Posted on September 21, 2016 by Alissa | 24 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just popping in with a reminder about the Addicts Shirts! I promise I won’t annoy you with constant reminders on this, BUT these are LIMITED TIME and there’s only FIVE DAYS left to get yours!

So many of you have stepped up and purchased yours, which is awesome! But I know the post has long since been buried by loads of Sci-Fi related posts…so I wanted to post another reminder just in case some of you missed it!

Remember this are unique to us and every shirt sold directly benefits this site. So now you can support for your favorite site AND look stylin’ while doing it!

We’ve got a few styles to choose from….

American Apparel (Crew Neck) Tee in Black

Or Blue

American Apparel Fitted Women’s Fitted Tee in Black

Or Blue

These babies are Limited Edition and only available for purchase for the next FIVE Days!! So you’ll want to pick one of these up before they’re gone!

Go here to get the shirts, and again remember they’re Limited Edition so grab yours before they’re gone (they’ll be gone on September 26th)!

Thanks guys! 🙂

Turbo Tappin’ Season 28 Premiere: Main Questline and Prizes Part 1

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Alissa | 66 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Ah the first day of Autumn…leaves are falling, that crispness in the air has arrived and there’s a brand new season of TV on! Ok so it’s only the first day of fall, and it still feels completely like summer (at least here in New Jersey) BUT…the last part is true. There’s a whole new season of TV shows…and the Simpsons Season 28 starts this Sunday! To celebrate the Season Premiere EA has launched a fun Episode Tie-In Mini Event in our games..something to gear us up for Sunday.

Of course, as with all events, a questline comes with it to help move us through the ins and outs of the event…and unlock all of the prizes. As was mentioned on the rundown post this mini event is similar to the previous mini-events (like Homer’s Chiliad and the Fire Department before it), in that you’ve got to complete various tasks to unlock the prizes.

So let’s take a look at the questline to see just how to unlock all the fun Premiere Episode inspired prizes…

In-Game Update: Season 28 Premiere Tie-In…Rundown and Details

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Alissa | 130 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

I’ve said it many times…and I’ll say it again..I swear EA has cameras on me. They wait until I leave my office and then release an update. Special thanks to Patric for being on top of this one for me! And for covering for me yesterday as well! Super grateful to have him as part of the Addicts team 🙂

Anywho as many of us predicted an Episode Tie-In has hit our games today to promote this Sunday’s Season 28 Premiere! For those who joined TSTO over the Summer and this is your first time seeing an Episode Tie-In…these are fun little updates that give us a little teaser of what’s to come in this week’s episode of The Simpsons. And usually the items released are related to the new episode. So it’s a fun way to get excited about that week’s episode. They don’t always happen..so it’s always exciting when they do 🙂

Now onto this tie-in…

This one is a bit different from previous ones. In that it’s setup more like a mini event..where you check back after the Season Premiere has aired (on Sunday September 25th) to see more stuff that will unlock!

Let’s break it all down…Homer gets things going with a bit of dialogue and a 3hr task…

Oh and the tie in ends October 4th..just under 2 weeks from now. Who else thinks we’ll see Halloween then? 😉

The Art of TSTO: Springfield At Night

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Alissa | 66 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s time for another post in our “Art of TSTO” Series. This time we’re taking a look at night mode.

Ever wonder what our pocket-sized Springfields would look like if TSTO had a night mode? Come on I know you have, who hasn’t?!

Our good friend Toxicshark has once again taken to photoshop to do some amazing, and detailed, work exploring that TSTO would like with night mode. After seeing a few awesome shots from Toxic I knew it was time for another Art of TSTO post.

So I asked Toxic to send me some of his favorites and I’d feature them here at Addicts. And here’s a collection of what he sent…
