Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well, guess what?  It’s time once again to give away some free stuff!!  It’s nearly Halloween, and that time of the year means it’s time for a little FUN!  Yes, we’re once again we’re partnering up with our friends at Fun.com, the company that delivers memories through a billion smiles, a million laughs and a few disapproving head shakes.   We ran a T-Shirt off Our Backs contest back during the Spring of 2016 and a Put on a Mask Contest during Halloween 2016 and last Halloween we ran a Mr. Plow contest all from our friends at Fun.com.  Thankfully we all had so much fun we’re doing it again!

Addicts Open Thread

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…..

Last few days of the newest installment of Superheroes are coming up (ends Wednesday), what do you think will hit next?  Personally, I think we’ll see a teaser and then Halloween next week…but that’s just me.  It is the last week of Sept, so you never know…

As I just mentioned, it’s the last week of September, which means…Halloween is quickly approaching!  What do you think the TSTO Halloween Event will bring to Springfield? What are your ideas for your own Halloween?  Costume plans?  Still working on our costume ideas here…

And finally, how about the rest of your weekend?  Do anything fun and exciting?  Enjoying the first days of Fall?  (Christmas will be here before you know it!)

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well)  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

Friday Filler – The REAL Importance of Everyman

Thank Grog It’s Firday!!

Whoa…it’s been “one of those weeks.”  Wall-to-wall-to-wall work commitments and launching new “re-wirement” projects.  And in the middle of it all, I had to sit back and chuckle at the timeliness of receiving one of my favorite “Super Heroes” in our game…Everyman!

Wait…hold on…I hear you rolling your eyes.  And yes…you have really loud eyes!

I have seen the comments.  You were all a bit disappointed that this “mini event” was so mini! You didn’t want another Super Hero event, unless it was truly SUPER!

But for me, there is simply no doubt that Everyman may be needed more than ever.  And in fact, it may be when we keep relying on “heroes” to get the work done, instead of relying on an Everyman, we may be dooming ourselves to failure.

While it’s easy to discount or forget Everyman when someone like RadioActive Man is flying around, when push comes to shove, and it’s time to get things done, give me Everyman, every time!

Super Powers Prize Breakdown: Everyman and his Practice Landing Animation

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Out with Moe’s Ark and in with Superheroes…yes again…as a new mini-event makes its way into our games.

Of course, as we’ve said over the last few years, mini-events have become low stress “events” so you can enjoy some relaxing downtime in TSTO, but still have something to keep you tapping every so often.

Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes.  For each of the parts of the Price of Power questline, you’ll have to earn  via various character tasks in order to unlock the prize for that part.

Let’s take a look at the details of the fifth and sixth prizes, Everyman and his Practice Landing Animation.  What it does and how you unlock it…
