<div class="IPBDescription">I've Had A Fun Fun Evening! :D</div> I've just had a great evening on my friends daughters dance-mat (AFTER I'd won a Poker tournament!) and am considering buying one for my X-Box but i'm not sure if this type of purchase affects my "manliness."

THAT's what I ddr on :3
DDR is like drinking - In the company of others, and especially in a party atmosphere, it is fine. If you do it alone however you need help.
So arcades are like the bars of the geek world? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Alot of people I know have it and like it, and if nothing else.....It sure beats a tread mill.

You get a minus D5 X 1 saving throw to manliness.
You get a plus D10 X 1 throw for awesome parties.
You also get a minus D12 X 3 throw for actually buying one.
You recieve a bonus to defense of plus D20 X 2, when someone insults your manliness.
So.. in theory
Assuming max throws are used.
(10) - (5) - (36) + (40) = +(10) possible increase to manliness stat vs insults to said manliness. (Don't forget the automatica plus D4 X 1 to party throwing bonus)
I'd say its a good investment.

I'm coming over to your house, okay?
I bought a dance mat once. It was a cheap piece of garbage that constantly registered ghost (Oh lord, I accidentally typed goat) steps.
If you want to DDR, I'd highly recommend checking out <a href='http://www.stepmania.com' target='_blank'>StepMania</a>. You can practice with your fingers on the keyboard if you like, but you can also buy a USB adapter for Playstation/XBox controllers and plug a dance mat in to the computer for use in SM.

I may not like DDR, but arcades are a great way to meet gamer-minded members of whichever sex you prefer. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hey, a female is a female. I learn not to be picky. As long as they are in my age range, and I'm all good. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh and what cyn was kinda getting at is that there's something kinda cool about a guy who's willing to DDR, all the better if they're good at it :D
Heh, I don't see why everyone thinks that DDR is a girly thing. It's quite an endurance trial, and it's bloody fun. Besides, who doesn't like to have fun while making themselves look like a fool?
'Course, people tend to consider dancing to be a girly thing. But the only things that remotely even suggest dance about DDR are the name and the fact that you can freestyle.
In arcades, I prefer to play games like Guitar Freaks and Percussion Freaks, though. Too many DDR platforms are greasy and don't function very well. :/
its well known that age is inversly proportional to coolness when it comes to dance machines...
I say this as a past addict.. there just comes a point when the fun is outweighed by the disgusted looks of passers by, trying to sheild their childrens eyes from the visual abomination of a grown man jumping about to Jpop
but since were talking about home use, youll at least get to choose who thinks less of your 'street creds'....

Ok, so i'm on the look-out for a dance-mat and game for my X-Box now because they seem to be more than acceptable in modern society. Thanks for the interest (and slightly confusing -Cyndane) replies.
For those of you that like their dancing games, I reccomend Bust-A-Groove for the PSX. I'm browsing eBay and Amazon for it later but it'll probbaly have a silly price tag.
/me runs off to try Step-Mania

...........................................
why?
Most people thing it's dorky to play DDR until they've played it. I got my friend to play it with me 1 time and he was hooked.
I think they game i've got is for Playstation and it's DDR Konamix. I like it cause it's got a great variety of good songs.
lol. Funny mental image.
You know once me and about 6 friends piled into a fan with small tv and 2 dance pads and went around to random filled parking lots and danced away with the sound at max

In addition, I did give all those who are non-D - D players the conclusion.

I don't see how everyone analyzed the whole dice throws and then missed the conclusion... you have confuzzled even me.
