Introduction Thread

Thank you all for welcoming me to the community. I hope you guys will enjoy the site as well.

Now if you excuse me, I got some music to keyboard through. (I haven't got the Dance Pad yet.)

Cool another Texas member. Welcome to Zenius.

Hi I'm Roberto. A few of you may or may not know me. I play Pump and I have my own machine.

My youtube is www.youtube.com/mrclickman

A little background:

I live in the Monterey County in California. I've been playing dancing games since 2005, and I play nothing but dancing games. I do play the occasional Para Para and Dance Maniax, but I don't go out of my way to play those games. I mainly play Pump almost every day, ITG about once or twice a week, and I haven't touched DDR in almost a year.

All I can say is, I wish I started playing sooner. Everyone around here pretty much "retired" by the time I got into it, so I was never really playing with groups of friends. Pretty much up until now, I've been using dancing games as training rather than a social tool to get to know and meet other players in the area.

I used to be obese when I was a child (160 lbs when I was 9 years old), and struggled with weight until about Summer 2009, where I managed to stay on a consistent workout schedule with dancing games and interval training.

I love American Football, my favorite team is the Indianapolis Colts. I used to play football in high school (I played with current Tampa Bay Bucs LB Mason Foster on our high school team, among a lot of other DI and DII college level athletes) and I wanted to get better. I wanted to train heavily in the offseason to get better at the game, and then I saw DDR for sale and I got it to "train". Needless to say, I started to play dancing games and I never went back.

Any more questions just ask I guess.

Hello, I'm Raian. I came aboard after finding a giant collage of Stepmania songs, and decided to register since I noticed a few of my friends were already registered.

Loving the place so far.

Hello. I am FoRCeDNaTuRe (but feel free to call me force or FN). I was lurking aroung this site for about 2 weeks, which is normal considering how shy I am, and then decided to enter the chat. I quickly learned who people are and they gave me various tips ánd warm welcomes. I even joined a Stepmania collab project because I was invited by DDR Addict.

I usually enjoy all dancegames, but I prefer ITG over any other because I grew with it. I am about to buy an DDR (Hottest Party 5), but that's probably out to the far because I am considerably low on cash and it costs 30 euros over here, but I was told that 30 euros is pretty cheap for the game.

Oh yeah, I live in Germany, so please excuse me for any wrong grammar/vocabulary. Thanks. We at Germany got almost no arcades over here, so it is hard to enjoy the real feel on a arcade pad (I was lucky to play on one once!), and a hardpad is financially impossible for me. So I have to stay with my softpad and pass those little 9's and 10's.

So, that's actually it for me.

Welcome to ZIv, hope to see you in the chat

Hi everyone, my name is Adrian. I've been checking this forum for a few weeks, but finally I decided to create my account!

I love playing videogames, and of course DDR (I have my own dance pads because in Mexico is difficult to find a DDR cabinet). Because of DDR, I could discover beatmania IIDX and other bemani games, and although I have no chance in playing those games now, I enjoy their music.

And that's just a bit about me. Greetings from Mexico!

Welcome to ZIv Ventus, Hope you enjoy your stay

Hello everyone! After lurking in the Jubeat and Reflec-Beat sections of the site for a good few weeks, I felt it was about high time I registered to become part of this community!

I'm 19 and from Birmingham in the UK. I currently study Games and Software Development at college in hope that I can one day get employed in the Video Games industry. It would be a dream come true.
I am pretty new to rhythm games however, my first ever rhythm game being 'Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd'. Since then, my love for this genre has flourished and I now play games such as Jubeat on iOS (Pretty difficult with an iPhone!) as well as DanceDanceRevolution on the PS2 pretty frequently.
From tomorrow, I will also be getting an iPad in hope that I can discover even more great rhythm games!

I look forward to speaking with you all.

Greetings SynZidane, Welcome to ZIv
