OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!
The TSTO Clone Wars continue and last week EA gave us even more stuff for the battlefront. Of course, at first pass you might think none of it could possibly be from the Best. Show. Ever. because the event is mocking another game but you’d be wrong. For this origin post, we’ll be taking a look at the instrument of decapitation commonly associated with Medieval Europe and Revolutionary France… the guillotine.
99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
‘ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war’n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
Oh hey there friends! Just singing and working here in the attic. Nice of you to drop by. I guess since you’re here it’s only fair to share the latest info I’ve been compiling for the Clash of Clones WDTCF series. Let’s dive right in and check out the origins for the Hot Air Balloon, shall we?
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 😛 ) 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 our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.
“My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.”
~ Wilfred Owen, Dulce Et Decorum Est, 1917
With all the TSTO War going on, it brings to mind some of the great war poetry I’ve read in my life (quite a bit during my last semester of college). I thought I’d start this Weekend Update with a little culture. I highly recommend Mr. Owen’s stuff and will save you from any more of my thoughts about real war.
Moving back to why you’re probably here… the Weekend Update… Wookiee here and this was the last week at TSTO Addicts.
Step 1… place undesirable object or destructive apparatus in the bowl-shaped bucket of the catapult.
Step 2… aim at area where object needs to be sent.
Step 3… pull lever and go get dinner.
Step 4… make sure dinner isn’t what you just catapulted.
Hello there fellow warfighters! Wookiee popping by with even more Where Did THAT Come From info for your reading enjoyment. For this edition of WDTCF, I thought we’d take a look at our newest item which is a medieval version of a siege weapon originally created by the Ancient Greeks… the Catapult.
“All my life I’ve lived by a code; and the code is simple: Honor the gods, love your woman, and defend your country. TSTO is mother to us all. Fight for her!”
Whoa… maybe watching a movie about Trojan horses and playing/blogging about the current TSTO event isn’t a good combination. Anywho… in the middle of all this, you may find yourself wondering just where all the items in the Clash of Clones event come from. The easy answer is the game it’s making fun of but not everything is from THAT game. Some of it comes from the Best. Show. Ever. For this edition of WDTCF, I thought we’d take a look at the origin of Barbarian Homer.
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
We thought we’d do something a little fun tonight, it is Saturday night after all, and do a special weekend edition of Caption This! And unlike our usual weekly Caption This! post, this time we thought we’d share a few of the funny images you guys have been sending in! So caption 1, caption 2, caption them all…or just giggle along with us!
Sometimes TSTO gives us humorous little moments when we capture our characters doing rather strange things. These posts are all about those strange and funny moments! Twice a week we’ll be posting a Caption This! moment where we want you, the Addicts readers, to put on your writing caps and come up with what you think is happening in the screenshot. Post your captions in the comments below. We can’t wait to see how creative and funny you guys can be!
Hey Addicts… Caption This!
