Blah Blah Blah Yadda Yadda (Open Thread)

Afternoon all. Having a fun day? Lots of stuff on your mind? Just want to ramble on about anything and everything? WELL TOO BAD!!!

Portal and Ghost

Errr, I mean… Here is the place where you can do it. Have something cool you want to share with your fellow readers/Addicts? Have something on your mind that you just want to get off it? Have a lovely bunch of coconuts? Lol.

This post is for open conversation. Pretty much anything and everything goes (as long as it still follows the Addicts Site Guidelines). Feel free to chat it up all you want.

If you are not sure of what to talk about, here are a few subjects to get you started.

Did YOU watch the New Family Guy Episode yet? If so, what did YOU think of it? 

Halloween, the Holiday, is coming up around the corner. Did YOU decorate for it? If so, did you go all out? Still go Trick or Treating? Got a costume already planned? 

NFL fan? If so, do YOU have a fave team? Have a Fantasy League? 

Do YOU like ice cream? Have a fave flavor? Ben n Jerry’s Dublin Mudslide anyone? 

There you go. Get your typing fingers fired up and yap yap yap away.

  1. As for something I want to get off my chest. I don’t like the fact Cleveland is assigned as one of the Ghostbusters with him being a limited edition character. It should have been Jerome instead.

    Either Cleveland is a standard character that can be unlocked without Clams or he’s a pretty much useless Limited Time character. He shouldn’t be one that goes both ways where you need him so you can do every task during an event. Knowing that Cleveland has exclusive tasks and a Ghostbuster outfit annoys the hell out of me.

    The only way I plan to get Cleveland is if I happen to earn 400 Clams during the event. The same goes for Human Rupert, which TinyCo refuses to restore from my previous lost game.

  2. Alissa and Bunny you shouldn’t have made this thread. Instead it would have been better to promote users to go to your Forum. That’s the place for people to comment about the game and complain about TinyCo. Currently, its deader there than Diane Simmons. If everybody that posted here about things did it there it wouldn’t be a ghost town.

  3. Hijacking thread back to the event…
    Hi gang a newbie here, I can’t remember if I clicked Dianne first but it was taking to too long to get GB Peter so I bought him. Then I started doing the math and bought the machine and the pet cemetery. Trying now to be stingy with clams but after the bones there are 5 other jars of ingredients!

    My tinfoil hat says that Tinyco is milking us so we can cough up the cash.

    NO WAY you could get the Ghostmobile without spend- Agree?

    • Disagree. Strongly. Outside the hiccup with Diane they quickly added note to, I have been moving at a quite nice speed in the event in my Freemium test game. Not in it that often daily as I play multiple ones, but got all I needed FAST (outside cards) for Peter. Now bone jars are coming along nicely. So far, it has been clam free for me.

      • I’m going clam free on this one as well. Spent way to many on comic con (nearly 3000). So far I’m at 2100 vials saved up, 600fp, and 17 jars of dog bones. Honestly I’m having way more fun earning “stuff” rather than buying it. Although I wish I could get the currency generators for free because they look so cool.

        But in all seriousness, I probably would more than likely go to haunted houses, watch a movie marathon, or go to an amusement park rather than bringing out a bag of tricks myself. That all sounds extremely fun though..

  32. Does anyone on here remember playing games on MySpace, back when that was the social engine of choice?

    I ask because I absolutely hate Facebook as a gaming platform & this new thing they are doing logging games out is so cumbersome. I felt MySpace was much more seamless between a game app & the platform itself. If only it would have developed further I think we would have a better online experience than what Facebook is passing off these days.

    I kind of think the switch was driven by masses of people who don’t really know that much about computers deciding they liked the feel of one program over another as opposed to the overall functionality of the program itself. I actually disliked Facebook so much I swore off ever making an account. That lasted about a year until this chick I was trying to date encouraged me to get a Facebook page.

    Oh well. Just curious if anyone else shares these frustrations or your thoughts on the evolution of social media in general?

I liked the idea of MySpace (I wonder what happened to Tom?) and have never been too crazy about Facebook, though FB has helped me reconnect with some old friends. Now that Twitter’s been gaining momentum over FB, and it seems like social media is moving towards smaller and smaller information chunks. Twitter is too scattered for me and I’m probably showing my age by refusing to get an account.

If you’re short on space just move some decorations closer/buildings further creating the same gap so your fingers won’t irresponsibly fly as easily! 🙂 Come on dog bones…even with my grassy safety net I still don’t trust myself not to start her task by mistake!

Once I get mayor West I’ll have enough clams to get the brain damaged horse which will leave me with 100 freemium clams to spend on the Halloween event because I already have the other purchased players (all freemium).

Not sure how I feel about this event so far, it’s hard to keep track of all the things necessary to go further in the event. I’ll wait and see I guess!
