[DJKR87]

If you beat Dracula with the Dance Mat, I really call you God!

What's wrong with your feet? They look like they haven't eaten in ages

[reverendmeta]

Very rad!

[brunolp18]

In another words: How to gay a great classic game up

[AMD2600]

I tried this with SMB. It's actually quite fun (well with a friend, mainly so you can laugh at each other panic)

[IronyIsGood]

Like*

[majiktoaster]

really like how you talk XD

[DJ17Nario]

@majiktoaster Which personality/character? Some of them are real and some of them aren't. :)

[TKnightcrawler]

I remember back around 2000, some friends were playing Marvel vs. Capcom on the PSX and someone with a controller left, so I broke out the dance pad and started playing like that. I lost, but it was still fun.

[ZeldaDD]

Nice, I give you props for even trying something insane like this. ;)

[DJ17Nario]

@ZeldaDD Thanks!! :D Have you seen the other episodes in the series yet?

[ZeldaDD]

@DJ17Nario Heh, didn't realize it was a series, so no. I'll have to check them out.

[DJ17Nario]

@ZeldaDD At 5:10 in this video, there's an annotation note that says "The second level is now up!!!"

Also, if you saw this video on Destructoid's article, you'll see that they mentioned that I had already made it to Level 5, which means I also had other videos up. Officially, though, I've already made it to Dracula but have lost 53 lives to him so far. :( I'm still trying to beat him, though!

[ZeldaDD]

@DJ17Nario I apparently didn't quite watch all of it. I was doing a few things at once, so I must have been distracted. :P

[shinrenx]

3/5 for meh

now try battletoads

[shinrenx]

(Got a reply from you, 'guess you removed it)

3/5 isn't bad, and if you actually recorded JUST the game, or your feet simultaneously with commentary added, THAT would be an easy 5/5. That would require actual work and not just "let's fart something up and put it on youtube"

[DJ17Nario]

@shinrenx Oh believe me, I agree with you. I totally took that into account, and starting from Video 3 and onward, they're ALL split-screen, so you can see both the screen AND my feet at the same time.

You would know this if you continued the series. :P

[shinrenx]

@DJ17Nario Fair enough, I will ;)

[zecmo]

nice work

[Tensukemaru]

Nice, much cooler than that guy who played Soul Calibur with a fishing controller.

[do0rkn0b]

i feel bad for you, since you bought a ddr game, but at least you made good use of it.

[MissCatlady33]

That was great. Really. XD Definitely have some stepping skills there. Just a reminder to me I need to break out my pad and play Stepmania again.

Any advice for stepping noobs? :x

[DJ17Nario]

@MissCatlady33 In regards to actually dancing on a dance pad, I would recommend not returning your feet to the center of the pad after stepping on an arrow. For example, let's assume that a single line of arrows came up: Up, Left, then Right. First, step on the Up with your right foot, keep it there, then step on the Left with your left foot, keep it there, then move your right foot to step on the Right. This should feel much more comfortable than using one foot for all three steps.

[DJ17Nario]

@MissCatlady33 Also, have you had a chance to watch the second episode of this series yet? There should be an annotation link at the end of this video--right after beating the Bat Boss--and it'll take you to the second video in the series. In said video, I play the second level, and of course, with the dance pad again! :D

[AppleHankypants]

It's clear to us as an audience that this man had 40+ hours of sex before and after this.

[plaidfalcon]

Nice work Nario!

[Klatrymadon]

Utterly splendid. I love you, Nario.
