Tuesday 6/8 DDR -I

DDR- 1 Hour

It's been rainy all week here in Geneva. There are pros and cons to this...
Cons:

• getting soaked on the way to the bus stop and back
• the flats I wore to work still being wet the next day
• can't see the usual spectacular view Mont Blanc off in the distance because of all the clouds/fog
• can't go running

Pros:

• my mom taking pity on me and my dad and driving us to work
• there was drought for months before this, so the plants are happy
• it's not as hot as it was before
• an excuse to play Dance Dance Revolution as my workout instead of going running!

I've already expressed my love for Dance Dance Revolution in a post last week, but let me reiterate: it's the best game ever. Today my brother wasn't playing with me (he chose to watch youtube videos instead. bad decision, I'd say), so I was playing in one player mode. This means I got to place the "Dance Master Mode!"

Dance Master Mode is where you play through challenge songs to unlock other songs. Each song has a different goal or obstacle, such as:
-beat the song but don't press any of the "down" arrows
-get a perfect streak of more than 100 steps without messing up
-the arrows disappear slightly before they hit the top of the screen, so you have to memorize them for a second
-the arrows are moving backwards
-double speed

Each of the little black boxes in the picture represents a song- they're blank now except for one, but when you beat a song the box lights up and draws lines to more boxes, which are new songs to unlock. I like playing this mode because it's a challenge and it even further distracts me from the fact that I'm exercising- I'm so focused on trying to get a 300 combo on Dynamite Rave.
