The embarrassing question

[Elipsis]

I really should know this as much as I've played DDR, FFR, DWI and SM...

...but I don't really hang out in these boards too much for all that... so I have to ask now.

What exactly is a jackhammer? I've probably played the pattern a hundred times, but I wouldn't recognize it or know it by the name "jackhammer."

[Arch0wl]

What do jackhammers do?

Why do they call it "jacking off"?

Apply it to one arrow and there's your answer.

[Privateer]

Artfully spoken, Arch.

Question answered. Jackhammers are my weakness.

incase you didnt understand arch.. a jackhammer is nothing more than an arrow repeated.. its basically hitting the same arow over and over and over again in a quickened pace..

[ruifio894]

what is DWI

[Snapps]

Dance With Intensity, nothing to do with jackhammers.

[ruifio894]

how do you get dwi

[lightdarkness]

how do you get dwi

You can either get really drunk, then go driving and drive by a cop.

OR....

Search google for a game called Dance With Intensity. But i must warn you, www.stepmania.com is better.

[Snapps]

Speaking of patterns that one hears about but doesn't know what they are, what is running man? I hear this pattern mentioned a lot, but I can't figure out what it is.

[ruifio894]

check your computer fxelement17, make sure nothings running during the process, it took mine 46 seconds

[alainbryden]

try getting better than 56kb/s

Oh ok. Thanx.

Speaking of those, does anybody know what the bpm would be (if it was a straight bpm) of those 3 triple taps at the end of the max 300? I actually end up dancing that with 2 feet on one arrow... it looks really wierd but that's the only way I can consistantly hit 'em.
