Quahog Love Connection: Who Would You Send on a Date?

Posted on February 5, 2015 by | 70 comments

Hello There Clammers!

With Valentine’s Day approaching….iOS users just got the same pre-event update that Kindle users got….we thought we should have a little fun here at Addicts while we all anxiously await TinyCo “flipping the switch” for the Event.  So let’s start the Love Connection….

We know from the event sneak peak and from Tiny Matt’s guest post on our site that matchmaking will be a big part of this event.  In fact Tiny Matt even says: “For Valentine’s Day, we’re wondering:what would happen if a bunch of these characters went on dates?” So now we want to know…which characters in TQFS would YOU send on a date?

Tell us in the comments below who you would try to make a love connection with.  It can be anyone from Alien dating Predator to Nathan Fillion dating Babs Pewterschmidt…the possibilities are endless!  So don’t be shy and let’s all put on our best Chuck Woolery impressions and try to make a Quahog Love Connection!

Hello There Clammers!

Last week we asked you to participate in our Superbowl Prediction Contest.  The players that correctly guessed which team would win the big game would be placed in the randomizer and top three would win $10 gift cards!

Well the New England Patriots won the game & while many of you predicted the Seahawks would take it…there were a few of you who knew the Pats would pull it out in the end!  So with out further ado…let’s reveal the winners!

Something Loving This Way Comes??

Posted on February 4, 2015 by | 113 comments

Update 2/5: The same pre-event update has hit for iOS users.  Remember…this is NOT the actual Event.  Not yet.  This is just preparing your device for when TinyCo “flips the switch”.

Hello There Clammers!

As a few of our Kindle players mentioned last night in the comments, TinyCo has released the basic update for Valentine’s Day to Kindle devices.  No, this is not THE Valentine’s Day update.  Instead this is just the basic App store drop (changes to the icon- Valentine’s Peter , but Splash Screen is the same for now), so the Kindle Players will be able to start the update once TinyCo “Flips the switch” (we hope).  We’ve seen TinyCo do this before with events like Comic-Con & Halloween.  Since they have no control over when the update will be approved by various markets, they’ll release the basic update in advance, but not turn it on yet.

Personally, I think this is a great move my TinyCo.  Amazon has been notoriously SLOW at approving TQFS updates, which puts our Kindle friends at a massive disadvantage to starting events.  Now, they should be able to start right on time with the rest of us!

Now there were a few sneak peaks at the upcoming Valentine’s Day Event with the Kindle release…and while I’m not one to post something for the sake of posting it, I know some of you are chomping at the bit to get some Valentine’s Day Spoilers.  So let’s see just what was previewed with the Kindle Update….

New Year’s Results and A New Poll About The Best Of Event

Posted on February 4, 2015 by | 39 comments

Hello There Clammers!

A couple of weeks ago I asked for your take on the New Year’s mini-event that hit our Quahogs in early January and as usual you didn’t disappoint!  You guys really love giving your feedback on events & we love breaking it down and sharing your opinions with TinyCo!  You know they’re listening…especially with the latest Best of 2014 Event!

We’ll get to the results of the New Year’s Poll in a minute, but first I wanted to get your take on the Best of Event.  Since TinyCo really responded to what a lot of you wanted to return (as evident by our what do you want to see return post), we want to see how it all turned out.  What did you buy?  What were you missing? What was your take on the event?  Please take a moment to answer the poll questions below…

 

If you’re having trouble completing the form as it’s embedded here, try use the direct poll link here. 

Now let’s get to those New Year’s Results…

Quahog Quick Walkthroughs: District 10 Part 2, State of Pure Inebriation & Who’s Ever Heard of Hopsberry

Posted on January 30, 2015 by | 98 comments

Hello There Clammers!

When we last left off our District 10 walkthroughs Pawtucket Pat decided to stop making Pawtucket Ale & Stewie dressed as a Chumba Wumba to try and sneak into the brewery to convince him otherwise.  We pick things back up with the building of the Pawtucket Mansion & Pat’s arrival in Quahog….

District 10 is where you’ll unlock the Pawtucket Brewery, Chumba Wumba Stewie and eventually Pawtucket Pat!  Plus there will be fun items to craft along the way.

Remember unlocking characters and crafting items in the Pawtucket Brewery District will take a lot of patience, as the list of “stuff” required to unlock is longer and the quantities of each are greater.  Take your time, try not to get frustrated when the items don’t appear.  Try a different task to unlock the item, or try working on a different item.

So let’s pick our walkthrough back up with Peter as he tries to convince Pat to beer back to Quahog…

Posted on January 27, 2015 by | 37 comments

Hello There Clammers!

Well we’re nearing the end of the Workout Regime Event and suffering through #snowmageddon here in the Northeast of the US.  So what better way to end out the event and kill some time while snowed in than doing a little heavy lifting with Steroid Stewie? (Update at 530am EST..#snowmageddon has turned into #failmageddon.)

Steroid Stewie is a limited-time premium skin for Stewie that’s part of the Phineas and Barnaby Event.  For those of you still deciding if you should purchase him you can check out Bunny’s Do I Want That Post here, but make sure you make your final decision soon….as he’ll leave our Quahogs with the event later today.  For those that have purchased him, let’s take a look at the quick quick walkthrough that will popup for you once purchased…

Create Your Own: Zoo Scene

Posted on January 23, 2015 by | 27 comments

Hello There Clammers!

One of the best things about the Quest for Stuff game is that it allows for design creativity.   No two towns in this game are alike because each Quahog is uniquely created by YOU!  Sometimes the best feature of an animation (or lack there of) not working the way you want it to is it gives you a chance to show off your own creativity!

Last weekend TinyCo ran a limited time Epic Animal Event…because who doesn’t want a flaming chicken running around their Quahog?  (Fried Chicken anyone?)   So with the new animals, combined with the old ones (like the Coked up Giraffe, Lawn Tiger etc) and our very own Quahog Zoo we want to see what you’ve come up with for a Zoo scene.  So let’s see what you’ve done to turn your Tiny Quahogs into a Tiny Zoo (see what I did there, TinyPeeps?)

Use items from events past and present to make it happen…

Coked Up Giraffe 3decoration_lawntiger_thumbnailbuilding_quahogZoo@4x    Flaming Chicken Blow up

Show us your creativity!  All you have to do is upload a screenshot of that area of your Quahog and post a link (via Dropbox, Flickr or any other site you like to use) in the comments below!  So what are you waiting for ?  Show us your stuff!

Here’s a look at something from our very own Bunny’s town:

zoo1

Mmmm Fried Chicken….

ok so it’s more a funny picture of Flaming Chickens then a Zoo Scene…but you get the idea 😉 

Now it’s YOUR turn!  Show us what you’ve done.  Post links to your Zoo Scenes in the comments below, we can’t wait to see your designs!

STAY TUNED..We’ve got something pretty fun in mind for next week’s Create Your Own.  Here’s a hint…it has to do with the Super Bowl AND we’ll be giving away free stuff!  Be on the look out for it next week…
