Although many of us have already finished, thanks to the extension, Foodie Fight is in the home stretch in our pocket-sized towns! (ends Wednesday 6/9) As the event winds down it’s time to grab your chef hat and apron, as we take a look back at the dialogue for this event…just in case you missed it while tapping too fast! So here’s the full dialogue for the Foodie Fith mini-event main questline…
Your senses can evoke powerful memories in you. The smell of saltwater can trigger you back to your youth spent at the beach, the touch of cotton can bring you back to memories of your mom, and hearing sounds of TSTO can bring back countless hours spent tap, tap, tapping away.
So let’s take a trip down memory lane via the sound effects of TSTO…
Who’s hungry?! In the mood for a Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burrito from General Chang’s?! Well, this is the mini-event for you! Yes, it’s mini-event time in our pocket-sized towns, as Foodie Fight makes its way to our games.
This mini-event ushered in one new premium character to help navigate this event. Tyler Boom is an all-new premium character for Springfield, who will not only help earn event currency but also comes with a short questline.
So let’s take a look at the questline for Tyler, here’s the full dialogue for Like Fodder Like Son…
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 sometimes find ourselves 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 😛 ) on YOU…our readers. From 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, and brag about it to the world. We want you to! Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.
Who’s hungry?! In the mood for a Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burrito from General Chang’s?! Well, then Foodie Fight is the mini-event for you!
Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes. For each of the parts of the Flop Chef questline, you’ll have to earn via various character tasks in order to unlock the prize for that part.
So let’s take a look at the final prize for this mini-event…Scotty Boom…
Update: It does look like they released an update extending the event by 1 week. So you have until June 9th to complete it now. This really just eliminates that off week we usually have between events, assuming EA stays on their “schedule” and releases the next event on the 9th.
However, while the update came out that extended the event, I don’t see anything that addressed the verification code. You still need one to log into your town (if you log out).
If you’re one of those folks that no longer have access to the email you use for TSTO, contact EA. They should be able to change your email address for you. (Use an email account like Gmail, that’s been proven to work for the code)
If you’re someone who has access to your email, and you’re just having issues with the code system…remember it works best if you have 2 devices. Either another phone or a computer where you can log into your email. Keep TSTO open after you request the code, and don’t move away from the screen where it says to enter the code…once you do that you’ll need to get a new code.
Remember, this is a giant pain in the butt…but it’s still entirely workable for your game. And the vast majority of players…the ones who don’t log out…have zero impact from this.
Now I don’t see anything official about an extension of playtime in the game or in the files, as of yet. So I do suggest continuing the play the mini-event as if it’s still going to end next Wednesday until we see something change in-game or in the files. (and of course, I’ll post if/when we do).
But it does appear that the login issues are unintentional, and EA is working to correct the problem so players can get back into TSTO.
Also, shoutout to justinmwat151 for bringing this to my attention…
If we find out any more info like if a fix has been released or if the dates have officially been extended, I’ll update y’all.
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?
For this post, we’re going to cover two of the restaurants from the Foodie Fight mini-event. They’re two quick blips on the world of The Simpsons, but they’re both from the same episode. So let’s take a look at where General Chang’s Taco Italiano and Chili Blasters came from…
Who’s hungry?! In the mood for a Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burrito from General Chang’s?! Well, then Foodie Fight is the mini-event for you!
Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes. For each of the parts of the Flop Chef questline, you’ll have to earn via various character tasks in order to unlock the prize for that part.
So let’s take a look at the building and decoration prizes for this mini-event (we’ll cover Scotty another post), General Changs, BBQ Battle Booth, Hot Dog Maker and Rocket Pigs…
Spending actual cash on donuts for an item is once again here in TSTO. This is something EA’s been rolling out over the last few years, and it’s a new bonus for actually spending cash on donuts. (instead of just farming them) Where they attach a limited-time, item to one of the donut bundles sometimes in addition to bonus donuts. This is the first time I recall seeing a limited-time BUILDING attached to this though…
And I want to be perfectly clear…you do not need to buy these items for the event itself. You can still play this game, and complete all the tasks and prizes, 100% free. These cash-for-items are a new type of premium currency…because donuts have been so devalued with donut farming.
This time around we’re being offered Chili Blasters + an animated task for Homer, for a tray of 132 Donuts ($9.99 in the US)..no bonus this time around. While it’s hard for me to sit here and tell you if you should or shouldn’t spend actual cash on the game (spoiler, I think you should always spend at least a small amount…even if it’s $.99/year on the game if it brings you joy and you want to see it continue) I thought I’d do a quick breakdown of Chili Blasters and anything else you might be curious about.
So let’s consider this an abbreviated Should I Buy…
Who’s hungry?! In the mood for a Sweet and Sour Lasagna Burrito from General Chang’s?! Well, this is the mini-event for you! Yes, it’s mini-event time in our pocket-sized towns, as Foodie Fight makes its way to our games. Of course, an all-new event means all-new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Tyler Boom and the Springfield BBQ Festival to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this foodie combo to your town…
