Over 200 Resident Houses Clicked & Still No Holiday Cheer! Come On Cityville!?!?!?

I was beginning to think that my Cityville game was bugged for the past few days considering the fact that the newest Elf Quest requires you to gather Holiday Cheer?

What the heck is Holiday Cheer?

Sadly I cannot post a photo as to what it is, seeing that I have not gathered a single one in the game yet. However supposedly, when you click on Cityville resident homes, you will at times gather it.

But When?

Well Cityville players, prepare to be angry. as the odds are not in your favor. With each click on a resident home, you only have a 5% chance of actually aquiring Holiday Cheer.

I am 200 clicks in so far on homes, how many times have you clicked before actually getting one?

If Amazon Would Just Pay Their Reviewers, They Could Kick

Ass!!!

I write on Associated Content, I am an Epinions pioneer (long gone now though), I write on Bukisa, here on my blog, I stumbleUpon at times, BrightHub is a hoot but requires too much time, and HubPages is in the terlit as far as I am concerned.

With all of the new changes google has put most writing community's through, it is impossible for me to figure out which venue to stick with, and I have pretty much given up on all of them, including my all time favorite AC, nor YCN! or something of that nature.

At any rate, it dawned on me in the past, at how quickly I would throw all of my sites to the curb if Amazon provided some sort of incentive to those sharing reviews, I mean COME ON! People are posting reviews for free, and that's just ... in a writers opinion, a waste of your time. Anything you provide, to help a company sell products should have been followed up by some sort of incentive, and honestly I do not know how many times I have purchased items off of amazon just based solely off of consumer reviews, so AMAZON hear me out, quit being greedy fucks, and start providing incentives to consumers who pay you, and those who review for free (idiots).

Even if they offered money towards future purchases, or something of that nature, this site very well could knock every other content site out of the park.

Sims 3: Generations- Coming Soon!!!

Fans of the Sims 3 PC game can all celebrate the fact that last months rumors about a new expansion pack called Sims 3: Generations, is in fact no longer a rumor, but a hard fact!


This particular expansion pack seems to focus more on children and teens, which is something the Sims 3 sort of overlooked, not just in this particular Sim game, but every game prior to that. Even the Sims 2 did not
focus too much on children and teens. They were sort of just there, fun to look at, but not very fun to interact with or even bother with until they became old enough to go to college.

Now major events occur and follow your Sims around throughout their life. Children can have imaginary friends, teens can pull pranks and throw parties.

Fear not though, adult Sims are not ignored, as they too will have some new and refreshing game play for you to toy with, such as having a midlife crisis.

After peeking at the released Generations game trailer, I was pretty excited to see an array of new things that will be added to the base game once this expansion pack is released. Eye spy a new baby stroller, which will allow our Sim parents to take walks with their baby, a new tree house fort, a sand box where Sim children can build castles, or destroy them. There seems to be a larger an grander elaborate set up for weddings, house parties, and even graduations. New themed outfits for children including old (not so missed) characters such as the princess and the dinosaur. A yard slip and slide is also spotted in the video as well.

Teens will be able to throw eggs at homes and plant stink bombs.

All in all things look interesting and fun in Generations. This is probably going to be one of the stranger expansion packs as it is different from anything else we have seen come from The Sims franchise. Personally though, I really miss weather.

The Sims 3: Generations is set for release on May 31st, 2011.

Recap of Season Premiere of Audrina on VH1

I do not watch commercials anymore, in this day and age the magical fast forward and record button was introduced to us VIA Tivo, and other recordable TV boxes. I had no idea that VH1 was airing a reality show based off of one of my Laguna Beach/ The Hills stars, and when I decided to channel surf I discovered to my luck that the season premiere to a new reality show, called Audrina would be airing that same night! Man TV stations need to come up with new means of advertising, because commercials are only seen by...well... I have no idea?

I was wondering how VH1 got hold of her, as MTV was the airing station of The Hills, where we last saw Audrina.

Instead of drama brought on by peers, this reality show focuses in on Audrina's actual family, which is interesting. We meet her mom, dad, and sibling's, and fans of The Hills may recall her tattooed sister as well. The neat thing about this reality show is that we get a more in depth inside look at what really goes on in Audrina's life.

The season premiere starts off with a glimpse at her doing a bathing suit shoot. Audrina looks fantastic as usual, but I did not really get the point of it, sex sells though, and I guess it was a good start to sucking in some male viewers who didn't follow the previous shows she has been in.

Anyhow, after the shoot, a whole lot of nothing of importance goes on. Audrina announces she wants to move out of her home, which was burglarized, and her argument with her parents is that she does not feel safe living there anymore. For some weird reason though, her mom does not like the idea of her moving. The show must go on though, and Audrina and her brother Marky go out looking at some real estate.

We get an inside look at the homes she is viewing, and it is more like MTV Cribs, featuring Audrina house hunting though.

Next we pull up to the household of Mr. & Mrs. Patridge. They are all seated for dinner and Audrina announces that she is attending a fashion show and wants her mom to come along. Her sister however is pissed and says, 'I wanna go, Mom is old!'

Really nice... really, really nice. Uhg. I liked her in old reality shows when she showed her face seldomly on The Hills, but I have a feeling by the sneak peeks into the season of Audrina, that I'll dislike her more and more. I guess what it boils down to, is that some just don't stop to realize that they have 1 mom, and only 1 mom. That's just my take though, in this case, it is what it is, but it sure is ugly.

The show ends rather quickly only giving a taste of what is to come, so far though it does not look all that worthy as of yet, for there to even be a consideration of a season 2.

Jersey Shore, Season 3 Finale Recap!!! Sam & Ron Spit For Good?

We left off in the Shore last week with Ron discovering from Arvin that he had in fact lip locked with Sam. Viewers were left anticipating the final blowout between the 2, unfortunately MTV made us wait for the finale

show down on the season finale, which took place last night.

The episode starts off right where we left off, Ron storms out of the duck phone room and starts the cuss fest with Sam.

Sam decides to call Arvin for herself in the midst of this battle. Mike is on Ron's side like a mosquito pumping his head with rage, while Sam tries to get Arvin to lie and say they never made out. Arvin is not having it, and I believed him, because why would he lie.

Ron is sick of hearing her yapping at Arvin on how they never kissed, and he yanks the phone from Sam and slams it down.

Sam runs away and somehow this fight ends up not being as bad as it could be, which is odd, either that it was edited severely, because the next skit shows the group having dinner together, and everyone seems just fine. This is why I am led to believe that this scene was edited, and happened before the fight.

At any rate all is kosher, or so it seems on the surface. The two talk it out, and Ron discovers that Sam did lie, that she did kiss Arvin, but it was way before she even knew Ron. He should just leave it alone, and not even care because it was so many years ago, he can't let it go though, as she did lie, and did in fact call him up to meet her at the club a few episodes ago. However he says that its fine, you know this is just the beginning to another explosive fight that will likely take place later on.

Anyhow, the group has an invite to a BBQ and they are allowed to bring 2 guests each.

We got to watch last weeks episode when we saw a new side of Vinny, who is usually the only down to earth guy in the Jersey house; transform into a real gigantic annoying obnoxious jerk. I guess like the Sitch, fame has gotten to his ugly little head.

He ends up steering his beady eyes over to Lisa, one of Deena's guests at the BBQ, and clearly he wants to have sex with her. Deena on the other hand should really learn to filter out her friends, because if Lisa was a good friend she would have just stayed away from Vinny, but instead, later on in the house, she asks Deena why Vinny is calling her a c*%k block. Basically Deena was protecting Snooks from getting hurt, and did not want Snooki mad at her if Vinny and Lisa were to hook up. Good call Deena. Snooki has feelings for Vinny, and like a good friend, she did not want to see Snooki hurt.

Lisa however continues to try and be near him, regardless of what Deena says.

Vinny on the other hand grows malicious and begins to taunt her throughout the remainder of the show, and goes as far as calling her Angelina.

Meanwhile Sammi is squawking in Ron's ear about how she dislikes Mike, and how she cannot be with someone who is friends with the likes of him. More psychotic control issues; Ron though is not having it, he tells her in a nutshell, 'too bad', Mike is his friend.

Oh sucka punch, he walks away.

Clearly though Ron puts Mike up to apologizing to Sam as he finds her the following morning and politely airs his apology and attempts to mend his meddling, and even though Mike can be a jerk at times, this season he actually seemed like the most level headed cast member. Yes, he likes drama, but honestly most of the drama he got swirled up into was never his actual doing, for instance, when he ratted to Snooki on where her stuffed animal was, and got dubbed the Snitchuation, he was in bed and had no clue a prank was going on.

With the Sam Ron drama, he was always pretty much on Ron's side, as he, and the others grew tired of Sam's antics.

Anyhow, fast forward to the final night, where they are all out in a club having a good time. Roger asks JWOW to be his official girlfriend, and the rest of the crew act like the new relationship status is an engagement announcement. A little overdone, but nonetheless, we cannot focus on JWOW or anyone else for too long, because as viewers come to realize, the majority of this show, even since the beginning has been focused on the toxic Ram (Ron/Sam) relationship.

Ron is nowhere to be seen, as we focus on Sammy yapping and laughing with a group of juice heads. Ron is near the bar and is onlooking. I had to ask myself, how would she act if that was Ron over there with a bunch of sexy girls, laughing and yapping, having a good time? She would go psycho, yet here she is, doing just that to Ron, while he looks on, growing more angry in the eyes.

Sam notices he is not there, and tries to wave him to come over to them.

He ignores her, and she walks over to him asking to come hang out. He states those are your friends, and I am with mine.


Uh oh!!!

Meanwhile, Snooki is already home, making a grilled cheese sandwich for a guy she brought home from the club. It's creepy, because this guy has the same voice as Vinny, her crush. They end up smooching.

Anyhow, Deena, Ron, Sam, Mike, Pauly, Vinny and JWOW end up leaving the club afterward and the beginning of the next fight starts.

Sam is drunk, probably more drunk than I'd seen her this entire season. She begins to mosquito question him on how he could leave his girlfriend alone. I'm confused now, I thought they were broken up?

He airs his anger out, and walks quickly ahead of her, leaving her behind like the tool she has been all season. Sam is clearly sad by this, and confused about why this fight is even happening.

The two end up having a blowout of a fight that ends up in the toilet, possibly some hidden meaning about the relationship finally going down the 'sh*&&er'.

The rest of the crew listen on.

The fight does not last long, but apparently it was bad enough for our poor muscle head Ron to walk away crying. Mike consoles him.

The final morning, during breakfast Sam and Ron step outside to have yet another conversation. Sam attempts to mend the issue, but clearly there is nothing even left to mend. Sam asks Ron if they are still going to be together, he says he needs his space. She asks 'Single?' he rises up, gives her one last look, and says 'yeah!'

The crowd cheers, Sam is left yet again looking like a fool.

The crew packs their belongings, and focuses primarily on the exit of Sam. Afterward Ron is right behind her, and you are saying to yourself, 'please Ron, do not call her name... do not!!!'

Thankfully he doesn't.

The seasons is wrapped up, and we will see what happens in season 4 when the cast heads to Italy.
