"Show Me Your Crash and Burnin' Soul!" by Xuanwu 1-23-04

Oh, yeah! Time to strut my stuff in front of the ladies with Dance Dance Revolution! But... You've never played DDR! I don't need to! I've got the Konami code! Up up down down left right left right B A Start! I enter it, I win! But... The DDR pad doesn't have A or B buttons. Crap. That "E" you're about to receive isn't for effort, kiddo.

At least...I don't *think* the DDR pads have A and B buttons, do they?

nope, they dont. however, on the pads you just substitute the B, A for X, O and it works just fine. i forget what it does though. this is also the way it works on PS2.

i am a colossal nerd.

It's grime time.

Does that code work for MGS2 then?

---
Poop.

in Gradius III (Super NES), the correct code for extra lives is Up Up Down Down L R L R B A Start. The L and R buttons were new, you see. If you put in the regular code, your ship self-destructed. I am so fucking L337.

probably. i havent played that so i dont know what it does though.

---
It's grime time.

Hmmm I have a few Konami games. I bet they are the ones without the code though =/

"If you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in your family"

evidently, if you input the konami code on the title screen of one of the MGS games (the first one, i think), you can see a high-res video clip of snake and psycho mantis running a train on a bound and gagged meryl. either that, or there's just a clip of snake yelling. i forget which.
