Gameplay

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 1

The Holidays are here again? It seems like only yesterday I was tapping on my house and changing the design from "Christmas" to "plain." And so much snow! Hey, EA! Ever hear of global warming? The whole "White Christmas" thing doesn't really happen anymore. Lisa, everyone knows EA is overrun with global warming deniers. Every cent of profit from their games goes to support anti-environment think tanks. Fun fact! There's a big crate outside our house addressed to "Resident". Is that for us? Well, I don't mean to brag, but... yeah, it's true. Your old man is a "Resident". Been one my whole life. It's pretty sweet. Sorry we never told you you're descended from Residents. Your mother and I didn't want it to go to your head. You'd naturally want to lord it over other, less-fortunate kids at school. Yeah, thanks a bunch. I really just want to know what's inside the crate. The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 1" which is to "Build the Present Depot". The player receives total 20 and 10 in reward. Two thousand bucks shipping and handling for just a funny-looking metal coat rack? It's a Christmas Tree... I think.

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 2

There's a memo attached to the bottom of the purchase order slip. "Dear Resident, due to a stack overflow error with the Naughty&Nice record of one Bartholomew J. Simpson, all of Springfield has been erroneously rated "Naughty" for the last ten years." "To rectify the situation, Claus Co is required to provide presents for the town of Springfield until this deficit have been made up." "Please accept this present delivery depot. Best Regards, The Claus Co Public Relations Department. Also, Global Warming is a hoax." Stupid stack overflow errors! Hey programmers, give your recursive functions the correct termination conditions! Sheesh! Uh, Dad? How do you know any of those words? I don't! But the people who write for me are colossal nerds. They think stuff like that's hilarious. Stupid nerds! The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 2" which is to "Collect presents (x10)". The player receives total 20 and 10 in reward.

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 3

They're full of gift cards... I love getting gift cards! They let me choose the gift I want. Or, I can put them in a dresser drawer, forget they exist, and get nothing. Which is what happens 99.9% of the time. The choice is mine! They say they're redeemable at a store called "ClausCo." ClausCo? Never heard of them. But then again, there's lots of things I've never heard of. Like the Higgs Boson, for example. I've sure never heard of that thing! Anyway, free stuff is free stuff. Let's celebrate! The player receives "Too Much of A Good Thing Pt. 3" which is to "Make Homer Make a Snowman" and "Make Lisa make Snow Angels".

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 4

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Hey, Apu! Can I pay for stuff at your store with ClausCo gift cards? Do you think me for a fool? Those gift cards are a totally unknown commodity.

Mr. Flanders, your charitable impulses are admirable. But everyone is being bombarded with free money. Why not spend those gift cards on yourself for once? Well, there is one purchase I've been dreaming of. But it's so totally indulgent... The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 5" which is to "Make Ned Buy New Throw Pillows". It takes 12 hours and the player receives total 62 and 110 in reward.

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 6

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark Ah, Christmas. That frenetic orgy of desperate, credit-ruining spending. How it warms the heart of the non-Christian shop owner. If these Jesus Boosters just enjoyed the season, it would be fine. But they're miserable. Every last one of them. Yoo-hoo! Christians! Your silly holidays make no sense! Now, in honor of the Hindu celebration of Pancha Ganapati, I leave this offering of fruit to the five-faced elephant god, Ganesh. Because that's just common sense.

How am I gonna know I'm better than everyone else if I don't have loads more money? In what sense are you rich? You owe millions to the mob! How do you know about my gambling debts?

Halls decked to perfection, figgy pudding bursting with figs, wassail freaking everywhere. Everybody donning their gayest apparel, songs of good cheer around the piano, until Dad says something that Mom mishears as a crack about her weight, and then the mood gets icy real fast... Actually, it all sounds pretty terrible. Think I'm going to find another use for these cards.

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Come on, kids! The Simpsons are eating out tonight! What's the occasion? The happiest occasion there is: money. Only a colossal sucker eats at home when he has money! I thought you liked mom's cooking. I love it! And wherever we go, the food won't measure up. It will taste worse, yet be loaded with calorie-rich, high-fat gunk from parts of animals we'd rather not know exist. Yet none of that matters. Because I will be served by someone who laughs at my jokes and pretends I'm wonderful. All because they want some of my charming money. And don't forget — the kiddies get off-brand crayons!

Remember this simple rule, and the evening will go better. After the task is complete I'm pretty sure that was the meal that kills me. And I couldn't be happier. No offense, Dad, but watching you and everyone in that restaurant gorge themselves was kind of disgusting. Couldn't be happier...

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 11

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Moe's is packed! This whole town is drunk! We couldn't afford it till now. When money's no object, why would anyone choose to be sober? We're all super charming and fun now! And, yes, vehicular homocides have ticked up. But when you're drunk, it just doesn't matter.

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Hey Wiggum! You want a sandwich? I bought a dozen of them. You know, like the rich guy I now am. Rich guys always buy as much of something as possible, so you can tell them apart from poors. I think it's one of the wealthy's best qualities. Thanks. Hey, have you noticed that when you don't have to work for a living, you end up with a lot of time to kill? Well, I find eating sandwiches to be a rewarding way to fill the time. Other people may turn to reading, or spending time with loved one. But as for me, sandwiches. I never realized you were so wise.

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Everybody get up! It's time to go shopping! We need to get to those sales! Sales? Dad, it's 6 AM and money has lost all meaning so sales are pointless.

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Look at what these holiday gift cards have done to this town, Dad. We're falling apart! Sweetie, did you ever think maybe a town constructed of money and donuts isn't meant to last forever? It's the Seven Deadly Sins on parade! We eat all the time — that's Gluttony. We lie around drinking all day — that's Sloth! We fight each other to buy everything in sight — Greed! That's only three sins. Four more to go — including some of the funnest ones! Wrath, Lust, Pride– ooh, and Envy! Let's not pull the plug until I've had a chance to get in some sweet, sweet envying. The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 17" which is to "Make Lisa Destroy Gift Cards". It takes 60 minutes.

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 18

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Lisa! Why are you destroying the mysterious windfall from an unknown benefactor that has poisoned this once-peaceful small town? Well, uh, you just explained it pretty well. Thanks! But we gotta be careful. People love those cards, and you know how quickly angry mobs form in this town. They're destroying gift cards! Kill the Simpsons! Hey, look at that! We've never had a Flanders-led mob before. When you've run from as many mobs as I have, you really appreciate novelty. The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 18" which is to "Make Lisa Hide from Springfielders", "Make Homer Hide from Springfielders", and "Make Springfielders Hunt for the Simpsons (x12)".

After sending Willie Ah, it's grand to be running, feeling the wind up my kilt, pursuing friends to their death. After the task is complete Who'd have thought people would get so mad at the thought of going from rich bug shots to regular, poor losers. Wait, why are we doing this again? People need to see that they are abandoning everything in the face of limitless buying power. The things that really matter in life aren't tangible. Oh. Yeah, I knew that... So, just so we're clear, what we're talking about will end free beer at Moe's, won't it?

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 19

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Claus Co is at the heart of all this trouble. But who are they? Hmmm... There's some terms and conditions printed on the back of these gift cards. "Pursuant to the clause stated in paragraph 5, ..." Dad! These conditions are even worse than a cell phone company's! They're almost as draconian as the makers of popular mobile devices, such as phones and tablets! The same devices upon which people play freemium games! Anyone who'd waste their time on that junk deserves whatever's coming to them. The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 19" which is to "Make Lisa Read Fine Print". It takes 12 hours.

Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 20

Dad, I found a loophole. Claus Co gift cards are only good for approximately 5 weeks. All this credit will be useless before the end of January. Then Springfield will go back to normal. Gee, it hardly seems worth it murdering anybody over five lousy weeks. Six or seven, sure. But not five. Well, maybe now we can all go back to celebrating the holidays the way we should — by gathering with family and friends. And sneaking off whenever possible to grind out all those sweet Claus Co prizes before five weeks is up! The player receives "Too much of a Good Thing Pt. 20" which is to "Collect Presents (x50)".

The Once and Future King Pt. 5

After tapping on Plow King's exclamation mark I've sacrificed so much to become Plow King. I've lot my best friend. My principles. Some would say, any shred of human decency I once possessed. Do I have any regrets? Perhaps. I regret that Homer made me do all this by having a plow too. I wish I'd handled the situation better. For example, I could have low-balled the guy I paid to shut off Homer's phone. But when you get down to it, I wish I'd learned years ago how to blow up trucks, because then I could have blown up Homer's myself. Instead of hiring Fat Tony to do it. That would have saved some serious cash. I've changed, you say? I suppose I have. I've grown, certainly. And if leaving Homer's son alive to one day avenge his father's honor makes me "foolish," then so be it. I'm not in the murder business. And if I change my mind, Fat Tony IS in the murder business, and I have his private number. The player receives "The Once and Future King Pt. 5" which is to "Make Plow King Drink to Success".
