Kyle Ward – Best of FFR Compilation Album and Tell v3 Support Token!
So, have you always wanted your favorite KaW songs from ITG or FFR to listen to anywhere? Now is your chance! We’ve worked with Kyle and his partner at SCI Recordings John Mendenhall to bring you this Best-Of album. Put together by yours truly, this album features 12 of your favorite songs across all of Kyle’s aliases AND 2 bonus tracks from Kyle and John’s duo effort, Oscillator-X. All yours for $8.99.
Track list:
Banzai – Anubis
Banzai – Zodiac
Inspector K – Disconnected
Inspector K – Infection
Inspector K – Tension
KaW – Kagami
KaW – Take Me Back
KaW vs Smiley vs Inspector K – Duality
K-Bit – Robotix
Smiley – Delirium
Smiley – Destiny
Symphonious – Tell (Extended Mix)
Oscillator-X – Dance All Night
Oscillator-X – Style On My Speed Dial
And, of course, there is a support token attached to this album as well. Way back when, dore created a chart for Symphonious’s Tell for our Easy Skill Token event. The masses spoke and wanted something harder… so Tell v2 came about. But many users were used to the jacktacular Guillaume Tell chart for SM and wanted something similar in FFR. THAT is what this file is. A For Guru’s Only Tell v3 chart, a full minute longer than the previous 2. This file is full of insanely fast jacks. Have fun with it.
Purchase the album now! To activate the token and download your purchase, go to this page.

edit: Oh yes… I forgot to add… if anyone AAAs this on video (showing hands and screen, sound taps, etc), I’ll cover the cost of the album and throw in some other stuff as well. My personal challenge of saying this will never be AAAd.

Wed morn edit: Mad props to adamaja456, bballa48, bluguerrilla, card man, funmonkey54, norsegod666 for buying the album so far. You should not feel jealous and sad that you didn’t buy it yet and therefore don’t get your name on the front page.
Profile Backgrounds
So, in December, the backgrounds for profiles were not behaving correctly. This was fixed about 2 weeks ago, although we never formally announced it. Now we have. Enjoy the fix, my little FFRspacers.

SotY 2009! Take me back 5 years!
Song of the Year took a break in 2008, because we didn’t have anything awesome enough for it. There were rumors of Mario or TMWT… but it all came and passed. And now it is 2009. And we have SotY again! We’re going to party like it’s 2004!
The full name of the song is OSTER Project presents World Tour 2004. Seeing as how that is both a mouthful and redundant, I labeled it simply “World Tour 2004″. Artist is, of course, OSTER Project.
Now, why does this song classify for SotY? Because each one of us can relate to it. The song hits music from all over the world. It also happens to be the longest song in FFR and the song with the most notes. A AAA on this will net you over 6 million points! It is 8:38 and 3940 of goodness by behanjc. It’s FMO for some jacks and length and PAing 24th jumpstream… but it’s not TOO bad.
How can you play this, you ask? All you need is 20,009 credits and you’ll find it at the top of page 3 of Secret.
Enjoy and Happy New Year!

FFRMas 2008 Epic Conclusion Of Awesome!
You may say… “Tass, you’re lazy and you didn’t give us any news stories about the previous few days!” And, you’d be right. But, there is madness behind my logic. Sort of. I wanted to let you all simmer and come to a slow boil, culminating in today’s over the top bonanza of filey goodness.
Let’s do a slight recap… we’ve had Shash and S.S.H., Virt and SHK, easy files and hard ones, Leeroy Jenkins and some Ladies To Which We Say HEY, kLutZ and KgZ… not to mention, RATO. To finish it all off, we’ve traveled Across Rooftops to Wish You A Merry Christmas while Church Bells chime for all!

FFRMas 2008 – Days 7 & 8!
I’ve been putting in way too many frequent flyer miles the past week. I was on an airplane all day yesterday, quickly uploaded levels last night and went to bed. Apparently there was an issue to Hey, Ladies… but I fixed that up today.
Hey, Ladies is a MASSIVE Parental Advisory song. It’s absolutely hilarious, but definitely NSFW! A 6 in difficulty, it’ll be harder because of how much you’re laughing. Of course, it’s a Futuristic Sex Robotz nerdcore song stepped by dore. What else would it be?
I Hate The 80s is a massively overstepped, yet fun, song by Duran Duran Duran. I’d like some input as to whether this is really high FMO or low FGO. File is by bluguerrilla, but please don’t encourage him to make more charts like this. 
 If nothing else, this song is another excuse to say Cock Rock Disco.
Brandish Headless is the first chart for today. Those in the know will definitely recognize the song from SM. Those not only need to know 3 simple things… Shash file. S.S.H. song (with Jun A.). FMO. Go go go!
Finally is Lady’s Cake by our own DarkbearX. Fairly simple song that follows climax theory, making it a 7 difficulty overall. Chart is by DarkbearX & HammyMcSquirrel. DbX adds his name to the ever growing list of users with both a music producer and simfile author distinction.

FFRMas 2008 – Days 5 and 6!
I have a good reason for no story yesterday… I wanted to make sure the sync issues in Etude in E Major were fixed first. I took care of that earlier today, so voila.
Etude in E Major is a really simple file, a Classical FBO. Song is fairly well known, composed by Chopin. Stepfile by Xandertrax. Juxtaposed with that is Toxiferous Dystopia, which is a FMO song by DJ Cristo. It’s a pretty darn rough FMO. Stepfile by TC_Halogen.
Today’s 2 files are both on the harder end of the spectrum. Master Maid (which, I’ve been told, has no relation to I Am Maid apart from both being Sharpnel songs with “Maid” in the title) is a FMO Sharpnel file. Because of the name, I stuck it in Purchased… 2500 credits only. It’s pretty much what you’d expect out of a FMO Sharpnel file. Still fun to play though, so give props to kommisar[os]. Along with that is t+pazolite‘s easy-at-a-VC song Summer Time Perfume. Just like the name says, it’s a pretty fun and airy journey through 4 arrowdom. I’m not sure what bmah was thinking…. but the file has 1666 notes. Your guess is as good as mine.
Other news: I’m so swamped right now, plus traveling all day tomorrow, that I’m pushing back PSH3: Return of the Mannequin until the 1st weekend in January.
