Okay, now I really want a Futurama version of this type of game. ---

I built the Queen and the Hut, but in doing so used some of the candy bars I still needed for the Grand Pumpkin, so I’m about 45 short there. If I get everything I need crafted I’ll probably try to crank out more spooky wall sections to enclose my Spooky House. ---

I am trying to get enough stuff to build the donut torture device (I didn’t play nearly enough to get it for free), but I doubt I’ll make it, especially if I buy the Spooky House to finish a Hugo quest. I can probably get the Spooky House or the Rigelian Queen, but not both. Which would you recommend between the two? ---

I like the Spooky House better, but it only has one task that is inside. The Queen has a visible task for Kang AND Kodos (together or separate). Plus for everyone who’s not going to get something, you can always spend donuts to speed things up, buy candy on the weekends. It’s not over yet. Plus it’s very likely things will be back next year. They’re not necessarily gone forever on the 12th and only attainable through grinding. ---

I’m so behind, so I’m shamelessly whoring myself out to any and all friend requests. 😃 I have this on my phone now, too. Speaking of, where was the last username list posted? ---

Are we already friends? I’m **jsteck13** in Origin. And a big update just6 dropped. Matt Groening and a writer’s office is added as well a premium rabbit. This is something tied to this weekend’s show. ---

Hurray, an update. Yeah the update is tied into Sundays show where the Simpsons do a crossover with Futurama. ---

I’m over 11K on strings now, so hopefully I’ll have that little glowing SOB traipsing around my Springfield before the weekend’s over. ---

That will be cool – remember keep watching the skis! I also just realized that I am a mere 3 days and 7 hours away from Spuckler kid #3. I am very excited about this. I splurged and bought a couple lottery tickets so I could buy the rabbit. This better be worth it _shakes fist angrily_ ---

My last Spuckler is due on Tuesday. Woo hoo! I’ve got The Creator wandering around my town now and I splurged on the Super Collider, mostly so I could get the black hole. Spent a LOT of donuts this season: SC/BH, tentacle tree, drive-in, Witch Marge, Bad Dream House. ---

I still need something like 4500 strings, so I don’t think I’ll reach the last prize. S’OK; I’m feeling a little, well, tapped out at this point. ---

Actually if you have over 10,000 strings today you are on track [according to the calendar](http://tstotopix.me/tag/treehouse-of-horror/). ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > Actually if you have over 10,000 strings today you are on track [according to the calendar](http://tstotopix.me/tag/treehouse-of-horror/). I just got the Die(t) sign yesterday. Looks like no UBO for me. Serves me right for only playing twice a day (if that - one of the two times is right before I leave for work, but the game kept crashing on me when it tried to load). Then again, I am “only” at level 41; I had just enough cash to buy Vulgari and get Hibbert’s wife (IIRC), but then the Writers Room popped up… ---

It might not end on the twelfth. I wouldn’t plan on it being extended, but you might end up with extra time because it says “Ends the 12th… probably” in-game. ---

I let “Build the Krustyland Shuttle” sit on my task bar until I completed the regular task line and caught up with all the levels. I didn’t want to deal with it until then. ---

I bought the ray gun and have been delighted with the results. Having the extra ammo is super helpful! I have hit donut-filled UFOs twice now, making up some of that donut deficit. It’s looking like I’ll be able to do either the Grand Pumpkin or the donut-torture device (I don’t care about the copter). Don’t have enough loot for both. Do either come with a quest line or new tasks for anyone? ---

Do either come with a quest line or new tasks for anyone? The Donut one has the donut torture for Homer. It’s 36 hours long. The Pumpkin has a 20 hour thing for Milhouse. It’s less interesting.
