Winter SPOILER: What’s Next in Family Guy?

Update: So there’s an app store update…make sure you check it out.  Hopefully it changes the icon from nutcracker Stewie…

There’s also more details about the next event:

iosfg

Sweet!  After nearly 2 years of me telling TinyCo to release an update around sports they finally listened (cause you know, we’re not all nerds like Bunny..)!  The update itself has NOT hit the games yet, but be sure to download the latest verision (1.17.0) so you can play once it goes live!  (And if I were you i’d anticipate it going live sometime in the next 48hrs…just based on the update hitting the stores etc)

Hello There Clammers!

Well Bunny’s still healing..and all hopped up on pain meds…so I get the fun of sharing with you guys the newest spoiler sent to us courtesy of TinyCo!

The snow has melted, Christmas is over…although if you look at the game icon you’d think otherwise (really TC can you fix that already?  Tired of seeing nutcracker Stewie…)…and the Li’l Event is just about up (ends tomorrow, don’t forget), so what’s next in our Tiny Quahogs?

Caption This Clammers!

As you are playing through quest lines, finishing up some tasks, or seeking to get those “rare” items for our characters… you may catch a glance at some of the funny moments that happen in our games. For those of you that are watching and are actually able capture these rather silly and strange things as they happen, we want to see them.

Now comes the fun part, once a week we will be posting these silly images here but want YOU, the readers, to caption them for us. So put on your silly thinking hats, let out that lil comedian inside, and have some fun! (Keep them PG please.)

This week’s Caption This was sent in by Addicts Reader Gambit Rogue…

CAPTION THIS CLAMMERS!!

If you’ve got an image you’d like to submit for a “Caption This Clammers!” post, email it to us at familyguyaddicts@gmail.com or post it on the Family Guy Addicts Flickr page, you never know when yours might be next!

It’s A Girl!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So I’m sure some of you have been wondering just where I’ve been…or just how long Bunny’s put me on on bed rest for.  Well..there’s been a good reason for my absence.  The Tiny Addict has arrived!

Riley Margaret arrived on Thursday November 12th at 6:02pm!  Weighing in at 8lbs 2oz and 20″ long.  She’s for sure a keeper and we’re over the moon excited about her!

My apologies for no telling you guys sooner, or not having Bunny or Wookiee tell y’all.  It’s been a whirlwind of a few days, including how she came into the world.  Riley’s currently in the NICU being treated for some breathing issues and a couple of other labor related complications.  The good news is she’s doing really, really well.  The bad news is she still can’t quite come home.  (hopefully this week)

So I’ll still be away for a few more days, while we spend the time visiting Riley at the hospital.  But remember…I’m always watching 😉

Addicts Housekeeping Note: Comment Awaiting Moderation

Update: The Awaiting Moderation problem should be fixed now.  Let me know if you continue to see problems.  One thing I will say is I didn’t see a message if I wasn’t logged into a WordPress account.  So if you’re not seeing the message it could be because you’re not logged in….

Hello There Clammers!

Just popping in with a quick post about something many of you are commenting on (and emailing us about)….the Comment Awaiting Moderation message that’s disappeared.

Typically when you comment on Family Guy Addicts you see a message that looks like this when you initially make a comment:

comment mod

But since this past weekend, many of you have pointed out that the awaiting moderation message has disappeared…as has your comment.  While we still see your comments on our end, you guys don’t realize they went through and often times will comment again (and again) or email us wondering if you’ve been banned for some reason.

Here’s the deal….this is a bug on WordPress’ end.  It took a little while, but we’ve finally figured out (after working with WP) what’s happening and why it’s happening.  So over the course of today I’m going to take the steps necessary to correct the problem. (unfortunately it’s not as simple as WP “flipping a switch”).  So the site may look a little funky for a few minutes today…but all the content will still be there and by the time I’m done the “Awaiting Moderation” message will come back.

Sorry for the frustration and anger this may have caused some of you.  I know we saw several emails from people wondering why they were banned from the site.  I promise we haven’t banned anyone…it’s just a bug that we’ll now fix. 🙂

Thanks for your patience with this!

Family Guy Addicts Remember: September 11th Fourteen Years Later

First let me start this with a little disclaimer. I know this is a blog about The Quest For Stuff and I also know that this is a blog read by more than just Americans. However, all of the Addicts writers are from America and we feel as though it just wouldn’t be right to let today pass with out something. This post will remain our top post until after the moments of silence, and we will return to our regular TQFS posts shortly after. Thank you for your understanding and respect.

Today is September 11th 2015, the 14th anniversary of the attacks on America, where 2,977 innocent people were killed while just going about their everyday. Today Bunny and I would like to take a moment to honor all those innocent lives that were lost in New York City, Shanksville PA, and Washington DC.

We ask you, the readers of this blog, to take a moment today to reflect on that day and honor those who lost their lives.

Happy Labor Day!

Hello There Clammers!

Well here in the US today marks the unofficial end of Summer….Labor Day.  Funny how here in America we don’t bother using calendars to mark the start and end of our summers…we know Memorial Day is the unofficial start and Labor Day is the unofficial end….sometimes I think we just like the excuse for a good Barbecue!

Of course Labor Day isn’t really about the end of summer…and it isn’t only celebrated in the US (our friends up in Canada are celebrating it today as well…).  No, Labor Day (or Labour Day) is a celebration of the workers movement.  It’s meant to honor those who contribute to the strength and prosperity of their country.   (you can read more about it here)

Anywho most Americans will spend today soaking up what’s left of their summer and spend time with their families and friends down the shore (can you tell I’m from Jersey?!), at parades, picnics and watching fireworks!  And since Bunny and I are all located in the US…you can throw us into that bunch!  But don’t worry, we’ll still be popping in and out of the comments throughout the day to help you with all of your Peter Palooza quetions.  Just keep in mind it might take us a little while to moderate through all the comments, so we thank you in advance for your patience!

Note: We’ve tried to take a little time this weekend to recharge and relax.  (or in my case putting together baby furniture) So thank you for your patience and baring with us while we’re not around as much.

We hope you all have a GREAT day!  Do YOU have any plans for today?  Did you enjoy your summer?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

And…as a bonus, just in case you need to burn off a little of that creative energy…Caption This!
