I only have one question… Why has it taken FFR this long to find the music of Mika? Take a look not only at the outpouring of supportive comments but also the interesting take on his fresh electronic and pop sound that has been missing from FFR for some time..

Mika fills a certain void on FFR. His classic tracks like “Lollipop” very much remind me of the old DDR j-pop tracks. There is no denying the fun of this music and while they may only be widget based now, you can bet we are going to pull newer and harder versions into the game for you to conquer as soon as I can get Rebirth started on them this afternoon.

I am going to plug Mika here because I think he deserves our support. Please help me in leading an FFR invasion of his myspace to show our support. Feel free to leave comments stating you are from FFR. The image below will lead directly to his myspace page where you can check out his newest music, videos etc. LET THE INVASION BEGIN! (aka click on that huge image below. It is only a direct link to his myspace)

Enjoy!

Cheers,

More new subscriber features!

Xelius is hard at work, as always, to bring to life everyone’s ideas. The newest feature on the subscriber version of the game is merely a letter… but it is so much more. In the upper left hand corner, next to the Quality Q is a Song Selection S. If you click on the S, it will bring up a giant scrollable list of all songs in FFR… each one playable via a single click. Currently, the songs are listed in reverse order by reverse genre (hardest songs in Misc first, easiest songs in Dance last). This will be resolved tomorrow, but we couldn’t wait to get this feature live for everyone to test out.

And for everyone else, we understand you’re getting jealous. Do not fear! Many of these feature will become public in the very near future.

The Greatest Night in the History of Our Sport. Testing AvMiss Fix

The title is correct. We having a working solution for a feature (fix) that users have been asking about for approximately 5 years. Omg 5 years… Xelius has been hard at work squashing the AvMiss bug and he looks to be successful. Yes, he has been sifting through unimaginable amounts of tangled and twisted FFR code (I feel bad for the guy). His efforts are nothing short of miraculous and his results are fantastic.

We had a preview tonight but starting tomorrow morning we will be inviting all beta tester (aka subscribers) to come in and experience this new version and note down any bugs you may find. I suspect the results will change FFR scores dramatically. We still have not decide what steps to take in how to handle scores but we will be organizing and sifting through all the subscriber suggestions in order to come up with a solution quickly.

I ask that if you want to help Xelius eat and pay his rent (and help us with our costs) that you subscribe. He has been working insane hours on FFR lately and even more improvements are on their way. As always, we can use as many extra beta testers as possible. For those of you who are already a subscriber, thank you. You all make a huge difference in what we are capable of.

Cheers,

Synthlight + Thanks to Xelius

New FFR Features in Testing for Subscribers!

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on January 26th, 2008139 Comments »

Some of you may have already seen the following information from Xelius in the forum. For those you who have not, enjoy. Xelius has been working hard on developing FFR 2nd Style updates and refinements.

It’s the day you all been waiting for, some of the most asked for features have been put together in one big update. Before I list them, I would like to thank Nestlekwik and Tass for putting this list together, without them it wouldn’t have been possible. These are subscriber only features for now while we go through testing, available through this link: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/FFR_the_Beta.php

Key Configuration: This is where you map your keys, simple mouse click one of the fields and you’ll be asked to input a key.

MP Opponent Masking: This gives you the option to mask out the opponents arrows during multiplayer games. “Arrows” masks out the arrows, but you’ll still be able to see his ratings. “Full” mask out his whole side.

Cookies: All settings will be saved with cookies, meaning it will default to your last settings when you start the game. Who told you you could set my coOkiEs!? (inside joke)  ———————————————————————–
Page Navigation: Simply click the page you want to go to and it will take you there.

———————————————————————–
Chat on/off: If you don’t want to get interrupted during a multiplayer game, turning of the chat could be a good idea.

———————————————————————–
There is still plenty on the list. Expect more updates soon!

Hope you enjoy! :)

MLK Day Special

I hope everyone has had a good day off from school, for those in Middle or High School…  and I hope all the College guys and girls are looking forward to a new semester starting up tomorrow.  As a little present before things start getting hectic again, I thought I’d give everyone a public song.  ROAR (Rage Mix) is a really really catchy techno tune by Dr 1010, and is stepped by SulferDragon.  It has some nice bursts at 180bpm, so I rated it a high 8.  Shouldn’t be that big of a deal to FC or AAA.  It is currently located at the beginning of Dance 2.

There is also a new subscriber song on page 3 of Funk, stepped by jimerax.  You can thank Smartdude1212 for nagging me constantly about that.  :)

New Staff! Congratulate them NAO!

It’s been a long time since we’ve added anyone to the ranks of Super Moderator, and we felt that not only was it time to do so, but that there were 2 very obvious and deserving candidates. Their dedication to the site can not be put into words. That and I’m feeling a bit lazy with my praise at the moment. So, show some spirit for DrugstoreCowboy and devonin, our 2 newest Super Mods!

Also given some cool new powers is Sprite- (which some of you have noticed already over the past few days)! He’s been made a MP Mod, as well as given forum mod powers over the FFR Related forums (General, Brag Board, etc). Drugstore has also been given MP powers, because just like Noah, we have to do everything in pairs.

Finally… we’ve created a new subforum, for school-related assistance. It’s our Homework & General Information subforum, located within Critical Thinking. Check it out here, and make sure to read the specific rules for the forum here. It is NOT a place for others to do your homework for you… it IS a place to ask for general assistance on how to go about doing a type of problem or assignment. Basically, it will follow the adage, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” We will be strict in enforcing rules within this forum, at a CT level.

So, once again, say congrats to Drugstore, Devonin, and Sprite! Thanks for all the help so far guys, and keep up the good work!

Word Games and some updates. Gimmie a Stickie!

Likely most of you have noticed in the profiles the Word Scramble. Additionally, you have likely seen that the behavior of the block for them has changed. We have another 2 word games coming online hopefully this week, after going through testing with the staff and FFR Subscribers of course ;)

Also, we have a new FAQ in testing with more info going into the FAQ than ever before. That old FAQ (current) has needed an update like forever ago. Nestlekwik is working his fingers off in the new one as well.

Finally, regarding the profile entertainment, I will send out 1 – 5.5×5.5 FFR Guy Sticker for the first 10 (ten) users that post a Random Thought in their profile that makes me giggle, and has a title of “FFR Stickers Make My Bumper Look Better“. Make sure its exactly that text or I won’t find it either!

I will comment and post the winners here. Winners to be announced at 11:30pm EST, so that gives you over an hour.

Anything good is accepted, just don’t spam it up senselessly .. and if I find a really good one, might send out a shirt to that user too. Profile styles that make my time even more interesting will always help too ;)

Will post again as this goes forward.

Cyanite (The single most bizarre McD Evah!)
bluguerrilla (For interesting honesty)
zajac (Mr Coke for the win)

Jinxed_Phantom(I love dew)
Brian Inc (For the poet award)
MrMagic5239 (For his start of a self help group)
Drugstore Cowboy (For Video Skillz .. yessir! Made me laugh!)

Finally .. I find the image that is destined for avatars all across the internets!

EnR (Oh yes .. Tass Thong for the win!) Sticker and Shirt!

PM me names and addresses where I can mail these out and I will nag you later to get photos of where you put these stickers up ;) We want to see the love!
