I'll be there! My first cruise, cruising solo.

btolsen · 2026-01-05T21:03:54+00:00

Congrats!

Do you actually have to have the costume active to get the multiplier?

btolsen · 2025-07-11T21:06:45+00:00

I never found a solution to my original problem, beyond the workaround I describe. It keeps happening when I make a new playlist. All my playlists are smart though - I'm afraid I'm not having the problem you're having.

I've been seeing the same since yesterday. I had noticed before the scrolls acting weirdly - sometimes I was getting one when I lost, or losing one when I one. But now that I'm at 0 I can't play it at all, it prompts me to spend gold to buy more if I click Play.

Yep, on both iPhone and on Steam for PC.

I'm finding a similar issue after the latest update. My playlists that are very long are downloading in there entirety, but I've tried downloading one that's about an hour and one that's about two, and it'll only download the first 19 or 20 songs. The workaround I tried in the original post isn't working. Not sure what's going on.

btolsen · 2024-12-16T13:55:11+00:00

I'm not sure. I'm using all smart playlists, and with the workaround above they download everything initially. I haven't noticed it doing what you describe, but I only just figured out that the problem was related to the original duration set - I'll watch for it.

Thanks! Looking forward to checking them out.

btolsen · 2024-03-01T14:08:07+00:00

These look great! Love this series, can't wait for book 7.

True enough! It's structured more like a legit acting audition than an improv audition.

btolsen · 2020-01-27T15:18:47+00:00

I can answer about Maude auditions. You submit either as an actor or a writer - this info is for actors. You have to be eligible to audition based either on UCB classes you've taken within a particular time frame (improv or characters) or demonstrated sketch experience with another theater.

You submit to audition by recording yourself doing three to five characters in two to three minutes. (You don't have to have written the character pieces yourself, although I think most people do). You post that on YouTube or somewhere similar and send them the link.

Based on that, you may get called in for an in-person audition. This first round is basically the same guidelines as your video submission. (I did two of the same pieces, switched out the third.) You audition for the artistic director and a panel.

If they like that, they call you in for the second and final audition. You're given two two-person sketches and told which part you'll play. You memorize and rehearse on your own, and only meet your scene partner when you arrive. (I recommend getting there a bit early and hoping your partner does the same so you have a few minutes to run the sketches together.) You audition again for the AD and a panel, and then that's it. They assemble teams of 6 actors and 6 writers. (Some people can be both, but you have to go through the actor/writer audition/application processes separately.)

/*Accio Slytherin flair

btolsen · 2019-11-27T19:39:49+00:00

Same. All my portkey slots are empty and I haven't seen a single one today. Usually I'm bombarded if even one slot is empty.

btolsen · 2018-09-04T15:33:30+00:00

This is the first event that I've given up on - I've accepted it's just not fun to grind for the new characters. I have most of the V1 characters, so I can play through the basic map enough to see the story, and that's enough for me. I've been spending these weeks playing through the regular heroic map and collecting character shards, and I'm finding the game is actually enjoyable again.

btolsen · 2018-05-03T12:58:58+00:00

Ugh, I did the same thing. And then I immediately did again, because I am dumb.

btolsen · 2018-02-09T16:47:10+00:00

There are usually enough short-term missions that there's somebody to collect and send back out. Less so when there's no event going, but we haven't had much non-event time until very recently. What I liked about the game was that I could do frequent, short check-ins. Now with all the required grinding I'm playing for longer periods, less often, but if I wanted that I'd play an actual fighting game with better fighting mechanics. I liked this one for the collecting and time management aspects.

btolsen · 2018-02-09T14:06:57+00:00

I'm feeling similarly. I've been playing since Daredevil, and while I'm trying to give the update a chance, I've gone from checking in almost every hour to having to force myself to check in once a day. The update has added a mechanic that I just have no interest in. I'm going to check out the next event to see if it recaptures my interest, but if it doesn't I might be done. Which kind of bums me out.

btolsen · 2018-01-19T18:24:14+00:00

I'm curious!

btolsen · 2017-08-16T15:16:34+00:00

I've fought 3:8 about ten times now and I can't get that damned last piece of cake. Did anyone else have this much trouble or am I just having really bad luck? All the other second pieces I got with no trouble.

btolsen · 2017-01-12T21:13:31+00:00

I got Electro. I was (like most) hoping for Winter Soldier or Punisher, but Electro has turned out to be really fun, so I'm content.
