Hope you're all having awesome summers filled with beach trips, good friends, good drinks, and good dancing!
I've been spending half my summer indulging a new addiction: Dance Dance Revolution Supernova! My buddy's family has a house on the beach where I've been spending a bunch of weekends, and his little brother just bought this game for his Playstation 2. It's insane! I mean, I've done DDR in arcades and stuff and thought it was fun, but the home version is way better. If you haven't played DDR before, you probably would recognize it anyway: it's a video game that shows you dance moves on the screen, and you try to keep up by hitting the right directional arrows on a mat (think old skool - remember the Nintendo PowerPad??).
Playing it at home is amazing... First of all, no one but my friends have to see me flail around like an idiot :) Haha. Actually, I'm not half bad if I do say so myself! It's intense, though... before he had Supernova, his brother had a Super Mario Brothers version of DDR. It didn't have "real" dance songs, more like remixes of standards like "Greensleeves" and stuff like that ;) But Supernova actually has a bunch of regular dance songs... and pop songs. Sometimes they even play the music video in the background, like for Crystal Method "Robogirl" and Cyndi Lauper "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (uhh... not that I dance to that one or anything!)
Oh yeah, and now I get to feel like I'm getting my exercise in between rum runners on the beach ;)
Anyway, here are the songs I've discovered so far in the game... I've highlighted some of the really recognizable dance tunes for ya... though there are a bunch of Asian ones I wasn't familiar with. And of course, there's probably a bunch more songs I haven't discovered yet (you have to unlock more)!
It's awesome... check it out and get dancin', peeps!
