Turbo Tappin’ Christmas 2015: Sophie Krustofski

Posted on December 28, 2015 by | 6 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Christmas Event hit our devices recently and a fun event rolled out with it.  Like all events, it’s not without it’s share of premium content and characters.  Of course those premium characters wouldn’t be complete without a questline!

Sophie Krustofski is a premium character that you could pick up during Act 2 of Christmas.  She comes with a fun 5 part questline, that I honestly would hold off on doing until the Event is over (since her tasks will earn you event currency, but the questline will not)…

Let’s take a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of Sophie Krustofski’s questline….

Posted on December 28, 2015 by | 20 comments

Just hear those sleigh bells ring-a-ling, jing jing jing-a-ling too… Yes Addicts it’s lovely weather for an origin together with you!

In our silly lil game, we sometimes see things pop in that we have no clue as to their Origin. They seem familiar, but we just can’t pinpoint from where. So that is why we decided to make a fun lil reminder out of it. To let you know just Where Did THAT Come From?

Posted on December 27, 2015 by | 346 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

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 Open Thread.  No new episode of the Simpsons tonight, but Christmas Act 2 is in full swing..and MAGGIE arrived in our games this week!   Thoughts on it all?
Christmas just happened!  Did you enjoy your day?  What did you do?  How was your weekend? Do anything fun and exciting?  Gearing up for the New Year celebration?  How will you be celebrating it?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, 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!

Episode Recap: Paths of Glory

Posted on December 26, 2015 by | 5 comments

Wookiee note: As often happens we write things, put them in drafts and then more goodness drops delaying posts.  I’m a big proponent of “better late than never” and I hope you are too.  I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas or whichever holiday you choose to celebrate.  My buddies at work had a fun time gathering on the 23rd and airing their “grievances”.  This is just a note to let you know that the episode after this (“Barthood”) will be up somewhere in the future but we have time since there’s no new episodes until January 3rd.  Enjoy this one and Happy Holidays to you and yours and much love from me and mine.

Hey hey friends! Wookiee back and at my usual antics post school craziness and here with another episode recap for my favorite Addicts.  Of course, that means it’s time to take a break from building my giant snowman and slurping hot squishee to catch up on the latest episodes. Thankfully we’ve done pretty well this season and aren’t too far behind. One of the features we like to have on this site is recaps of new Simpsons episodes for all our friends who can’t watch them immediately or like our silly reviews of them. I love when there are new episodes of the Best. Show. Ever. on TV.  It’s my privilege to not only watch new episodes, which I would do with or without this awesome site, but then break them down for all of you. I stuck to the stream of consciousness format which most of you should be familiar with by now. Without further ado… here’s my thoughts on Season 27, Episode 8: “Paths of Glory”.

Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 25, 2015 by | 98 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s Christmas!  It’s Christmas! Santa’s here!!! Woo-hoo!!!

You may notice things a little quiet around here today (you can always find the latest on the Christmas Update here), as the Addicts celebrate Christmas by tearing open packages, over indulging on Christmas cookies…oh and I guess spending time with our families too! 😉

Short Story Long… We are pre-occupied today and hope YOU are too. I think all of us need a day to step away and just relax, unwind, and enjoy those around us. So you won’t see much going on here. Your comments will sit in moderation. Pretty much it is going to be a quiet day on the Addicts sites while we….BRACE YOURSELVES…take a day off. SHOCKING I KNOW!!!

No worries, we promise all won’t be lost in a day. We always have our eyes and ears open. Even if you do not see or hear from us, does not mean we aren’t watching out for you. We will return after the holiday with any changes and more info about the Christmas Event.  So for today….ENJOY THE SILENCE!

Well that’s it from us.  But we want to take a moment to wish you and your families a VERY Merry Christmas!  Have a great day everyone and be safe!

Merry Christmas from the Addicts

Now feel free to share your own thoughts and memories in the comments below. You know we LOVE to hear from you and it will be something great to come back to after the Holiday. So feel free to comment away. 😉

P.S. If you want to see how Riley (aka the Tiny Addict) spent Christmas Eve and today..check out instagram. 🙂

Not a creature was stirring…

Not even a…

Posted on December 24, 2015 by | 234 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Here we are…Christmas Eve! Santa’s coming…tonight!  Woohoo!

Santa

I know many of you will be spending today with your families or doing last minute shopping…so I thought it’d be a perfect time for an unexpected Christmas Eve Open Thread!

Chat about the event, Maggie joining our games, your Christmas plans…or anything else you can think of!  Just no Add me requests…those should go here. And as always just keep it PG.

Merry Christmas Eve!

P.S.  I’ll be spending the day with my in-laws out of state, so I’ll try to moderate when I can…my apologies for any delays.

P.P.S. If you need help with Act 2 of the event, most of the info can be found on our Christmas 2015 Page.  So check that out to see if your question has already been answered 🙂

Posted on December 23, 2015 by | 113 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

MAGGIE is FINALLY here!!! EA gave us a little early Christmas present…Maggie Simpson!  However, you won’t get her until you finish the upgrade on the Moonshine Shack and complete the Oh Come All Ye Vengeful questline.  So it will give you something to look forward too, and incentive to keep on tapping!

Of course in order to get Maggie EA’s rolled out a questline to go with it.  So let’s take a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of Maggie’s initial questline….
