.

5. Eww. No likey. Food is my Achilles Heel.

NT1. Yes. I've had about 8 girlfriends, fallen hard for 3, and 28 sex partners (which don't always coincide). I remember them all. Also, I've never had sex in a bed. Currently working out of a dry spell, though. Dating gets a lot rougher when you aren't a bar/club hopper and you aren't in school anymore.

NT2. Nope. But I do get most of my dairy in the form of chocolate/ice cream.

NT3. Californication, without a doubt. Other honorable mentions include The Mentalist, Firefly, The 4400, Scrubs, and Big Bang Theory.

Braeden47:

1. I no-bar passed Pluto The First , Pluto Relinquish , and New Decade , take your pick. I could say POSSESSION too, but I think ND is harder on Single. DEAD END (GRS) and Valkyrie Dimension still kill me, but I get about 70-80% of the way through those, at least.
2. I'm in no big hurry. Personally, I think 19s are already borderline unhealthy to try and pass, maybe once they get 18s more consistently to the quality of 888 or MEI, and less to the quality of WTF and DEGRS, then yes. Personally, I think it needs more 16s.
3. 5' 8" (or about 170 cm)
4. Fighting, then classic platform/adventure.
5. I took a day and rerated everything to my own 1-15 scale; but between the three options there? X-scale all the way.

b1. Depends on your perspective. You mean past 10 at night, or past 10 in the morning? lol (I'm a night owl in the summer, afternooner in the winter. Pacific Time, ftr.)
b2. KonamiGoogle.

Page 2 coming up...

-Viper-

I've been into game design/recreation since before I was a Kindergartner. As a class of '99 graduate, I didn't exactly have a "game design" major to jump into, so I combined Computer/Network Science with Animation, since video games are basically the two put together. I minored in Managerial Accounting/Bookkeeping, which hasn't really panned out either, and I ended up serving much of my 20s in Retail Hell instead. Now, I'm just "professionally qwesome." #notatypo

NEMESetup:

1. See above, at the top.
2. STAY ALIVE. The only thing scary about a movie is how something that horrendous gets box-office reception at all. A close alternative would be The King of Fighters: The Movie. It's just laughably wrong in every sense.
3. Torn between Unreal, and UNBELIEVABLE (Sparky Remix).
4. I'm fluent in two if you count software as one of them. I can do basics of Spanish, French, Japanese, ASL, and C++/XNA/.NET.
5. Either the cast of Catherine, or The King of Fighters. They just have a great cohesiveness about them, a sort of competitive comraderie that I like. But they probably all suck at DDR... ;_;

---

1. Well, long story short, I just started with "Nightmare", and then added "Spirit of" (longer story can be found earlier in this thread). Good thing I did, so I wouldn't be mistaken for Nightime or vice versa.

2. Simple Simon, or "I rymden finns inga känslor" as it is known in Sweden... basically, it makes fun of people with aspies to an extent that I just stormed out in anger because of the offending scenes.

3. Hmmm... either Across the Nightmare or Konoko no nanatsu no oiwaini.

4. Swedish (mother tongue) and English. (Used to be fluent in German, but I'm losing it somewhat...)

5. Tough choice here... Perhaps some of the characters from the Tekken series.

____________________

Guess it's my askey time, too.


1. What was the first DDR song you ever played? How does it rate on your favorites list now?
2. What is your favorite candy?
3. Top or bottom?
4. Have you played the Touhou Pad Pack(s)? If so, what do you think of them? Any favorite tracks?
5. What's your favorite food group?
6. Which subforums do you frequent? (Mine is DDR, Simfile Discussion, Debates, and now these things...)

X-Silverhawke: What color does your ass turn when it's kicked? lol (blame SM MaxX)

X-SoN: Have you played Terraria before? If so, what do you think of it? (BTW, Tekken Tag 2 is on my wishlist, too!)

X-Max: When did ninjas go out of style? You get real-life busy lately, it's been forever since you've posted (or is it just me?)...

X-Makou: Which Touhouster do you find the most annoying? Is that "98" because you secretly like Cirno, too?

---

1. I suppose it might have been... Magic Alec Presents Resonance from DS Euromix. Now I don't really pay attention to that song any longer...
2. Chocolate, either standard or white.
3. Uhhhh...
4. Nope
5. Presumably all kinds of meat.
6. I don't really frequent just the subforums, more like just some threads, but it would mostly be DDR and Forum games.

X-SoN: I haven't played Terraria, barely even knew of it.
