Happy Musings Thursday my friends! I’m back with another musings post. I’ve got some thoughts, so let’s get to ’em…
It’s Thursday guys, and I have no idea what to write about. So I’m just going to start writing and see what comes out…fingers crossed it as some sort of “flow” to it.
No Christmas update yesterday, what a bummer. I was really hoping we’d see a little snow in Springfield to coincide with the influx of Christmas decorations going up all over the place! I was pretty disappointed, but honestly not surprised, that there wasn’t a shiny new update in my app store Wednesday!
While we’re on the topic of disappointed…am I the only one who feels like this was a disappointing year for TSTO in general? Sure we received updates, although it’ll be 1 less major event than we’re used to, but each one felt lackluster and like it was missing that special TSTO “spark”. We’ll talk more about this as we do our annual “year in review” podcast later this month, but it really feels like 2019 has been the lost year of TSTO.
Maybe I’ve just been playing this game for such a long time I’m starting to become a TSTO cynic! Although, I don’t think I’ll ever be as cynical about TSTO as some Tappers…I still remain positive on the future of TSTO. I just think things need a little shakeup. Who knows, maybe that’ll start with the Christmas event…
Speaking of Christmas…have you decorated yet? Gotten your Christmas tree up? Here in Jersey, the halls of Addicts HQ are officially decked, and the little Addicts are all ready for Christmas! Even Mickey, our scout elf, made his return. So Riley’s been enjoying running around the house each morning looking to see what Mickey was up to while she was sleeping! And Sam’s been enjoying watching his sister run around the house each morning acting crazy…
How about in your pocket-sized Springfields? Have you hit the light plunger on your town yet? Or are you waiting for snow? Come on, who doesn’t love to see the festive lights all over town? To me, there’s nothing quite as awesome in the mobile gaming world as our Pocket-Sized Springfields at Christmas…
The Candy Cane Cooling Towers looking so dapper in red and white…
Or the Wiggum house with the Santa falling over…Ralphie must’ve decorated…
The VanHouten’s with their Funzos swaying in the cool air…
The Mansion of Solid Gold…how Lampwick’s house has that little extra twinkle from the Christmas lights…
How cute the Purple House looks with Santa and his Reindeer up on the roof…
How Classic and simple the First Church of Springfield Looks decked out in Angels and baby Jesus…
Don’t mind how Mr. Costington is too big to fit through the doors…
How Sanjay’s House and Apu’s Apartment both look so simple, yet so elegant with their garland windows and few lights..
Only appropriate the Helen Lovejoy would be passing by…to judge.
Can’t help but love the Santa hat touch on Frink’s Lab…and even Willie’s got his shack decked out..
Town Hall has it’s tree up already too…
Even Candy Kevin can’t help but take a stroll through the lights…
And of course, who doesn’t love watching Homer and Flanders duke it out for the tackiest Christmas house on the block?!
Springfield is AWESOME for the holidays! Of course, it’s always better with snow
So I guess, if you’re like me, and pretty disappointed there’s no Christmas in Springfield yet…push the light plunger and turn on your lights and enjoy them! That’ll at least, hopefully, hold you over until the real event hits.
Enjoy strolling around town looking at the details of each decorated house. And enjoy it before the next event hits. Because soon the snow will be falling, the snowpeople will refreeze and then it’ll be too chaotic to enjoy the details! And let’s all hope that EA doesn’t screw it all up this year!
Anyway…that’s enough randomness for one Thursday. Hopefully next week I’ll have an event to muse about! Until then my friends…
Thoughts? How would you grade the events? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
