Honorable Mention: Tainted Rainbow (82) – welcome to the forums! your first post was your submissions… hopefully you’ll stick around for some more. CODxGLITCH (90) – you look 10 dude… your wedgie picture is disturbing. also a newbie to our forums. welcome and congrats! Heartseeker7 (108) – you called it… 3 times in a row. always a bridesmaid, never a bride. alloyus (112) – nice custom FFR shirt. but seriously… i don’t look like a fat-faced asian. .

5th place - Prime8 – I feel bad that you bought a wig… try to return it or something. I gave you a ton of bonus points, as your pics were really funny. Just not enough of them. 123 points.

4th place - Dark_Chrysalis – All around solid. 155 points.

3rd place - fermble – Awesome pics. The lack of a 2x bonus for an FFR shirt definitely hurt. 160 points is still more than respectable.

2nd place - iheartbyakuya – Late to the party, but it’s not about how you start… it’s how you finish. Tons of pics, awesome vids for bonus points, and a coin collection x2 got you a boost from 5th place in PSH3 to 2nd place here. 186 points.

and… the crazy manboob himself…

1st place - eastsideman09 – Almost every picture and insane combo photos to boot for some extra points. The real over the top was the 23 point shirt bonus off the 14 people / Waldo picture. 202 points total.

Contests In Your Future!

Few contests to announce, as the 5th Official is starting to wind down.

1) 4th PSH.  That’s Photo Scavenger Hunt, for those not familiar.  A PSH is where I give a bunch of things that you need to find (or do) and photograph.  The harder I think it is for you to do, the more points it’s worth.  Most points wins.  Contest will probably be next weekend, Thurs-Sun.  I NEED IDEAS.  POST YOUR PSH SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS!

2) 3rd GWC.  That’s GameWhore Competition, for those not familiar.  A GWC is a 24 hour event where you play lot of FFR and try to get the most.  We’ve done most points in 24 hours and also lowest average rank from a new account in 24 hours.  We’ll be using Vanilla Mnm‘s idea.  Thanks!

3) 40568th SponCon.  That’s Spontaneous Contest, for those not familiar.  A SponCon is a small, unannounced contest lasting only a few hours.  NAME EVERY SONG IN FFR THAT HAS ’123′ AS PART OF ITS NUMBER OF STEPS.  note: There are x number of songs that meet this…  and 1 additional widget song.  I do not expect you to get the widget song, but if you do there will be a bonus.

edit: Congrats Jugglinguy on winning.  Lulz at Rushyrulz.  Bonus goes to MrMagic5239!

Prize: 3 month subbie for the winner.  20,000 credits if anyone gets the widget song.  GO GO GO!

Let’s get this party started ya’ll!

Alright, you’ve been begging and pleading for us to get the show on the road, and we’ve listened!  The 5th official FFR tournament starts NOW!

For all the juicy details you can head on over to the official thread, but for the main page just a few things:

1. NEW TOURNAMENT DASHBOARD!

This time around, we have a new feature thanks to the amazing lightdarkness (that’s me!) – The Dashboard. It will be the center for information during the course of the tournament. It will provide you with info such as what round we are in, when the round ends, the songs for each division, and even the scores for each player in each division, etc. You can see for yourself

2. NEW Score submissions

The biggest change to this tournament is the way scores will be submitted – you don’t have to do anything! When you play the song for your division, the score will automatically be recorded to the tournament stats, which you can view on the dashboard. That means NO MORE SCREENSHOTS! I repeat – You DO NOT need to take a screenshot to submit scores for this tournament. All scores are automatically submitted, and it will only keep the highest score which means you can play it as many times as you want and it will only keep the highest score. This makes life a LOT easier for everyone.

As I said earlier, more information can be found in the official thread, so check that out, then head on over to the dashboard to view your division, and see what song you have to play!

Good luck to all!

Yup! You guessed it! It’s time again for the Official FFR tournament once again! You know, that time where keyboards get crushed, along with hearts, walls, heads.. and whatever else you crazy people do when you can’t AAA a song . Signups will start tonight at midnight, so be on the look out for the official post later on.

Just a little info beforehand..

Thanks to Mr.Mastermind LD, we’ve made some improvements on how the tournament is being run that will hopefully make your oh-so-difficult lives a bit easier. As prizes go, everyone will be filled in on them all of the other juicy details later in the official sign-up and tournament post – but just remember that this is the chance to grab your hands on the rare VRofl token if you finish in the top 8 within your division, so make sure you don’t forget to sign up!

Get ready!

Spreading the joy

Mirror is finally 100% fixed and with that I present a mirror mode for downscroll players as well! Key reverse is still required to use mirror, but that shouldn’t be that much of a problem. I also added a x1.65 speedmod for all you players between x1.50 and x1.75 that I left out last time.

Don’t forget to subscribe for all of these awesome features! Have fun!

Speedmods and Mirror!

Mirror has arrived and it brought along with it new speedmods! The speedmods include, x1.875, x1.95, x2.15, and x2.20. Don’t think that these will be the only four, I’ll add more in the future but for now be patient. Mirror is finally in-game and set as a scroll, however there are some things you must do before using mirror.

First off, set your keys reversed in the settings menu, i.e. zx./ becomes /.xz or it won’t work properly. Second off, there is a bug in mirror at the moment, the arrow flashes on the receptors will appear for the opposing arrow you hit, this is most likely due to the fact that I reversed the arrow output to achieve the desired mirror effect without screen flip. Now don’t think I will let this bug go unnoticed I will be working on it from time to time to get it fixed and working properly, maybe even completely redo the way I originally created mirror to get it fixed, but in the meantime I think the speedmods will compensate.

Once again, this is for our FFR Subscribers, so two more reasons you should subscribe! Enjoy!

Mute = No More Emotion

NSane is hard at work, and his newest feature is being tested on the beta for all our blue folk (aka subscribers). It is mute buttons for the menu music and the score screen music.  Each one has a button…  and they’re works in progress.  Expect them to save your choice in the near future.

Also expect the ability to select ANY song as your menu music soon.

Don’t forget to subscribe for these cool features and many more!
