    Hey guys, I've been playing this really awesome rhythm game called Osu. Check it out at http://osu.ppy.sh and watch the video to see what it is, as I can't really explain it. If you like it, we can play sometime. My username is element.

    I'm guessing whoever came up with it was high at the time.

    Fascinating idea though.

    It's basically an elite beat agents clone (Ose! tatekae! Ouendan!). While the fanbase has yet to reach that of Stepmania, the software is polished and the community is awesome to boot; lots of anime fans!

    I recommend playing it on a tablet for the optimal experience, however the mouse can be used just as well.

    Yea, I was thinking it would be somewhat more fun on a tablet.

    Yes, it's more fun on a tablet, but better scores can be achieved with a mouse, and most of the top 10 are using mice.
