That's about it. The Putt-Putts suck. I have NO clue why people keep going back to them.

main event in cityview has beatmania III append 7th mix, which is nice.

cyberzone in ridgmar mall has the same machine but with a footpedal and also a dancefreaks.

I've never been, but a few people I know always say they have good stuff.

What makes them suck?

Putt-Putt Arlington has DDR EX, ITG 2 (both of which have extremely shitty pads), and Dance Freaks, which is the Korean version of Dance Maniax. Hurst has a DDR EX, and ITG 2. I know ITG's pads are horrible, but I'm not sure about DDR. I haven't been since sometime last year. The people that go to Arlington are all gothic, annoying, and make me hate playing there.

The Anime Store and Ridgemar are better alternatives, though I hear Ridgemar's arcade is full of idiots, too. They both have a much, much better game selection.

Also, I heard from CK that there were gypsies that came to the arcade (or at least the old one) and pickpocketed quite a number of people; and no one did anything about it.

EDIT: if any of you like PIU, there is a PIU zero machine with very good pads at the D&B on Stemmons. Most of the D&Bs right now have that policy that they wont let anyone under 21 in; this particular one doesnt seem to have that because I went right in alone and the guards didnt seem to mind.
EDIT2: Also, I hear from a local source in Plano that the the PIU machine (PIU Exceed 1) actually has pretty decent pads. I retracted this earlier because I remember hearing something completely different. Also the sound is pretty low

Any PtPt arcade or arcade attached to a mall is going to have shitheads in it. D:

[Ledline]

Bump!

I've been contemplating about the possiblity of a PNM CS tournament at the anime store, would any of you guys be interested in that?

EDIT: I've discussed this with Reii and he thinks this sounds good

[Lefty]

I'm down. What mix would we be playing on?

I probably wouldn't win, but I'd still play.

[Ledline]

Im thinkng between 11 or 12, what would you guys prefer?

edit: I forgot to mention that the tournament would be opposite seeding-single elimination, each round will consist of a selection of 4 songs. However, each person can choose one song that they DO NOT want to play and the winner is decided by score, regardless if they failed the song or not. The entry fee will most likely be $5, Reii and I are still thinking about what to give for prizes (as an addition to entry fee, if he agrees that is)

ill do it just so i can play on a real popn controller instead of the mini one i have
