I failed the first song in about 15 seconds, and my first game of DDR was over. I stood there and watched other guys who were pretty good at it, and thought to myself that I could do that, too, if I could only practice. Back in Austin, I started searching the web, and fell right into the lap of DDR-dom - I had no idea it was such a huge subculture! Tons of otaku like me working up a sweat to dance with cartoon women! I ordered the DDR USA version, plus a RedOctane dance mat, and even bought a Playstation 2 just to try DDR at home. I started out slowly, playing the 1-3 foot songs (the difficulty of a DDR song is measured in 1-9 "feet"). I remember being so happy when I full-comboed Boom Boom Dollar! (A full combo is completing an entire song without missing a single step.) I was also thrilled when I figured out "eighth note" patterns in the steps - I was on my way to becoming a master!
