Well, the social and political ramifications of a white box with a red X in it have been debated by experts for centuries. These debates stretch all the way back to the Holy Roman Inquisition, when heretics were branded with this very same icon made of paint and blood. The icon symbolized an absence of God within the individual, and was identified as a universal mark of ex-communication and shame throughout the hundreds and hundreds of years that have passed since.

Since those days, however, the social significance of the mark has been blunted, instead now symbolizing the fact that an online picture or photo did not properly load. These days, a white box with a red X in it is simply an annoyance, rather than a brand of spite and shame.

Is that what you were looking for, Robo?

Yes Raziel I see where you are going here but I believe your argument is flawed. Image attached for others who share his view.

It's really all just a matter of perception. Ghandi once said that there are as many religions as there are people, that's how I like to view this situation. As painful as it is to admit, I'm going to have to agree with John.

Do the US arcade DDR pads have four different colors for their buttons? This has suddenly become a great mystery. And my orc's eyes look messed up now. HEIN!

Jessifer 2004-04-12 09:08 AM

If you look closely, you can see the arrows. They're there.

RoboticSilence 2004-04-12 10:57 AM

You can thank Chruser for that one, Jess. And Chruser, I based the pad off of the arcade pads I've seen and I'm pretty sure it had multiple colors.

I think only the third party ddr wanna be's have the multiple colors. The authentic ones have i believe 2 colors. I cant remember, havnt played in forever.

I would rather gouge my dominant eye out with a scroll-saw whose blade was scraped against concrete for 3+ hours than play DDR.

Not for all the Euros in Europe.

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION


O_o

Sovereign 2004-04-12 07:37 PM

Its fun damn it!!

Vollstrecker 2004-04-12 07:40 PM

I'm sure the chimps at the zoo enjoy flinging poo also, but I'm not about to go doing that...

Sovereign 2004-04-12 07:41 PM

try it before you diss it damn it!!!!! Humans play ddr not chimps. Flinging shit and playing a dance game is much different. I used tohate it. I tried it once, i was hooked for 1.5 mos, then i just quit.

ANywho, im off. Tata.

Neko 2004-04-12 07:55 PM

Most people who hate it hate it because they are too uncoordinated and/or out of shape to play it. That or they hate the music. Or are too macho and masculine to play it. They're afraid of getting served.

Vollstrecker 2004-04-12 07:58 PM

I hate the music, and I wouldn't be caught dead playing, irregardless of being served or not. It's a good idea for people who like that sort of thing.

There's always someone better than you, there's no real point in being worried about being the absolute best. That goes for everything...

RoboticSilence 2004-04-12 08:39 PM

Dude... if you are good at DDR, and play it publicly, peple crowd around you and you get the hot Asian babes.

Edit: This guy will get more ass than you.

Sovereign 2004-04-12 10:09 PM

Im fat, im uncoordinated, and i still love it. It shocks the fuck otu of people to see this obese man dancing like mad lol.

Sovereign 2004-04-12 10:10 PM

Althought that guy looked like he was doign it on light mode, its impressive non the less. I can do heavy, 7 feet on 2x speed. Thats my best. I havnt gotten any "hot azn chicks" but a lot of people asked me "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT" I should start up again.
