Read Edge a while back. Had an artice bout some guys who play those danceing arcade games. They supposidly played seriously, like pros, really dancing like mad fools against each other. Thought nothing of the artice, and quicly re-read the Halo 2 info.
Went into the Bowling alley in town tonite to book a lane. And witnessed on of these crazy dancing lunatics. It was really quite disturbing.
To start, they really give it loads. Arms flapping everywhere like a duck, which i'll add isn't nessicary for the game, and legs moving as Chandler says "totally independent for there body". Normal girls bob and jump about a wee bit on them, but there guys were going nuts. The sweat was dripping off them, yes sweat. GAMES should not make you sweat. The screen flashed with PERFECT as they landed each step, and to see the speed at which there legs move was mesmorising. Think an irish dancer on Es and you've got a idea.
There was a whole crowd around them. I pitied the next person who'd foolishly get up to play it next. Everyone's eyes were on stalks at these bunch of guys tuanting each other as they danced about like co-ordinated monkeys. I expected them to get down and start break dancing, but well I guess there not THAT good. Something for them to aim for anyway.
Watched them, hypnotised. Quite disturbing to see a group of guys get up time after time, challanging each other to out dance. Sad people. Feel sorry for them that there so competive.
And also because they looked like complete idiots.
Oh well, I'll try to get some sleep tonite, but the image of sweating Justin Timberlake wannabees with legs moving at uncharted speeds I think will remain with me forever.

If your looking for an arcade game that will scar you for life if you see people playing it.... look no further than those horse racing games where you sit on the plastic horse and ride it.
The most disturbing part is when the part of the race comes where they have to sprint for the line, this is where they go nuts trying to half stand and still do all the movements like a jockey does
*shudders*
quite disturbing stuff indeed

It didn't bother me, just made my eyes stand on stalks. :)
I thought they looked a bit stupid, but they were insanly good at the game, i'll give them that.

Kinda thing that doesn't bother me.
If people want to dance they let them. Must be a good way to exercise if nothing else. Beats sitting in front of the TV 24/7

I'm one of those people.
I challenge my mates because i know they're crap, put on the hardest songs, and then get perfects.

There was this guy that worked in the Arcade and since he had to work on weekdays he just excersised by playing the dance game. He looked like you described and he didn't mess up ONCE. Well, it was pretty cool to watch though.
I think that's kinda cool actually. I can't dance. I can mosh and play air guitar, but dancing (yes, even the dance-mat variety) still eludes me. But I don't have a problem with people that can dance. Obviously your masculinity was bruised by the sight of boys dancing better than you will ever be able to you. Just go over to the dance mat and start spinning on your back - you're bound to make loads of new friends.
