SafeTdance-dance

    This was taken a few months ago by “Mad Matt,” an expert player of this game who operates mostly out of the remains of Universal Mall in Madison Heights. I finally tracked him down and got a copy yesterday.

    I must say that my performance seemed much cooler in first-person perspective; third-person, not so much.

    In case you are wondering, here’s the data on what you are watching:

  • Song: Psalm Pilot
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Style: Doubles (using both sides of the pad)
  • Mods (changes to how the arrows appear on the screen):
    • 2.5X (speed the arrows move)
    • Boomerang (arrows go down before going up)
    • Beat (arrows shake in time with the music)
    • Space (the arrows scroll like the intro to Star Wars)
    • Wave (arrows slow down slightly and then speed up right before they get to the top

I must say, the polka has certainly changed since I was a child.

You can dress real neat from no-hat to your feet
and surprise ‘em with a victory cry. Say, you can act if ya want to, if you don’t no-body will; and you can act real rude and totally removed, and sho’ can act like an imbecile.

Ahhh, the SafeT Dance. Very clever there, Veach. :-)

Not so safe as you might imagine, and with my bald pate I probably should have a hat, unlike the men associated with the quoted ditty.

All I remember of the Safety Dance is the inexplicable presence of a maypole in the music video.

Maypole dancing is never safe, due to the risk of strangulation.

Dude… you do realise these games have hand/arm movements too?! I don’t want to rain on your A+ awesomeness but without the arm movements the whole thing looks, well, like you’re a balding white man in the middle of a cockroach infestation…

Hmmmm… is that too harsh??!?!!?

Savannah: Hence the name of the post–SafeTDanceDance

Rich: When I’m doing a difficult stepchart (which for me this was) then I’m doing about all I can to get my feet where they go. If I’m doing an easy chart I have the luxury of waving my arms around like an idiot. But skill at this game is not really skill at dancing and the result is laughable in any case!
