Angels & Airwaves Autographed Merchandise (FFR Contest/Giveaway)
In case you guys didn’t know (how could you not?) The Angels & Airwave’s album hit stores today. Because it was so well received at FFR and played so often, we were able to work with Tom and the rest of the band to provide 2 autographed posters and 2 autographed CDs to a few lucky fans. Did I mention the A&A widget has been played over a million times?
I can’t decide if this is a contest or a giveaway. Honestly, it’s one of those contests that are so easy that it is basically a giveaway. By easy I mean it only takes about 30 seconds to be eligible.
Here is how you do it: Simply click on the “share” button in the upper right hand corner of the widget in order to embed the widget on your myspace. You then need to leave a comment or PM on the Angels & Airwaves Myspace Page letting them know that you have added their widget. Easy right? Of course.
Within about 48 hours, a rep of the band will tell us who the winner is and we will announce them in a front page story here at FFR. They will ship the autographed merchandise directly to you.
So if you have ever been a fan of Tom Delonge (formerly of Blink 182) or if you think Angels & Airwaves kicks some major ass, here is your chance to get autographed merchandise. This contest is exclusive through FlashFlashRevolution.
Cheers,
Synthlight

Game Recording & Playback
Last night I hinted at a new major feature that will be hitting FFR. We are still putting the final touches on the feature but I figured you guys deserved to know what we are up to.
As the title says, you will be able to record your games and play them back. As a matter of fact, you will be able to let anyone view a level you just played by simply linking them to it or letting them click on it within your profile.
How many games will you be able to record and save? Right now we are planning on unlimited. You won’t need to download anything or configure something special. You will simply be able to save your game after you are done and everything is stored in the database automatically.
We have to make absolutely sure that this feature works before we release it. So we are looking at 1 day.. maybe 2.. maybe 3 at most until we are able to wrap it up. It all depends on how the bug hunting goes between Xelius, myself and the rest of team (including subscribers).
Cheers,
Synthlight
Shop Much? We Just Made Your Life Easier
Today we released a fix for the shop within FFR that allows you to properly scroll through the songs and obtain any song you would like in whatever order pleases you. Just clear cache / refresh, load the game and then click on the “shop” button.
I know this fix has been a long time in the works but we have many projects and deals we are working on. Xelius was the guy who was able to pull this one off effectively. He always comes to the rescue when I get sucked away by business. Big thanks go out to him and his abilities.
Xelius also has altered our multiplayer backend to makes some speed improvements and gave it a bit of a tune up. His custom extensions continue to improve our lives here.
We are also working on profiles and the forum today (as we were yesterday). New features expected in both.
Cheers,
Synthlight, Xelius and many many others
Forums Being Upgraded

FFR Meets almost FFR Hair
JasonKey was strolling through the profiles late Friday night (ok, early Saturday morning) and wandered upon this fine example of DJ Swabber’s FFR Hair + FFR Shirt. Ok ok, You can argue that a majority is purple but you must award bonus points for the attempt at FFR blue. That is dedication if I have ever seen it.
It makes me wonder what would happen if we sent her a custom neon green or orange FFR shirt.
Big thanks goes out to DJ_Swabber for posting this image up in her profile.
If you think you have some front page worthy photos, use the contact us link at the bottom of the page to let us know. There is nothing quite as fun as showing off in front of 100,000+ people per day.
Synthlight, JasonKey and the madness of FFR
Buy DM Ashura’s CD!
Straight to the point… buy DM Ashura’s CD! You all love his remixes and original works in FFR, so show him some love and support by picking up a copy of his new CD, Digital Maestro. You can buy it from mydjsobad.com. It’s almost all original content, with a few favorites from O2Jam and Ultramix4 on it. Personally, I own 12 copies.
Again. BUY CD!

New Multiplayer mods, what?!
Yes. It’s true. Throughout the last few days Windscarredfaith, Tass, Rebirth, Kit- and I have all been monitoring people in MP, and keeping members in mind that would suit the two new MP positions that are now available. After some harsh deciding, we all have come do a unanimous decision on both.
The first Mod that we chose is no one else but the infamous Darkshark. Darkshark has been with the community for awhile now, and we think he suits the position perfectly, despite his gender confusion issues.
Our second new MP Mod is Kat-. Not to be confused with Windscarredfaith (whose name is Kat) or Kit-, Kat- has also been with the community for a long time and is often found chatting it up in multiplayer.
I would like you guys to congratulate them, and treat them with plenty of respect. Great job!
Toodles,
Scottish.
Not to sneak in on Scott’s parade, but I’d also like to congratulate Scottish on being added as an MP Admin for his behind the scenes work in MP modding. And as a reminder, if you see anyone in MP doing something they shouldn’t be doing, please contact one of us via IM, PM, or a message on our profiles. IM is definitely the fastest way though. Just because one of us is not in MP 24/7 does not mean that we aren’t around and can’t take care of a spammer or two.
