Diary of a Wookiee: TSTO Fiction and more… the game crash chapter

Posted on January 22, 2014 by | 13 comments

Springfield Crashtastrophe!  So it’s been just over a week since we got Level 38 and the Wookiee is going a little out of his mind.  Why you ask?  Well, it seems like the EA Gods have decided that the best way to empathize with readers having game issues, is to be just like them.

First and foremost, this is not a rant or me using my blogger privileges to complain.  This whole intro is actually just a segway into some randomness from the resident fuzzball, I promise.  After the download, my game doesn’t like me anymore.  Seems she feels I tapped around way too much and is jealous that I stopped making art for her,  She keeps mentioning another “town” I’ve started drawing in.  Jeesh… some games.  It’s not like I didn’t buy nice things for her and make sure she always had a well organized everything.  My other town is only where I go to pursue my creative exploits.  That girl is honestly a little ugly and if it wasn’t for my 2Ds superglued to her fridge, I’d never even visit.

Hump Day Humor: Caption This!

Posted on January 22, 2014 by | 7 comments

Happy Hump Day Tappers!

We thought we’d bring a little fun to Wednesday with a little Hump Day Humor!  What better way to add fun and humor than a bonus Caption This!  

Everyday you guys (the AMAZING Readers of Addicts) send us tons of screenshots of some of the funniest moments in TSTO!  And every week when I go to pick a Caption This! image for Monday I struggle to only pick 1.  So we thought…”Why only do it once a week?”   And so…Hump Day Caption This! was born.

What is Caption This!?
Sometimes TSTO gives us humorous little moments when we capture our characters doing rather strange things.  These posts are all about those strange and funny moments!

Twice a week we’ll be posting a Caption This! moment where we want you, the Addicts readers, to put on your writing caps and come up with what you think is happening in the screenshot. Post your captions in the comments below. We can’t wait to see how creative and funny you guys can be!

Hey Addicts… Caption This!
(Today’s Caption This image was submitted by Addicts reader TDK_140…also his Origin ID…hint hint)

If you’ve got an image you’d like to submit for a “Caption this!” post, email it to us at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com or post it on the Addicts Flickr page, you never know when yours might be next!
P.S Leave us your Origin ID with the email if you’d like for it to be included with the post.

WDTCF- Green Peace Boat

Posted on January 22, 2014 by | 6 comments

WOOHOO!!! BOATS!! Nothing makes me more happy than to see ships out in the Squidport Harbor. So I am all sorts of giddy to see new boats being released with our Level 38 update.

The Greenpeace boat is a purchasable item for only $1300 in game dollars. You can buy several of them if you are so inclined. It looks really cool.

Where did THAT come from – The Blue Haired Lawyer

Posted on January 21, 2014 by | 6 comments

Blue Haired Lawyer: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Who do you find more attractive, Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson? 
Judge Snyder: What is the point of all this? 
Blue Haired Lawyer: Your Honor, I’m so confident of Marge Simpson’s guilt, that I can waste the court’s time rating the superhunks. 
Lionel Hutz: Ooohh. He’s gonna’ win. 
Marge: Mr. Hutz!

Aaaaaaggggggg!  A lawyer… kill it, kill it!  All of a sudden I’m thinking about Dick the Butcher in Shakespeare’s Henry the Sixth and his famous line: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”.  It’s also mentioned in the Eagles song “Get Over It”.

Wow… rambling and I just started?  I think that’s a new record.  So… this post is about our newest premium character, the Blue Haired Lawyer (BHL).  For 90 donuts, you can add this character to your income earning arsenal.  Not my place to say whether you should buy him, but check out this post by Alissa if you need some help making up your mind.  He has a 10 part quest so that’s nifty.

Troubleshooting 101- Character Issues

Posted on January 21, 2014 by | 37 comments

Bunny here. Putting on my glasses, getting out my pocket protector, and getting my magic fingers and thumbs ready to type those zeroes and ones. Basically…it’s Nerdy Time!!

For whatever various reasons, our game likes to frak with our minds and heads and nothing seems to quite go right. We panic. Throw our device. Scream. Yell. There may be many tears as well.  Just slowly take your thumbs/fingers off the device or you may crack the screen. Lol.  It’s ok. I am here to help. All of us are. Promise.

Should I Spend Donuts on Knightboat?

Posted on January 20, 2014 by | 5 comments

Level 38 is here (woohoo!) and with it comes the KnightBoat, an all new premium decoration for your water.  Now, as with all new premium content you may be asking “Should I Spend Donuts On THIS?”  Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding this criminal chasing boat to your Springfield!
knightboat_menu
Decoration: Knightboat
Donut Price: 40donuts
Unique?: No, you can have as many as you want
Bonus: 2% (bonus cash and XP to all tasks)
Bonus % Per Donut Spent: 0.05%
Conform-o-Meter Points: 400 Vanity
Where Can I Place It?: Water only. 

Final Thought: At 40 donuts and a 2% bonus the Knightboat is one of the best donut to bonus items you can purchase in TSTO.  Plus it’s a BOAT, and gives you something new for your water.
Of course water in TSTO is one of the most expensive tiles of land to purchase, so it’s understandable if you don’t have enough water open to accommodate the Knightboat AND Squidport.  But once some opens up it’s definitely a good investment!

Want a little more information about where the Knightboat came from?  Check out Bunny’s Where did THAT come from post here.

What do you think?  Will you be paying 40 donuts for Knightboat?

Where did THOSE come from – The Lady Justices

Posted on January 20, 2014 by | 18 comments

Wookiee back again, check the blog and wreck it, Addicts let’s begin…

Whoa there…. Whoa there… sorry about that folks.  Sometimes my imagination horse has a mind of its own.  All this legal stuff in TSTO has me checking my rearview mirror way too much and making sure all is in order in my town.  Wouldn’t want Wiggum, Eddie or Lou to be able to catch me on a technicality while I loitered outside Lard Lads, right?

For today’s WDTCF, I thought it’d be cool to dish on not only the NEW Lady Justice Statue we just got but also to include the Little Lady Justice statue from Level 33.  I like to think they’re sisters.
