The new update patch for Pump Pro was announced and some of its features along with it.

* Half Doubles support - New Step charts for every Pump Pro song! You can now select half doubles from the difficulty list. We've decided to resurrect this classic play style with Pump It Up Pro!

Starting today until the end of July all remaining roots 26 shirts and bemanistyle shirts available at mydjsobad.com are seeing a $5 price drop. This is sort of like a clearance sale, but more of an effort to recoup some of the costs from ACen, which we still haven't completely bounced back from (and don't worry, ACen wasn't a failure, it was just really expensive to bring everyone out).

The money from these sales are going towards a late July/Early August stock update at mydjsobad, a project we're starting this summer, and a new server for the website. The ...

As some of you may know, forums moderator MidnightRealism/BUTT FEAST/Tom G. is undergoing heart surgery today. On behalf of the staff, members, and readers of this site, good luck midnight!

If you're religious, keep him in your prayers until his return. We all hope for a safe and quick recovery! I'm sure it'll go swimmingly because to our understanding, his doctor is the guy who programmed Space Invaders. He even signed a copy of the 2600 game for Tom, what a cool guy!
