11/13/2001 Archived Entry: "Withdrawal"

Recently been feeling severe withdrawal symptoms from playing Dance Dance Revolution. Even playing it on the PSOne doesn't provide a complete solution, considering that I can't always use the TV room and there are few, if any, people who have the wit to grasp a game in which you actually move in Cambridge; so I've only played it a few times this term. No, the only solution is finding an arcade machine which would allow me to play without fear of slipping on the mats.

Short of either blowing a significant portion of my student loan on an arcade machine (but - where would I put it?) or getting the train down to London (I suppose I could always do it as part of a larger trip), I had to uncover a DDR machine directly in Cambridge. Off to Google I went and a few minutes later I was amazed to find that the Anglo-Japanese Society of the University appeared to have the game! Perhaps not an arcade machine, that would be hoping for too much, but at least there were fellow DDRers who had a true appreciation of the beauty of the game.
