Re: StepMania Fun Facts

1) more than half of my files were never intended to be released but people still play them somehow
2) the gigaswede werbad was bathing for 50 years before he made snadstorm

that's why it's so good

rumors say he went back to bathing again shortly after releasing the file

Re: StepMania Fun Facts

Okay more stuff I remembered:

- There was gonna be a second expansion pack to mgd3, but was cancelled cause everyone involved got nothing done.
- I was told I won 50$ for stepping EternuS for the Stepmix 3, but the site admin apparently didn't see that my Hyrdocity file won instead.
- I got banned from the MGD forums for admitting I never played Super Metroid.
- IVKAS simfiles were supposed to be reminicent of early Beatmania files, where notes denoted certain sounds.
- Diverse System had simfiles and BMS's of some of their songs for D15, but are inaccessible since Konami's Cease & Desist.
- There was a "Stepmania CD" avaliable on the official site. It came with the latest build at the time as well as all Stepmix and Plaguemix simfiles.
- The steps in Utopia Challenge don't go to anything; Chris Foy admits to it.
- The Sweet Sims complications were done without the simfile author's consent, but oddly contain rare simfiles, such as stuff pre FFR and BMS database wipes.
- There's a solo file in Keys of Fire pack done by Malice.

This is actually what he wants everyone to think.

When I beta-tested iDance with Positive Gaming, this ended up getting brought up and he told us what the real reason was (to this day, I will keep it in the vault ).

4.) There's a long-standing rumor that says Kyle Ward put a voice sample saying "masturbate" in the song Destiny. This rumor was somewhat further reinforced in my head when I went to beta-test Positive Gaming's iDance, where discussion led to someone saying that Kyle randomly opened a dictionary and landed on the word masturbate, and chose that to be the vocal sample in Destiny. I have no idea, I can't make this shit up.

Holy shit I remember when everyone was joking about that lmao XD I don't remember if I ever managed to hear it though.

- I got banned from the MGD forums for admitting I never played Super Metroid.

lmao what. That's pretty ridiculous.


EDIT: 1000 posts :O

Re: StepMania Fun Facts

Dark Chancellors was a thing that originated on RedFraction. I made a hidden forum called "The International League of Extraordinary Gentlemen oh wait I mean Simfile Artists" and gave access to simfile artists I thought were worthy

Jimerax then suggested we shortened the name and came up with Dark Chancellors, and that's how that came to be.

I'm not sure if anyone figured out my version was a reference to the league of extraordinary gentlemen movie but whatever

Re: StepMania Fun Facts

does anybody still have that v1? i heard a lot of people say his Bedtime Story file was really good but the one i played (the v2 i assume) i didn't think was very good

I don't remember that at all. That bedtime story is the only one I remember and is just annoying tbh, Visitor is the true culmination of minijack theory.

Re: StepMania Fun Facts

The unexpected nostalgia ratio in this thread is definitely very very high

Re: StepMania Fun Facts

The max combo of my files never end in a 9, the exception being the conversion pack that is BCMP 6, and possibly one or two 4k collaborations. The same applies to my charts on FFR.
