Turbo Tappin’ Holidays 2013: Wheel Prize-Mr. Plow

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s been snowing here a lot lately, so say I’m on a bit of a Snow Plow kick…earlier today I brought you the Plow King Turbo Tappin’ Guide.  Another prize you can win on Krusty’s Wheel is Mr. Plow, the Plow King’s arch nemesis…well maybe not that bad (more on this later).

Mr. Plow was originally released as a limited-time skin back in January of 2013 that you could purchase (for 90 donuts!) for our old pal Homer J Simpson.  For those who didn’t shell out the dough-nuts (see what I did there?) for him or for those Android users who didn’t have the game yet, you’re in luck because Mr. Plow is back!  And part of Krusty’s Wheel of just land on anything but cash!  Once unlocked a 7 part questline should auto-start for Homer (in the Mr. Plow skin).  If it doesn’t auto-start check to see if Homer is on another task, and that he’s in his Mr. Plow skin.  If he’s not Mr. Plow, tap on Homer and toggle to Mr. Plow.  If he IS Mr. Plow but the quest still doesn’t start, try hard closing the app and restarting.  That should (hopefully) “kick-start” the quest.

So let’s plow on through…..Here’s your Turbo Tappin’ Mr. Plow Walkthrough: Continue reading

Where did THAT come from – Clausco

CLAUSCO… doesn’t that name just sound ominous? The building looks just as foreboding as that name makes me feel. Basically everything that’s wrong with corporate Christmas rolled into a manifestation in my favorite game lol.

Reminder: New Simpsons Episode “White Christmas Blues”

“Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.  And since we’ve no place to go…let it snow let it snow let it snow!”

Well Hello There Gift Grabbing Tappers!

Well…it’s snowing in TSTO and it’s snowing at my house so how about a little snow in Springfield?  Well, that’s exactly what happens in this week’s episode of the Simpsons!

Be sure to tune in tomorrow (Sunday) to check out the latest episode of the Simpsons.  Supposedly Springfield has been covered with snow, as a result of a leak at the Power Plant, turning everyone’s favorite city into a “Wookiee Wonderland”  just in time for Christmas!  Be sure to watch all the hilarity as Marge turns the Simpson’s house into a holiday boarding house full of Christmas Cheer! (or is it….)

Check out this teaser from the episode

The Gift of EA: The Run Down On Gift Cards, Gift Bags & Prizes

Hey Howdy Hey Ghostbuste..er I mean Gift Grabbers!

Snow has arrived in Springfield & is it just me or is anyone else have Déjà vu? Christmas looks a lot like Halloween (sort of).  Instead of the creepy mist, Ghosts, Gremlins and GOO, Christmas brings us snow, gift boxes, gift bags and gift cards (Geez..what’s with all the G words EA?!)  Confused yet?  Don’t be…as always the Addicts team is here to help!  We’ve got you covered, so that plus the 4 weeks you have to play the update should help you achieve all of the goals!  Let’s get right to it by breaking down the “game inside the game”.

If we were Ghostbusters at Halloween we’re Gift Grabbers for Christmas, because that’s what EA is asking you to do here.  The object is to “grab” (tap) gifts in your town to collect Gift Cards and other goodies.  Gift Cards are the new in-game currency for special Christmas items.  Occasionally a Gift Box will spill out a Gift Bag or a Spin Coin when you tap them.  Gift Bags are collected to put into your friend’s towns, they’ll help you earn more Gift Cards.  Confused yet? Don’t be…let’s break it all down step by step Continue reading
