Springfield Showoff: Las Springfield (Burns Casino Event)

Posted on March 26, 2016 by | 97 comments

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 šŸ˜› ) 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 ourĀ “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.

Posted on March 26, 2016 by | 30 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

March 14th wasĀ Pi Day and here at Addicts we love every excuse for Pie! Ā So we thought it would be fun to have a little Pi Day contest where the winner wins…you guessed it…PIE!

So many of you entered and shared with us your favorite Pie…it made me hungry just reading the submissions! Ā But we could only have 1 Pi Day winner. Ā (well 2…one from the US and one from outside the US) So let’s see who the Randomizer chose….

TSTO Anonymous – March 2016 – Simp-Sin City & Stuff

Posted on March 25, 2016 by | 57 comments

Hey hey hey fellow Addicts. Here we are in the third Act of an event all about gambling in the City of Simp-sin,Vegasfield, insert clever name here, and I have to say Iā€™m loving the event. Slots, craps, pokerā€¦ and the best part is Iā€™m not losing money or killing my liver with free drinks. Good old wholesome fun for the whole family over the age of 21 lol. Of course, gambling isnā€™t always fun and the first thing I thought about was Margeā€™s gambling addiction in ā€œ$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)ā€ (S5:E10). Is it any surprise that Marge considered the effects of gambling addiction and started her own meeting?

Marge TSTO Dialogue Gamblers Anonymous

As we jokingly named this site TSTO Addicts because of how much we played and spent time on the game, I found this connection interesting. Heckā€¦ I thought the site name so funny I created a goofy twelve step program (sorry Marge… 12 is the name of the game) just for compulsive players like myself. Well, here we are about three and a half years into one of the funnest games Iā€™ve ever played and itā€™s time for another TSTO Anonymous meeting. I figured weā€™d take a look at addiction in what I hope is a fun way.
