Post by: beano150 Hi there, Bin Weevils. It's beano150 here with a post about the new Bin Weevils Buddy Messages App (Official title unknown presently, so I'm just calling it that for now).
This app is a very good idea, as it will provide a safe platform for children to message on. Let's face it, it has to be safer than the current options such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Yes, I know a few people have said there is no "official confirmation" the app will not be moderated, but throughout this post, I'm going to say it will be, because this app is made by the Bin Weevils Team, and at the end of the day, their priority is to ensure children have a safe online environment to use. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but I reckon it will be moderated. Why do I think this app is such a good idea? Well, it will provide a safe platform as I mentioned above. Not only that, we will be able to send buddy messages through our smartphones - just think if you run out of text messages and Bin Weevils save the day! Yes, I know you probably don't have your family on Bin Weevils, but you might have some of your friends from school - like I have, so just to send quick small updates will be good. What I would include in the app? As well as the main purpose (messaging) there could be some other nice features in the app - like head to head games where you can play virtual multiplayer games such as air hockey, table tennis etc, when one or more of your buddies is online. As well as games, sending emoticons would be a nice idea. These would be Weevil style emoticons of course, such as your own Weevil's head with the face expression you choose on it, and more than the current seven options available in-game at the moment. I think drawings would work well but they would need to be moderated so no inappropriate drawings get delivered, so they could have a 'waiting time' on them and take a day or so to be sent and received. A 'pending folder' would be good so you can see which messages you have sent need to be moderated, with an option to delete the message so it is not sent, if it is a pending message that has not yet been delivered to your desired recipient. Since this is a phone and tablet app I would like a larger text allowance. Although it's no big deal if there isn't - since Twitter only allows 140 characters. Then again in a direct message there is no limit and I'm assuming the messages in this new app will be private... so I'd like a long text allowance, rather than the current one for messages. I do expect each message apart from the drawing messages if they are included to be instant - and received on the recipient's end almost instantly like most social media websites offer. A nice feature for this app would be to message anyone, kind of, whether they are your buddy or not. I would make it so you have a settings option on Bin Weevils where you can have a buddy message icon on your Bin Weevil profile and if it's green, you are open to anyone for messages, If it's orange, you are open to just your buddies for messages and if it's greyed out, you don't have the app or you have messages disabled on the app. Finally, I think this app will most likely require internet connection to use, since it is an instant message app offering the ability to chat to people, and I do expect it to be free. Hopefully we will have more information in the August highlights on Bin Weevils which I do believe will be available from tomorrow, Monday 1st August 2016. What are your thoughts on this expectations review? Let me know in the comments below! -beano150

Post by: beano150 Hello, Bin Weevils. It's beano150 here with your latest Friday update. How has your week been? Well, I've had a fantastic week - literally! I've had a nice holiday last week (which is why I didn't hold a party last week... sorry!) and a good holiday yesterday and today. I'm coming home today! Don't worry, my party is back this weekend. This is of course great news for my loyal Weevily friends in the Binscape that come and party every week - these parties are only worth hosting because of you Weevily awesome lot. Have I thanked you yet? Here's your awesome party invite. I hope to see every single one of you there! See you at the party and have a brilliant weekend - August is on Monday which is when our August highlights are revealed (and presumably the Bin Weevils ones, too) with some brilliant news! There's a whole Summer ahead of us so let's enjoy this. SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMMMER!
-beano150 Post by: beano150 Hello, Bin Weevils. It's beano150 here with an exciting blog post. Now, earlier today (Thursday 21st July 2016) on Twitter, Drewbian announced an "Exciting announcement for August on BW". Many users of the social media website, including myself, had a 'conversation' with Drewbian to discuss what may or may not be coming. From the screenshots below, we can tell that: -It isn't KOTB -It might be something to do with a mobile device -It is something that will happen on Bin Weevils. -We are due to find out "all" on Saturday, 23rd July 2016. Now, we know it is not KOTB (King of The Bin) so we can get that out of the way for now.
The user Mackied was "CLOSE" (according to Drewbian) with "Mobile BW? New player cards?". This could be a sign of Bin Weevils having its own app, with new features in the app, with the new player cards. However, Drewbian replied to my tweet to remind me that this announcement is for something that is due to happen on "BW" (Bin Weevils). That was a reply to my tweet stating my theory of the announcement being about Crater Craft being released for Android, so this sort of confirms the announcement will not be about Crater Craft. Next, Blobette1236 stated their theory of the announcement being a "New app on the phone to access BW somehow"? - Drewbian then stated this is the "Closest reply so far!". But, surely, this couldn't be... a brand new app for Bin Weevils that isn't Crater Craft? That simply would be amazing. If it's on Android, anyway... and not just iOS/Apple. I appreciate 55Pixels want to get the app perfect for iOS/Apple but I think an app should be released on all devices at once. I think we will either get new player cards, a new app to play Bin Weevils on or both. In Drewbian's final tweet at the time, he said a blog post will be up this Saturday which will reveal all (Saturday, 23rd July 2016). Admittedly before that tweet went live, I was expecting the announcement just to be included in the August highlights, and not revealed any earlier. The fact that we are going to receive the announcement blog post before August is of course great news for everyone within the Bin Weevils Community. What do you think the announcement will be? I'd like to know, so leave a comment below. That's all for this blog post, Weevils. See you in my next one! -beano150 Post by: beano150 Hello, Bin Weevils. It's beano150 here with a review post on the new Summer Fair for 2016. Now, Bin Weevils have treated us with a nice return of the Summer Fair from last year, which means we can enjoy all of those fun games, once again. My favourite games are Bin Pet Bounce and Duck Soaker, however all of the games are fantastic.
As well as that, we have also received a brand new addition to the Summer Fair - Ram's Pop Up Arcade. Yes, I know we have seen this before, however we have not seen it at the Summer Fair area, which makes it "brand new" to the Summer Fair. The games are also new, so that is fantastic. I like the retro style and I am looking forward to Gem's Asteroid Blast along with Conga With Wanda. My theories: I think Gem's Asteroid Blast will be similar to the Space Ride game from the Lego Friends Amusement Park last month, however a Bin Weevils version. As for Conga With Wanda, I think this game will be similar to Snakes In Space because of how the fishes are laid out behind (who I assume is) Wanda. Sorry this review is short, but I give this years fair a 5/5. Good work, Bin Weevils Team! Thanks for reading, see you in my next post! -beano150 Post by: beano150 Hello, Bin Weevils.
