Aug 2, 2010 - 2010 DanceDanceRevolution US Championships! - The Mole
Oh lord they are at it again. I only post this because I was recently contacted by a company rep named brooke that is representing the tournament planning for konami asking if id be interested in holding a round one tournament at my location.
The 2010 DanceDanceRevolution US Championship consists of three rounds.
Round One is underway. In order to qualify for Round Two of the tournament, participants need to finished in first, second, or third place in their respective Round One Tournament.
Round Two is Regionals
The Round Three Finals take place the weekend of December 4th, 2010 at a six flags location yet to be determined.
The top four scores across all regional qualifiers in each age group are eligible to participate in the finals.
I still haven't received any rule sets or more info other then whats on the website and pdf i was sent. Hopefully konami will learn from last year but so far things look grim.
May 28, 2010 - Navy General eyes Dance Dance Revolution for boot camp. - The Mole
We understand that Wii Fit has dubious health benefits at best (whatever CTA Digital might say top the contrary), but apparently word hasn't reached the Navy's top brass. According to the Navy Times, recruits need more work than ever before to get into fighting shape, "given that many young people prefer computers and video games" to sports and physical activity. The solution, says Navy Surgeon General Vice Adm. Adam Robinson, is to use break in would-be sailers slowly, introducing "the equivalents of Nintendo's Wii Fit or Konami's Dance Dance Revolution" in basic training. This sounds rather silly to us, but what do we know? We're lovers, not fighters.
