FarmVille 7-Eleven Billboard in Washington
FarmVille Freak Vanessa's husband spotted this FarmVille Billboard advertising the 7-Eleven and Zynga promotion in Puyallup, Washington. Puyallup is about 30 miles South of Seattle.
"Hello Farm Goddess,
My hubby, Steven, was driving and saw this Farmville 7-Eleven Promo banner, here in Puyallup, WA (about 30 miles South of Seattle). Sorry the picture quality isn't the best, but I think you get the idea about it all. I've been very fortunate that I have several stores in my area and they all have the Farmville Promo products. I got my 200 FV Cash already! Whooohoooo! ;-)
Happy Farming,
FarmVille Freak Vanessa V-F"
Have you spotted a FarmVille billboard in your city?

Cafe World: New Recipes for Advanced Chefs (a.k.a. Level 75)
Today Zynga has announced to all Cafe World chefs that the Cafe World advanced cookbook is almost ready to be unlocked. To get us all excited about it they announced the first four dishes that will be available to the Cafe World professional chefs that are level 75 or higher.
Cafe World Level 75 recipies
The first four recipes that will be released are Chicken Vindaloo, Osso Buco, Confit de Canard and Kabayaki. I was a bit uncertain what these dishes were from just the names so I did a little digging and here is what I learned. Chicken Vindaloo is an Indian dish and is made with chicken, many spices including curry, onion, chili peppers and garlic. A lot of restaurants add potatoes to the dish and also offer it with lamb instead of chicken. It is also usually one of the hottest types of Indian dishes served.
Osso Bucco is an Italian dish that when translated means "hollowed bone". It is made with veal shanks cooked in meat broth and flavored with white wine and vegetables.
Confit de Canard is more commonly called Duck Confit outside of France. The dish is made with a process of preservation that involves curing the meat in slat and then poaching it in its own fat. Its cooked slowly and sometimes is cooked as long as 10 hours.
Kabayaki is a Japanese dish of seafood that is filleted, boned and dipped in a sweet soy sauce based sauce. The meat is then broiled on a grill. In Japan the most common meat used to make this dish is eel and is considered a nutritious stamina generating food.
So, get ready for the new dishes when the advanced Cafe World cookbook is released!

Wild Ones Weapon Mystery Packs deliver weapon bundles
There's a new way to load up on ammunition in Wild Ones and it comes in the form of Weapon Mystery Packs. For Wild Ones addicts who may have refrained from becoming members, these Weapon Mystery Packs may present a viable alternative.
wild ones weapon mystery packs
Weapon Mystery Packs can be purchased in the Wild Ones store for Facebook Credits. The contents are random but one thing can be certain: you'll definitely receive a good bang for your buck. In return for sacrificing the option to choose what weapons you purchase, you receive more ammunition.
The Wild Ones Weapon Mystery Packs can be found in the store at the bottom right under the "Combos" section (where the Maps - Coming soon section used to be):
wild ones mystery weapon packs
$15 of Ammo for 99 Facebook Credits
$30 of Ammo for 198 Facebook Credits
$40 of Ammo for 198 Facebook Credits (requires membership)
So while the best deal requires that you be a Wild Ones Member, there are other options. Also worth mentioning is that only the membership Mystery Weapon Pack will include members-only weapons.
On the other hand, all the Mystery Weapon Packs will have a chance of including new weapons. The new weapons are the carp, mallet, harpoon and chainsaw! To the right you can see the chainsaw going about its business. Clearly, you do not want your Wild Ones pet to be on the receiving end of that nasty tool. You're probably also dying to get your mitts on one of your own.
Head to Wild Ones to check out the Mystery Weapon packs and if you're not stingy like me, maybe purchase one.

FrontierVille glitch: The 'Lost Sheep' pop-up window that won't go away
While playing FrontierVille today, I ran across an annoying glitch in the beginning of the game. After finding and moving my lost sheep, a pop-up window appeared, informing me that I just scored 20 Food, 10XP and that I can share experience points with friends. After clicking the 'Share Experience' button, the window goes away.
Everything seems normal, right? That is, until this same pop-up window keeps appearing every time the game launches, no matter how many times I click the 'Skip' or 'Share Experience' button. I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray in 'Groundhog Day.'
Anyone else run across this problem? Are there any other big glitches everyone should know about?

Restaurant City celebrates the 50s with Elvis, Buddy Holly, Grease, and Dr Pepper
Restaurant City 50s Drive In Week
Restaurant City is tapping into 1950s nostalgia and the the power of Dr Pepper in this week's new restaurant theme. Also, how many of you know that Dr Pepper has a jingle? The game's official blog posted a 1977 commercial for a jingle that remained in use until 1983. You can view and sing-along by clicking on the lyrics below, though personally, I like the one that uses Popeye the Sailor in the end:
♫ I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper,
She's a Pepper, we're a Pepper,
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?
Be a Pepper. Drink Dr Pepper.♫
Restaurant City Grease stars, Buddy Holly, and Elvis
Restaurant City Dr Pepper Vending MachineLot the 'Almost Famous' theme, where the game first parodied singers with foodie names like Lady Gaga as Lady Cocoa, or their 60s theme which included the Beatles, we've got some 50s rock n' roll stars and celebs here too.
The male star of Grease (1978), Danny Suko, played by John Travolta, has been renamed Danny Zucchini (costing 10 Playfish Cash) and his lady love Sandy Olsson, played by Olivia Newton-John, is now Sandy Orange (9 PFC). Famed rock n' roll pioneer Buddy Holly has been brought back as Nutty Holly (24,000 Coins). And Elvis is rockin' diners as the new Kitchen King (12 PFC).
You can also get a Dr Pepper Vending Machine for free (it earns 300 Coins every 4 hours and never breaks down) by mastering the Dr Pepper Float recipe, which requires 10 Dr Pepper and Ice-Cream ingredients total. And there's a Dr Pepper Billboard sign you can put outside of your restaurant for 500 Coins, but it'll only be on sale until September 1st.

Cafe World: Get hundreds of free VIP Salads from Facegamer's gift links
Today, Jacqueline Simon on Facegamer explained that every Cafe World player is allowed a certain number of "free-floating" gifts per day.
Free-floaters are gifts that you can get even though they've been sent by nobody, like the stuff that you click on a Facebook Wall or a Feed. Jacqueline explains this by claiming that "Zynga uses them as padding to honor a gift that would have otherwise been rejected by the system."
However this works, it's safe to say that Jacqueline has created a way for players to grab their maximum allotment of V.I.P. Salads that Zynga will let us take. The V.I.P. Salad (see image on the right) is dish that occasionally shows up on the Gifts page. They come in bunches of 35 and sell for 99 Coins per serving. Jacqueline has gathered 12 gift links, which she calls "Overloads".
Theoretically, clicking on her "Overloads" can get you more than 800 servings of VIP Salads!
But there are several rules to maximize this opportunity:
1) Come to The Facegamer to collect Overloads BEFORE you accept your normal gifts for the day.
Why? Accepting gifts can use up some of your free-floating gift quota. Remember that you get about twelve TOTAL, not each. So any combination should be fine as long as it's 12 or less. 6 VIP and 6 Energy is ok, but you're probably not going to get 12 VIP and 12 Energy.
2) Don't use notes found on Facebook that have Super Sliders, Lobster Dinners, etc.
Why? They also are designed to purposely use up your free-floating gift quota. You have to make a decision. Do you want Super Sliders (4 coins each), Lemon Butter Lobster (9 coin each) or VIP Dinner/Salad (99 coin each). You can only pick so many a day.
3) Clearing your cache does occasionally help you collect these gifts, but not all the time. You can find very good and detailed instructions at Zynga support site, here: How to Clear your Cache
A copy of the links to her V.I.P. Salad Overloads is available right below. Be sure to check out your Cafe World Gifts box to see how many salads you might've gotten. Remember, not everybody gets the same amount of freebies using this hack.

FarmVille is Returning Missing HoneyBees
In an erroneous glitch occurring several days ago, many farmers found their HoneyBees missing.
Remember, if you do not tend your Beehive daily then some of your Bees will "fly away". However, farmers that did tend their Beehive daily still had missing Bees.
The good new is that many farmers are reporting that their HoneyBees have been returned by FarmVille.
You may find your refunded HoneyBees in your FarmVille Gift Box.

You may see these scam posts on your Facebook wall. They appear to be legitimate FarmVille shares of Crafting Building samples and goods, but if you notice the word "FarmVille" (as it is usually written on legitimate FarmVille shares) appears as "farmville" in lowercase letters.
You may want to avoid clicking these fake shares.

Zynga lives up to Facebook deal, Facebook Credits now primary currency
Zynga has finally issued its paid currency change across most of its social games to Facebook Credits after a five-year agreement was settled in May between the two companies. While this has been done for some of its offerings over the past few months, Facebook Credits are now officially the primary form of paid currency in all Zynga games (except for Zynga Poker)
on Facebook. Direct money transfer via Pay Pal accounts and credit cards are still valid (phew!).
Keep in mind that this change only goes for Zynga's presence on Facebook. Other social platforms have not yet required Zynga to change its primary payment methods to their native payment methods.
In an official statement made today, Facebook and Zynga said, "The companies are committed to working together to provide the best possible customer experience during this transition."
Facebook has also signed similar five-year deals with social game developers Crowdstar and Playdom in an effort to make its digital dollars the primary virtual currency on the platform. With its Facebook Credits even in Target stores everywhere, it may truly be only a matter of time before total Facebook domination (well, in the social world at least).

Wall Street Journal looks at Vostu, the Brazillian Zynga
Here at Games.com -- The Blog, we've extensively covered the rise of social gaming in Europe and Japan (and America, obviously). But the social gaming phenomenon isn't just limited to these locales. It's also making inroads in places like Brazil, as the Wall Street Journal highlighted in a recent profile of Vostu, Brazil's answer to Zynga.
Though the company is based in New York, Vostu has found enormous success in the Brazilian social gaming market, which is built largely on top of Google's all-but-defunct social network Orkut, of all things. The company has found success updating traditional social gaming genres with a Brazilian twist in games such as Mini Fazenda, a Farmville clone that lets you "grow exotic fruits from the Amazon and build a carnival float with friends," and Cafe Mania, a Cafe World clone where players "can cook virtual dishes such as feijoada, a bean and meat stew."
By targeting the nation with the world's fifth-largest Internet-enabled population, Vostu has quickly become "very profitable" according to the piece, with 8.7 million players for its top game, revenues in the high eight-figure range and $15 million in venture capital from companies including Intel. Much of this success is surely due to the relative lack of targeted competition thus far -- not many American social gaming companies have translated their games into Portugese, after all. With success like this, though, we're guessing the Brazilian copycats will be flooding the market any second now...

Wild Ones Invisibility Potion: Unleash the art of deception
Wild Ones has released a new weapon. This weapon doesn't unleash destruction like the Wild Ones weapons of old. Nor does it melt faces like the recently unveiled Poison Gas. In fact, this weapon does no damage whatsoever. So how could this item possibly be useful to a Wild Ones battle pet?
The real power of the new Invisibility Potion becomes evident rather quickly. Invisibility allows a Wild Ones pet to be as sneaky as an unreleased hedgehog while remaining as powerful as a mighty dragon. It lets pets go on the offense while remaining holed up on the defensive. And best of all, it comes in a tasty purple grape flavor (pictured above).
Continue reading to learn more about the all new Invisibility Potion.
wild one invisibility potion
According to expert Wild Ones scientists, "This weapon will make you virtually invisible for about 60 seconds." Using it will not use up your turn and the effect will carry over into your opponents turns.
You may be baffled by how complicated this all sounds. Luckily, as a master Wild Ones tactician, I can offer an example of how the Invisibility Potion would be used:
You, the Samurai Ninja Rabbit, are one hit away from losing to a ruthless and unclothed panda (pictured above). As the game winds down, it becomes your turn. Realizing that it will take two attacks to finish off your opponent, you must maneuver the situation with up most care. The naked panda smirks at you, foolishly believing the battle is all but over. Fortunately, you still have a few tricks up your sleeves.
You move into position to deliver a devastating blow. Right before you attack, you produce from your cloak the new Wild Ones Invisibility Potion, and gulp it down, noting the delicious purple grape flavor. Then as soon as you begin going see-through you let the panda have it, then quickly scurry away to safety. Unaware of where you are, the panda can do nothing but fire blindly. It becomes your turn again, and with a more than lethal blow, you send that panda straight to oblivion.
That's just one example of how awesome the Invisibility Potion can potentially be. Sneaking around, blasting enemies, and being a general nuisance is what the Invisibility Potion is all about.
Fans of Wild Ones have already declared this a must-have weapon. Unfortunately, although you don't have to be a Wild Ones member, the Invisibility Potions still costs Facebook Credits. For 54 Facebook Credits you will receive 12 Invisibility Potions.
Head to Wild Ones to check it out for yourself. And if you think of a better use for the Invisibility Potions than the one I concocted above, please let me know.
The real power of the new Invisibility Potion becomes evident rather quickly. Invisibility allows a Wild Ones pet to be as sneaky as an unreleased hedgehog while remaining as powerful as a mighty dragon. It lets pets go on the offense while remaining holed up on the defensive. And best of all, it comes in a tasty purple grape flavor (pictured above).
Continue reading to learn more about the all new Invisibility Potion.
wild one invisibility potion
According to expert Wild Ones scientists, "This weapon will make you virtually invisible for about 60 seconds." Using it will not use up your turn and the effect will carry over into your opponents turns.
You may be baffled by how complicated this all sounds. Luckily, as a master Wild Ones tactician, I can offer an example of how the Invisibility Potion would be used:
You, the Samurai Ninja Rabbit, are one hit away from losing to a ruthless and unclothed panda (pictured above). As the game winds down, it becomes your turn. Realizing that it will take two attacks to finish off your opponent, you must maneuver the situation with up most care. The naked panda smirks at you, foolishly believing the battle is all but over. Fortunately, you still have a few tricks up your sleeves.

PetVille Neighborhoods: Zynga spills the beans with in-game glitches
PetVille Neighborhoods
While some of you were getting in touch with nature in PetVille's Crystal Springs Theme, Zynga accidentally spoiled the surprise on their next feature to come to the game: Neighborhoods. A forum user named Genesis4now found a promotional image on the PetVille Facebook page that teases the upcoming addition to the game.
Find out more about this unannounced feature after the break.
PetVille Neighborhoods
In a few photos tagged "PetVille" on Facebook (pictured above), players have been lamenting over glitches in their game in which their pet appears in a park on a residential street, which could be snippets of the feature somehow leaking through as Zynga developers introduce the Neighborhoods into the game.
As of now, all we know is that this feature will allow your pet to step outside of its house and physically interact with its neighborhood. While these glitches imply that real time interaction with your neighborhoods will be part of the feature, anything is possible as nothing has been officially announced. In the meantime, enjoy the impromptu preview while it lasts.

Put away the pitchforks! FarmVille drops Crafting Tax back down to 20 percent
farmville crafting tax
Our voices were heard! Zynga seems to have listened to us and conceded to drop the FarmVille tax on Crafting Goods.
The new Crafting tax is 20%.
Originally the tax was 10%. However, last week the rate jumped to 50% without notice and caused an uproar from crafting savvy farmers. Many farmers threatened to quit crafting, as they were unhappy with the unannounced changes.

Lovin' it: FarmVille's McDonalds promotion kicks off sometime today
Update: The McDonald's Promotion has arrived! Check out all the details here.
FarmVille has partnered with McDonalds in a new promotion that will bring virtual items inspired by the Golden Arches to your farm. This new teaser FarmVille loading screen says the promotion will be arriving 'tomorrow' -- and since it appeared late last night, I presume that means the promotion will be getting started today.
The official FarmVille blog also added a brief update yesterday that says, "McDonald's is heading to FarmVille tomorrow--and you're invited. Pay them a visit and earn exclusive rewards!"
farmville mcdonalds is coming
No real details on the deal have been released yet, but we've already offered you a sneak peek of a few unreleased FarmVille/McDonalds items that will be headed your way. I suspect the promotion will be just like the popular FarmVille 7-Eleven promotion from this summer where you buy FarmVille-themed items from Mickey D's and then redeem a code for a special in-game item. On a more personal note, I haven't darkened the door of a McDonalds in over a decade, but I might have to make an exception for this.

Cute Game of the Day: Flower Match
Cute games do not just have to have cats or monkeys. Cute games can come from anywhere and in any form. Today's cute game of the day comes in the form of our flowering friends of fauna, the flowers. In Flower Match you've tasked with matching three flowers and clearing the board. Sure, it's just another match three game but we never get enough of a good match three.

While it might not be as widely useful as an iPad, it'll definitely impress when you whip out a full-featured iPod Nano not much bigger than a quarter. Hey, keep participating and who knows what CrowdStar might hand out next (MacBooks anyone?). Check the promo banner in-game for more information and good luck convincing your hater friends to at least try out the game. (Hint: no one ever said that they had to play the game.)

FarmVille's Wild Turkey giftable for limited time, get the rotisserie ready
Wild Turkey
It's that time of year again to relentlessly hunt defenseless birds with strange necks and throw them in the oven to feed an extended family of 20. What time of year is that, you ask? Why, it's Thanksgiving in FarmVille, of course. For a limited time only, players can send each other Wild Turkeys for absolutely nothing.
Zynga did away with the hardest part for you. What more could you ask for? Well, how about a nice cramped space to stuff all your turkeys in? We imagine that Wild Turkeys have been made into free gifts in preparation for the upcoming Turkey Roost building that our fine, not-so-feathered friends at FarmVille Freak found last week. We're unsure what other purpose the Turkey Roost will have other than holding the birds in helpless captivity, but I'm sure found out well before Nov. 25 comes around. Until then, enjoy capturing a few hundred flightless birds for the hapless slaughter. (Full disclosure: turkey is absolutely delicious.)

Pet Society's Autumn Countryside Theme items feel warm and cozy
Autumn Countryside
With the haunted hootenanny known as Halloween behind us, it's time to prepare for the homiest holiday of the year, Thanksgiving. While Playfish has somewhat beat around the bush in calling Pet Society's new theme called "Autumn Countryside," we all know what's going on there. Players will find a slew of country-focused items in nearly every store in the game to give Pet Society a nice Cracker Barrel feel. Don't look at me that... I'm from Philadelphia; it's all I know.
Anyway, you'll find everything to turn your house into the next Little House on the Prairie and then some with items like a massive Red Windmill, a Playful Piglet--though it looks more like a hog--and a Red Tractor. There are even Country outfits available so that your pets will fit the part too. Not to mention that three Mystery Boxes have been updated with items inspired by the countryside. The Blue Mystery Box now contains a Country Pasta Jar while the Gold Mystery Box has a chance of rewarding Autumn Lavender--but best of all is the Rooster Plate, which can be found in Gold Mystery Boxes as well.
Things just got a lot more FrontierVille (or are they more FarmVille?) in Pet Society, but thank Playfish for keeping the country tunes out of this. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, now.

Zuma Blitz on Facebook trailer: Does that red frog have 'Zuma's Revenge'?
Did that headline get your attention? Well, the flatulent red frog at the end of this brief trailer certainly got our attention. Not that we needed this trailer to remind us that we've been patiently awaiting the arrival of Zuma Blitz since we first put hands on it in July. Five months later, the game still hasn't arrived, so we're still waiting until the day we can start busting balls like a high school P.E. coach. With cool power-ups. In a minute or less.

Earn 220 Facebook Credits in Happy Pets through ProFlowers promotion
Similar to the new promotion currently going on in Cafe World, CrowdStar has teamed up with ProFlowers to offer players of Happy Pets a chance at 220 free Facebook Credits.
All you have to do to earn these free Facebook Credits, valued at $22 US, is make a purchase through ProFlowers this week, in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday. ProFlowers offers gifts in addition to flowers, like cupcakes, chocolates and more. This promotion will offer those interested up to 50% off certain items, and you'll see your Facebook Credits loaded into your account almost instantly upon making a valid purchase with a credit card.
What's especially great about this promotion is the fact that Facebook Credits are so universally used in Facebook games. Sure, you can earn these free credits through Happy Pets, but you can then turn around and spend them on any number of different games, whether created by CrowdStar or not.

YoVille Thanksgiving theme expands with 41 new decorative items
As we told you last week, Zynga has officially begun celebrating Thanksgiving in YoVille's Furniture Store. At the time, there were only 27 items available in the theme, but all of that has changed now, as 41 new items have joined the fray, bringing the grand total of available options to 68 items.
These new items come in the form of outdoor chairs, bar stools (in Gold, Peach, Green and Brown varieties), new decorative food items like Salmon, Loin Steak and Prime Rib platters, decorated wooden turkey baskets, cutlery (tongs, knives, whisks and other cooking equipment), and even large outdoor umbrellas, in case you want to imagine that your YoVille avatar lives in a warmer climate.
Most of these items are fairly inexpensive, as far as the game's average pricing goes. For example, the knives, tongs, and other kitchen utensils cost just 199 coins each. The plates of food cost just 250 coins, and the most expensive item here is the Umbrella (also available in four colors: Gold, Peach, Green, and Brown), which costs 1,299 coins. That might seem like a lot, but you can get a lot of the other items for much less, meaning that even if you skipped the umbrella, your home can still be filled with all of the goodies you need to make your Thanksgiving celebration a success.
As with most other holiday items, we're assuming these items will only be available in the store for a short time after the Thanksgiving holiday passes, so you'll want to stock up on these items while you can in order to have a chance at collecting them all.

Treasure Isle Thanksgiving Holiday Sweepstakes: Win a trip to Hawaii
For Treasure Isle players, Thanksgiving probably screams, "trip to a beautiful island." Luckily for you, Zynga read your minds and decided that would be the perfect grand prize for its Thanksgiving Holiday Sweepstakes--more specifically a trip to Hawaii for two. For five days and four nights, you and a friend could enjoy the wonders of Hawaii on Zynga's dime. While we doubt you'll find much buried treasure, it'll still be on helluva time. Besides, you probably don't want to try and bring a shovel, machete or lava mangoes on a plane these days.
To qualify, you'll first need to--gasp--register your e-mail address with Zynga through Treasure Isle. Though according to the official rules, you can enter via snail mail as well. After signing over your life over to spam (kidding, it's really not that bad), you'll need to complete all of the recent Thanksgiving quests and complete the Banquet Table. On top of that, you'll also need to finish the Ziggurat Relic. Once you've completed each task, it seems that you'll be automatically considered for the random drawing on Dec. 10. For the surprisingly lucky runners up, 10 contestants will win an iPad while another 100 will score a free t-shirt.
While the random drawing will take place on Dec. 10, you only have until Nov. 30 at midnight to finish the requirements and register your e-mail address with Treasure Isle. Those are some pretty daunting tasks, so you better get work ASAP if you want a chance at escaping this expectantly frigid winter for a little while. Though, an iPad wouldn't hurt either.

Cafe World Builder Viewer: All your projects in one convenient place
Builder Viewer
You know that one empty space in the Cafe World toolbar that's created a lonely void between the Mystery Crate and Lightning Stove icons for sometime now? Zynga has finally revealed what has been waiting to fill that unsightly space: the Builder Viewer. This brand new feature is where you'll find every building project you're currently working on like the recent Queen Deep Freeze Idol. From here, you'll be able to work on each item, place ones you've yet to start and even ask your friends for Special Deliveries.
For the big spenders, players can also buy out functional items entirely from this menu, instantly creating buildings at a combined cost of its requirements. Unfortunately, this feature is being slowly rolled out and not everyone will see upon logging in. I, for example, am still staring at a blank space in my toolbar, feverishly patiently waiting for it to be filled.

Pocket God to dominate Facebook thanks to Frima Studio
Pocket God
Soon enough, you'll be able to dominate hapless island villagers both at the desk and on the go. The hit iPhone game Pocket God will soon be on Facebook through Quebec-based Frima Studio's efforts later this fall. (I hope Frima knows that fall is nearly over.) Original developed by Bolt Creative in San Francisco, Pocket God instills the power of a god into players, allowing them to do nearly whatever they please to a growing group of island pygmies.
On Facebook, however, a breadth of social features and episodic content has been promised by Frima Studio. Not to mention that "a host of hilarious ways to both dispose of and resurrect the immortal pygmies of each island" will be added to the Facebook game, according to Frima Studio.
Steve Couture, CEO of Frima Studio, says, "Everything fans have grown to love about this game and its characters has been happily fed to the sharks and tossed into the volcano, only to be resurrected onto Facebook in a way that fans are truly going to love." Pocket God will enter a closed beta phase later this year, according to Frima Studio, with access granted only to the game's "rabid fanbase." Players interested in playing god on Facebook early can soon find out how over on the Pocket God Blog.
