Ladies and gentlemen, we stand together on a momentous day. Truly, it is one that will go down as a landmark in the history of human freedom and man’s progressive attitude towards art, his fellow man,  and in fact pretty much every aspect of everything relating to human existence ever. Because today, I am delighted to be able to report, is the day that Doom and Doom II have finally been cleared for general release by the German ratings board. Share in this victory people, for in a way, we have all taken our first step towards a new, more enlightened state of being this day.

Score one for progressive public freedoms! Doom finally cleared for general release in Germany

Beautifully chorographed, bleak CGI of Marcus and co. getting their arses kicked in a long, drawn-out way? Check. Maudlin, slightly incongruous contemporary soundtrack with a modicum of arty, indie-cred to emphasise how poetic and sad the oh so poetic and sad game really is, underneath all the curb-stomping and chainsaw dismemberment? Check. Ominous cut to black at the dramatic climax? Check also. Yep, this is a Gears of War trailer alright. It has passed all mandatory checks, and is now ready for your consumption. So consume. But while none of the above elements might be surprising, what certainly is surprising – unless I’m very much mistaken – is what looks to be the appearance of long-since-offed Gears 1 bad guy General Raam leading the Locust charge at the beginning. Take a look, and we will discuss what this may mean over the jump.

FarmVille Wildlife Habitat Green Mystery Baby FarmVille Wildlife Habitat Purple Mystery Baby FarmVille Wildlife Habitat White Mystery Baby Yesterday FarmVille released the new Wildlife Habitat feature. This new building with purpose has several functions other than being a place to store your Wildlife animals and one of which is the ability to find Mystery Babies. You can read extensive details about FarmVille’s Wildlife Habitat in the FarmVille Freak Guide by clicking here . FarmVille Freak Wildlife Habitat Guide There seems to be some general confusion about Mystery Babies and we would like to take this opportunity to clear that up as well as answer a few FAQ about the Wildlife Habitat. Mystery Babies Basically there are two ways to get a Mystery Baby. One, you can harvest your Wildlife Habitat and “find” a Mystery Baby at the time of harvest. Mystery Babies that are found while harvesting your Wildlife Habitat will grow up to be the exact same animal of its parent that you had living in your habitat at the time of harvest. In other words, you cannot breed a brand new type of animal that you don’t own or isn’t already living in your habitat. Secondly, Mystery Babies can be obtained from your FarmVille friends. Whenever your friends share their Mystery Babies via the Facebook News Feed you have the opportunity to “adopt” them. The animal that you adopt will be either a rare or common (see below). Some Wildlife animals are only available from the FarmVille Market, and others are available through friends. To find out which animals are available from your FarmVille friends simply click on your Wildlife Habitat building and “Look Inside”.  Those Mystery Babies that are available from friends will have a small sunshine indicator that appears when you mouseover the animal with your cursor. You can “adopt” these Mystery Baby animals from neighbors who share them via the Facebook News Feed. There are two types of Mystery Babies that you claim from friends: 1) Rare Mystery Babies : Rare Mystery Babies will have a Pink Baby Bundle and will include previous Limited Edition items that are worth less than 15 Farm Cash as well as Common Mystery Game prizes. Rare Mystery Babies require 30 bags of Animal Feed to grow into an adult. 2) Common Mystery Babies : Common Mystery Babies will have a Green Baby Bundle and will include previous Farm Coin animals, Lonely animals (adoptables), and animals that were once Quest Rewards. Common Mystery Babies require 10 bags of Animal Feed to grow into an adult. Wildlife Habitat FAQ  (provided by Zynga via the Official FarmVille Forum) Can I own more than one Wildlife Habitat?  Yes! You can have multiple completed Wildlife Habitats on your farm. However, you are limited to having one incomplete (i.e., un-built) Wildlife Habitat frame at-a-time per farm. How many animals does the Wildlife Habitat hold?  Each Wildlife Habitat can hold up to 20 wildlife animals. Each additional Wildlife Habitat that you place on your farm can hold another 20 animals. How long until the Wildlife Habitat is ready for harvest?  The harvest cycle of the Wildlife Habitat is 24 hours, which begins as soon as a single animal is placed in the Habitat. The timer resets once you harvest a ready-to-harvest Habitat. Does harvesting the Wildlife Habitat count towards Animal Mastery?  Yes! The Wildlife Habitat provides an easy way to collect Animal Mastery from many wildlife animals at once with one click when the building is ready for harvest. Do I need pairs of animals to be able to breed?  No! Once you place a particular wildlife animal in a Habitat, upon harvesting the Habitat you’ll have a chance of finding a Mystery Baby that will grow up into an animal just like the one you placed in the building. In other words, the Habitat can help you create multiples of the animals that you already own. This is a great way to help you accelerate your way to Animal Mastery; the more of a particular type of animal you own, the more quickly you can accumulate Mastery points for that animal! Interested in acquiring wildlife animals you don’t already have? Be sure to claim Mystery Babies from your friends in the Newsfeed! These Mystery Babies can turn into a variety of different wildlife animals, and aren’t governed by the same rules that determine what your own Mystery Babies will become. How can I increase my chances of finding a Mystery Baby upon harvesting the Wildlife Habitat?  The more wildlife animals stored in the Habitat, the better your chances of finding a Mystery Baby when you harvest the Habitat! Where can I get more wildlife animals to place in the Habitat?  Here are three ways to get your hands on more wildlife animals: When you harvest a Wildlife Habitat, you have a chance of finding a Mystery Baby that you can grow up into an adult wildlife animal! You can claim Mystery Babies shared by friends in the Newsfeed! You can purchase additional wildlife animals from the FarmVille Market. Click on a completed Wildlife Habitat on your farm select “Look Inside.” The animals available for you to purchase will be labeled with a “Market” button. Different sets of wildlife animals will be released in the Market over time. How do Wildlife Mystery Babies grow up into wildlife animals?  Give Animal Feed to your Mystery Baby to grow it up into an adult wildlife animal! Click a Mystery Baby on your farm and select “Feed baby” to give it Animal Feed. The Mystery Baby’s progress to adulthood (e.g., “1/10 Animal Feed”) will be indicated in text when you hover your cursor on top of a Mystery Baby. How can I get more Animal Feed to give to my Mystery Babies?  Your friends can send you Animal Feed. Ask them for help by clicking on a Mystery Baby on your farm and selecting “Ask for Feed”. You can make Animal Feed in the Craftshop. You can purchase Animal Feed in the Market. Why are Mystery Babies different colors?  There are two kinds of Mystery Babies: common  Mystery Babies (with a green baby bundle) and  rare Mystery Babies (with a pink baby bundle). Common (green) Mystery Babies require 10 Animal Feed to grow up, and rare (pink) Mystery Babies require 30 The color of the baby bundle on a Mystery Baby hints at what the Mystery Baby will become when it grows up. You can see the possibilities for a particular Mystery Baby by first clicking on a completed Wildlife Habitat on your farm and selecting “Look Inside.” When you roll your cursor over an animal, the resulting tooltip will show you the type of Mystery baby (rare or common) that corresponds with that animal. For animals that you don’t have, if the tooltip doesn’t show a Mystery Baby, then that Mystery Baby is not currently available to claim from your friends in the Newsfeed. Mystery Babies: What is the difference between ones I find in my own Wildlife Habitat versus ones that I claim from friends in the Newsfeed?  Mystery Babies that you find when you harvest your own Wildlife Habitat will grow up to be just like one of the animals in your Wildlife Habitat at the time of harvest. (Note: To qualify to create a Mystery Baby, a wildlife animal must be in the Habitat from before 10% harvest progress until the Habitat is harvested.) Mystery Babies that you claim from your friends via the Newsfeed can turn into a variety of different animals. To find out what wildlife animals you might get when you claim a Mystery Animal from the Newsfeed: Click on a completed Wildlife Habitat on your farm select “Look Inside.” When you roll your cursor over an animal and the resulting tooltip features golden rays surrounding the Mystery Baby icon, then that animal is something you could get from a Mystery Baby claimed from the Newsfeed! Rare Mystery Babies claimed from the Newsfeed can grow up to become: Mystery Game “common” items (i.e., no uncommon or rare Mystery Game items are included) Animals that sell or have sold for less than 15 Farm Cash Common Mystery Babies claimed from the feeds can grow up to become: Coin animals Quest rewards Animals from the Lonely Animal feature Which animals can be placed in the Wildlife Habitat?  All kinds of wildlife animals (except for babies, e.g. bear cubs) can be placed inside the Wildlife Habitat, including deer, frogs, porcupines, squirrels, reindeer, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and woodchucks. To see the full list of animals that can be placed inside the Wildlife Habitat, click on a completed Habitat on your farm and select “Look Inside,” where the full list of qualified animals will be displayed. Animals that are qualified for the Habitat but haven’t been placed in the Habitat will be slightly transparent. When you use an animal from your Gift Box or click on an animal on your farm to “move” it, the Wildlife Habitat will have a blue glow if that animal is qualified to be placed in the Habitat.

  FarmVille Lady Gaga Unicorn Mastery Sign FarmVille Animal Mastery is finally slowly rolling out to all farmers. If you don’t have access to this new feature, hold tight as you soon will. Animal Mastery works similar to other FarmVille Mastery. Just as you can master crops and trees, you will now be able to master animals. With each harvest you will earn mastery points that count towards that animals mastery. Each specific animal breed will have its own mastery. For example, instead of just mastering Horses in general, you will need to work on each breed’s mastery such as American Horse mastery, Clydesdale mastery, and so on. FarmVille Master Animals Loading Screen Animal Mastery has three star levels just as other FarmVille masteries. With each star level that you achieve, you will receive bonus rewards of Farm Coins and XP. Finally, after mastering all three star levels on an animal you will receive an Animal Mastery Sign. FarmVille Animal Mastery Rewards: 1 Star Level Mastery – 25 XP and 500 Farm Coins 2 Star Level Mastery – 75 XP and 1,500 Farm Coins 3 Star Level Mastery – 250 XP and 5,000 Farm Coins, plus an Animal Mastery Sign   FarmVille My Mastery Animals Page 1 of 64 What do you think of FarmVille Animal Mastery?

FarmVille & Dreyer Team Up To celebrate the upcoming promotion between Zynga’s FarmVille and Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars, FarmVille players (including FarmVille Freak!) will be planting real fruit trees in the appropriately named real town of  FarmVille, Virginia ! FarmVille virtual farmers like yourself will be treated to growing Limited Edition Fruit Bar crops, but a handful of players will be leaving their virtual farms idle long enough to plant a real fruit orchard in FarmVille, Virginia. We think this is a great idea and such a wonderful way to give back to a deserving community. If not reason enough alone, this town (along with FarmVille, North Carolina) has to share their name with the insanely popular FarmVille. Can you imagine telling someone “I live in FarmVille.” without having to further explain “not the game, the real town.” FarmVille Freak was lucky enough to be invited to this event and we can’t wait to tell you all about it and share our experience. This event was organized in partnership with Zynga and is part of Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars Communities Take Root program. Orchards, Dryer's/Edy's & FarmVille Freak For more details on this upcoming event, read the press release provided by Dreyer’s below: “FarmVille Fanatics Team Up With Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars to Plant Real Crops” Players enjoy a taste of reality as they leave the virtual farm to plant a real fruit orchard ­­ OAKLAND, Calif., May 23, 2011 – This summer, the Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars* brand is bringing a taste of real life to the online gaming world.   On June 13, 2011, top players from Zynga’s wildly popular FarmVille game are packing their shovels and leaving their virtual farms behind as they head to rural Farmville, Virginia to plant an actual fruit orchard for the community. The new orchard in Farmville, VA commemorates a branded integration between Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars and FarmVille. From June 13 to June 19, 2011, FarmVille players across the country will plant limited edition Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars branded crops within the FarmVille game, earning additional profitability and the opportunity to receive mastery recognition for planting, growing and selling the Fruit Bars crops. A handful of lucky players have been selected to plant trees in real life, as well.  Sharyn Martinez is among the FarmVille enthusiasts traveling to Farmville, VA to plant a fruit orchard with Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars.  “Being from Los Angeles, I thought the only way I’d get to plant an orchard was on my beautiful virtual farm! But now, thanks to Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars and Zynga, I am getting ready to dig in and plant fruit trees in the real town of Farmville,” says Sharyn. The planting in Farmville, VA is an example of Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars ongoing commitment to revitalizing one of our most precious resources:  fruit trees. In 2010, Fruit Bars introduced Communities Take Root, an annual program dedicated to planting fruit tree orchards in deserving communities nationwide.  Throughout the summer, Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars invites people across the United States to cast their vote to help twenty communities blossom, one orchard at a time.  “Dreyer’s/Edy’s is passionate about helping neighborhoods become greener, healthier and of course, sweeter. We’re thrilled to introduce Fruit Bars and the Communities Take Root program to Farmville’s passionate community, and to support FarmVille players in bring a thriving fruit orchard to the Farmville, VA community,” says Jia Li, Fruit Bars Associate Brand Manager.
