  1. I think the thing that bugs me the most about all of this is that the idiot in the RR had his doors unlocked. What in the hell were you thinking?
  2. I just noticed that when the power plant is haunted, Frank Grimes' ghost hovers over it. That's pretty cool. A few other buildings have their own random ghosts. Moe's has a ghost chugging beer. The prison has one in an electric chair. The library had something but I didn't look closely enough. There are some nice touches they added.
  3. Yeah, I always use them for characters. I really wish I could get back the ones I spent on Pye though. I'd love to have Disco Stu, but I don't have enough. If they do another Gil deal, I may throw in a couple bucks. But hey, it looks like we are all going to get Lard Lad and some other premium building for free thanks to the global prize for ghosts. That's what the shadow on that rewards page is, isn't it?
  4. I was about to send along the same exact message to Mrags. His town is making my app crash too. I've seen it happen one other time with someone who went way overboard on the houses. And I got a donut from a ghost yesterday too. That's the only one so far, but it was a pleasant surprise. So how did you get your 666 anyway? Just been sitting on them for a while and not spending any of them? If you do decide to use a few, don't bother with Arnie Pye. His helicopter flying around the sky is very annoying and gets in the way when you want to click on buildings.
  5. How exactly does Amazon Prime work? I've noticed it on my PS3 right next to Netflix but never gave it any thought.How much is it and is it worth it?
  6. The bathroom here has a single stall and a single urinal. A couple weeks back I was in the stall. If someone is ever in there, you know it because if the door isn't locked, it swings wide open. So if the door is close, someone is in there. So while I'm in there, someone walks into the bathroom. He slowly circled around the entire stall. He then pushed on the door to see if it was locked. After seeing that it was locked, he then asked out loud "is someone in there". What the hell? The locked door wasn't clue enough for you? I have a strict "no talking in a public restroom" rule, so I didn't answer. For a second there, I really thought the guy was going to attempt to climb under the stall walls, but I still had to stick with my rule. The whole thing was pretty creepy.
  7. That one is probably next on my list once I finish Breaking Bad. But at least you can get all the Red Green you need.
  8. I just got Netflix in September. I finished season 4 of Breaking Bad last night. My main purpose for getting it was that show and a few others I have never seen. I was hoping to get a few more movies out of the streaming service, but it is lacking a bit there. The TV shows do seem to be well worth the money though. I am about to get one unexpected result from signing up. I haven't seen an episode of Cheers in ages, so I'm looking forward to going through the entire series at some point. I was thinking mostly newer TV shows when I signed up, but I found a few other things I never even thought of.
  9. Every gremlin dropped off in a town is equal to 4 goo. If I drop one off in your town, it will be there for 4 hours or until you kill it. If you kill it, you get 2 goo and I get 2 goo. If you don't kill in during the 4 hours, I get all 4 goo. So for each gremlin you drop off, you are guaranteed at least 2. So you want to send them out as often as possible. I noticed with your town and those buildings everywhere that the gremlins can get lost. I think people might like leaving them in your town then because they are far more likely to get all 4 goo since you will have a hard time seeing them. And jboyst, you're probably thinking of me. I'm up near 1000 already. There's a guy at work who plays the game way too much while here and he had a lot of gremlins running around in my town yesterday. I'd check in and kill a few and then a few more would show up right away.
  10. I also like that someone can only have 10 gremlins running around at a time. With this system, there's no need for people sharing them back and forth. I just drop them in whatever town I see at this point, especially since it nets me at least 2 goo each time I send one out. And as for the ghosts, you can pop 5 of them in each town you visit. I've noticed though that you can get 6 or 7 if you act quickly. As you're down to one last ghost, if you move quickly, you can get any others that are close by on the screen. I also don't think it effects how many are left after you leave. Any time you show up in someone else's town, there are a ton of ghost.
  11. It seems like the gremlins do stick to roads, but they're not key to the event. They're basically the eggs from whacking day, except they run around. You also can only have 10 max running around in your town at once, so it doesn't look like people will have to pair up and trade back and forth like you did with the eggs.
  12. I like this so far. The ghosts can't hid behind buildings (gremlins can though), so it shouldn't wind up being anywhere near as tedious as whacking day was.
  13. Yeah, I haven't been back there since that ride finished, other than to pop the balloons. I just hope there aren't any tasks to go along with the ride which will get in the way of the Halloween stuff.
  14. And there is a new krustyland ride in this event
  15. Crap, I'm only on basic cable so I won't get the opener on NBC's cable channel. I do have a box though, so I'd imagine the free preview will still work for the others. I'll check it out tonight to see if any of any of the other games do show up.
  16. The holiday buildings are always cheap. They set them that way so that people who just started playing the game can buy them. It's the same reason that whenever we are able to do special tasks for the holiday, it will be characters like Homer, Lisa, Flanders, or Apu. Those are all the people you get very early in the game. mrags, what type of phone are you on? I had to download an update through the iTunes store before the game could update.
  17. I'm so tempted to speed up that first building to see where this thing goes. From the brief description I saw on the iStore description, it looks like we will have items to drop in friends' towns again.
  18. It's not the same thing obviously, but aren't there plenty of stories out there of pitchers getting tommy John surgery even though they don't need it?
  19. When I hear the term home invasion, I think of some sort of massive robbery, not storming a house with the sole intention of murder.
  20. Then he goes off on a rampage because he has a Canadian accent.
  21. You'll wind up with a bunch of other garbage posts by doing that though. People will pad post with more nonsense just to get to whatever cutoff is set.
  22. Just out of curiosity, do any of these characters actually exist in the comics? I read somewhere that they added Phil Couslon in the comics recently due to his popularity, but did any of these people exist prior to this show?
  23. I get a good laugh out of how crazy Trevor is. It probably helps that the people he hangs out with are borderline retarded. That combination works for me. I haven't reunited him with the others yet, so maybe that changes.
  24. I'm kind of liking my new found role in recent years where I don't know who the Bills play next until Monday morning.
