Tap Tap Thanksgiving Presents: Hyper Crush by Ed

November 26th, 2009

The Band: HYPER CRUSH

Hyper Crush

The Track: KEEP UP, their latest single.

The Holiday: Thanksgiving

Here in the good-old U.S. of A., today we celebrate “Thanksgiving.” At Tapulous, we consider ourselves a family, and are gathering for our annual traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll converge on the wood-paneled Tapulous Dining Room, with Bart at the head of a table piled high with turkey, tofurkey, and turducken, and give thanks. We have so much to be thankful for this year:

- You, the amazing Tap Tap Revenge players and fans, for supporting us.
- Our incredible Tapulous staff, for the hard work and dedication.
- The electrons flowing through all those iPhones and iPod touches, for giving power to Tap Tap Revenge.

But like 90% of all families, we are basically dysfunctional, and dinner inevitably erupts into our “Annual Thanksgiving Fight.” But instead of cold silence punctuated with cutting remarks, we settle our differences the way the original Pilgrims did: A DANCE OFF!

This week’s featured artist, Hyper Crush, will be the soundtrack, and let’s all give thanks for Electronic Dance Music. Is there a better way to lift your spirits, reclaim the joy of the season, and get an angry grandma up grooving on the table, than a fresh track from Hyper Crush? Straight out of L.A., Hyper Crush are blowing up right now, knocking down clubs with their dancefloor bangers, and opening for Lady Gaga on tour in Europe. Combine “Keep Up” with a boat of gravy and a pound of stuffing, and you have the recipe for a freaky dance situation.

THE THANKSGROOVING CONTEST

Thursday is Turkey Day. Friday is Shopping Day. Our featured track is a fresh Hyper Crush track. So naturally, this week’s contest is going to be…

THANKSGROOVING: THE GORGE AND SPLURGE CONTEST!

First, you Gorge: Once you’re fat and full with dinner on Thursday, play the person on the couch next to you head-to-head on this week’s featured track. Each two-player game played gets you 1 entry into the contest. Thursday only.

Next, you Splurge: On Friday, a.k.a. “Black Friday,” every 5000 coins spent in the Avatar Store gets you 1 entry in the contest. See below for this week’s special Avatar Store items. Stop sitting on those coins, and just spend, baby! Friday only.

Do those two things enough times, and yours will be the name we draw randomly out of the Tap Hat. Win the contest, and you will get one of our most unique prizes yet:

A pair of super-rad, ultra-cool CUSTOM SNEAKERS! Plus, five runners-up will receive a copy of the brand-new Hyper Crush album! To be a winner, do your patriotic duty: Eat and Shop.

    Track: I like it.
    Theme: I like it. Ooh, pretty colored tappers.
    Taps: I like it.
    Desync Bug: no sir, I don’t like it.
    Contest: looks like you’re trying to make it fair for everyone affected by desync. Ooh, custom sneakers! Those would feel great on my clown feet!

    @Xanadeath, Xanadeath, and Xanadeath: Be patient, Riddim Ribbon is coming soon enough!

  2. But that’s not soon enough!

  3. Is there a maximum of entrys?

  4. Can we have an official worker from Tapulous tell us when Riddim Ribbon’s arrival will officially come? I’m tired of random people telling us to be patient who don’t know a damn thing about their plans. I’m sorry for the profanity but Tapulous should be taking care of this appropriately. Either that or people who don’t know just shut up.

  5. Great song. Just love it. For the contest, kinda hard to do on Thursday when you live alone and not going anywhere for Thanksgiving! You’re basically by yourself. Now that’s not fair, unless of course I play myself. One of us I going to lose big-time. lol

    As far as spending my coins, I have no problem with shopping. It’s a girl’s favorite thing to do.

    So when are you at Tapulous gonna have a contest for the older crowd, like those of us who are considered by these young whipper snappers as either ancient or over-the-hill or just plain “old”?

  6. hey, how do i connect my tap tap revenge 3 to my facebook? i got the new version and there’s no link like in the tap tap revenge 2 and everytime i play and check my score it doesn’t ask the facebook connect. =(

    Awesome track, awesome theme, awesome TT Thursday

  8. I want RIDDIM RIBBON NOWWWW

  9. Pretty theme, and track’s great. Any chance we’ll see Sololuna in Tap Tap Revenge 3???

  10. That “Xanadeath” up there is not Xanadeath! Ed please take a look at GS….. At my most recent topic….. What the fuck is this! Whoever you are you fucking poser you need to get the fuck out! You got my name in the fucking reporter. You’re a n00b….. Get a life….. Riddim Ribbon isn’t that great……. Stfu and gtfo!

    Xanadeath

  11. Sorry for my immaturity. I am the REAL Xanadeath, but I am an attention seeker with ADHD, thus I like to say I am not who I really am just for attention. Ed, pay no attention to what I said before. Sorry, for my profanity, but I am yet to learn how to properly express myself, because my hometown has no education system to teach me phonics, syntax and semantics.

  12. I am really Sorry Ed.

    Xanadeath.

  13. Wow….. Even faking my signature now…… I hope people know it’s me….. Ed is there a way we can cross reference our ip addresses and ban the fake one for good?……

    Xanadeath

  14. And I don’t put a period after my signature you asshole!

    Xanadeath

  15. @Xanadeath Dude you’re weird

  16. I can be. I like to cuss people and swear. I am an attention seeker. hehe.

    Xanadeath

  17. Where is Riddim Ribbon, Ed? The tap tap reporter said soon, but when?
    Sorry for my outbursts, which say I am not who I am. I obviously am Xanadeath, haha. I am an attention seeker and like to manipulate people, for example that Ed can cross reference IP addresses. I think I need counselling.

    Xanadeath

  18. @MsQueen lol I’m weird? Imagine if some freak was using your name to comment on blog posts…… It’s sooooo annoying…… This dude even made a GS account name annoyed @ Xanadeath. I’m being impersonated…… And he even got my name in the reporter….. WTF….. Hopefully it’ll get solved soon……. *sigh* ……..

    Xanadeath

  19. Stop polluting the posts you tool! Someone who was annoyed with you did it. god you are a dumb ass

    @thebitingcat
    you hack so I would shut up right now and stop playing ttr3 since you have no life but to hack. If anyone wants to see this idiot hack… Go look at the louder than boom high scores on extreme… You’ll see this retard sitting on the top with a score he doesn’t deserve to get… I’m reporting you man… Hope you get your device banned

    @idiosyncracies: you’re absolutely right about Louder Than Boom. That score is hacked, in the new version which was supposed to eliminate that from happening. And about two minutes after I did it I sent an email to Ed denoting exactly how it was done, so it could be patched. Hopefully it gets fixed with the next release so I can recap the toplists with legitimate scores, without newbs questioning them.

    Aloso, that desyncing thing…patch that too.

  22. I would love to know why I’m unable to download any of the purchasable track packs. I click “Purchase this Track Pack” and the loading bar comes up and it just sits there and does nothing. It’s really starting to tick me off because there are some great songs on TTR3 that’d I love to be able to play

  23. @ RukiaTH

    that was happing to me also. This Is what I did, I went to “options” and clicked on “restore purchased tracks” and they started to download.

    @ Ed

    The reporter said big sale on friday in the avatar store but yet nothing is on sale also where are the “48 hours” items?

  24. Sheesh Kapeesh guys!!! >:O

  25. IMPOSTER BILLYMAN NOW!!! WTF IS GOING ON!!! >:O

  26. I’m no imposter, I like pumpkin pie ;)

  27. GET THE F*CK OUT!!!

    SERIOSULY WTF IS GOING ON!!

  28. *Seriously

  29. GAAAAGHH >:’O

    gtfo

  30. thnx for sticking around for the comedy sketch guys :) you can buy our dvd in the lobby. Remember, we do Birthdays and Wedding!! Call us 2 days before gig though …

    xD

  31. lol @Billyman…. this is the real Xanadeath here……. How does it feel…. lol….. wow…… imposter needs to gtfo……

    Xanadeath

  32. How about you don’t say anything and he’ll stop?

  33. As mostDGK said, where’s the Black Friday avatar items special?
    I’m really looking forward to it :D

  34. Where the hell is the black Friday sale?!?!? I’m very frustrated

  35. I am the REAL Xanadeath, the other guy is a fake. I am obviously a bit too cool for school, which is why he is posing as me. It makes me feel special.

    Xanadeath

  36. This is completely ridiculous. I’m not going to explode anymore or anything, but how on earth is this allowed to happen….. it’s a freaking joke….. On the other hand I have no idea why, out of tons of other people like Krohn and DX, someone would choose to impersonate me. It actually makes me feel a bit more important than I actually am :p….. not that i’m not really important or anything ;) .

    To the one impersonating me: At this point everyone knows who’s who…. I on’t know why you continue to do this….. lol….. even going as far as making a GS account….. you sound like such a n00b…. :p ….

    I love how all the name on all my posts is underlined…… yup…. it’s me….. :p …….

    Merry Black Friday everyone!

    Where are those avatar item deals…. and the drum set…. hmmmm…. hopefully tomorrow… aw well…..

    Xanadeath

  37. The fake Xanadeath hacked my account, so my name is not underlined. Faker why don’t you go impersonate someone else?

  38. @ mostDGK

    Maybe I shouldn’t say loading bar, when I click “Purchase this Track Pack” and bar with a spinning circle comes up and then it doesn’t do anything. I say something on the Get Satisfaction page that said that you have to pay for track packs using a credit card and can’t get them through iTunes credit/gift cards, which is serious F”ed up if that’s true.

    @thebitingcat you are an asshole… I am now third for louder than boom. If they reset the leaderbaords again…

    All go to fuck please. Xanadeath go and cut a dick

  41. Wat happened to the drum set?! I was gonna buy it

  42. @Xanadeath

    The one without the name underlined is real. The other is imposter.

    @Krohn7master

    Completely inopropriate! If you work at Tapulous then you should try and uphold the blog and not spam it yourself with profanites!

    @Tapulous

    Great Track! BTW where is the drum set it’s black Friday?

  43. @Trekluver Actually, the one with the underline is the real one……. but i’m done with all this bs….. I just don’t get why someone would even want to fake being me…. i’ll tell yah what….. I’m going to update my twitter (twitter.com/xanadeath) saying that i’m the real Xanadeath….

    This is ridiculous…. lol…….

    Peace out….

    Xanadeath

  44. In ttr3 when I purchase a song it says use credit does this mean I use my coins to pay?

  45. I am a tool because I like saying I am not who… I am…

    Xanadeath

  46. @ Timsim
    Nope, that means that you still have a credit from buying or reviewing TTR3 and sending a screenshot of that a few weeks ago. With the credit you can choose one 2-track bundle and get it for free. So take your favorite bundle and tap “Use store credit” and it’s yours!

  47. Wait a minute, where the heck is the drum kit??!
    It’s already one day late now…

    @JoniTap

    Well I used the credit option. It did not work I then bought the item. It did not download. I used the download again option. It did not work…..
    now what

  49. @ Timsim
    Well, I guess that’s a problem for downloading tracks generally and has nothing to do with the credit. Something similar was discussed a few comments above. Try to use “Restore purchased tracks” in options or try to purchase the track pack again – you won’t have to pay twice. Anyway, getting track packs always worked totally fine for me, with and without credit (I also had one).

  50. I bought the drum set but why is it behind my avatar? Please fix

    November 28th, 2009

  52. Is the drum set messed up? I have the coins to buy it but it keeps saying I can’t buy it because I don’t have the coins to buy it
    FIX THIS PLEASE i want to buy it badly.

    November 28th, 2009

    @Alex

    some things to say
    1.) seriousy, stop with the ‘imposter’ thing. its making me annoyed
    2.) GR8 TRACK! LUV IT! definitely one of my favs
    3.) whats desyncing? sum1 pls explain to me?

  56. @ Ed

    I hope your reading this. What the fuck, man. I had the coins to buy the drum set but it wasn’t letting me. Now the drum set is 99,999 coins. Can you give me the drum set for it’s sale price?

  57. @mostDGK The drum set was originally listed at the wrong price….. actually…. it was showing the wrong price…. I had 360,000 coins at the time I purchased it, and it took away 99,999, so you didn’t miss out on any sale. It wasn’t letting you because you didn’t have enough coins… sorry dude……

    Figured the impostor thing out. If the username has a line under it, then it’s the real thing. Whenever it doesn’t, then the poster is not the real person.

  59. @ xanadeath

    the drum set was 50% off ($55,900) the 1st day it came out. Try reading the tap reporter again (not trying to be mean).

    @ Ed

    thanks man, your the best

  60. @ mostDGK From the reporter:

    - New Avatar Items – On Friday, we’re releasing several hot new clothing items for males and females. And this weekend only, they’ll be 1/2 off the normal price! Don’t be a turkey, and get them before Monday, when the prices goes up.

    - 48-Hour Only Item: A Drum Set! We’re offering this drum kit for 48 hours only, and then it’s gone forever.

    That says “clothing items” …… meaning clothes…. not drum sets…. the drum set, to my knowledge, was not supposed to go on sale. I bought it when it was showing at a price of 55,900 and I was charged 99,999 and the price was later corrected to show as 99,999.

    Also….. why you thanking Ed……..? …….
