Disco Inferno
So I'm playing a little $10 headsup DDR against some 10 year old. We're playing battle mode, of course. I figure to be about a 4:1 favorite if we get any disco song circa 1985 or earlier. What do you know, I get lucky and draw "Disco Inferno". This juvenile is history! Burn baby burn!
We get into it. I've got my funky groove on. I'm hitting my combos and bonuses like a chapmp. I start freestyl'n a little- you know spins and drops. Then something goes horribly wrong. I get off of my pad a little and start missing a few steps. Then, I have a hard time syncn' back up. I take a deep breath and try to get back in it, but its too late. The punk beat me. Talk a about a "snap drag" (that's DDR terminology for getting really unlucky against an inferior opponent).
I go on to loose 8 more times in a row and completely blow my DDR bankroll.
Looks like its back to poker!
