I agree, it is absurd for them to give us a garbage sponsor game for one of their long term special events. It sickens me that they're using this to force me to play their sponsor games which they spend about 5 minutes making.

If I wanted to see the stupid movie, I'd go see the movie, playing a game about it doesn't make me want to see it any more than I already didn't.

While I'm not good at Whack-a-Kass, this is definitely a "forced play" of the sponsor game, unless you want to give up one of the uber prizes. Not cool, TNT...not cool. The only bright side is the cute plushie.

Arrgh. I got the Mimzy game. Never played before, so I did the "practice". Somehow after one of the games, my score (40:( ) was submitted repeatedly. The screen was flashing and I got the "Your score submittal will be reviewed" or something before it vanished. Then it said "You've submitted your maximum for today. Play again tomorrow". I'm now screwed for the challenge, because I cannot submit any more scores today. :x

Awww...both prizes are really cute. Since it's the weekend I wonder if the prices will stay up or plummet? (is that spelled right?)

"Congratulations, you won your challenge!
AAA has awarded you Whack-A-Kass Windsock."

This was the easiest AAA-challenge yet. Or at least for them who have beaten all the levels and can use the bat - as this easily gives you over 800 with just one try/hit. No wonder it's sold for only ~1000NP (going steadily cheaper) @ SW.

Even though I played the Mimzy game, this and the TNMT loading-game ad really ticked me off. It's just too far, you know?
All this superplacement is starting to get on my nerves. The Pair Compare games are just easy Neopoints that take no skill--this game cheapens the idea of the Daily Dare as a "challenge."
The plushies and other real-life stuff didn't bother me, because it didn't affect the site gameplay. 10 of the 19 "new games" are sponsor games, but again--you don't have to play them. The top banner ads are irritating, but there are ways to get around them. The loading image being replaced by an ad was a very unpleasant surprise, because it forces you to look at an ad until your game's loaded.
But creating a game-playing challenge, waiting for people to invest their time and energy in it, and then inserting a sponsor game? That's low.
I can only sum it up with the following picture:

How do you guys call this easy?
I can't get over 370. I'll have no choice but to challenge Abigail now.

I took screenshots of the pictures and their circled differences, then just waited to get three of the ones I'd screenied in a row. It takes time, not skill.

Yeah, screenshots are really easy. They give you 3 free differences ("hints" :P) of the 4 differences, lol. So just use those up, SS it, and you can either try to find the last on your own, or input the ones you already know the next time you get it to find the last one.

Well, I feel dirty, but 17/17 AAA launch days.

I <3 the Strawberry Snowbunny Plushie though, so it's cool.... this time. :P

so, is it only residents of the US that are getting Mimzy, and the rest of the world is getting Whack-a-Kass?

Thats....devious. (not to mention really annoying!) I I want the snowbunny plushie!

I don't know about this, but maybe if you change your user preferences to the United States before challenging, then you could get Mimzy? I tried doing it, but it makes sense that I can't change after collecting the prize. :P
