Hello!

[darkarn]

Hi there, I am darkarn, currently 22 years old and a guy. I have been lurking here for so long (cos' it is useful!) that I decided to make an account here. I started following the iM@S franchise since end-2011/2012 thanks to my friends and will like to play the "main" games soon (and even make those L4U/S4U videos?); am playing with the PSP games (SP and Shiny Festa) right now. I do play other music games (or rather, started from them) like GitaDora, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, DDR, jubeat, Reflec BEAT, Project DIVA, DJMAX Technika, Taiko (of which I started at same time as iM@S) and MaiMai and do photography.

So, hello there! 

EDIT: Ah yes, I forgot about DJMAX, how could I?

I like photography too. I'm not very good at it, and I don't even have a proper camera, but I do appreciate well taken photos. You can post some of your photos in this thread.

And, welcome to the forums!

Huh..  Someone who plays a lot of Bemani.  Good taste.

Cool, a person with good taste.
We'll most likely get along. ^_^

Thanks guys, how's the Bemani/Sega/Taiko scene at your side? Here, all these games are pretty strong (although we almost did not get the newest versions recently :X)... except Pop'n Music and Taiko :O

Welcome!

Thanks man!

For the most part, it sucks unless you live in California.  The two arcades I frequented in my area closed last year and the closest decent arcade is a 3 hours drive from here.  SG's community seems to be nice and strong though.

Ah, I see... A pity indeed (where did all those plans to localise them go?! ) I last heard about TGA and Arcade Infinity being shut down but Gemini in Las Vegas still going strong... And yes, thanks, we are still ok here

Welcome to the forums fellow lurker!
Enjoy your stay and tell me, how is Project Diva?
I've been wanting to try it but my money's been going to getting Im@s merchandise.

Welcome to Project-imas forums, darkarn. As you can see by now, the people here are nice, friendly, and helpful. Enjoy your stay.

Hi! Project DIVA is a rhythm game like the other Bemani games with Vocaloids' songs in it. If you coming from those games that have notes falling down/up to a line, you will need some time to get used to notes flying all over the screen (especially Arcade) but other than that you should be fine...

Gemini in Vegas and Round 1 in Los Angeles seem to be the big Bemani spots over here.  Do y'all get Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4s in SG?

Yeah, I am going to fool around a little with my HiAce there... But I will be more serious if they allow itashas of the 765 idols on the cars

fffffffffff I have a R35 from 3DX+ that I can't use and I really want to see a WMMT4 here so I can convert it.  Nice to see y'all get some good stuff.  Does SG get E-Amuse for Bemani?

We do... But coverage is a lot less than before due to some pricing issues
