I'll do my best to help out on this wiki to the best of my ability. I want to make this wiki a bit more friendly for newcomers to IIDX, Pop'n, and VJA in general (like me).


Misc. stuff about me

I'm a newb to IIDX (I've only passed 3 10's). I've had BMUS since it came out, then got addicted and bought most of the home versions. I played DDR a lot before that (started October 2005), and still play now and then (can pass up to lots of 9s). I just got into Pop'n recently (Late April 2008) via a Dao ASC, and I've passed a 34 in it (Love-D-Rive).

I actually like Slake. Haters can go die somewhere. You guys just don't "get" him! :P

I put up a page on instructables.com on modding a IIDX controller's turntable: here.

I have a website: http://www.adamkaronika.com I keep my blog on there, and I update my links section rather often. Unfortunately it's down at the moment.

I'm currently attending The University of Texas at Dallas for their CS course. I know Psydude (DJ LEMON!) IRL from there. He's a worthy opponent, and is one of the only people who doesn't make 1P+2P with me sound like ass. I've also met Air+, who's better than both of us, but he's graduating from here, so yeah...

Greetz to BBH, Qube, and Azure, who I know from the Neo-Geo Forums.
