Retirement

DDRProphet · Trick Member Joined: 13 Sep 2005

I have been giving quite a bit of thought, and I have come to a decision. I, Mark MacGregor, a.k.a. Diesel, am tendering my official retirement and resignation from DDR and all music games in it's entirety, effective immediately. Recent events have surfaced that have led to this decision. I can no longer barely tag along as the new generation takes over. It is time to step down and let the next generation of players take over. I am a dinosaur in comparison to the younger players of today. After all, I gave it a good run, and eight years is considerable next to some other veterans. So, thank you for everything. I can only hope that the paths of some DDR players and I will cross once again in the future. Good-bye, everybody.

Um, alrighty then...

Why all rhythm games? I understand dropping DDR, but what about IIDX or Guitar Hero or whatever else rhythm games you played?

Sad... but if you really think it's your time to quit.
Altho, you should at least move away slowly and keep playing Stepmania or something.
Oh well your decision.

Uh, good luck?

Honestly, I've never understood people's fixation with announcing their retirement.

Just because I am a Light member does not mean I'm a Light player. I played with the best, and I step down to clear the way for those who are more deserving. Dave Fier, LLX, Tr1x, Big Matt, Jimbo, Yasu, JSB, the list goes on. I'm not giving up on Guitar Hero, just games like DDR, ITG, Flash Beatz, and so on...

it always seems that light and beginner members say that theve been playing for like the beginnig of time. 8 years? thats goes to 1998, but what was it, like november 11?, you couldnt have played for eight years, and thats just in Japan. i doubt you got a machine like that.

away from technicalities....

if youve played wit them, surely you have Groovestats or a ddrecall or photo or SOMETHING, why join a board and then give up? seems odd to me...

hmm, thats seems disrespectful, oh well, ive been on a roll today

Umm... You realize I'm just screwing around with you guys, right? Hardly any of you know me, so you automatically think I'm worthless. Well, screw you and what you think of me in the first place. See you... I mean BEAT you... At the next tournament!
