Springfield Showoff: Cthulhu’s Revenge

Posted on October 9, 2019 by | 45 comments

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. 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”.

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

Simpsons are back!  An all-new episode airs tonight!  Don’t forget to watch…

Cthulhu’s Revenge mini-event is winding down.  Have you finished the prize track?  Thoughts on the mini-event overall?  What do you think Halloween will contain?

Episode 52- EA’s Revenge

Posted on October 5, 2019 by | 5 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Welcome to Addicts Live!  Unfortunately, YouTube has discontinued the software we use for Livestreaming the show, so we’re no longer live…in the sense that you can interact with us while we’re recording the show.  But we still wanted to bring you great TSTO content, in the form of our Podcast and video, so that’s exactly what we’ve done for you guys by pre-recording the show.

As much of a bummer is that we’re no longer doing the live stream, pre-recording it allows for some flexibility as to when we record, which means you’re more likely to get all the Addicts together for the show than before!  Great bonus! 🙂

So we hope you enjoy this week’s episode, as much as we enjoyed putting it together…

The Addicts Crew is back again this week with an all-new episode of Addicts Live! Join Alissa, Patric, and Safi as they breakdown the latest mini-event to hit TSTO (Cthulhu’s Revenge), the Simpsons Season 31 premiere, episode 666, and discuss what EA may have up its sleeve for Halloween.  Plus, there are some valuable life lessons about cold weather, shrinkage, streaming, and why we do what we do!
You won’t want to miss all the laughs this episode has to offer!

You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or listen to it below!

Audio Only:

Friday Filler – Optimism -VS- Pragmatism

Posted on October 4, 2019 by | 23 comments

Thank Grog It’s Firday!

Ah…another week of insanity. But, we aren’t going to go there.  The fact is, these days, you can’t even tell where “there” is, let alone actually “go there.”

Like so many things in life, it seems that those who are mostly optimistic have a life that is simply easier, and perhaps even beneficial to living longer. In fact, a recent study published last month, states that  “individuals with greater optimism are more likely to live longer and to achieve exceptional longevity, that is, living to age 85 or older.”

Now, THAT’S an optimistic view of optimism.

I would argue, that if one isn’t pragmatic, there is a good chance that one may not live to be 85, because you may be inclined to do something stupid, that cuts your life short. But, the experts don’t seem to agree. I’m guessing the experts are all women. Which I’ll get to in a minute…

This battle between the “glass half full” and “the glass needs to be washed” crew here at TSTO Addicts became evident once again, as Safi, Alissa and I gave our opinions about the “Future of the Game” during our Addicts Live taping (which airs Tomorrow, Live on Video).

I do wish that I had the capacity to be more of a “Bliss Ninny,” in life.  I think I WOULD be happier if I could ignore most of what goes on around me. But, I’m not. So I can’t. And because of that, I am branded as “cranky.”

Where do YOU fall in this debate?  Let’s take a little Pop-Quiz to find out…

Cthulhu’s Revenge Prize Breakdown: Cthulhu

Posted on October 4, 2019 by | 6 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well, no break for the Tappers, as it’s back-to-back mini-events in TSTO…not too shabby. Yesterday Cthulhu’s Revenge launched in Springfield, in what appears to be a mini-event precursor to Halloween!  Something to whet the appetite for what may be ahead in our games…at least we hope!

Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes.  For each of the parts of the Cthulhu’s Revenge 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, Cthulhu…

The Sounds of TSTO: Cthulhu’s Revenge

Posted on October 3, 2019 by | 4 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So let’s take a trip down memory lane via the sound effects of TSTO…
