Why does it seem like the average age of users at Bemani style is about 15? Not that this is really a bad thing, I just wish that they acted like they were more mature. I use to wonder why there were so many stickies at the forum. Then I realsied that it is because about 70% of the posters have no idea how to scroll down, go to a second page, or search. On top of that the new announcement of 11th Style thread (HERE) is filled with idiots it seems. Not everyone, again just 70% of them. Stuff like: “Over 320 songs! Songs from Pop’n, guitarfreaks! And a newsong by “Artist X”!! This is going to be the best version of IIDX yet!! I hope timing issues are fixed and that “Artist X” makes a new song in style X! OMG A GAME ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT LESS THAN 20 PEOPLE ON FOURM EVER HAVE A CHANCE OF PLAYING, W/O A CS RELEASE, GAVE ME THE EQUEVLANT PLEASURE OF SEX AND I ORGASAMED!@!@! OnE!” Look, there is no song list yet, there are no confirmed “transplant songs” yet, there will most likely be no new soft/hardware to fix timing issues, and none of you really masturbated because of this announcement. This reminds me of how people react to new Neo-Geo game announcements, then when the game comes out they just thrash the game. Also I do not like Goa Trance too much.

Holy shit, sometimes I really wonder why I return to some of the fourms I visit… I stoped going to SRK forums for a similar reason. If DDR kids are labled as “worse” than the IIDX community… *shudder*

SO-O, I have been reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (my third Murakami book). So far it is really good and surreal like I was hoping. His writing style is addictive in even the most mundane situations. I really would like to get A Wild Sheep Chase, but B&N never has it in ( I am one of those %10 off members) and I never remember to order it on-line so I always end up picking up something else in store.
