Hello
Hello, I am @@ (unconventional username, I know. It is pronounced a-Tat, like Ratatat without the rat in the beginning). I used to play MBU on my xbox a ton before I went to school, mostly single player but I was well ranked on both single and multi-player (I forgot where I was exactly, it's been a while). During my MBU days my gamertag was WizardMango, followed by STOADS WizMango, followed by DJ F00P. I created the @@ name after I stopped playing xbox, maybe some people remember me but I don't expect that.
Anyway, I found this site because one of my friends from high school messaged me out of the blue that he found a pc port of MBU. I was super excited to be able to play again and upon opening it I saw there were a ton custom levels, which meant there had to be a community making these levels. I searched for a community, interested in whether or not it was still active and I can say I am pleasantly surprised. Now, I have done a bit of research and found that this port of MBU is illegal and I shouldn't have had it in the first place so I deleted it. Again through research I found an active community with MBP, however I have some reservations. To be honest, I didn't really like MBG nearly as much as MBU. The ascetics and controls of MBU just felt a million times better to me. What are some improvements on MBU that MBP has (I realize it is a sequel to MBG not MBU but given it has been developed long after MBU I assume some things have been integrated or improved since MBU). Is there any way to make the game feel more like MBU? If there are, I'll definitely give it a shot, otherwise I'm really not sure how much I'll play.
That aside, I'm a Sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University studying Information Systems and Chinese, I have a strong interest in Chinese culture, geography, and rhythm games. I am very active in the ITG and Stepmania community. I have been to China twice for 2 month visits each time and will be there again this summer for three months to work and in the fall I will be in Qatar at CMU's campus there. That's about all you need to know about me. Hopefully I'll be around.

Was thinking about applying to CMU myself for computer science (Senior in highschool at the moment) but decided not too.
