So, what is this? (pinned + navi)

Welcome to The Corner

Where I (Dr. Leona Napalm) write a bunch of stuff. Mostly related to retro gaming & film, my own reviews, journeys, life anecdotes and other think pieces. A lot of my content will contain: foul language and some mature jokes. Reader discretion is advised from here on out! I should also warn that this will be a blog/journal of sorts too. I constantly change journal styles, icons, and search for something that feels like home so apologies.

However, I will keep organized! Below you can see the tags and what they're for. Easy access to all my rants, my silly little journaling and more. Happy surfing, dude!

Dance Dance Memories!

Have you ever had the equivalent of cocaine in game form? Astonishing if you haven't, but to those who have you know EXACTLY what I mean. It's a game you could inject into my veins right now and I will be right as rain, forgetting everything that had to do with my life a few seconds ago.

The crowd applauds for me, clamors for my dance moves, I bring out the soft pad that never fuckin' stays in place, and I put my own two feet on the pad and select a song far too difficult for my adult knees. I rip the stage, I rip my pants, I am sweating buckets but I am having a GREAT TIME, feeling pumped up from the cheers and the great music. Standing in the exact same place as I was in 2009, when I was eleven year old and my knees weren't screaming at me. That is the magic of Dance Dance Revolution, no matter how old you are you will always be sweating buckets and a slave to its hypnotizing music that sounds like it was Nightcore before Nightcore got its name. Without fail, you are connected to all players in that moment after the song is over.
