Cracked 400. Up at 319 for total score. Completing a 30 minute long track where my multiplier was over 900 at the end kinda helped. :lol:

3-4 min - S.I. Futures - Freestyle Disco (The Osymyso Step) - 8,723,658- Suicidal
5+ min - Radioactiveman - Live on BBC Breezeblock - 84,245,036- Hardcore

This game is awesome.

I've been using the keyboard/mouse combo, but while I was at home earlier today, my friend and I did multiplayer by having him plug in a wired Xbox 360 controller. And it was awesome.

Since my computer holds ~3,000 songs right now, I have no dearth of songs to choose from. Also, I was talking with some friends about an idea for it. If you connect the computer to a TV, you could play this without looking on a small computer screen. So if you had, say, a 92" projection screen like I do at home and two wireless 360 controllers hooked up to it...let's just say that the trippy-ness goes beyond comprehensible. :D

Yeah, playing with a 360 pad works better than mouse/keyboard. The game is available on 360 as well, but I don't have a HD for my 360 and I wouldn't want to be shuffling songs over either.

So been playing this a bunch again the past week since buying the Ultra DLC. The perks and new bosses help with the variety and the vs and co-op modes are fun. Played a bit with Jack Frost and Simplehumar last night as well as a few random people. Yoshi mentioned getting Ultra so need to play with him too. JT, D, and Jeff are slacking and need to get on the ball. :lol:

Derp, and Sevin too. So obvious I forgot to note him.

Playing with a dual stick pad is far superior to mouse and keyboard in this case. As noted earlier in the thread, a wired 360 pad or a wireless one with a receiver works great too.

I plugged in my pad today and played a little bit. The difference is night and day compared with keyboard + mouse. I don't know what I was thinking.

Still working on unlocking the perks, but damn, isn't the game stingy with money?

Glad the pad is working well for you. Hopefully the video driver update will make it stop crashing on you. Money certainly takes a while. I'm still working on buying everything too. But that's fine, you can't use all perks at the same time anyway and gives you a longer goal to work toward.
