Does anyone else here play Osu!?

I have been watching Lobber (http://twitch.tv/alltheusernamesweretaken) play for a while and I finally gave it a try about a week ago. It's quite addictive and fun.

If you do play please share some of your favourite beatmaps with me! That's the one thing I have trouble with - finding good beatmaps.

If enough people play Osu! here perhaps we can turn this into a "share your beatmap finds thread"?

[Update]

Thought I'd update with what Osu! is in case anyone hasn't heard of and is interested.

Osu! is a Japanese rythim game that originally came out on Nintendo DS and was eventually ported to PC and iPhone because of it's popularity. It's free on the PC and you can download as many beatmaps (tracks) as you want (most of them are community made). There is also a perisitant scoring system and a ladder for high-scorers (though you would have to be insane to get anywhere on it).

Here's a video (don't worry there are easier settings for most songs):

Warning! This game may have a fatal effect on people who suffer from even mild cases of epilepsy. I'm sorry that this warning wasn't put up in time to save everyone.

Yeah I played it after Mafia ranted at me for half an hour about how good it was for improving mouse precision.

Good time waster but I get bored pretty quick. One good thing is that there's pretty much a beatmap for every kind of music so anyone can find an appeal. Although it is largely electronic stuff.

Will check this out, Partially because i love K-on and that song, so you've won me over with that.
(Edit:no keyboard usage(yet), oh well, i guess my mouse stilll soudns pretty sexy)


Will update this post later with thoughts/opinions.

EDIT: i slept about 4 hours, woke up and hopped straight back on.
This. Game. Is. Fun.

The main mode is 100% mouse work but there is another mode that uses keyboard, watch out though that mode is kind of hypnotic...

Also, if you love Jpop, Kpop, nightcore or techno I'm sure you will love this game. ^^

Yeah I have found a lot of different stuff and even some rock/metal I like. I was surprised there was no Red Hot Chili Peppers though, they are huge in Japan. I personally think the game is better suited to Jpop and techno anyway.

fyi there's an epilepsy warning at the start of the game (being serious for a moment)

also on a slightly less serious point, kawaiirice uses osu! to warmup before a big laddering sesh, he used to stream this when he was the self-titled "worst quality streamer on TL" (**** i miss that stream)
