Hey y’all!  How you be doing round abouts that der game which be going all tappity tap.  Y’all ready fer anuther posty dealy about dem yellar people?

Cletus TSTO

Wow… who knew it’d be hard to write all white trashy mctrasherson?  I guess I can thank my mom for all my edumacashun.  It’s more than a love of The Simpsons which has helped me be so S-M-R-T.  So… Alissa and Bunny have been so entertaining with their lady character posts every Sunday (Real Housewives of Springfield) and I’ve been slacking.  To remedy this, I thought I’d talk about good ol’ Cletus Delroy Spuckler aka Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel.  Click continue reading to get started and see an image of Cletus mooning you.

Hey Addicts, 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!
(This week’s Caption This image was submitted by Addicts reader Quark007…also his Origin ID hint hint)

Sunday Night Open Thread

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

How are my favorite Addicted Tappers this evening?  Did y’all have a nice weekend?  Do anything exciting?  Buy anything new?

Anyway enough rambling from me….it IS Sunday and you know what that means, right?  No, not a day of rest…at least not in MY house!  Nope nope it’s time for another Sunday Night Open Thread!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So…here is your Sunday Night Open Thread.  The Olympics have come to a close today.  Did your country do as expected?  Are you excited for the 2016 Summer games in Brazil?  The Valentine’s Day Event in TSTO is scheduled to end on Tuesday (the 25th), did you collect all of the items you wanted from the wheel?  Did you earn the Tunnel of Love?  Do YOU think there will be a new Level Update this week?  What characters would you like to see accompany Level 39?  And during last week’s Open Thread frequent Addicted Tapper around the comments Leifye shared this awesome Simpsons Writer’s Reunion Video with us:


Check it out if you’re looking for something awesome to watch tonight while waiting for new episodes of The Simpsons to come back!

So chat about the Olympics, TSTO, the Writers Reunion or anything else you can think of!  Can’t wait to chat with you all!  You know we  LOVE hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

The Real Housewives Of Springfield: Sarah Wiggum

Welcome Addicts to a new addition to our posts. In this little game of ours, we tend to forget those characters that are few and far between. We get so involved in the game, so into the latest events…that we sometimes forget to pay attention to the little things. The little details that make the Springfield world go around. The thing that seems to be really lacking/missing from Springfield.

What exactly is it I am going on about? What is so terribly important to the game that would draw such attention. WOMEN OF COURSE! To be a bit more specific, The Real Housewives of Springfield (and maybe a mistress or 3. Gotta have the drama aspect in any series, right?).

So keep your eyes on our blog as we take you on a new journey into the lives of each of the women currently and NOT currently available in the game.

Springfield Showoff: Ideas That Take Flight

As we sit here frakkin files, pulling pics, and typing a million words a minute to get our readers the latest updates and information…we find ourselves sometimes forgetting to stop and enjoy our own games. More so our neighboreenos. So we try to make it a point to hop in n out of the towns now and then to see what cool things YOU are up to.

So we have decided we want to continue to focus more attention (as if we don’t already 😛 ) on YOU…our readers. Time to time we will be peaking into your towns, checking our Flickr, and also the posts in the comments below to see what cool ideas and designs YOU have come up with to make your towns unique and…well…YOU.

So here is YOUR chance to show off all your hard work, time, donuts & in game cash spent. Send us your work, no matter how big or small. Brag about it to the world. We want you to. (That and Bunny loves to see other designs and get inspiration from it.) Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.

Addicts Reader Hit & Miss: Premium Characters

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers,

A few weeks ago we asked you all to participate in a detailed reader survey, where we wanted to know everything about YOU.   Then last week we revealed the results during our blogiversary week.  However, while we revealed almost all of the results we did not share the complete results of YOUR favorite Premium purchases.  Instead we only shared the best and worst in the different categories.  So we thought it would be fun to share the full results in each category because who better then to help you make a decision about what to spend donuts on, then your fellow tappers?

A few days ago we broke down YOUR picks for best and worst Premium/Character combos, let’s pick things back up with YOUR picks for best and worst stand-alone Characters…

TSTO Anonymous – Just who ARE you?

How does the Addicterino choose their way to tap
When thoughts of TSTO happen as tablets they do slap
They comment on a blog sometimes, some grumble, some exclaim,
What character? what traits? what names would describe their game play?

Well hello there Addicterinos!  How the heck are you on this foine Friday?  So, once again it has been a while since we had a meeting of TSTO Anonymous and right about now it’s about that time.  Valentine’s Day in real life is over (hopefully it was good for all) and the VD event is nearing what a lot of us hope is its completion (but not before every addict gets the Tunnel).

Turbo Tapppin’ Level 25: Smithers

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers,

Back with another blast from the past Turbo Tappin’ TSTO walkthrough.  This time we’re Turbo Tappin’ Level 25 and Smithers!

For those of you who don’t know Turbo Tappin’ is our quick version of a walkthrough for the Level/Update/Character where we give you who starts the quest, the task and what you earn.  This way you have your quick guide on who to keep free and when.  This is great for our fellow Addicts who love to copy and paste the walkthrough into their device for quick reference.  You can check out more of our Turbo Tappin’ Walkthroughs here.

So let’s get this going in Level 25 shall we?  You’ll need to have Mr. Burns free, as he kicks off Level 25…

You Decide: Comment Avatars

Update: By a LANDSLIDE….Retro wins!  Looks like we’re going old skool people! 🙂
Now I feel like we’re in an Atari game of Space Invaders. 😉

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

How’s your Thursday going so far?  Ready for the weekend?  I know I am!  Anywho…we’ve been going through the feedback you guys left us on our Blogiversary poll  and slowly but surely implementing a lot of changes you’ve asked for.  You ask, we deliever!  TSTO Addicts is YOUR site & we want to make it feel as much like home for you guys as we possibly can.

So all of that being said…we wanted to get a little more feedback from YOU guys about this next change that was requested.  A few of you told us that if you could change anything about TSTOAddicts it would be the little icons (Avatar) when you comment.  Clearly some of you are not a fan of the monsters!  So we’re happy to make the change, but what should we change it to?  Currently Word Press offers 5 different options, in addition to making your own, for your Avatar these options are:
comment iconsWith MonsterID being the one we currently use.  

Instead of us deciding what to change it to, we’re going to leave it up to YOU!  That’s right you guys vote for whichever Avatar you want to represent you here on TSTO Addicts (and again, you can always set your own…which we always encourage you to do.  Helps us get to know your personality a little better 🙂 ).  So vote for your favorite and the winning icon will be implemented 🙂

What do YOU think of the icons?  Which one is your favorite?  Will you be setting your own Avatar from now on?  Sound off in the comments below.  You know we LOVE hearing from you! 🙂
