Better Late Than Never, Right? #66 and #67, plus SotW’s
Real quick, as I’m tired and want to go to bed… these were all added hours and hours ago, if you checked the Skill Token page.
Cold Breath is a Shiki song, well known in the SM circles. Steps are by Rebirth and are full of 200bpm 8th jacks. 77 4-framers, mostly clumped together. Fun song though and quality steps. Low to mid 10 footer. Easy req, comparatively. Get 600+ combo on Mercury Lamp (Dance2) with 3 or less misses and 3 or less boos (yes, you must pass).
FFR Embeddable Widget hits Facebook
Fast update to the FFR Widget, user MalDON has helped us out by building a solid FFR based application up on Facebook. You can embed the FFR Widget Application by simply installing it and it will show up on your profile.
Hopefully we will see a build of SpinItUP! up there soon too, if things go well. Give us your feedback and look forward to some additional features made available as well with the widgets overall. Make sure to give MalDON props for his hard work!
Chips,
#64 and #65 – Stunt Flying & Prelude to Rites
Stunt Flying (Sanxion7 Mix) is a remix of a song that is apparently by a Dr. Flowershirts, but I can’t find any information about the original besides via Saxxonpike’s site. Cool song, overall. Many of you may know it from StepMania. File is by Silver_Brian. I rated it an 8 for its streams at 142bpm, but I’m thinking it might be a 7. To unlock, play another Saxxonpike song, Palindrome, and Full Combo it.
FFR Embeddable Version 1
I will make this quick and easy for everyone. Yesterday we announced the SpinItUP!2 Embeddable Widget. Everyone loved it but everyone kept asking “Where is the FFR Embeddable Widget?”.
Well I am glad to say that the FFR Embeddable Widget is also ready to deploy. The base version has 7 common and recognizable songs from FFR. In the near future we will also allow you to pick the song or songs that you want to display in the embeddable version. This will be a product that we continue to expand continously. You can find the embedded player code for myspace, facebook and your personal pages by visiting the FFR Embeddable Widget Page. Enjoy! More to be released very soon with this player!
We will also be promoting another new band for FFR embeddable version tomorrow night! Don’t miss it!
Enjoy,
-Tass and that Synthlight guy.
Sail AwaY To A Chinaman – #62 and #63
Chinaman is another completely unique song by Torley Wong, in a way that only Torley can do songwriting. Stepfile is by our resident unique music guy, pokelda. I rated it a 7 for its 1 unique roll section that is a bit difficult, probably a 6 for the rest of the file. Almost 3 minutes long too. Fairly easy req too, just get a 700+ combo on the song Prototypical, found in Misc.
Sail AwaY is an interesting story, as are so many of our simfiles. First, it’s by resident in-house musician Draigun. You can listen to his music here. What makes this interesting is that we’ve received more submissions on this song than any other. By a large margin. In one testing batch we had SEVEN submissions for this song… not to mention a few submissions for it in other batches. Basically, this means you will not find a better stepfile for this song, period. We’ve been through about 10 of them total, and this one rose to the top. It’s by hi19hi19 and it beat out files by Rebirth0, jimerax, macgravel, and more. To unlock this song, you need Full Combos on 3 fairly similar 8th note stream songs from 3+ years ago. FC Secret Zombie Room (Secret), Massive (Dance1), and Breaking the Common (Dance1) in a row to unlock Sail AwaY.
Enjoy,
-Tass and that Synthlight guy.
Another Night, Another Feature. SpinItUP!2 Embeddable Player Release
We have been getting fantastic responses and feedback from everyone regarding the new SpinItUP!2 release with realtime multiplayer . Xelius has been working double duty to keep up with the current projects I have him working on while somehow handling requests and suggestions from everyone. The public beta release has been a huge success with very few bugs. If you have not already given it a spun (hey, no pun intended.. I swear) then go ahead and play it by CLICKING HERE.
As if that wasn’t enough, we have crafted a special version that you can use to embed SIU and any level of your choice on an page outside of FFR. You simply select your preferred dimension, select a level and the embed code is created automatically for you. All you have to do after that is paste the code on your myspace, facebook or homepage elsewhere. We will routinely update this embedded player automatically and you will instantly see the upgrades on the embedded pages. Some of our first features will be a play counter for your embedded SIU!2 compared to other sites among other stats comparing your embedded song to others. You can thank Jasonkey for this one. He crafted this page today for your gaming pleasure. You can find the embedded player code by CLICKING HERE
One last thing I would like to mention is that if you are a band or artist and you are interested in being promoted via custom graphics and levels with this embedded player, we are willing to entertain your requests if the right conditions exist. For more details please send any URL’s and other data or bio about your band/group/artist info to our ffrcontact email address available at the bottom of this page.
Cheers,
Synthlight, Light, Synth and Cheers
Mou Uta Incognito v2! – #60 and #61
Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai is a Progressive Rock song by dBu (I believe it is from a Touhou game, but not 100% sure). Check out dBu here. Stepfile is by Kotarouchan, his first. File is a low 10, with mid 160s bpm trills and jumpbursts for almost 3 minutes. Unlock is a hard one, as we’re getting pretty close to the end of the chain now. Full Combo PLANETZ to unlock Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai.

SpinItUP!2 4 U 2 Spin It UP! Open Beta
So we took a week and implemented a bunch of subscriber ideas into SpinItUP!2. Xelius (being the amazing guy he is) found and fixed a bunch of bugs in the beta. We now think the current release of SpinItUP!2 is stable enough for public testing. It’s close but not 100% perfect. That is why we call it open beta right?
Go check out multiplayer. 
Click Here to Play Multiplayer SpinItUP!2
Enjoy. Btw, we have officially replaced the old previous beta link on the naviation with this new version.
Cheers,

TAKE ME DOWN TO SYNTHLIGHT CITY, WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY!
I’d just like to bring this fun little community builder to everyone’s attention. The website Miniville allows communities to build their own city. Chromer created Synthlight City. By clicking on that link, you’ll add +1 to the city’s population, making the overall landscape of our land grow bigger. BUT! Having the biggest population isn’t the only factor. We also have to have people who increase our transit, industry, environment, security, and commerce. If you want to contribute to more than just the population of Synthlight city, you can check out this thread for all the details (and translations to English, as the site is all in French). You can click on 1 link per IP every day, with it re-setting at midnight French time (6pm EST). We have a population of over 1500 currently – 10th in the region, with perfect stats all round. Check out our skyscrapers!
Have fun, and lets build us bigger!
-Tass
EDIT – changed the link for Synthlight City to a script made by Alainbryden that will optimize everyone’s clicks. That way we can fix our now poor unemployment, pollution, crime, and lack of transportation. It will re-direct you to the correct link.
