HAPPYYYYYYYY HOLIDAYSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! i know i'm writing this way far out into the future past the holiday season, but it's only now that i'm getting to writing about such a grand event that took place during such a chaotic season... said grand event being extremely chaotic in of itself! it is the annual, the great, the glorious...
...gamecenter Holiday Party!!! an action-packed overnight arcade event that runs from 8 PM today until 7 AM the next, and it'd be my first time attempting to pull an all-nighter to experience arcade gaming all night!! of course, i brought some snacks and made preparations before coming, like stocking up on energy drinks and making sure i slept beforehand (LIE) (I BARELY SLEPT EARLIER) (I'M SO DEAD), so that once the clock struck and the party began... i'd be Dancin' Allll Night!!! so as my sister was leaving somewhere else, i followed in her car, got to the arcade just a few minutes before start time, and slowly but surely... we were let into what would become the most night of our lives.
let's kick it off with some ONGEKI!!! been a while since i've played this because it's ALWAYS busy whenever i come to play, so it's surprising to see it open in an otherwise packed and busy arcade... yeahhhh, i horribly miscalculated just how many people would be here, and what was supposed to be Nonstop Hyper Ultra Gaming quickly turned into a night of wandering around the arcade figuring out what to play, what was open (besides beatmania), etc.... BUT!!! i got some compliments for my score on Party 4U relative to my rating which was nice!! ...though that's mostly just cuz i haven't bothered filling my New 15 or whatever...
like i said; every cab was busy and every one of the popular, common games seemed to have a line, so what you're about to see is the most random and confusing selection of scores from games that were the only ones open at the time... that's not to say they were bad scores though!!! in fact, some of the DJMAX TECHNIKA clears are really good!!! (some random games indeed though... bet you haven't seen CHRONO CIRCLE on this account in some time, huh? well, that's just because i haven't played it and the game went offline but... y'know...)
oh also they had Tetote x Connect on the card maker and it was unbelievably hilarious to play LMFAO, i should def try the real thing again though... again, too cramped to do any dances XwX
now for something a little more familiar: maimai!!! i had placed myself into the card queue due to the sheer volume of players here, and managed to pop in every so often when it was my turn, which led to some very random and funky scores including... an SS on ENERGY SYNERGY MATRIX [MASTER Lv13], beating my good friend Ron on Sirius no Kagayaki no you ni [Re:MASTER Lv14] AND on Tsunagite [Re:MASTER Lv15] with an 85% somehow (lol) before wandering back off after my set ended...
...to play some DDR X2!!!!!!! ironically i've been avoiding this game for fear that it was Too intensive and that i'd pass out asleep early if i tried playing it, buuuut i already played maimai, so what's another dance game in the mix? feeling bored of singles and craving a bit more spice though (perhaps also due to the Monster Energy affecting my thinking, i decided to play every song here on DOUBLES!!! this led to a most chaotic and tiring session indeed, but one that resulted in a lot of very solid Double 17 clears like New Decade [EDP-17], roppongi EVOLVED ver.D [EDP-16, though rated a 15 here], POSSESSION [EDP-17], DeltaMAX [EDP-17], aaaaand Anti-Matter [EDP-17] too!!! though as you can tell from the calorie counts... this was Tiring as Hell!!!! needed to take a break and recharge with electrolytes after this whole session, and it was already 2 AM!!!! or only 2 AM? dunno how to word it...
once i recharged and played in a little Umamusume showdown though, it was back to the grind -- starting with maimai, where a lot of the queue people had left and it was all just goofs, which led to these two funny scores from the shared play feature and also a few of my own in a following set (though with less favorable results due to my tiredness)
aaaaand that's unfortunately where this post will end off as i've already run out of image space . but don't fret!!! there may still be a lot more rhythm game scores to get through, but trust me they are all Very good and awesome and cool and you will love them... whenever i get around to making it, that is (this post alone took a good while, though less than i expected, so maybe soon...? just not tomorrow or maybe even the day after LOL) . 'til then, though!
