DDR On FIRE!!!

Everyone’s heard of DDR by now, it’s responsible for teaching basement nerds around the world how to “dance”, and look idiotic in front of others. Now have you heard of Dance Dance Immolation, the pyrotechnic dance platform? Didn’t think so, it’s a modified Step Mania game with jets of red hot propane pointed at the dancer, awaiting any false step. Michael Reilly (pictured above) has written an article for Wired magazine about his experience on the DDI.
The game’s creators, the Bay Area group Interpretive Arson, hacked an open source version of DDR called StepMania, then added a 12-foot projection screen, supersize dance pads, and, just to make things interesting, nine propane jets. Screw up a dance step and you get broiled with 3,595 degrees of flaming propane.
