    Well, if you're going to claim you are not dumb, start with *we're* I'll just leave the rest of the word salad alone.

    I am definitely stealing the term "word salad." I love that.

    Hey look, another long, pointless "Grandpa Rant" from the OP that I didn't read.

    A giant ship that takes up tons of water. It wouldn't be awful except that I intend to cover all of the water with tiles so it sucks for my town.

    And that stupid casino! Couldn't even buy it. Know why? IT'S SO FREAKING LONG THAT I CANNOT FIT IT WITHIN THE SPACE I HAVE AVAILABLE. Time to consolidate more buildings in my town. Yay!

    And 40 donuts for a sign for the Casino? Is EA on some funny drugs? 40 donuts??? For a sign??? I bet the casino already has a small sign attached to the building itself. What a joke. And it comes with a character that no one has ever heard of.

    And I really hope Homer shuts up with the racist joke. He made that joke 7 times in a 30 second dialogue. I also don't like Lisa's new skin. Skins always suck, but this one sucks more than most.

    And of course, no new land.

    Thanks for nothing, EA.
    Another SCATHING review by Josh. :D

    I've learned that the harsher Josh is towards an update, the more he actually enjoys it.

    I'm with ya, Josh! It SUCKS!! It really sucks. :wink:

    I know Josh just does these now because it's his thing, and it's expected, but I kinda agree with him this time.

    I have been playing since the original launch (before the game was taken off the store for bugs) and have always enjoyed the updates. I've also bought almost all the premiums when I can afford them.

    This update is ridiculous for premium items. Someone who has played last thanksgiving, is still looking at 355 donuts (Maths may be wrong, did that in my head without looking at prices) for the premium items, compared to 25000 for the non premium items. 5 premium, 2 non premium. How is that not ridiculous?

    This time around I'm not buying it all. I bought 300 donuts and will get what I can from that. At what point will we get to an update where the entire update requires donuts?

    Sorry for the rant guys, I know it sounds petty, but since EA reads these forums maybe they might read this and notice they may start to lose customers by going all premium.

    I bought the ship without hesitasion. I could do without the rest.

    I thought the was supposed to be a Duff brewery sale this fall and am still holding on to Halloween donuts in hopes of that.

    I'm not complaining because EA brought back last year's balloons and kept them cash.

    You're a f**king idiot. It's a small minor update what do you expect? Just because the ship and the casino don't fit in with your plans doesn't make it a bad update. Why do even bother to continue to play you ungrateful, moany ****?

    You know the ship is the only non-limited-time item. You could have bought it next year if you wanted.

    Every update is proportionally better for me depending on how much Josh hates it.

    If I were to 100% despise an update and Josh felt the same that additional factor would instantly make the update barely adequate for me.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? You don't remember him showing bart his future? Bart is a burnout, living with ralph. Lisa is potus and homer is digging up the white house lawn looking for Lincoln's treasure. Quality episode.

    You have a very twisted mind. This board was designed for people to come together in celebration over TSTO, not for you to cry about it.

    Quality episode?

    Well, in the vein of 'Zero is a percentage', one might say that 'Bad is a quality'.

    (Disclosure: I still couldn't resist the limited time character/building combination.)

    If you wish people would stop giving Josh attention, why are you reading a thread he started and even post a reply?

    Hey Josh,

    I love your posts because you usually get the updates before me and this way I'm already prepared for what comes next.

    My gripe: I had last year's 5 balloons in a semi circle around the bus crash. Itchy and scratchy look quite menacing with their weapons out. I have the swat team, an ambulance, a police car and the news truck all standing by. I even had added a pita truck for all the gawkers. I now have to completely rethink the whole thing to get the new balloons in.

    The upside (if you can call it that): for people who have to have every thing the new items are 'only' 235 donuts. Typical/major events can run 500 to 600 donuts.

    PS Lance, careful with the Dr. Pepper. Who knows what's in that stuff. Sugar mostly, which might be a good thing - matches Josh's disposition.
