The Games We Played Sheet Music
Undoubtedly everyone has played The Games We Played in the Arcade section right? Well just to let you know this 2-year-old masterpiece by Torley Wong finally has sheet music!
For those of you who don’t know what sheet music is, this doesn’t bother you. Go back to whoring whatever it is that you were whoring. But for those who want to get their greedy paws on it right now, you can find it right here. Have fun trying to learn this 17-minute conglomerate of video game song awesomeness!
Tass note: Sheet music is the notes that are played in the song written in musical notation. If you want to play TGWP on the piano, you’d use the sheet music that Jon & crew made. There is also a discussion thread for TGWP Sheet Music!
Photo Scavenger Hunt #3 – Need Ideas!
I’ve been getting some nuggding that people want a 3rd Photo Scavenger Hunt. And I’m happy to oblidge. I love them. They’re hilarious and you guys put so much effort into them. But, I’m starting to run out of ideas. Every time I think of something to use, I realize I’ve already done it in one of the previous 2.
So I need your help. I know I said that I wasn’t going to ask for assitance with this… but I’ve changed my mind. I want the help of all of you. Tell me your ideas. But, please, don’t be retarded with them. Don’t spam the comments with stuff. Keep it serious.
What I want from you guys is your ideas AND how many points you think it should be worth. Just remember, it needs to stay PG-13 (no nudity or violence!) and it should be doable by the majority of participants. Aka, if you have “picture of you in front of a corn field,” that is too specific. People in cities or various parts of the world wouldn’t be able to do it. So it needs to be broad enough that most people can do it.
I appreciate the help guys! If you guve me good ideas, I can run this in about 2-3 weeks.

Not A Falsie Report
Just wanted to give you guys a quick heads up that Falsie the Pseudo-Science girl was made public earlier today. It is an 80s akiba pop song by our favorite j-pop artist, MOSAIC.WAV. Stepfile is by world renowned simfiler, behanjc. It’s a little over 2 minutes long and is a 9 in difficulty. It’s yours for 4500 credits from the shop.

Note on Yahoo! Email Accounts
We’ve been having issues with Yahoo email accounts recently… nothing we send (email verifications, password resets, etc) has been going through to Yahoo; not even into Spam. We’re working on fixing this, but I figured I’d let everyone know that if you’re having a problem and have Yahoo, this is why.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
For those that know me, or have ever seen a picture of me, you’ll know that I sport a retro Philadelphia Phillies hat every day… and have for the past 8 or so years. The last championship for any major team in the city of Philadelphia was 1983, a year before I was born. It is so sweet to finally have a championship back in my City of Brotherly Love, and even moreso that it is my beloved Phillies.
I’m sure the majority of you guys don’t care about sports or baseball, but I do… and this is a moment in my life that I won’t ever forget. I flew across country, back to Philly, just to attend Game 3 of the World Series, and it was one hell of a game. I really am beyond words.
Congrats Phillies, and I can’t wait for the 2009 season!!!!!

PS – A small spontaneous contest… 10,000 credits for the 1st correct answer. How many more HBP does Chase Utley need to be the modern career record holder?
Forum Upgrades
I’m sure many of you guys noticed that the forum is down, and possibly one or two other small misalignments around the site. Fear not, we’re hard at work doing some maitanence and upgrades around the forum and the site. Hopefully will all be finished and back to normal by the time everyone is up for school tomorrow.

A Puzzle To Keep You Occupied
With Synth working hard up optimizing and updating our SmartFox (which is why ProChat and MP are currently down), I thought it’d be nice to give all you guys a little distraction.
Be the 1st person to solve this FFR releated puzzle and win 50,000 credits and a 6 month subscription. Post your answers in the comments of this story.
NOTE: do NOT post the answers to the 8 individual questions…Â you will only be helping other people!
1. Number of songs with 1 AAA.
2. The userID of the 1st person besides Synth to step a song for FFR minus that user’s age minus the levelID of the 2nd song he stepped.
3. The average levelID of the 3rd widget.
4. Find all the letters of the alphabet that are not represented as the 1st letter of an FFR artist (including widgets). In HEX, the sum of these lowercase letters.
5. This song has the highest percentage of AAAs per users who have played it (minimum of 500+ AAAs). Take the number of AAAs (rounded to the nearest hundred) divided by the percentage of users who have AAAd (rounded to the nearest 10 percent).
6. The number of notes in the second song by Excluded added to FFR.
7. The average rank (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the user who has the 2nd best average rank out of users who are 8th in their region.
8. Assuming all clicks were accepted, the number of t-shirts we’ve given away from linking to FFR.
Sum the answers to the above 8 questions and your answer will be the number of notes in a song (or songs). what song(s)?

2 In A Row! New Subbie Feature: Added Speedmods!
Hopefully this does show all of you that we DO listen to suggestions, even if it takes us some time until we can implement them. We had to remove 3.0x mod on the Beta, because the bar is now full. We figured you guys would rather have 2 new usable mods instead of 3.0x which is rarely used outside of as a joke.
2.25x and 2.5x are now usable! Yay! I know a lot of people were looking for a 1.875x mod as well, but there just isn’t room without completely re-doing that area of the settings menu.
I expect to see a metric butt-ton of new insane scores now… no excuses. Between masking and more mods, you guys are out of reasons to suck. And I say that with all the love in the world. <3.
-Tass, Synth, and the Green Lantern!
update: Another small feature… we added a song timer bar between the game interface and the MP interface. It appears as a black bar that gets blue as the song progresses. It’s not in the most amazing location… but it’s merely there to get the functionality in place and to beta test.
New Subbie Feature: In-Game Masking!
There are a few small features we’ve been wanting to add for some time now, and in-game masking is one of them. Many of you may ask… what is in-game masking? In-game masking is 2 things. It is the ability to hide your combo from displaying and it is the ability to hide your accuracy from displaying. Two separate features.
Now… why would this be a good thing? For the casual user, it likely won’t make much of a difference. In fact, for many users, it is crucial to be able to see one’s accuracy and/or combo. But for some users (especially reverse players), the combo and accuracy displays in-game can be highly distracting. It is for these users that we are giving the option to disable combo or accuracy or both.
For now, it is subscriber only. So if this is a feature you absolutely NEED, subscribe! You’ll also be getting all the other sweet subbie-only features and helping the site.
Be on the lookout for a few more small features that will make many users happy.
