Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
We interrupt your Sunday Funday for some IMPORTANT NEWS…..
EA just released a new teaser on their TSTO Facebook Page:
Image/info below the fold is NOT considered a Spoiler by our standards because it’s officially released by EA. Also the image is grayed out…but for those who REALLY don’t want to know don’t click below…
What do you think it could be? Are you ready for what’s coming?! As we’ve stated several times we do believe the next event will hit on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week…so keep on tapping until then!
Hope y’all are enjoying your Sunday so far…and having fun with this week’s Open Thread!
Thoughts on the teaser? Loving how EA keeps teasing new events? Sound off below you know we love hearing from you!
STEPHEN HAWKING!?
Looks like Stephen Hawkins.
OMG, Stephen Hawking is awesome! If he’s voiced and we get to keep him, I shall be in heaven. I really love The Big Bang Theory, and geeky, science stuff.
Will there be a skin for Marge is a robot (*singing* and Doogie dee doo)
Doobie* dee doo
I would think Bender (but than he would be used as the tease), Martin’s C.H.U.M., RoboBart from THOH, R.T.D. Apu from THOH, RoboCheif Wiggum, Lovetester Grandpa, Frink’s Robowife, Linguo, Robo-Jebidia Springfield Statue, and Marge is a robot (from a brief visual gag, in a clip show). NOD BOT, Crying robots that faces melt and explode, Robo Richard Simmons, Patty and Selma’s Love-droids, The robots that ran the Powerplant, ….umm yeah tasks for R.O.S.A. And decoration (Frinks Robot) which I still want him to say “Why was I programmed to feel pain!”
battle bot parody robots.. There is plenty to work with, and with S.H. coming I’d think Future Simpson Family Dopplegangers which would be an event of it’s own.
Hologram tree decoration…. I got to stop thinking and start buying a new smart device before the 16th 😮
I think you forgot the suicidal robot from the movie.
Hah, good luck making a decision on your smart pad. Let us know what you picked and how awesome it is. (I’m still “thinking” about getting one, but hopefully my phone will update on the 16th. *crosses fingers*)
You might consider a hardware update 😉
Wow, I had to look that S.Movie robot up. Yep, another possibility. I don’t know if EA would animate it doing itself in (and if so, does it reconstruct itself?)
I also forgot Frankenstien Robot Homer from a early THOH. Other AI parody droids as NPCs/animated decoration, And also intentually left out I&S Robots assuming they will have their own event.
I’d like to see the Itchy and Scratchy robots terrorizing my town!
I’m really really hoping for a Springfield University/Springfield A&M event soon. Quests with Homer and his nerd buddies pranking the Dean, building campus buildings, dorms, stadiums to play each other. It could be a huge event.
That looks like a wheelchair more than a grave site look close at the back and front looks like wheels and where you would put your feet on front. Don’t know what the bird think looking like on the arm
Rolo2888
The bird looking thing could be a computer screen if it is Dr. Hawkings.
Science update? Or guest stars update… Wait, they were talking about clones earlier, maybe this Stephen Hawkin-y shadow is linked to that… Pondering… Pondering… Nah, the person whom this shadow must belong doesn’t work on cloning. Neither does his shadow for that matter. Maybe it will be parallel universes… Or maybe I drank too much absynthe again making me imagine crazy theories like that. Hmm, probably not, the bottle is empty.
WooHoo another event!!
mmmmmmmmm special event goodies:=)~
Also, I love the contest guys, keep up the great work!!
Futurama? 😛
So, is this D-list or Doppelgangers?
Futurama would be a dream come true lol
Just so people don’t think I’m arrogant but my iPhone Insists on always liking my own comments so it’s not me lol
Hey, you’re liking your own comments! … I like that.
“Hey, you’re stealing my trailer! …
I like that.”

Love that episode!!!
Very excited!!! So happy to see EA expand into celebrity characters!! Love this game!!!
I guess this is not counting any of the presidents currently in Springfield…as celebrities?
OK listen there going be Stephen Hawkins, one two robot from Simpsons episode when there was robot war and homer pretended be a robot, someong do with Lisa and should I save my 200 donuts
He is lame, so I hope not
Literal?
😂
Here we go. Game is revving up the engine to prepare for the Big Shark Jump.
Although I know guest celebrities are part of the show, I really like that they aren’t part of the game. Sigh… Next will be lady Gaga
So, Fonzy then? Fozzy? Fosse?
So the game didn’t jump the shark when you could play as a coyote or a horse? It’s a game lol
Lost me. Coyote is not a celebrity. Either Is a horse? Good try though. Just my opinion. I prefer that real world celebrities aren’t in the game. If you do, then more power to you.
I agree. I definitely would prefer celebrities aren’t in the game. My least favourite character is Matt Groening and I haven’t bought any of the US Presidents. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll continue to play when Stephen Hawkings and other celebrities enter the game. But I would have preferred they added the 73 characters from the Bracket Battle first, or those who missed out on the Bracket, like McBabe, Birch Barlow, Sideshow Raheem, etc.
To quote Safi on my previous comment
“Were you quoting my mind? I do the exact same.”
I 100% agree! Mayt groening is a boring character in the game and he would of only been more interesting if he were premium. I have not purchased any of the presidents either and all the characters in your bracket are a far better idea then Steven hawking. I’m rather see bleeding gums be added but I’m not sure if EA would since they have a weird stance on dead characters/actors and don’t always put them in the game e.g. Lionel hutz.
I wouldn’t call groening or any of the presidents really celebrities since one is the shows creator and the others are just historical figures.
I hope the game doesn’t start over crowding with celebrities like family guy did which made me quit it.
There’s 100’s of characters in the show with so much untapped game potential.
Oh I thought you meant jump the shark as in realism, that’s what most Simpsons fans think of the new episodes because the older ones were based on a real American family and well now it’s not lol
The Simpsons is best at a happy middle ground between realism and fantasy. Mostly realism with doses of “it’s a cartoon” are great. In an otherwise normal show they have Homer walk by the window while Homer sits on the couch. I can’t really speak about the newer shows but that balance is probably off.
I agree about Family Guy. Between the incredibly hard time earning all the “stuff” and the celebrity characters it was why I quit that game.
If the train is part of a Lady Gaga event I would really like it, Lady Gaga on hear own? BARF!!!!
I’m with you and Safi. The teaser did say ‘guest’, so maybe like Lyle Lanley in the Monorail event, it will just be for a short time. That would be ok. I’d love to see Elon Musk guest star for an event.
If Elon Musk is coming, the Monorail might get tube.
I’m guessing that he’ll be a “guest star” in the game, rather than a permanent addition. I think if they do that, it would be kinda cool.
Wonder if they’ll offer Frink as part of a donuts rebates deal with this whole science update.
I hope so, since I don’t have him yet. 🙂
If nothing else, I assume they’ll bring back the black hole….can’t have hawking in the game and not do that!
Good Glayvin! Bring on the sciency stuff!! Very excited 🙂
Spaghettification (NOW £#¢% off auto-correcktt)
That’s what happens when you get too close to a black hole due to the strong gravitational pull at the event horizon .
The molecules on your head would be accelerated into the black hole sooner than the ones in your feet causing you to be stretched out a bit…… spaghettification
🍝 😃 🇬🇧
Okay, so am I the only one who could only see a big trunk with a grosshopper on it, with its wings open, kinda like ready to fly? Maybe I need more sleep?
His module (box thing) looked like a leaf. Does that count?
I don’t know. Everything’s so distorted… One thing I’ll tell you, though: I’ll never tease you for being sleep deprived ever again.
or less of something else…! 😉
I was considering saying that….
Of course, some people like to say that about me, but there’s nothing else. 100% grade A Simp.
Definitely Stephen Hawkins. Is his wheelchair going to have the helicopter blades as in the episode??
I wonder what the event could be? I honestly hope that’s it’s not him though, because he is sooo lame…
Well, yes, in the physical sense, but otherwise, I don’t see how you can say that about him!
I agree!!!!
Rolo2888
Of course this means Tuesday updates (remember EA’s warning that older devices are going to be deprecated)
This looks cool, some posts had me fearing a Springfield Height event but this looks good.
Time travel would be awesome and due to the event likely hitting on Tuesday with the OS change that means that they might do something cool with it! Something big? Sooo excited!!!
Stephen Hawking I presume?
Sheldon from TBBT would love what I think is coming there… And saving a brain would find his agreement as well 😉 ^KMP
Appears to be Stephen Hawking in the greyed out image
Stephen Hawking and a sciency event? Brilliant. I’m thinking wormholes and time travel
I thought it was a wheelchair. Then I read the caption. Are they going to put Stephen Hawking in the game?????? :-O Has he even been in the Simpsons?! I’m so excited!!!
Sure looks like it to me (see image in comment below)
Yes, he voiced himself in episode #10.22 They Saved Lisa’s Brain.
He was in the episode when Lisa joins Mensa and then goes to Moe’s for a drink with Homer – maybe spend less time in Tapped Out and more on The Simpsons! 😜😜😜
“Homer, I love your idea of a donut shaped universe”
It’s definitely Stephen Hawking. Maybe he’s building the mall or making doppelgangers…
Stephen Hawking
Sure looks like it to me..

Hawking!
Would this make him TSTO’s first celebrity?
I believe it would…
I could make a whole bracket of 64 easily. Forget 64, forget 128, I could make a bracket of 256 if we did “Most Desired Celebrity”. LOL!
lol yes you could
Yeah, and he would be last, lol!
Brack-et,brack-et,brack-et!😃
I guess you’ll exclude Celebrity Troy McClure from that one too :p
Of course. But I’ll mention it in my rules in week 1. 🙂
Mark Hamill for the win.
Other than the guy with the beard who created the Simpsons, Matt…. Something. Groening, that’s it.
He doesn’t count lol…
It’s HIS game…he easily gave his rights for his usage. 😉
Outside of Matt G.
Yea but he doesn’t really count. It is his world 😉
Oh yeah, and the dead presidents
