WE FIXED THE PURCHASED GENRE!
OMFG… it actually happened. We fixed Purchased. If you go into the FFR Shop, you’ll notice a nice, new song in there, ripe for buying. R8U (Another) by Shiki is a mix off of Kyle Ward‘s R8U which is a mix off of B4U by Naoki that is well known in DDR. I’m sure you’re aware that 4FT3R M3 is a remix of this also. Stepfile is by Behanjc and can be yours forever for the small sum of 5000 credits.
Keep checking Purchased every few days, as we’ll continue to make use of the genre again now that we can. Give you guys something new to use your credits on besides gambling (if you have any left!). Expect songs to range from 1000 to 10000 in price, based on my own arbitrary feelings at the time of adding.

LD Thinks He Is Awesome… Is He?
So, I posted a subscriber news story last night (also found in my profile’s random thoughts) about how we are going to fix the challenge system so that you can no longer play files you don’t have access to by getting a challenge on them. Well, that has happened. So, now you won’t be able to play Vertex BETA vROFL unless you earn it. Or Otaku [Oni]. Or the big boy secret levels. Or any upcoming levels we have in store. These levels are meant to be rewards for an accomplishment, and they haven’t been to this point. Now they are again. If you want to play them, you’ll have to earn it.
You guys can thank (or curse) Lightdarkness for implementing this system. It is the reason he thinks he is awesome. I think he’s a pretty cool kid myself.
Finally… we have some new token ideas that we’ll be putting into place later this week, completely different than anything you’ve seen before. *insert gasps and looks of awe*.
Cheers,

4th Official FFR Tournament – SIGN UP NOW!!!
So, it’s that time again… time again for another official tournament. If you want to sign up, go here and click the sign up button. It’s that simple (note: you must have at least 100 games played to participate). If you have any questions or you want to start the smack talk… do it in the official thread! Now, to tell you a bit about this tournament:
There will be FIVE divisions, instead of 4. We hope this will help to thin the divisions out a bit, allow more users to have a chance to place and be competitive, and most importantly… cut down on the complaining! Just like the previous ones, you do not get to pick which division you will be competing in. Our Official FFR Tournament Co-Ordinator, Sprite, will have first and final say.

Lucky 999 In This Edition Of “Tass Is Bored, EVERYONE Wins!”
So, some people have been bugging me to release some of the old widget-only files onto FFR. But, like with anything, I need a good excuse. I figured, I would add a few of them in conjunction with the 1000th levelID on FFR… but 1000 is so cliche. I was a bit bored this morning, so I figured I would add some levels to FFR. LevelIDs 996-999. And since 999 gets no love, we’re going to celebrate 999 with 4 public releases of widget-only files.
New public releases:
-Power by ZeroFuser. Our 1st song by ZeroFuser since Gradeus, about 3 years ago! Stepfile is by hi19hi19… and it is a doozy! Definitely the new hardest file in FFR. You can find it in the upper left hand corner of page 1 of Dance
-What’s What is a cool dance track with some hip-hop undertones by Japanese artist Yu. Stepfile is by bmah and is an 8. You can find it in the upper left hand corner of page 1 of Dance2.
-Get Um Up by Army of Freshmen. A fairly typical modern rock song, Get Um Up will be making you get your hands up… which makes playing the file hard. Rated a 6. Found in the upper left hand corner of page 1 of Rock. File by bluguerrilla.
-Outside the Skies is our first musical composition by stepfile artist Stargroup100. Stepfile is by behanjc. The song is quite melodic. I rated it a 7 for the 48ths and the long jumpstream, albeit at a low BPM. You can find it in the upper left hand corner of page 1 of Misc.
Cinco de Mayo!
So, any excuse to clear the queue up a bit, right? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a song that related to Mexico or the number 5 or May. So, I decided to go with Endless Altercation. We’ll say that Cinco de Mayo ended that altercation. Whatever… it’s a stretch, and you guys don’t care anyway.
Currently located in the top of page 1 of Dance2, Endless Altercation is a song by our own KgZ. The stepfile is a lot of 16th jump-triplets and jumpstream. Not too fast though, so it’s rated a 9. It is also the first file in-game by smartdude1212!
Songs that came out this week: Metal Gear Solid Piano Mix by RaustBlackDragon. Stepfile by hi19hi19. Easy and melodic 4-footer, currently in Funk… will soon be in Arcade. Say It Right (Sanxion7 mix) by Sanxion7 (original song by Nelly Furtado). Stepfile by Eastsideman09. Straight-forward 8-footer, also currently in Funk, likely move soon to Dance2.

The Mirrors! And New Songs.
We wanted to let everyone know that profiles and the game should now be working across all mirrors. Synth lost a lot of hair figuring out what the problem was… and he doesn’t have that much to lose!
Also, has everyone gotten Rick Roll’d this weekend? You should have… if not, you haven’t been playing enough FFR. ReRicked was released on Friday, and is a techno remix of Never Gonna Give You Up done by KgZ. Stepfile is by SulferDragon. Released today is Xeno-Flow by beatMARIO. Steps by bmah.
Finally, if you notice some songs being moved around a bit over the next few days… don’t worry. That is just jimerax doing some house-cleaning after the avmiss fix. I’ll make sure to let everyone know when he’s finished so you can thank him for his hard work.

No Possible Way I’m Making A Creative Title Out Of The Songs I Just Added – So Take This Really Long Title Instead. Ha Ha Ha. Long.
So after a bit of mostly unnoticed bug fixes, we’ve released 6 new subscriber songs today. These songs will trickle to the public over the next 20 days, one every Friday and Sunday.
In order of release, from this Friday thru 20 days from now:
00.01 is a 12th note full piece (I guess that would be 3/4 time?) by Nejino Hito and is stepped by SulferDragon. It’s very video game sounding (It may be from a video game… I don’t know. Let me know if it is!)
Garyo starts off slow, like a gentle Japanese tea party, then quickly builds up into a firestorm of Far-Eastern Fury. It will have you wanting to do Kung Fu immediately. Song is by Xi and steps are by behanjc.
Metal Gear Solid Piano Remix is our token (not actually a token) “easy” song of this grouping, being rated a 4. It’s very melodic. Anyone who is a fan of piano pieces will enjoy this one. Remix is by RaustBlackDragon and stepfile by hi19hi19.
Say It Right -Sanxion7 Remix- is a very creative name, right? The song is initially by Nelly Furtado (no, we do not have her permission currently) and is remixed by my good friend Sanxion7. He takes a surprisingly catchy song and makes it even catchier. Steps are by Eastsideman09.
Szerencsetlen is a song name that is way too difficult to spell. Of course, it is courtesy of Venetian Snares. I expect by now you all know what to expect from a VSnares song in FFR. Lots of crazy drum beats leading to fast rolls/bursts. This song is no exception, although it is a bit light compared to other VSnares songs in FFR. Szerencsetlen will also be a Secret song, so you’ll need 80,000 credits to access it. Stepfile is by ~Zero~.
Finally, our good friends Zajac and Gorlock are back with another big time hit as Underground Concept. The song is Brain Dot Wave, with big time nerdcore lyrics and a tetris backbeat. Stepfile is by UC-approved simfiler jimerax. Make sure to check these guys out double.

PS – The Key Is Watching YOU!
More quick song update news stories.
So after a long day of driving and chilling with FFRers in Ann Arbor, we finally got into the hotel around 1:30am and I was able to add songs.
Big Blue is a remix of one of the levels from F-Zero…. my favorite level, as a matter of fact. Big Blue is an awesome song, and this remix is as well. It’s done by S.S.H. Stepfile is by jimerax, so you know it’s real deal. 4 Chord Touhou was originally submitted by cetaka about 6 months ago, and we really liked it, but felt it was overjacked for the current FFR. But with avmiss fix coming soon, we felt it would be perfect for this event. So we dusted it off and bring it to you now. The song is the best touhou song i’ve ever heard. It’s by Kil, so you wouldn’t expect anything less.
We had a great evening in Ann Arbor and look forward to seeing all of you in Bowling Green tomorrow! And if you can’t be with us in person, stay with us via the live broadcast… it will be on the front page of the site all day, complete with chatrooms and audio commentary by yours truly.
2 really long and complicated song names!
I’m pretty tired, so this will be quick:
Setsujou! Hyakka Ryouran! is by MOSAIC.WAV and is stepped by Rebirth0. Ketsarku Mozgalom is by Venetian Snares and is stepped by jimerax. Both are in hip-hop and are really hard. Both are pretty typical sounding songs for the artists.
