Bart Simpson #94 is the latest comic in the Bart Simpson series.
“Rainier Wolfcastle applies some method acting to his newest film role and follows Bart around school to get inside the mind of child, but it doesn’t take long for the action hero to become fascinated with another subject — Nelson Muntz! Plus, add in a little Crazy Cat Lady and a Bart/SpongeBob SquarePants mash-up.”
3.3m saw Elon Musk display a hacked game of Tapped Out on his computer.A disappointing night for The Simpsons last night, with “The Musk Who Fell to Earth” only receiving 3.29 million viewers at 8pm, a 1.4/4 18-49 rating/share, the least-watched show in its timeslot, clearly suffering the brunt from the last episode, “Bart’s New Friend”‘s clash with the Golden Globes 2 weeks ago, which only got 4.28m and was down over 6m from its previous episode of 10.6m of “The Man Who Came to Be Dinner”.
This is now the lowest rated episode of this season, bumping “Covercraft”, with 3.45m, to second place.
Official ratings on Tuesday adjusted the overnight rating down from 3.40m to 3.29m.
Two new promotional images for the episode “The Musk Who Fell To Earth“(the Elon Musk episode that airs on January 25) have been released. There have also been released two sneak peeks for the episode:
It’s been 20 years since we were told the story of Maggie’s birth, and how Homer juggled jobs with a low-paid job at the bowling alley and his the never-ending loop of getting fired and re-hired at the power plant. January 22, 1995 was the day of “And Maggie Makes Three”
It’s also been 20 years since this heart-warming moment appeared on our screens:
And so Homer decided to, instead of being reminded he can’t quite his job at the plant again, fill up the plaque Burns installed with photos of Maggie, rendering Maggie unforgettable.
P.S. Even though his workstation is filled with photos of Maggie he seems to forget her every so often nowadays, frequently missing her out and constantly talking about his two kids.
P.S.S. So, how often has Homer quit his job at the power plant even after Burns installed the plaque telling him he’ll never quit or leave again?
“When Marge gets fed up with the thankless duty of chauffeuring her kids around, she begins working as a driver for a transportation app service. Meanwhile, Homer bankrupts Moe when he watches over the bar for one night, which forces Moe to take a temporary job as a janitor at the nuclear plant.”
And, here we go, our first tie-in post of this blog! An episode tie-in for Tapped Out for the episode “The Musk Who Fell To Earth“, set to air in the States on Sunday, has just been released about an hour and a half ago – and on a Wednesday! Usually tie-ins come out on a Thursday.
Now, down to brass tacks, and the questline opens with Homer thinking he’s watching some fat guy on the TV, but it turns out to be his own reflection, as the power’s been out. It then moves onto Lisa organizing a mob and a committee to try to change Mr. Burns’ mind – who’s set on a “VIP access” to his power.
Hey, Dad, come quick! Mr. Burns still has power! – Lisa Literally or figuratively? – Homer Don’t answer, just get me my angry mob pants. – Homer You lost your angry mob pants during yesterday’s angry mob. – Lisa Then get me my church pants. I’m usually pretty angry there too. – Homer
You then get a prompt to purchase the Manual Power Generator, only $2000, which allows you to unlock Slave Labor Willie, a new costume for Willie which opens up a whole new questline – but his first task is to power the Manual Power Generator for 24 hours. Ironic how his costume is called “Slave Labor Willie” yet he isn’t forced into it. Whatever.
His 4h “Subsist on Gruel” task is unlocked later in his questline.
There’s three new premium decorations as well, with the Red Electric Car, the Yellow Electric Car and the Blue Electric car, costing 35, 40 and 45 Donuts respectively.
Some new info as well – the Friends screen graphical glitch has been fixed and the Red Brick Wall is back to normal size but there’s no news on the others I reported!
All this is available until until January 28, 2015 at 8am (GMT)! For more information and to read (some of) the questline, check out our wiki page!
“Homer accidentally invents the most powerful vacuum cleaner on Earth and teams up with door-to-door salesman Gil Gunderson to peddle his wares. Meanwhile, when Bart and his pals get in trouble and are assigned to help out Groundskeeper Willie, the school handyman has enough extra time on his hands to earn his GED and teacher’s credential. In no time, he becomes Springfield Elementary‘s most sought after substitute teacher. With so much sanitizing getting done, this is, hands down, the cleanest comic you’ll read all year!”
What is Queen Helvetica up to? Has she become the evil prince from Frozen or something?! It appears there’s a major issue in Tapped Out at the moment with characters, buildings and decorations disappearing. I haven’t personally experienced anything like this (apart from during Clash of Clones where I never received a Recycled Wall for a prize and EA said they’d put it in my Inventory and they hadn’t) so it appears to just be certain players. You…!Some of the issues include characters sent on tasks never appearing again, including in the Town Hall census and the Character Locator icon, buildings becoming available for purchase again in the Store, “$” signs appearing over non-existent buildings, buildings not earning rewards, tasks of certain lengths of time becoming locked, buildings becoming transparent after The Castle of Equalia was placed and graphical glitches appearing in the Friends menu. It also appears to be maybe something to do with corrupted downloads and game saves. EA have recently been overhauling folder structures within the DLC files (downloadable content) and compacting them, so maybe code has been messed up there. Another reported cause may be the changes in item sizes, like the Red Brick Wall.
There’s a big forum on EA Answers here if you wanna sound off to those in charge. If you want to make a complaint straight to EA, click here but login with your Origin account to get somewhere.
Researching this I found that TSTO Addicts recommend trying to clear the area where the glitches are occurring most frequently.
In the meantime, don’t fret. EA’s probably on it.
Well, this wasn’t something they promised in the poem during the Christmas takedown, was it?
And that’s it for this Glitch Patrol! Sorry it’s a bit succinct, but there’s really nothing else we can report about this major glitch, there’s no fix yet. See you next time something’s up in the world of Tapped Out!
