Dance Dance Revolution Version Played: DDR Max 2

Notes:
I forgot how crazy some of the songs on DDR Max2 are! Those 1/16th or whatever steps are hard! It seems like they use them less in the newer DDRs (or else I just avoid the songs that use them).

Otherwise a pretty normal workout. I think my “older” pad might be harder to use because it’s somewhat more “sticky.” Well, not sticky as in my feet get glued to it, but it might be time for me to give it a little cleaning. I’ll see how that goes next time…

I’ve been playing again! You’ve inspired me, hehe. That and ice cream sandwiches are bad and need to be BURNED! So I am using Work Out mode and just burning 300kcal every day. I don’t pay as much attention to the interval times (maybe they’re like 45 minutes?) but the calories.

I am not that good, though. I have barely moved up to Standard now and “Break Down” gives me such a hard time (probably 5 calories every time of frantic stepping) but at least it burns about 24kcal nonetheless. A lot of other songs on Standard are fun and manageable, though (but only 8kcal per song :

Eh? Am I too wordy or what? I think my comment was cut off. Well I just wanted to ask how you determine what songs to play, since you use Game Mode. Whether it’s by whim or just personal difficulty. And then of course, “keep it up.”

Hmm, I’ll have to look into that. I don’t think there’s a hard limit to comment size…
Regarding the workout mode, I think it’s been known to exaggerate from time to time. Like I play about 10 songs, and burn about 200 calories. That just sounds like way too much! Sometimes I can “burn” 50 calories on one song: Can’t Stop Fallin’ In Love (Speed Mix). That’s why I gauge by playing time.

About the song selection, I just kinda browse around until I find a song I like. Luckily there are lots of songs I like. I was thinking of writing a top songs for each Mix post. Maybe I’ll do that right now. Who needs the Superbowl, right?
