Hello weevils!
It's that time of the month again - oh boy, the time 55Pixels flash off a load of distasteful stuff for me to rant about. Bring on the highlights!

So we start off with the features on the other completely different game that is oddly still being promoted on Bin Weevils and we start with the new game 'Bubble Blast'. Now, I had a go myself (and completed all 55 levels at once in 2 hours!) and I have to say, I find this game is pretty decent and I thought it was a brilliant idea for a sort of game to bring out but unfortunately, this wasn't brought out on Bin Weevils so I can't really give it the full praise being that this site is called 'Bin Weevils Rant Central' and it is a real shame cause it could have counted as an actual update to the game rather than a repetition of recycled junk. The only problems I had with Bubble Blast was that I am 90% sure that a few levels actually require the purchase of a power-up or intense luck and also that there aren't really many challenges spread out and can get quite tedious when you are constantly doing either 'Rescue the starfish' or 'Remove 6 bubbles from the top' but other than that, it was not bad at all!
Then we have the buddy messenger being made online by which I thought was a pretty dumb idea not to have had online in the first place but hey, what do you expect from a team that doesn't even care about their own players? We then also have the continuous profiting from a game in BETA no other than 'Transformers' by which this promotional monstrosity is somehow 'fun' and we have new nest items being implemented which being that it is on Weevil World and not Bin Weevils, I guess it's not too much (yet).
And it tops off with a kind of major update of the clothes shop finally opening on the game even though I reckon it should have been added a long time ago considering the freaking promotional clothing managed to get onto the game first (capitalism at it's finest) and some petty 'Holiday Home Showcase' which I really don't want to go into due to how useless it is and how it is merely the replacement of Best Nest after Bin Weevils goes bye bye. It then gets interesting when a 'new video series' is announced by which being as it is in the Weevil World section of the highlights, this will probably be 55Pixels moving their cringe style videos onto their new game and don't you wonder what it could be? Perhaps it's Bin Banter set in the Weevil World universe (giving me perfect bootleg opportunities!) or their Q&A but set based around Weevil World (which would be kinda pointless considering there isn't much to ask about since Weevil World hasn't been out for even a year yet) but whatever it may be, it will most likely be embarrassing for 55Pixels so I have no idea why you would put yourself through all that. Oh well.
Now onto Bin Weevils, we hav- oh great, the Summer Fair 2015 I mean 2016 I mean 2017! Yes, from what seems to be the exact same Summer Fair as before! They say not to judge a book by it's cover but seeing as they have not presented anything new for the fair, the idea of it being recycled is the only conclusion I can really make and seeing as the Bin Weevils Summer Fair has been recycled several times before, I doubt we could ever expect anything completely new from the beginning! I guess I could still get some entertainment from games such as Duck Shooter or Bin Pet Bounce but that is not the point considering they not long ago called it 'Project SF17' and as predicted by me, it will simply be a press of a button and TA-DAH! The exact same Summer Fair as before will be loaded onto the game with nothing in it for it to be called a 'Project' like seriously 55Pixels, you've failed to define words such as 'criticism', 'bin', 'dirt', 'hacked' etc and now this! I'm starting to doubt you have really had much interaction with any dictionaries.
We then have 'Hem's Hat's Haturdays' continued for ANOTHER freaking month as if it is normal to have sales like that going on for too long and yet it is apparently 'Back by popular demand' by which I still haven't found anyone in the community who has asked for this to return. Oh, and of course, if you really were to look into the 'popular demands' category within the player base, you'd find that King of the Bin, revival of old Bin Weevils models (so it makes it actually look like a bin one more), more games, more nest rooms etc have had a huge demand over the past seven years and yet you somehow fail to pick up on that but find no issue seeing players want some mini hat sale back? I mean really? You think were that stupid?
And then it ends with a nice code to use by which was quite fortunate of them considering I had to use Dosh in order to complete some of the levels on 'Bubble Blast' since it'd have been impossible to complete without so smart move there!
That's it for this post!
