Was looking for IIDX videos on youtube and there was an osu playthrough of one of the IIDX songs. Looked up the game and bam.

from my friend jon.
although it sucks that he doesn't play often, we became good friends years ago from audition, and i had always wondered what "osu!" was [and his custom forum title was Rhythm Incarnate lulz], so he introduced me to it, mostly standard and taiko.

but yeah, it's one of those cases where whoever introduced you doesn't play but you become more addicted than they were.
then I found out a few of my other friends play as well, but only one of them plays actively.

the internet is such a small world.

First meeting with osu! was when I found it from freeware games torrent. It was really old version, and I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and I was like "LOLOLOLOL".

After 363 years IppE602 linked http://osu.ppy.sh/ and he said "DOWNLOAD, ILY" and I downloaded and played and stuff.
TTTTTTTTTTTT
Lks said"hey,do you know that we can paly ouendan on the computer? how about have a try it?"

I discovered Osu one years ago, when my (ex)boyfriend asked me to try it. From that day Osu became one of my favorite hobbies. :)

Is it odd to say I can't remember? My best guess is the EBA and Ouendan boards on GameFAQs.

Well mind kind of happened a couple times
VGcats was like "YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS" and I was like "OH MY GOD I JUST BEAT EBA I SHOULD TOTALLY PLAY THIS" then I played for 3 months or so and then switched computers and then osu didn't want to uninstall so I was like :c.

A couple months ago Gonintendo was like "LOOK AT THIS AWESOME PHOENIX WIGHT THING" and I was like "OH MY GOD I USED TO PLAY THIS" tried to instal it on my computer and it worked so I played it like crazy for a while then stopped

Fiiiiiiiinaly my skype buddies said "WE NEED A NEW GAME" and I was like "ok" so I created a list of about 60 freeware games and put osu! down just because I remember having fun on it a while back. We never chose it as our game that we always played but well ya, played it ever since

tl;dr VGcats told me, then gonintendo told me, then I told me.
those
EBA, heard of, played a bit of.
When I saw a video of osu! on Youtube, I thought this was a mouse-only game, and I was impressed. When I found out you could use the keyboard, I was disappointed.

While looking for a dance interpretation of Ouendan on the web, Youtube recommanded me to check a video of Don't stop me now on osu!.

First, I was like "Naaah, can't be possible, such a great game on PC, it would be a dream :( ". Then I checked the video description and saw the link to osu! website, and was like "OMGWTFBBQ it really exists !!!!!111!! :) ". And there you go.

My Italian friend told me about this game and linked me the site. I said "cool" and I downloaded it.

You already posted that here btw.

Oh, and I saw my cousin's friend play it.

I'm one of those where my friends linked me to it. The best part is, he told me that his motive was just so he could curbstomp me a few times to feel better. Within a week I got a 94% accuracy doing hard mode maps and he stopped talking to me. I don't even know if he's on osu anymore. If you're still around: Sorry if I scared you? Ahahaaa :x

My friend told me to play this game, although he never played osu! due to the system requirements. :)

My friend has it, and gave it to me. Now I lost it. :( Ah well, when I have my own computer, I'll just re-download it!

Reading this thread makes me think everyone was invited by someone.

As for me, I was searching for more rhythm games to play, Google led me here. Didn't like the concept at first, but changed my mind afterwards.

I heard EBA was a good game, so then I tried it emulated, but the hitcircles were so tiny.

Then I later saw a video of osu!, but it was CatchTheBeat, and I thought that the whole game was catching fruit. So I forgot about it soon after.

Months later I searched a Touhou song on YouTube and saw a video of someone playing it on osu!. Then I realized osu! also has a standard mode and a Taiko mode and is full of Japanese songs so I downloaded and played it.
