Sign for Dance Dance Immolation

At a warehouse in Oakland, Calif., Saturday night, video gamers got shot in the face with fire--all in the name of what some would call fun. The fun, in this case, was an evening of Dance Dance Immolation. DDI is derived from Dance Dance Revolution, the popular video game that tests players' dance moves and is being incorporated into middle school physical education programs. DDI, however, combines the movements with flamethrowers--needless to say, it's for grown-ups only.
