[pygame] PyDDR in NTK shock!
As I suspect many of the non-european Pygame users may not have seen
this, I thought I better post for your enjoyment.
NTK [http://www.ntk.net] is a weekly (sarcastic) newsletter that's
quite popular among the UK IT spods. Think "The Register", without page

PYTHON DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION, the high-level, ogg-wielding
scripting dance game for Linux or Windows, a PS2->USB
connector, and a DDR mat. For those who like their GPL'd
rhythm games more polished - and platform specific - there's
the Visual C++, but otherwise damn fine STEPMANIA 3.0, now
with a vast world of skins, track editing, extra announcers
and music files behind it. If you can *get* the music files,
that is : our copyright overlords dictate that your
favourite MP3 tracks be hidden away from sight, like escaped
rebels or MAME files. But, hey, that's why it's called
revolution, right?

- and so on.
*Many* congrats to P1E on the above! This is a rare treat indeed... :)

P.S. I hope you got some decent hits over the weekend... ;)
