Play Store Update: Halloween Pre-Launch

Posted on October 2, 2014 by | 271 comments

Update 9 AM EDT: Update is also live on iOS now, so be sure to download it.  Any of our Kindle friends want to chime in to let us know if they have the new version too?

Also, some reports of crashing going on when installing the newest update.  This could be like Comic-Con where if you have an older device the game won’t run on it.  It’s a ton of content that requires a lot of memory and space to run…..so older devices that can’t support it will crash.

UPDATE BUNNY 330 AM EDT: From TinyCo via their FB…

Hello There Clammers!

Much like with Comic-Con we’ve gotten ourselves a little pre-launch update for Halloween.  A new splash screen and icon but that’s it so far….

Family Guy Halloween Splash Screen

If this is like Comic-Con the “switch” should be flipped once #DrunkProgrammerKevin sobers up in the morning!  (for Comic-Con it was about 7:30am).  Once we see some new content we’ll get it up for you, but for now my suggestion is get some rest….you’ll want to be well rested for Ghostbusting in the morning! 🙂

Oh and here’s a look at the new description for a look at what’s in store for us…

What are YOUR first impressions of the new splash screen?  Are you ready to defeat the scary ghouls? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Hello There Clammers!

TinyCo’s been busy the last couple of days posting spoilers and hints about what’s to come for Halloween 2014….

First, they teased it on Twitter…and Bunny wrote a whole post about that and speculation for what’s to come.

Then we got a Pink Brian Sneak Peek….have you unlocked him yet?

And yesterday we saw this posted on their Facebook….with the word “Soon”…TQGSFB

 

Now today TinyCo has yet another suspicious posting on their Facebook page….

Endless Summer Ended, Not Kool!

Posted on September 30, 2014 by | 272 comments

Update 11:00pm EDT: Looks like Kool-Aid Man is back in the game!  You now have 24hrs to finish collecting him.  This MORE than makes up for the time glitch many were experiencing.  Good Luck!

Update 2:40pm EDT: Per TinyCo: “There was a bug that caused him to end at local time, rather than PDT. We’re looking into bringing him back for 24 hours, so players can finish him.”

They’re working on it…for now if you’ve experienced this glitch and haven’t yet reported it…send in an in-game ticket so they know exactly who is impacted.

Oh and Kool-Aid Man is now Voiced!!!!

Hello There Clammers,

Busting in with a quick glitch report that MANY of you are reporting on…the Kool-Aid Man’s Quest is GONE!  Kool Aid Man Train 90's Style 4

According to many of you the ability to unlock Kool-Aid Man has disappeared from your game.

Not Kool.  Not Kool AT ALL!

So here’s the deal…Yes, Kool-Aid Man was supposed to end today (9/30).  BUT he was supposed to end at 3pm PDT, which is in (just under) 9hrs from now.  However, it seems there’s been a timer glitch in many games causing him to disappear at 3pm local time NOT PDT.  So if this is the case for you…report it to TinyCo.  (info on contacting them here)

Bunny and I have also reported this to TinyCo (we reported this last night…as soon as our New Zealand  friends started reporting the quest ending), so as soon as we hear something back on it we’ll let you know.  In the meantime, it’s important that if you’re experiencing this glitch to report it to TinyCo as well.  They need to see the reports coming from multiple places and not just us.  So make sure you send in the support ticket….

Are YOU experiencing this glitch?  When did the timer shut off for you?  Is it after 3pm local time or did it shut off before?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Quest for Stuff Quick Walkthroughs: District 9 Part 3…Mayor West

Posted on September 29, 2014 by | 210 comments

Hello there Clammers!

We last left off our walkthrough Stewie and Brian had just freed Vinny…in hopes he could lead them to their missing Plutonium!  Of course Vinny just swindled them out of a bunch of stuff…oh and he got  a new house built out of the deal!  Only to tell them Mayor West had the Plutonium.  So we restart our quest with Mayor West…and finding out what HE knows about the Plutonium…

This will be a little different than past District walkthroughs, since it will be released in stages.  So, we’ve covered part 1 here and part 2 here,  now we’ll pick things up with part 3, where we’ll unlock Mayor West…and a whole lotta Taffy!

Unlocking characters and items in the Downtown 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 Brian and Stewie and the hunt for the missing plutonium…

Posted on September 24, 2014 by | 97 comments

It looks like it is that time. Time for me to pull out my nerdy geek girl glasses, crack my knuckles, stretch out my typing fingers, put on my “thinking cap” (though I swear Alissa calls it my “dunce cap”)…it is time to get technical.

So pull up a comfy chair, grab some snacks, and your favorite beverage. You are about to go into the mind of Bunny as I show you some tips and tricks of the technical nature.
