Hello weevils!
Since there are two important issues to focus on around this time, I thought since two of these topics link together, I will merge both topics into one giant post! As always, be prepared for the length!

Right, this month, 55Pixels have pulled off the record of the shortest ever highlights ever recorded with only four things listed! Let me begin with Weevil Weekly.
Weevil Weekly was a widely loved virtual magazine that players enjoyed reading but after the 210th issue, the team became more lazy and decided to no longer make it. Years later, it returns. But whats the issue exactly? Well first off, players had spent years asking for Weevil Weekly to come back but had no luck and now that 55Pixels have finally decided to bring it back, the majority of the community have been driven out by 55Pixels destroying the whole meaning and context of the game, meaning there is now barely anyone who is even going to enjoy it. Secondly, it is only coming back for 4 issues (*claps*) so it's only going to be a month until Scribbles goes back to his old ways and saying 'I write on the blog now'. Oh, and what is there even to report on if there is only four highlights highlighted this month? It's as if the new issues are going to be somewhat 7 pages each!
Moreover, they have thought that doing year old missions repeated several times by many players but with celebrity weevils would be a cool new thing to do! Apparently re-visiting the old WEB storyline and re-playing it is going to somehow 'defeat the WEB' in which the name itself isn't even introduced in 'Danger at Dosh's Palace' and Octeelia herself appears right at the end of 'Laboratory Lockdown' after revealing her true identity out of a disguise everyone knows! Oh and did I mention that you need to be a Bin Tycoon in order to do this event we've all been waiting for? Yes, isn't it worth paying £4.95 to play with adults sitting on a desk whilst they are being paid to play this kids game with you? I mean, it's as if unicron and drew are some form of celebrity that everyone wants to interact with!
So overall, just two features within these highlights appeal to the free players so make sure to make the most out of the four weevil weekly magazines and the safer internet day event throughout these 25 days! Oh and one tip for safer internet day: maybe don't go on Bin Weevils cause it has a lot of swearing and sexual movement along with online dating going on and surely, that is enough to not be a safe site right?
Right, let me move onto my next topic. Disney had just recently announced that Club Penguin will be closing down on March 29th and sadly, Disney deleted my well built Club Penguin account so I can't do some last Card-Jitsu games but that's another issue which won't be addressing in this post. Disney will now make way for their newest mobile game of 'Club Penguin Island' which is basically a replacement of Club Penguin.
With that in hand, I am now able to compare Bin Weevils to another closing down scenario that isn't just the Toontown closure. As the February highlights show, there is only one thing standing out on the post and that one thing is Weevil World - the game that operates as a mobile relaunch of you guessed; Bin Weevils!
From seeing the closing process of Club Penguin, maybe it would make sense for Bin Weevils to close for Weevil World? I mean, they are promoting Beta access to Bin Tycoon members meaning that they are encouraging the engaged players to play the game. Unlike 55Pixels's other games, they did not promote it as far as allowing subscribers of Bin Weevils exclusively play the games early.
Now of course, Bin Weevils barely has anybody still playing and has achieved a negative loss in profit but that doesn't mean CEOs with pound shaped eyes like Richard Watney can't afford to buy a TV advert promoting Weevil World when it comes out. And once Weevil World has an engaged community, Bin Weevils will simply go bye bye. Everything itself is moving to mobile and flash games themselves are going out of fashion. I mean, I think Animal Jam is literally competing itself at this rate because with Club Penguin being killed, there are no other games that stand aside it with a huge popularity. Moshi Monsters is no more and I do not need to even repeat myself over how Bin Weevils is currently going.
So, is Weevil World going to replace Bin Weevils just like how Club Penguin Island is going to replace Club Penguin? If I were you, I'd take this as a warning of closure and prepare for the future.
Now I'm going to have a rant about society in general. Everything that is being loved or hated on the computer is now being transferred onto mobile devices and I myself completely dislike how this is happening. I mean, the screens on mobile phones and tablets are smaller than of that you see on a monitor and the interface on these devices (A.K.A. your finger) is a so much more irritating way of controlling certain functions. Using those screen arrow keys that are found in games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition simply make me wanna throw the phone across the wall due to how easy it is to accidentally move in a direction that opposes the direction you want to move. For as much as I am a former member of the Green Party, the environmental advantages of using phones over computers is simply nothing compared to the carbon dioxide emissions given out by meat farming, transport, industry etc. So I myself am worried about the future of PCs.
With apologies for making you miss your 70th birthday, I think it is now time to wrap it up!
That's it for this post!
