    Exit button

    there needs to be some way to quit out of a song other than just holding down an arrow to fail intentionally. i say this due to the fact that our phone rings constantly and i'm always having to run and answer it. also, i think i saw a post by Synth saying he may change the ranking system over to score/games played or something like that. if that became the case, my rank would drop drastically, because i HAVE to answer the phone (or else my parents yell at me).

    so, i think there should be a keyboard command to make the song end and return u to the main menu without increasing or lowering your score. what do you guys think?
    So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

    In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

    So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
    And I write the blog for their website.

    Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

    Well, as long as you don't retain any points or credits, i dont see a problem. I vote YEA!

    Though there may be an issue of abuse when it comes to challenges =/

    Now, a PAUSE feature (where the screen goes black) might be a better idea then...

      There's a REALLY easy way to stop in the middle of the song. I use it all the time, which is why I don't have that many "Games Played". I probably would have about 700 more if I failed intentionally on those songs.
      I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

          Yes, i'd agree with a pause command because i get a lot of IMs while talking, or something i got to go run errands.

                  I just F5 because I usually want to play again. Refresh will bring FFR back up right away.

                    Well then, I've got a genius idea that I wouldn't think would be too hard for Synth to program. Make the Esc key function as a refresh (ie make the comp think you hit F5 if you hit Esc)

                    I said Esc because SM has a cancel thing involving holding Esc.
