Either my post was deleted or I never posted seriously in this thread.
I found osu! when I first got a flashcart for my DS. I'd been playing FFR for a while and discovered that I actually like rhythm games providing the songs are good. My friend showed me Ouendan and I thought it was awesome, so I downloaded it and got bored after I cleared normal. Whilst on DCEmu, I noticed Custom Ouendan, but when I downloaded it it didn't run on my flashcart. After googling for a while I found osu! on a random brown blog, and I was impressed. When I went to actually download it I noticed it uses .net, which was incompatible with my OS at the time, Windows 98SE. For quite a while I stalked peppy, hoping there might be an update that would allow me to play it, but it never came, so I abandoned osu! and spent most of 2007 watching old anime on my Wii.
Before Christmas, my granddad asked me to choose a new computer, so I went there to where Gordon Freeman was fighting. John Freeman fired his bullet from teh gun really fast and the bullets went and shot the final boss in the eyes and the final boss couldnt see.
In the end, I chose a laptop running Vista, because Chiivis-tan is hawt.
When Christmas came I got bored after I realized starting Firefox would no longer take all day, so I downloaded a load of .net applications, all of which were shit.
Then, I remembered osu!. Watching a playthrough of Feel Good Inc. made me certain that the game was worth downloading, so I used my new 8MB connection to download osu! with Feel Good Inc, Rabbit Joint Zelda and the Ultimate Showdown.
It wasn't as enjoyable as I thought, and I was soon sick of those songs, so osu! remained dormant until a gigantic light bulb lit up above my head and I started watching anime on my laptop.
"I wonder if those ouendan people like animes..."
tl;dr google + new laptop.
