The ONLY way to play DDR is at 30 MPH

Hey, we haven't forgotten our roots as a Music Video Game station. Talk about DDR/IIDX and all that note smashing here.

The ONLY way to play DDR is at 30 MPH

This has been a dream of mine for about a year and a half, and FINALLY my brother was able to help me construct a safety rail so that I wouldn't kill myself during this project.

We ended up using an old DDR pad that I rewired to be USB, had that plugged into my laptop running Stepmania, and ran the audio from my laptop through the truck's speakers so that we could hear it while I played. My brother said that we were going between 25 and 30 mph... if we went any faster than 30 then the wind would push my laptop closed, so it was just kinda fail like that.

should've integrated a rig like the ones they have sometimes for laptops out on display, to prevent people from walking out of the store with them :P

But yeah AAA+ would LOL again XD

Pretty awesome stuff.
Did anyone give you weird looks or something while doing that?

No, MGS4 isn't coming to the 360. Never was, never will.
If I'm mistaken, Ranma gets a free copy of it. =P

I forgot to mention I know we've at least made reference to playing DDR in like a u-haul or similar moving truck... I just never thought someone would actually go out and do it XD

:D Of course I did it! haha

I showed this to my friend and he said that he's played Supernova on the back of a flatbed during a parade... but didn't have any pix/video of it :/

@Act Deft I got a few weird looks, but I live in a small town now... so there wasn't really that many people out in the area we were in.

There's also a bloopers/behind the scenes video of this showing my amazing way of keeping the laptop on the truck and a bit more info on the setup of everything.
