Writing about web page http://www.warwickcompsoc.co.uk

Last night, Bucko's metal dance platform has officially passed the MAX300 Expert test.

This morning, I have an intense streak of muscle pain at the back of both legs >_<

…. and I'm also soaked head to toe from the raging thunder storms :(

Note to self….

As a complete DDR wacko, never play on the DDR 5th Mix machine in the blistering heat, in a pair of jeans…

Random 'thing' #3

So far this week, ever since I found out about the 5-day LAN party held by the Warwick Computing Society:

Tuesday – Went home at 12am…. slept at 1:30am
Wednesday – Went home at 1am … slept at 2:30am

… and I'm also forced to wake up 7:30am every morning >___<

Even though my efforts in finding people interested in fighting games were futile, at least I wasn't too far off finding some DDR nutters :D

Stepmania + Projection Screen + Home Metal Dance Platform = w00000t!

(Rather suprised me that bucko's platform could take the wrath of Drop Out 260 Expert and remain in one piece…)

M$ SideWinder pad meets the soldering iron

Follow-up to A soldering iron is fun from Vince's Blog of Rubbish

The design of these Sidewinder gamepads are just notorious, and worst yet, they feel so stiff. But that's not important, … for just £3 brand new off ebay, and now it's a PC interface for my arcade stick :D

(piccies of pad torture are in the 'Mini-projects' galltery)
