steadmanized

A man who is basically overshadowed by his female partner. People know that he exists, but could care less about him.
Dan used to receive a lot of press about his career, now that he's dating that uber famous movie star, he's been steadmanized. Where is he anyway? Who cares?

Stepmania

Noun. A kick-ass computer version of the kick-ass arcade game known as Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR by some of the better players. Especially popular with those who can't--through some reason or another--play DDR but enjoy the game nonetheless. The arrow keys of the keyboard replace the pad, unless one owns a pad which they can plug into their CPU's.
Ex. 1:
A: "Dude, let's go to the arcade and play some DDR!"
B: "Can't, man. I'm broke. Wanna go play some Stepmaina at my house instead?"

Ex. 2:
A girl who cannot play DDR because she is wheelchair-bound will often own a copy of Stepmania on her computer to get in on the action.

Stepmania

A Dance Dance Revolution (aka DDR, a four-panel dance game) emulator game that has been ported onto several computer platforms, including Windows, Linux, Macintosh and the Apple iPod (via iPod Linux). Gameplay is similar to DDR, where colored arros scroll up from the bottom of the screen and the player must press the corresponding arrow key (or number pad key) when it reaches gray, static arrows called the Step Zone.
Files for the game (called stepfiles) are user-made, and include a .sm (StepMania's native file format) or .dwi (Dance With Intensity's native file format), a sound file (usually mp3 or ogg) and usually a set of graphics for the background and select screen banner. Some programs, including Dancing Monkeys, have been made in a attempt to make stepfile creation automatic, but files created by these programs are universally accepted as CF (or crap file, a reference to what began as a inside joke about Cobalt Flux metal pads, which are known by their high quality).
StepMania can also emulate Pump It Up (PiU, five panels arranged in a cross-shaped pattern) and ParaParaParadise (PPP, five arrows arranged in the forward, left, right, up-left and up-right positions). The StepMania codebase was used as the source for In The Groove (ITG), a four-panel dance game infamous for its competition with DDR. ITG is now owned by Konami, the producer of DDR, due to a recent lawsuit against Roxor, the producer of ITG.
Hey, I just finished my stepfile for StepMania!

Stegmans are the best!

Stepmania

A video game that emulates the DDR series that is imported on a computer system. It's a rhythm game that has arrows that scroll up the screen in which you must hit the corresponding arrows on your keypad at the right time. Difficulties can range from easy to insane and there will always be somebody better than you at it. (in exception of one person) It takes up very little space but increases exponentially according to the number of song files you download and implement. A fun game that will become boring with extended play and skill. Best played in full screen and with a good keyboard. Stepmania can only be retrieved at the official Stepmania website. Google is your friend.
Dude! I pwn a Stepmania!

Not as much as I do. SM is The Roxxorz.

Stepmania Drama

Stepmania Drama has been around ever since Stepmania was created. People have been arguing over what's better in the game, and have created internet drama, known as Stepmania Drama, or SM Drama for short.

A large number of SM Drama occurs on forums, mostly at larger forums such as FFR, ODI, and BMS.

The results of SM Drama can be seen at these forums also. People are called bs, resulting in them flaming other people over their scores. It can also happen over a controversial simfile, or something in the graphics for a file, as well as the song. It has happened a few times over people leaving the Stepmania community.

The most famous case of SM Drama has been when the infamous Nima created "Omg... Did Insane..." at FFR and faked scores. It was such a revolutionary thread that it was made into the site, omgdidinsane.com. It ended up being locked because of the massive amounts of people flaming each other. It was then sent to Legendary Threads.

Some instances of Stepmania Drama:
