England

All About Style, one of the better CC websites I’ve seen, has created a Kate Middleton set. I think they kind of nailed it, although I don’t know if I’d actually get any of them. Some of them look similar to default stuff, but then again, they’re making Kate’s wardrobe, not their own dresses, so yeah. I like the hair, though. And the third dress is probably my favorite, probably because I’ve seen the original one so much. It’s kind of annoying but refreshing for the media’s obsession with them. It seems like Kate and Will truly love each other and it’s nice to see something good happen, for once. I don’t like how there’s a lot of ‘buy Kate Middleton’s engagement dress/ring/toothbrush/etc. knock-off to celebrate the special day for 19.99! It’s the gift of a life time!’. Just let the couple have their special day.

And I was right. FarmVille did let me go to the English Countryside after waiting a while. And I went… and there’s nothing. Which is kind of stupid because they pumped it up so much since February. They were all ‘Sheep Breeding! New crops! Themed items! Fertile land!’ and everything but when you go there, there’s literally nothing besides a few plots of land, some default animals and trees, and a cottage or two. Disappointed smile I hope things get better. I mean, it truly sounded fun but it’s even worse than when FarmVille originally started out in 2009.

Zynga

FarmVille has gotten a bit more interesting. They have events with achievements that can be completed quickly, and they have interesting themed stuff. Like they had Valentine’s Day mission during February, Spring missions during March and so on. They had a special Donate to Japan event thing which if you spent 25 Farm Cash (Their premium currency), they’d donate it all to Japanese Relief Groups, and you got a special crop. Don’t worry, they give you 1 free Farm Cash every time you level up, so I didn’t have to actually spend any of my own money to donate. Smile with tongue out But yeah, Zynga, their parent company, got yelled at last year for not donating the amount they promised to donate to Haiti, so I was kind of suspicious of donating, but since I wasn’t really spending the money, I thought ‘hey, why not’.

They have a new English Farm feature which gives you a second farm in ‘England’. But you need at least 4 friends to activate it and I have like 2 friends that actually play FarmVille, so yeah. I’m not gonna make fake accounts because that’s just sad, and I have a feeling FarmVille will change it in a few months so anyone above a certain level can play.

And YoVille has gotten increasingly worse. The items are more and more expensive and it’s never been popular. The graphics kind of suck. It’s like if the Sims was online. I remember how there used to be a social aspect to YoVille but now it’s just ‘go to the factory, get paycheck, log off’.

Zynga in general has a new reward feature which if you play a lot, you can get specific rewards via reward points. So far, the YoVille section of the website looks lacking, but the FarmVille one is promising. It’s still in BETA mode, though, so it’s probably gonna get revamped over time.

Helium Cartoon Characters in the Sky!

I still need title ideas. :P Hi everyone! How was your Wednesday? Mine went well. The Practice SATs were a nice way to not have my day ruined by jerks lol :P.

I have to rake leaves today –_– and then I have to do my homework. But maybe I’ll get some simming done? I want to play Wii Sports this break, but I also want to write some legacy chapters. 

YoVille and FarmVille are impressing me. YoVille has added levels after 50, and Farmville has a new and organized market, as well as an innovative tree mastery system. Good job, Zynga!

Happy Day-Before-Thanksgiving! If you want to help those in need this holiday weekend, here are some links you could click, and some rich people donate to those causes based on clicks:

So go find your inner philanthropist and click! :)
