It was an amazing time at the Nokia Theater today, May 19, 2008 as people from all over the DDR community came together to help set a now officially NEW WORLD RECORD in persons playing Dance Dance Revolution simultaneously. Thanks to all of you that participated. I apologize to those of you I didn't get a chance to say hi to, but knowing the DDR community came out for such an event was amazing. Thanks again!

Thanks, Gerard, for the kudos to the old-school/new-school DDR players out there. My wife & I had a Fantastic time out there at the Nokia theater, despite the hot weather outside. Now That Was Surely Such A TOTAL TRIP! Please Reply, Over! Thanks!...

You guys better have photos + video...I sent an application to Guiness for a DDR world record attempt just two weeks ago and they just got back to me- if you don't have video and photographic evidence then your record attempt won't have a shot in hell of getting approved.

what the hell are you talking about?

they flew a guy straight out from guiness hq just for the event. FOX had the whole thing on lock, did you think they'd do a stunt like this to promote their show without any media coverage?

either way,

There wasn't really any need for that, but okay...

I'm talking about what it specifically says in the "Agreement Regarding Record Attempts" document that they sent me, that's what. I'd post the document here but it has my confidential claim ID on it >.<

just to answer, if someone who stands next to you watching you play PSMO but you get a D on it, versus somebody who understands perfect attacking and stuff, will think you suck. A player is considered good in my opinion when a player of a higher level comments about you or see's you triple A a song. Or if somebody looks up to you. Hope it clarifies.

Yeah, Fox is the one that setup the entire thing. We got it confirmed from the Guinness Official Himself. It's verified. What record were you trying to break if I may ask?

*Whoops* Idk if I made this clear- the record attempt hasn't actually happened yet, I sent the application to Guiness and they got back to me two weeks ago- if they approve the attempt after I send my "Agreement Regarding Record Attempts" back, it'll end up taking place sometime this summer if you wanna come down and cheer me on E4.gif
