beatmania IIDX RED Rival Exchange

The recently released *[beatmania IIDX RED](http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/bm2dx/11red/)* features a new set of functionality allowing you to load up to five saves from other players into your game as rivals, and giving you in-game comparison between your scores and theirs.

While it’s a great feature, there’s one small shortcoming: there’s no way to go online to exchange saves.

As of late last night, [VJ Army](https://vjarmy.com/iidx/) has begun supporting upload of PS2 save files for your profile. Any user can upload one save in any of the common save formats (XPO, XPS, MAX, SPS), and the file will be hosted on this server. If you’re a VJ Army member, sign in and then look on the left hand menu for “Upload Rival Data” to find the form. (And remember to set your user ranking in the control panel.)

If you’re not a member of VJ Army – or even if you are – and want to browse the files that have been uploaded, you can do so on the [Find Rival Data](https://vjarmy.com/iidx/findrivaldata.php) page.

And if this all confuses you, documentation should be available within the next couple of days.

Getting The Check

I’ve spent eight out of the last twenty-four hours of my life bringing my Amazing Race obsession to a head – first with TARcon 9, the Television Without Pity viewing party, and then with the CBS Early Show (where the checks were handed out).

I’d write more, but I’m really exhausted – so I’ll just point you to the photoset and let you peruse at your leisure. Big thanks to everyone who put TARcon together – it was completely worth the money.

Comedy Megaton

Via Brooklyn Vegan, the [greatest comedy show of the year](http://www.summerstage.org/index1.aspx?BD=19254):

> NYC’s premier venue for alternative comedy brings a night of stand-up & sketches to SummerStage. Hosted by Paul Scheer (VH’s 1 Best Week Ever) and Rob Heubel (Curb Your Enthusiasm) with scheduled performers Aziz Ansari (Comedy Central’s Premium Blend), Todd Barry, Jackie Clarke, David Cross (Arrested Development), Demitri Martin (The Daily Show), and Amy Pohler (Saturday Night Live).

This is about a week before [Del Close](http://www.delclosemarathon.com/dcm8/index.php?option=home). And if [the line](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/27693926/) was bad last year, it’s going to be 10x worse this year.

Note to self: Leave work early.
