Ducklings Released!

Greetings-

In an attempt to appease players that are still angry over the feed reward limit and lack of a coin option for the 28 x 28 land expansion, Zynga released the new ducklings feature onto our farms tonight.

When you harvest your duck pond, you now have the chance to get a duckling.  Once you have a duckling, you will need to get 7 friends to help you raise your duckling into a new feathered friend.  Now, here's the catch.  The quicker you get your friends to help raise your duckling determines what kind of a duck/swan your little dude will grow into.

So, now it's up to you folks out there reading.  Does this in any way, shape or form make up for the lack of a coin expansion and the feed reward limit?  Let me know in the comments.

Until next time,

-Bill-

Thanks to my neighbor Zeke for the screen shot!

Quickie

Just a quickie-type post tonight.

I've been searching my butt off tonight trying to figure out how and where the FarmVille fan sites are getting a hold of images of unreleased content.  All the searching is starting to give me a headache and the hours just keep melting away.  

So far, I have found the sound of a pig oinking.  I guess I should be happy that I've been able to find that much, but I thirst for more.  I want to see what's coming up in FarmVille without having to rely on other sources to find it for me.

Wish me luck folks, it's going to be a long night morning.

UPDATE:  I'm now able to find some images that reside server-side, but nothing that isn't already in the game.  This is progress!

Trailer for GTA IV DLC

I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately trying to finish the storyline and achieve 100% completion, so I'm pretty stoked that they released the trailer for the First DLC episode the other day.

For those of you that aren't GTA fans, or simply if you live under a rock, here's the trailer:


From GTA4.net:

The title of the content is going to be called "Lost and Damned". You will take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost. This is what Dan Houser had to say on the new DLC for the Xbox 360 :-

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

The content is due to hit the XBL marketplace on 17th February 2009. You will naturally need the original GTA 4 and you will also need an xbox live membership (although no word on whether you just need silver membership). The pricing of this new content has not yet been released.

I can't wait until February 17th.

Video of The Day

Every once in a while, I'll feature my favorite video of the day here at Mr. Bill's Musings. It could be a silly video, a weird video, a sexy video, or anything that grabs my attention.

You'll see why this one grabbed me. So here it is, Heidi Klum's Guitar Hero commercial.
