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!!!

Meg n Chris kissing

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? Bored at home and just wanna chat?

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. Venting goes to the What The Hell posts. Not here. So keep them out or we will. ; )

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

(Once it airs) Did YOU watch the New Family Guy Episode? If so, what did YOU think of it? 

What is the WORST Halloween costume fail you ever had? Got pics to share of it?

Travel recently?  If so, do anything exciting? 

Do you love lamp? Need more cowbell? 

NO AND THEN!!

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

  1. My worst Halloween fail was when i got my friends to agree on being the ghostbusters but we didnt have proton packs so we used our vacuum cleaners instead. But my one black friend wanted to be a ghost(lol) so when we went out we turned on our vacuums and suck up his costume every house we went to XD he wouldnt talk to us for 3 days lol

  2. Not to be negative but i thought cleveland was suppose to be a big help so far nothing ive had him but i feel bad for people who bought him thinking he would have been used by now. I say this knowing that he is in the next portal but could have been used him to gather things for the other goastbuster costumes

  6. I want to thank both of you for all the work you do on this site. I got grumpy about this bombing quest, but I got my alien (who is too cool) and with those bombs I managed to finally get my portal. Is anyone else seeing issues with the bombs registering? I had three more drop from my peoples but the counter didn’t register them. They did tally when I zoom to launch them.

    For the American Dad event I really hope they add Avery (Stan’s boss). It would be TOO awesome having him and Sir Patrick Stewart wandering around. Bonus points if they add a task for them to complete together.

    • There is a delay in the sync. Usually a force close and/or device restart syncs it back up. The true amount seems to show when you tap on it vs just in the main screen.

  12. Really disappointed in the stink bomb event. I have 2 hours and 16 minutes left and I need to bomb just 9 more kids. There were times that I either didn’t get stink bombs or I would send a character to make them and when I’d come back they were just walking around.

    It also would have been nice if the ghosts would have dropped stink bombs like the nerds dropped bombs during Comic-Con.

    • Same…first time I haven’t even bothered trying to complete a task (that didn’t rely on spending money outright ala buying characters with clams). Soon as the task came up I tried boming a few kids, saw how it’s been made more difficult since the Comic Con/bomb stewie event and said “Nope”. Not sure if it’s the repetitive grinding nature or I’m just tired of doing the same stuff over and over or what.

  14. I’d really like to comment again how there’s a total lack of space to put everything in the FG game. I literally started a list of everything I’ve had to swap out in my inventory in the hopes that one day they will grant a LOT more land (and I mean a LOT). My town continues to look like crap, there’s no aesthetic quality to it whatsoever, it’s just jammed with buildings, and I can’t even enjoy some of the animations because they’re behind buildings. None of the layout makes any sense, it just looks crammed with stuff. It’s supposed to be ‘The Quest for Stuff’ right? not ‘The Quest to fill your Inventory with Stuff.’

    Liked by 1 person

    • Agreed. Totally. I haven’t spent much money on this game but i was thinking if I were a completionist and bought everything they released, there would be nowhere to fit it all. Unless it was all buildings with no roads or anything. Frustrating.

      Like

    • I agree 1,000,000%! A “Quest for stuff” needs to definitely be able to display our stuff. Otherwise, what’s the point in collecting and earning any of it if we just end up stowing it in an inventory hoping to put it out when we get more land but then — oops! Sorry. This new land will be filled up with MORE new buildings and decorations for a character that could use current (or stored) buildings for the item drops they’d need to unlock him/her.
      It is ridiculous. And I’ve fought it for so long and finally had to resort to just storing so many great buildings because I refuse to give up the look of my layout. So I pick and choose now which buildings fit where in place of current buildings and have to decide if I’d be ok with the swap.
      I love the disobedience school and the skate parks but they, along with a huge list as well, are stored right now. And I have such little space for the next 2 weeks of Halloween stuff to come! I’ve got buildings floating halfway in the water so I have room for trees and back to back buildings.
      I feel your pain.
      Unfortunately TinyCo thinks it’ll crash our games if we have everything out. And they have to allow people with at least a minimum OS to play. So based on what they feel as a minimum, everything must work using that system.
      (Although my iPad mini crashes everytime and I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it and done all the troubleshooting and after 30 seconds to a minute into playing it just closes on its own. Everytime. So I can’t play it on the iPad mini and it’s is a new one from this June.)
      Oh well I gotten used to the iPhone screen and doing the “which building is my least favourite of the ones I have out to replace this new thing I just got. And then the next 5 new things….”

    • I could also go on and on about how we’re trying to unlock all these unique trophies and ‘stuff’, yet have no place to put anything and are recommended to keep stuff in our inventory for performance reasons. Defeats the entire purpose of completing tasks if we can’t even use what we win.

  15. Unlocked Francis earlier, love his Show His True Colours animation, it made me laugh. I also beat this weeks challenge, as I thought that doing the Bomb 5 Trick-or-,Treaters quest would trigger the challenge I held off to stockpile Bombs, when I hit 60 I started the challenge, it then only took me around 5-6 hours to beat the challenge and win the cool portal. So along with that, and winning all the Demonic Mystery Box prizes, and getting the Alien, I love his animation where he flosses and brushes his teeth, this phase has been a lot of fun.

      • No it only took about 40, I just made sure I was hitting between 3-4 of the Trick-or-Treaters with each bomb, I did hit more at times, but having 60 Bombs took away the pressure as even if I hit 2 each time I was garenteed to beat the challenge. I hope this helps, and good luck with it, I’m sure you’ll beat it.

  17. My worst Halloween costume fail was when I decided to go as a “Ninja Pizza Delivery Man” during the TMNT craze. I had a ninja mask and weapons and pizza boxes that I wore on my front and back. The problem was he had a nasty rain storm hit on Trick or Treat night. My costume fell apart within 30 minutes. I ended up walking around in my poncho and arguing with the neighbors about giving me candy (because I was not in a costume).

  18. Six and one. Wooo, finally a decent start for the Cowboys. Oh yea. Sorry. This is for Family Guy Addicts. I am crazy about Ghostbusters and was over the moon about this event. Love Halloween too. So why haven’t I been going crazy like I have with the previous events? I honestly don’t know. Maybe I’m just a little burnt out. No matter the reason I still play daily and check this site every day. The cool thing about it is that’s ok. It is just a game and this is just a site dedicated to it. Nobody will get hurt if I don’t jump in full throttle. Maybe I’ll get sucked in and devote way too much time to it again in the future maybe I won’t. Whatever the case, the game and the dedicated staff running this site have brought me a lot of joy. Why am I even bringing it up? Because I want others to know that it is ok not to take it more serious than they do. Even when I’m not giving it 100%, I still enjoy myself immensely. The same with reading all the awesome articles and comments here. Fun. That’s what a game should be. This one is very fun and so is the blog. I can’t thank Bunny and Alissa enough for all the chuckles, and sometimes right out rib cracking laughter, they have gifted me. I know sometimes negativity sneaks in but there are always those of us who are touched, even if only for a few minutes a day, by the work done here. Thanks to everyone who contributes to making this a fun place to be by comments or any other means. These lovely ladies deserve all our respect and I hope they and you keep doing what you do for a long time to come.

      The show was better under RTD .

      Capaldi however lends a bit of gravitas to the role, he’s a tad more sinister and not so likeabl . Much like the first incarnation of the doctor. It mixes things up a bit.

I know you mean well..I just can’t let it through…
