Mafia Wars adds ferocious animals to your family arsenal

Mafia Wars finally releases attack animals as a part of your mafia's arsenal, a move that will most likely have PETA up in arms ... again. Whether you like it or not, you will now be able to acquire and use animals to get a leg up on the competition in fights and robbing.

To see what animals are in your arsenal, head to your Inventory and click on the new Animal tab to see what animals are included. You'll be able to buy a Red Tailed Hawk (25A, 22D) for 300,000 coins and can spend Reward Points for a handful of new (and returning) animals in the store.

FarmVille Dogs Perform Final Tricks!

The FarmVille dogs are all grown up and have finally learned their final tricks! Up until now, the final tricks were "coming soon" status even if your Dog had finished all the required training.

Each breed of dog has specific final tricks. The Collie harvests 20 animals, the Terrier harvests ducks, the Sheep Dog harvests sheep and the Golden Retriever fetches consumables. FarmVille Freak Skiwi007 reported that her Golden fetched a whopping 50 coins! As reported by the official FarmVille forum, the Heeler will harvest cows as its final trick.

All of the final tricks can be used once per 24 hours.

What has your Golden Retriever fetched? Are you happy with your puppy purchase and their final trick?

FarmVille Crafting Cottage Preview Problems

Many farmers are reporting that after initially ignoring the pop-up for the Crafting Cottage Preview, they no longer have the opportunity to participate.

Whether they unintentionally ignored, were not prepared to chose their Crafting Cottage at that moment, or were eager to check out the other FarmVille Updates on Tuesday night, these farmers assumed that they could always come back and participate in the preview.

However, even after re-loading their farms, refreshing, re-logging into FaceBook, and even clearing internet cache, so far, triggering the Crafting Cottage Preview event for a second time has proved unsuccessful.

As you know taking part in the Crafting Cottage Preview awards you with a special limited edition Gnome that is specific to the Crafting Cottage (Bakery, Winery, or Spa) you chose. You may also "share" a smaller version of the Gnome with your FarmVille friends via FaceBook newsfeed.

Hopefully, with later updates this issue will be resolved and more willing farmers can participate in the Crafting Cottage Preview.

Were you able to participate in the Crafting Cottage Preview after ignoring the first notice? If so, how did you? What triggered the event for the second time?

Mafia Wars Las Vegas: New Sin City mission kicks off July 10

Mafia Wars Las Vegas is still 'coming soon,' but we're getting prepped for our mafia's arrival in Sin City with (another) teaser mission. This one kicks off Saturday, July 10, and the Vegas-themed job will include new loot, a new collection and a new achievement.

Happy Island parodies The Last Airbender as The First Windbreaker

Happy Island The Last Windbreaker or Airbender
Happy Island Fiery Shrine, Frozen Shrine, Geo Shrine, and Breezy ShrineThe last time Happy Island did a great parody items set (which is still available!) was for the TV series "Lost", which they called "Found". But while that was a cute homage, this latest poke by the game at "The Last Airbender" is worthy of guffaws.

By collecting all four elemental temples of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire -- no Heart though, cause Captain Planet, this ain't -- you can unlock The First Windbreaker! While we can't tell what Aang... er, I mean the Windbreaker looks like, he does sport a glowy blue tattoo on top of a bald head and spins a glider staff.

The temples have been renamed as the Fiery, Frozen, Geo, and Breezy shrines. Each one costs 45 Facebook Credits ($4.50 USD), and collecting them all would set you back about $18 USD. Is "The Last Windbreaker" worth $18 USD? Hell, a better question would be if M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" was worth paying for at all (especially the retro-fitted 3D)?

As a fan of The Last Airbender TV series, I find this whole set hilarious, but then again, I've yet to see the movie, which has lots of fans feeling sensitive right now. There's very vocal outrage over Shyamalan's mishandling of the source material, on top of the pre-production casting controversy over racial under-representation. Rumor has it that Shyamalan's daughter (who's a fan of the series and the director's reason for taking on the project) had panned the film, "If I was older than my daddy, I would ground him for a very long time."

Maybe Crowdstar thought some casual Facebook fun can help lighten the mood.
