Hey there all you silly Addicts.
It is a New Year and everyone is making all these resolutions on what to do to change themselves and make themselves better. Well here at the Addicts, we don’t mind change. We embrace it. So… we decided to make a lil change to… US!!
As we play this silly lil game, we realize that we live in a world of animation and fun. Makes yah feel kinda like YOU wanna join it and get… animated, right? So… why not animate… The Addicts??!! And that is just what we did. We have talked about doing this since the creation of our site, it was about time. Lol. A really cool artist, Milos, took it upon himself to turn each of us Addicts into a Character of our own. Taking into account our loves and passions in life. Even digging deep into our Geekside. Lol.
Without further ado… we give you… THE ADDICTS…
A group of Addicted Players that love to play games and share all their thoughts, ideas, and insights of the games with anyone that is interested in listening to our ramblings. We are more than happy to help out all of our fellow players. (Maybe even be on the lookout to find a few more game Addicts like ourselves in the process to share our addiction to fun with.) We like to do all we can to keep the peace around here and provide a safe place for any players to come by and talk about the game, talk with other players, find information that is not available in the game, but most of all… just have fun. It is a game. Games are meant to bring joy and fun.
Now for a lil peek at each of the Addicts that run this silly lil blog…
Alissa: The youngest of the group, but by no means anyone you can push around. She is very smart, talented, and detail oriented. She is also one of the two Original Creators and Co-Owner of the tstoaddicts.com site. She has a lot of passion and love for the site and has put in a lot of countless time making it the best site she possibly can. Always there to help anyone out with questions on the game.
You can learn more about Alissa here.
Bunny: Oldest of the group, but you would never be able to tell by the way she acts. Young at heart and very playful. Geeky Nerd Girl that loves Sci-Fi and Fantasy. She is more on the creative side of things. She likes to design and play around with decorations in the game, create art out of the most random things, and pass those thought/ideas on to you, but then the Nerd kicks in and the details can overtake her posts. Lol. She is the other Co-Owner of the tstoaddicts.com site. You will find her bouncing around in the comments harassing… errr… helping players as much as she can. Trying to keep the peace as much as possible, but offering sound advice whenever she can.
You can learn more about Bunny here.
Wookiee: Resident Furball. The “Middle Child” of the group. Full of fun and humor. Always out to make people laugh and smile all he can. Tends to let his Geek show too. Also has a very creative side of game play. Just like Bunny, he loves to create 2D & 3D art and share it with readers so they can learn and create on their own. He loves to share his knowledge of all things Simpsons anytime he can. A Giant in life, but a Giant heart that gives to everyone. Always willing to help.

Now, on a side note and to add even MORE fun with the “New Addicts”, we also made some cool Merchandise for upcoming Meet and Greets we have planned (stay tuned for more details). So here is our question to you… would YOU want an option to get this Merchandise at anytime? Like from our site? T-shirts, Hoodies, and more? Would something like that even interest you? (NO, we are not looking to make money off this, just another possible option for those wanting some Addicts items that have requested them in the past.)
There yah go. A NEW version of our inner Characters and Our Addicts Logo. What do you think of them? Thoughts on Merchandise? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you!
Black tshirts with imagery OR text is my prototypical garb preference… Anything overly blatantly “marketing” … I avoid. I prefer just be clever or obscure. Plus sized options are nearly always missing from those implementations though… Zip up hoodies, absolutely… ’60s/70s Hippie clothes? I endorse always. Old hippie parkas,… All the better.
Small merch? Create your own … Yes! Especially things y’all find fun and funny even if we don’t!
Frame-worthy images/pictures… Yes!
Toys and keepsake key chains… Yes!
Portable “sent on assignments for X time” notifier … Yes!
Game/character referenceable kinnigits… Absolutely!!
Anti-motivational style anything… Cmon…done.
Servers down anti-panic devices… A must.
Any way plausible to be able to get the infrastructure to be able to physically build a “my Springfield” at home would be nerdvana.
Any and all non-infringing on EA/Simpsons/etc items as long as you just don’t disservice yerselves by generating the same ol prototypical items anywhere has… Flashlights, pens, mouse pads, tumblrs, useless to implement stickers, magnets, buttons, etc… But all things laughably geeky are always welcome.
Just be better than cog of generic consumerism! It’s ThinkGeek meets Threadless and XKCD with TSTOADDICTS theology, but with Plaid golf caps, facetiously derisive humor and addiction prevalent undertones… Adult schwag for all us children at heart with a touch of the prebuilt neuroses inherent to why we’re all here together.
Bunny, Alissa, Wookie: You guys rock. Thank you for all you to help us all enjoy this silly little game even more. 🙂
Milo really captured you guys in cartoon form, I love it! If there was a coffee mug I’d be all over that. What better accessory to go with my morning coffee and tap? 🙂
More info on the meet and greet please!
Love the girl on girl action. Let’s have more!!
