FFR Radio, Back On Top!
Howdy guys,
After some fine tuning and major convincing, I’ve decided to have a comeback tour on the radio. So, expect me to be in there broadcasting fairly frequently at all hours of the day and night. Having some issues with my mic, so no speaking until I get that worked out… but awesome rockin’ tunes and your requests.
I’m even broadcasting RIGHT NOW. As of 10:00pm PST. Will update this when I get off as well.
I’m on Station 3. So come listen and chat.

EDIT: Oh yea! The link to the radio is at the top… or just click on this whole thing.
EDIT2: 11:50pm PST. Radio Show over. Show died when my winamp locked up. Went from 19 listeners to 5.
Skill Token Updates And AdminCon Signoff …
We think everything should be working correctly for now. Please confirm that the skill tokens are working for us and let us know. Essentially if you received any of the skill tokens, they should be showing up now.
Please post in here if you still have issues. Also the skill token page will be updated in the next couple of days to properly show the current data!
On a final note from me, thanks for everyone’s patience these last couple of days as we are winding down on our massively busy week, where Rick0rz, Xelius, Nestlekwik, Tasselfoot, Synthlight and myself spent many MANY late nights and early mornings getting plans in place, testing ideas and moving FFR ahead.
A lot of FFR and its neighbors are going to see some love and get updates from profiles, to FFR, to SpinItUp, Metrivia, the FFR Video Chat and Rithum Gaming News. Pretty much all of the sites and sections have schedules for updates throughout this summer and if we can hit all our goals you guys are in for a big summer too!
A lot is on the way folks .. and the summer is just starting!
See you guys out there and in here!
Spontaneous Contest Winners Announced!
The contest is officially over and we apologize for the wait, but here are the results you’ve been waiting for. Each panel judge selected one photo a piece, and here are the winners of tonight’s spontaneous contest:
It’s good to be the King. Submission by DJ_Swabber.
My local Chik-Fil-A closed, so it’s good to see the cows are still getting work. Submission by WVUSaxyGirl.
Apparently this person knows I sometimes wear glasses – great photoshopping here. Submission by omg_its_manda.
All winners should check their private messages sometime in the near future to receive a coupon for the free shirt, which we will be able to mail to those who order as soon as Monday. As always, thank you to everyone who entered the contest and don’t give up hope if you didn’t win. There’s bound to be at least one more contest before the week is over …
I’ve been notified the token is still on its way and, one way or another, it will be posted before we retire for the night. Keep checking back and we’ll provide the clue to get you well on your way to another FFR song. If everyone is good, though, I might still release a bonus file tomorrow.

OMGWTFBBQ Tass Made A Simfile?!?!
Yes… it is true. I have finally succumbed to the darkside and made a simfile. Albeit… one of the easiest files in the game. It’s by one of FFRs oldest artists, Antinomie. The file was gathering dust in Kwik’s basement (same with Killer Dance Floor. They were roommates.) The song is called Free Space. It’s 3:18 long, but I cut it to 1:08. Expect me to make a full version as a v2 later on that is a bit harder.
This continues and spearheads our effort to get more easy files into the game to please our less-than-skilled users, who may be less vocal… but are the majority. So no complaining if you find it too easy!!! It is easy on purpose.
You can find the file in the upper left of Dance page 1. Killer Dance Floor is now in the middle of the upper row of page 1 of Dance.

EDIT: We also would like to let you know that there will be a Spontaneous Contest tomorrow, a Token released tomorrow, and likely a Spin It Up file tomorrow.

Quick little news story: Check out everything that is going on in the radio! Specifically, check out Station 5, where DJ Neko (littlenekochan) is broadcasting live from the Meeting here in Chicago.

FFR Blue Man
I thought it was about time that I surface this week and actually write something on the front page of FFR during FFR AdminCon 2. I was having some serious FFR posting withdrawl.
After a long few days of keeping everyone locked in the basement of this gorgeous house while I eat pizza flavored pringles, I thought it was time to release everyone out into the midst of the Chicago nightlife to experience Blue Man Group at the Briar Street Theater.
I suspected that everyone enjoyed the show.. but.. I had no idea just how much they enjoyed it until after the lights turned on and everyone posed for a picture just outside the theater.
And this is that picture..
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Synthlight
Update from Chicago
So we’ve had a long day of meetings, not getting our computer set up that has Flash on it, and wandering around downtown Chicago at 10-11pm… which is apparently really late, because everything we wanted to go and see was closed. Sears Tower, Millennium Park, and some really really big fountain. Basically, we’ve discovered that Synth doesn’t know his city very well. :-/
Anyway, we’ll get that simfile released to you guys mid-day tomorrow. Didn’t want you staying up all night waiting for it when it won’t be around for another 12 hours or so.
Keep up the suggestions and the amusing comments. We’ll try to do the same.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Released on Sunday was The World As We Know It by Scary Kids Scaring Kids. This song appears on their debut album, The City Sleeps In Flames, that was released under Immortal Records. This is their first song on FFR. New to making simfiles, this song was stepped by unkdavar. The song is rated a 3.5/6 (difficult) and is located in Rock.
Scary Kids Scaring Kids formed while still seniors in highschool. They recorded their debut EP, After Dark, and released it independently in their hometown of Gilbert, Arizona. They applied to colleges just like every other senior, but the escalating buzz of their cd caused the band to take a different course than intended. Scary Kids Scaring Kids ended up being their first priority. They left behind families, relationships and scholarships in hopes to make it big. They were signed to Immortal Records and recorded “The City Sleeps In Flames”.
These days, the band spends most of its days on the road touring. This summer, Scary Kids Scaring Kids will be touring with the Vans Warped Tour. They also have other tour dates before the start of Warped. You can check them out here.
Synthlight sent me 6 FFR t-shirts so I could give them to each member of band at their next show. I plan on taking pictures with them and Pouyan (the keyboardist) even said that he would wear his shirt on stage! Look forward to that update with pictures soon!

Update from FFR AdminCon 2
After a solid 24 hours of sleeping, eating and laying around, the powers that be are finally up and around toiling with the very fabric of Flash Flash Revolution and its associated sites.
For those not in the know, a select group of adventurers and code wizards have met in Chicago to discuss the future of FFR, the profiles, Spin It Up, MeTrivia, Rithum News and other projects so secret that even the utterance of their names causes the walls to shake. In fact, with all the pictures we’ve knocked off the walls and broken, it’s safe to say Synthlight has already lost the deposit he put down on our temporary living quarters.
In the downtime, however, we should be making the front page quite active with updates and news concerning future developments along with all the funny occurrences that unfold amid our antics. We will also be graciously releasing bonus FFR and Spin it Up files through the week, holding spontaneous contests and appearing on FFR radio shows (subject to Internet stability). For all intents and purposes, if there was ever a week you wanted to be on FFR all day, this is that week.
Since we’re all here discussing the future of the very sites you’re browsing right now, we’re opening this topic’s comments up to suggestions of what you would like to see. Whether it ranges from FFR features to merchandise to the smallest of suggestions, please leave a comment and tell us what is on your mind.
Cheers,
Synthlight, JasonKey, Tasselfoot, Nestlekwik, Xelius, Rickz0rz, AnotherUnique and littlenekochan
