Ok, so even though my first LIF box hasn't gone out yet (soon....), I did win a second LIF and want to get it off the ground.

So many people don't know this but I'm a fairly avid rhythm gamer (well... gamer in general but rhythm games are one of my big things). I started out playing DDR in 2001 and have played tons of games in the genre, mostly japanese ones but I have dabbled in guitar hero/rock band/etc. As part of my tax return gift/selling some stuff off for extra cash gift to myself, I purchased an arcade style replica controller for a certain japanese rhythm game (I can't go into too much detail in public). In this game, songs are rated on a scale of 1-16.

The LIF question is as follows: of the 124 (by a count I just did... may or may not be accurate, but it's damn close if not accurate) songs rated 15 in the game, how many of them will I clear by the end of March? The closest guess THAT IS AT LEAST THE CORRECT ANSWER (meaning kinda the opposite of price is right -- closest without being UNDER) wins (so if I clear 40 of them, someone who guessed 42 wins over someone who guesses 39)

Three hints for this LIF

1) I've played the game on three occasions prior to buying my own controller over the last year and a half (though on each of those occasions I've played a considerable amount of the game). The 6th song I cleared was a 14.
2) I've never cleared a 15. I've only attempted 3 and failed miserably at all 3.
3) I'm fairly natural at picking up rhythm games very quickly once I have regular access to them. A friend who knows a lot of the game sent me some videos of "easier" 15s that I should try, and I'm fairly confident in being able to clear those soon after getting my controller.

For what it's worth, it's coming from china (lol?), and while the estimated delivery says anywhere from late march to mid april, others that have ordered theirs from the same merchant have reported getting them very quickly (5-10 days after it shipped, which occurred less than a week after ordering). If it gets later into the LIF "window" I'll update the end time for this LIF.

The prize box will have a combination of a few locals as well as a few things from my cellar kinda chosen at random. Probably 100-150oz

Good luck! As silly as it may seem, rhythm games have been a huge part of my life, and most of my close friends I still regularly I met either directly or indirectly through them, as strange as it may seem. Rhythm gamers are a pretty close community, kinda similar to what I've found in the BA community

I will go with 33. I was crazy into DDR for a while but had to pull myself away from it.
Thanks for the chance.

I know guys that have a ton of bemani arcade machines that take them to conventions (the one I was at last month they were at and I played one game there) and a buddy of mine has a DDR arcade cab in his house, so I still play occasionally, but not nearly as much as I used to... not nearly as good as I used to be haha
