Video Contest Experiment #5323.2 Winner!
After sifting through all the entries, it was very obvious that we had approximately 9-10 video entries that made me laugh an equal amount. The cake, the ducks, the random body parts playing FFR, the “O” faces and quite a few others. So to be fair, I picked the winner in the MOST scientific way possible… I asked Master Hyrogashi.
Hyrogashi picked v0lcom and Hyrogashi is always right. Do not argue with him. Congratulations v0lcom, you have earned the respect you deserve for your incredible skills and thank you for everyone who participated tonight. I was amazed by some of the time taken on these videos on such short notice. We will be deciding on a runner up who will receive a secret bonus prize of glory. We will contact you directly to announce this heavenly awesomeness gift.

If you guys are bored, head on over to the video chat later on tonight.

All Shall Perish Slays With FFR Widget
ALL SHALL PERISH has joined forces with FlashFlashRevolution.com with a All Shall FFR Widget, bringing to the playing field some very challenging tunes to try to master!
Oakland’s ALL SHALL PERISH delivers brutal music that possesses a natural need to experiment and push the boundaries of the extreme underground. Their second offering, The Price Of Existence, will turn the death metal and underground hordes on their collective ear, and when all is said and done the band is sure to be touted as one of the best young extreme acts from the West Coast in this new millennium.
Next week the band heads out for their second European tour in EUROPE and RUSSIA with WALLS OF JERICHO, BORN FROM PAIN and FROM A SECOND STORY WINDOW.
Don’t forget to head out to the All Shall Perish myspace page and give them a little FFR myspace welcome invasion. There is nothing about this band that is not completely a*s kicking.
Cheers,
Synthlight

One More Batch O’ Spin
Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Labor Day full of … laboring or something. Even though the holiday is over, you can still celebrate with two more Spin It Up songs, which are now live and ready for your tender love and spinning.
In this corner, wearing the green tunic, hailing from the land of Hyrule, we have Hyrulian OC Remix, brought to us by the well-known OC-er djpretzel. This snazzy song sports the lost art of the flute solo along with a driving bassline and drums to give the classic Zelda theme an all-new makeover. MixMasterLar supplies the spinfile for the tune, which ranks in at the beginner-friendly difficulty level of 1, so regardless of your Spin skill, be sure to give this enjoyable song and spinfile a shot. His partner, wearing the black trunks with the black trim, we have the bangin’ tune Black Hole, a Spin It Up exclusive song thanks to /DJS\. Jugglinguy provides yet another mind-bending 6-rated file for the Spin It Up pros so be sure to focus or else the challenging Black Hole will swallow your mouse whole.
As Spin It Up picks up some more steam, don’t forget we have a full-featured real-time multiplayer mode for you to try out these new songs with three other players and we’re taking your suggestions and seeking spinfile authors in the Spin It Up forum section. Have fun with the new tunes and look forward to more being implemented in the game this Saturday.

Double the Spin, Double the Fun
To kick off the month, Spin It Up fans should be pleased to know, two new files have been added to the game and levels will once again be added to the game on a regular basis.
Starting today, both {Big Bad Scary Fish-Man} and Bomb the Base are available for play in Spin It Up. If the brackets weren’t enough to clue you in {Big Bad Scary Fish-Man} comes at you courtesy of fan-favorite artist cornandbeans. The dizzying file was designed for us by jugglinguy and can be found in the level 6 difficulties. If a level 6 is too spinny for you, mellow down the difficulty just a little bit with Bomb the Base by Paradise Decay feat. Nina Goddess of Dance. The level 2 file was created by myself in order to test the waters of adding levels to Spin It Up and features mostly straight forward beats with only a few semi-tricky spins. With both files being newly added, you can easily find both songs by going to their respective difficulty sections and clicking the up arrow once.
I have a good handful of spinfiles in waiting to be entered into the game, so with patience, we’ll be catching up on the Spin It Up backlog in no time flat with additions coming at you as soon as early next week. To talk about Spin It Up and find out how to contribute to the game levels, visit the Spin It Up section of our forums. Right now, I am considering Saturdays to be the day of the week I regularly add spinfiles to the game, but that is still in consideration – but know that the game will be receiving the proper update treatment and you’ll be hearing the name Spin It Up a lot more down the road.
The Final Four – Beginner Skill Token Month Ends
Awesome! My Internet has managed to stay active long enough to post this before it is officially September for us Eastern Standard Time folks. Perhaps my threats of punches and suggested possible dropkicks to the forehead worked. Not only does September mean Professor K’s birthday is a week away, but it also sadly means Beginner Skill Token Month has come to an end – but not without going out with a bang of four additional skill tokens aside from the two I just mentioned. Now, sure, you wiseguys and wisegals have already checked out our handy, dandy skill token list, but just bare with me for the sake of fanfare:
Stepping up to bat first is RaustBlackDragon who hits a double with two skill token songs. Soul Shift on page one of dance holds the key to unlocking Ride of the Black Rider – pass Soul Shift with a combined total of 170 perfects and goods and this majestic song will be yours. The step file for Ride of the Black Rider comes at you courtesy of SulferDragon, who dishes out a difficulty of 4, which will be the highest-rated song out of these four. A second RaustBlackDragon song can be yours by passing the rock song For Who I Am with less than 40 misses. Doing so unlocks Strategem, an onimous and powerful tune stepped by CoolBoyRulez0 for a difficulty level of 2.
If you have a hot whip and you want to drive, then tackling this token shouldn’t be too hard, and with success comes the ambient/chill tune Sine Reality II by Sanxion7. Sanxion7 provides more material for FFR, with a difficulty level 3 file created by blahblahblahblahblahblah (I really, really hope that is the correct number of blahs). Unlocking Sine Reality II requires you, the player, to pass the hip-hop song Freak Out with at least 143 perfects. And last but not least comes the high energy song We Interrupt This Program (AG Flash) by Aerogroove. Mr. Zombie has pieced together a level 2 difficulty, which can be yours just by passing the dance genre song Falling Into You with less than 60 boos (shipping and handling free, no C.O.D.s).
Now you just have to wonder … What “x” month will September be? Will it be Cheesecake Token Month? Wallaby Tossing Month? I do believe September is National Chicken Month. Will there be an FFR Chicken Month? Only time will tell …
New Songs of the Week, New Skill Tokens
Greetings everyone, it’s Professor K stepping in to provide you with news of brand new songs for you to enjoy in Flash Flash Revolution.
First off, if you are a subscriber, None Would Escape by Norsac is now being delivered to your front door. The step file provided to us by Brilliant Dynamite Neon adds a beefy new 10-difficulty chart to the game. With driving bass and drum work the song, which clocks in at just short of 2:30, is as intense as the stepfile. As always, subscriber songs are featured in the funk section, but only if you are a subscriber. It wouldn’t be a much of a subscriber song of the week if it weren’t that way, huh? None Would Escape is featured on page two of the genre.
On the other hand, if you aren’t a subscriber, all is not lost as you can still rejoice to a brand, spanking new song of the week. You can look forward to seeing Never Look Back (ha ha ha!) in the funk section. The public song of the week is brought to us by DJ SBX with a step file fresh off of the presses from MeaCulpa. The song runs 2:37 and is rated a 7 in difficulty and has some great build and breakbeats with steps that match the tune very well.
Now I’m going to clue you in on two more songs added today for your enjoyment. To round up August, a good chunk of beginner skill tokens have been implemented. The first two skill tokens feature very uplifting tunes to get you pumped up for a weekend away from school (we all know you’ll be staying up late tonight). Both of these step files come to us from user BEN.(SPEIRS) 7.5 and require good performances on a couple of classic 2nd Style song additions. First up, to unlock Crying Soul by BOUNCE, check out the song This Beat is for the Streets on the first page of the hip-hop section and pass it with a combined total of less than 100 goods and averages. Crying Soul is a 3 difficulty song that features a mix of ambiance, piano work and anthem trance and features some good bouts of 1/8th notes. Boot up the song Computer Dreams in the dance genre and pass it to unlock One More Night (Synthwulf Remix) by none other than Synthwulf. The steps rank in at a difficulty of 4 and feature some yellow note work to accompany the upbeat drumline and vocals.
This Beat is for the Streets and Computer Dreams will throw some 1/8th notes and double key presses at you, but don’t be detoured and you’ll nab the tokens with little effort. Don’t forget – after obtaining a token, you will have to refresh the page for the tokens to appear in the skill token genre.
Stay tuned to Flash Flash Revolution for even more news and content tonight. On a side note, is it possible to punch an Internet Service Provider in the face?
