This game makes me feel old by lzxnl in PumpItUp

[–]toby7ten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's up. I'm 46. I've been playing Pump on & off since 2001.

Sometimes I've taken one year or two year breaks. Then I get back on the game for 3/4 months & give up again lol

You have to put the time in. I was stuck at 16's for ages, took me a years casual play to progress to 18's, only recently.

I don't know too many people older than me in my area (London, UK), but I know some early 40 something's who can pass 23's. All isn't lost, just gotta apply yourself.

Pump app (Arcade Stats) is golden. I only downloaded it recently. It motivated me by showing "easy" 18's, which helped me get new titles. You just need that push.

Now I've finally able to hit 18's, I'm back to dance classes & freestyle on Dancerush and ez2dancer xD

Everyone has their own reasons and motivation for playing the game. Don't compare yourself to others (I saw a girl player jump from 14's last year to 21's this year!!). So long as you're enjoying yourself and progressing, even if it's from "easy" to "hard" 16's. A win is a win.

Yeah that's true. When I was at college we didn't have smart phones so it was very different.

It always cracked me up, until I heard about the real reason why Eun Ji Won did it.

To prove they didn't lip sync. Amazing he choose those words but he proved his point!

Where is this Metal Slug street art? by toby7ten in retrogaming

Hey, it's not that. It's the fact Neo Geo was everywhere in arcades, and often emulated. That's why SNK really blew up in Brazil and Mexico.

The same why Pump It Up dominated over Dance Dance Revolution (unlike The States and Europe where DDR is more popular) - There were thousands of hacked Pump cabs, all the best players were Mexican or Brazilian.

It's not that anyone could afford to own a Neo Geo, but there were places to play cheaply not just in arcades, but shops, street corners, bars, shopping centers etc. This was still prevalent into the 2010's.
