Pioneer 7.1CH 3D Ready A/V Receiver
Appliance of Easy Virtue
Some receivers save themselves for that special signal source. This Pioneer will have any AV source that stumbles into its ports.
Smartphones, tablets, PCs, Bluetooth devices, iPods - even the Internet. The Pioneer VSX-1022-K doesn't care where video or audio has been, or what filthy conditions it make have picked up along the way. It's ready to play in 1080p, all the time, and it doesn't ask any questions about anybody's past. It's even 3D ready - if you are.What gets you going, sailor? Ethernet? USB? AirPlay? Get after it, big boy. The Pioneer VSX-1022-K is always ready, totally willing, and very able. The things it can do with those 6 HDMI ports alone would get it arrested in Tijuana.And the flexibility, jumping jiminy, the flexibility. 7 channels of amplification and 9 channels of speaker connection for your audio to have its way with. Maybe you're into a front-height setup, or a split between 7.1 for video and two dedicated music speakers, or maybe just a vanilla 7.1 surround with back speakers. The Pioneer VSX-1022-K is always ready to service those with, let's say, specialized tastes.
Of course, this all comes at a price. But for you? You're cute. Tell you what, the Pioneer VSX-1022-K will cut you a deal this time. What do you say, stranger? Ready to have a little fun?

MyTown 2 Getaways: When app updates go bad
Around a year ago, iOS developer Booyah released MyTown 2, an update to the original MyTown that allows players to build a town of their dreams using real world businesses to earn virtual money. Now, Booyah has released MyTown 2 Getaways, a brand new app that will carry over your original progress, but with some interesting additions and reductions when compared to the first game.
MyTown 2 initially sounds worth the update, as you can bring over your progress from your first town, but can now build in two additional locations: a beach and lakefront. Players can also complete a variety of new collections for exclusive rewards not available in the store, and they can build water-themed content.
Unfortunately, MyTown 2 Getaways comes with the same major problem faced by so many other Booyah games: it constantly crashes. This is especially concerning, as the app has already been updated with "improved performance" just this week, which apparently did nothing other than clear up some formerly blurry graphics. While social features are still available, and you can still visit your friends, there's also the chance that you might lose some of your money in the transition into this new game. In my own personal experience, for instance, I left MyTown 2 with around 50,000 coins, and started MyTown 2 Getaways with 16,000, indicating some sort of bug in the transition process.
Ultimately, MyTown 2 Getaways is another example of a game that has the best of intentions, but probably shouldn't be downloaded until it's updated a few more times.

Badvertising: Does Samsung Really Want You to Make a Sex Tape?
There are people whose livelihoods depend on crafting advertising that speaks to you, the average college-educated white male aged 18-35. So when it goes awry we like to present it here, in a little column called Badvertising, so we can all laugh and say, "No seriously. WTF?"
The ad:
A yuppie-ish bearded dad says goodbye to his family before heading off on a business trip. His adorable daughters joyfully exclaim that they made him a video, which they transfer to his phone via the "amazing" sync technology. As he hops in his cab, his loving wife leans in to mention that she made a video of her own for him to enjoy. Then, because Samsung isn't sure you got that reference as they beat you over the head with it, she adds, "Probably shouldn't watch it on the plane."
This ad is shot in that generic Instagram-looking fuzzy filter that all tech commercials use nowadays, and it's generic enough that I think most people glaze over it and don't hear that part at the end where the ad suggests how great this would be for sharing pornographic videos with loved ones. I first saw it over the weekend and three people I asked had to watch it again to pay enough attention to hear the wife's dialogue. Then all three responded with the exact same phrase:
"What. The. F---?"
Setting aside the dubious usefulness of "sharing playlists" or whatever (I can already see that's a feature you'll use maybe once, after you finally track down someone with the same phone, just to see it work and say you've done it before forgetting all about it), is this really what advertising has come to? I realize I might sound sort of like the elderly grandfather complaining about Elvis's gyrating hips, but come on. I get it: sexting is ubiquitous; do we really need to revel in it? And I say this as someone who fully supports your right to ruin your aspirations for political office and gainful employment via sending pictures of your naked body via SMS. As long as everyone's of age and consenting, I say go for it. Although given all the attention given to cell phone companies storing your data secretly and people being located and harassed by internet vigilantes thanks to the EXIF data in their phone pictures, I can't say I'd take the chance.
But as far as advertising a phone, stick to the cute photos of families and frolicking children. Everyone already knows whether or not they're going to use the 800MegaPixel camera for something filthy and indecent; we don't need advice from a gigantic Korean corporation about it. Who does this ad speak to? Sexually repressed young parents on business trips? That's a pretty niche market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of hormonal teenagers are asking for Samsung Galaxy phones this Christmas, but I guess that's kind of the point.

Bubble Safari Halloween Spooktacular: Everything you need to know
Just in time for Halloween, bubble shooters everywhere can now participate in a Halloween Spooktacular event in Bubble Safari. This event sees players collecting candy, building pumpkins and completing missions to earn sweepstakes entries for a grand prize that anyone would love. We're here with a look at this event, so let's get started!First things first, players can now collect pieces of candy by simply playing Bubble Safari. Bubbles will contain candy at the top of the screen, and when they're dropped, you'll have a chance for the candy to drop into the three barrels at the bottom of the screen. If it does, it will go towards your supply of candy back at the main menu, earning you one of three rewards at different candy milestones.
200 Pieces of Candy - 100 coins
400 Pieces of Candy - 200 coins
600 Pieces of Candy - 300 coins
On top of that, you can now work on completing Flaming Pumpkins, which can be built through quests. The first time you click on the build now button above, for instance, you'll be taken to a quest asking you to get three Seeds and three Wands. Both of these items can be earned with friends' help, as you'll need to post a general request on your wall for the Seeds and send out some individual requests for the Wands.
While you're waiting for those items to arrive, you can continue to work on earning rewards and sweepstakes entries through a series of Halloween Spooktacular missions. The first mission, as an example, simply asks you to complete Level 18 with at least one star. Since most players are far past this point anyway, you'll instantly earn prizes like bubbles, coins, bombs and other power-ups. If you can complete this entire series of 12 missions within the next five days (as this event is unfortunately timed), you'll win the grand prize which contains 50 entries into the game's Halloween sweepstakes, a Permanent Level Peek, 10 Safari Cash, 1,000 coins, three Boost Bubbles and 15 energy.
Remember, completing missions and Flaming Pumpkins in this event will see you earning sweepstakes tickets, with the overall sweepstakes expiring in six days. For each ticket you earn, you'll have a chance to win one of three prizes: 1,000 players will earn 100 Safari Cash, while 100 players will win a permanent Extended Aim ability on their accounts. The grand prize for the sweepstakes is 10,000 Safari Cash, which should be enough to keep you in bubble-popping bliss for quite some time. Remember though, you can't win these prizes if you don't play the game, so make sure to play as often as you can throughout the next week to increase your chances of winning. Good luck!

George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill
Note The "Indoor" Part
I don't care about the cold, drizzly autumn weather! We're barbecuing on the patio to celebrate Home.Woot's first anniversary, and that's final!
It's not every day that our home-goods site turns a year old. In fact, it's only one day, ever. So we're not going to let a little rain and a little chill and a little gusting wind keep us from partying down.
And this George Foreman Grill makes it easy, so no whining. Look, we were able to cook a whole chicken just right thanks to the precision temperature controls. Now hand me that platter, these burgers are done. As soon as the nonstick surface cools down, we can clean it with just a few simple wipes.
So what if we had to stand out here in a slashing, icy downpour to get it done? After all the great deals Home.Woot has given us over the past 12 months, catching a cold seems like a small price to pay. I'm just glad we had this George Foreman Indoor/Outdo-

CityVille UFO Landing: Everything you need to know
If you're familiar with the Whale Rescue feature in CityVille that asks you to expand out into the water surrounding your town in order to rescue lost baby whales, you'll feel right at home with the newest event in the game: the UFO Landing. This event sees you building a UFO Landing site and then expanding your city (not water) to reach four aliens that have been scattered around your land. This feature is available to players that have reached at least Level 15 in their cities, and we're here with a complete guide to finishing it off, thanks to Zynga. Let's get started!
Seeking Lifeforms
- Repair Alien Family's UFO to Level 2
- Find Papa Alien
- Get 12 Alien UV Goggles
The Alien UV Goggles are earned by asking your friends to send them to you, but since your requests are limitedeach day, make sure you ask for these items early and often until you have all 12. To repair the UFO Landing site, you'll need to collect a variety of building parts, starting with 12 Cockpit Controls. Throughout this event, you'll need to ask your friends for items or can earn them by tending UFO Landing themed buildings that are available in the store. These buildings are items like a Deep Space Communications Community Building or the Rocket Dealership Business, both of which are available for coins. Finally, to find Papa Alien, you can click on the "Show Me" button which will take you to the expansion that you need to reach that contains that particular alien. Once you can interact with him, simply move him next to the UFO to finish this task and goal. You'll receive two Zoning Permits and 50,000 coins for finishing this goal.
Launchpad
- Collect from 10 UFO Themed Buildings
- Find Mama and Baby Alien
- Repair Alien Family's UFO to Level 4
Luckily, two of these tasks can be completed at the same time, as you'll need to collect from buildings for the first goal task, but can also earn collectibles from those buildings, so you should be collecting from them anyway. The process to finding and moving both Mama and Baby Alien is the same, so expand your city until you reach them and then pull them back to the UFO to continue. You'll receive 200 XP and four Zoning Permits when you finish this goal.
New World
- Get 20 Sparkling Space Rock
- Completely Repair Alien Family's UFO
- Find Alien Dog
There are seven items you need to collect in all for the Alien Family UFO, so while you're working on collecting those materials from friends or themed buildings, you can also work on expanding out to the UFO Dog. You'll need to move it back to the UFO as well to finish the family, and will receive six Zoning Permits and 500,000 coins for completing this final goal. Good luck!

- Get 6 Medusa Muds
- Harvest 100 Green Toadstools
- Make Crystal Cocktail 3 Times
For this "Medusa Muds" task and every other task that asks you to "get" a specific number of some item, you'll need to ask your friends to send those to you via either individual requests sent directly to neighbors or general news posts on your wall. As for the Crystal Cocktails, these are made in the Haunted Hollow Potion Shop using two Spectre Berry, two Jack-O-Lantern and three Grape bushels each. Each of those take six hours to craft, while the Green Toadstools take 12 hours to grow. You'll receive 150 XP, a Stone Willow Tree and 3,000 coins for finishing this first goal.
Howler Housing
- Get 8 Lycansbane Leaves
- Harvest 124 Spectre Berries
- Make Cauldron Stew 3 Times
This Cauldron Stew recipe is also made in the Potion Shop, only here you'll need Sage, Tombstone and Tomato bushels to create one. Spectre Berries take a full day to grow, so make sure you plant those just as soon as you're done with the Green Toadstools in the goal above, even if you've yet to pass the first goal. That way, when you reach this second goal, you won't have to wait so long for them to finishing growing. Completing this second goal gives you 200 XP, a Werewolf Hut and 3,500 coins.
Praise the Sun!
- Get 8 Sun Smoothies
- Harvest 150 Sage
- Make Fire Brew 2 Times
Yet again, you're dealing with a long-term crop here, as Sage takes a full day to grow. Plan ahead appropriately though, and you won't have to actually wait a full day to progress once you reach this goal. If you're still waiting for these crops to grow, you can spend some time crafting Fire Brews, which are created in a three-star Potion Shop (remember to keep upgrading your Potion Shop by continuing to craft items, even if they're not required for goals). A single Fire Brew takes two Spectre Berry, one Sage and two Jalapeno bushels to craft. You'll earn 250 XP, a Solar Eclipse Tree and 4,000 coins when you complete this goal.
Moonlight Delight
- Get 8 Moonlight candles
- Harvest 20 Wormwood
- Improve Haunted Mansion to Stage 5
Wormwood takes two full days to grow, so this might be the time to bust out any sort of Instagrow potion that you may have in your inventory. If not, try plowing 20 new squares in the corner of your Haunted Hollow farm and plant these even from the very beginning of this goal series so that they're fully harvested and waiting for you when you get to this goal. As for the Haunted Mansion, you'll need to upgrade it using items like Cobwebs and Old Fences, which are earned through a combination of general news posts and individual requests sent to friends. Complete this goal to receive 300 XP, a Forest Warg animal and 4,500 coins.
Splice Thrice
- Get 9 Splice Creams
- Harvest 225 Sage
- Make Lucky Charm 3 Times
Again, Sage takes a full day to grow, so plant this as soon as you get close to reaching this goal to save time. Meanwhile, the Lucky Charms are another recipe that's only available in a Level 3 or higher Potion Shop, with a single Lucky Charm requiring three Tombstone, two Green Toadstool and one Lavender bushel to craft. Remember, you can claim bushels from your friends once per day, so stock up ahead of time to pass these sorts of goals more quickly. When you finish this goal, you'll receive 350 XP, a Banapple Tree and 5,000 coins.
One Sneeze Away
- Get 10 Polymorph Pollens
- Harvest 250 Zombies
- Make Werewolf's Bane 2 Times
This final goal requires the most amount of crops yet, but luckily, the crop in question, Zombies, only takes 12 hours to grow, unlike some others in this series that required two full days. Also remember that you can ask your full supply of FarmVille neighbors to send you items once everyday, so you should (in theory) have no problem racking up the 10 Polymorph Pollens. When you complete this final goal, you'll receive 400 XP, a Fuzzy Dragon animal and 5,500 coins.
Remember, you're limited to completing these goals over just the next week, so make sure that you're constantly working on these goals before they expire, taking their rewards with them. Good luck finishing them all!

Pioneer Trail Curse of the Mummy: Everything you need to know
A mysterious package has shown up on your Homestead in Pioneer Trail, and from the looks of things, this package is a massive sarcophagus containing, what else, a mummy! This delivery comes by way of a new goal series called Curse of the Mummy, and we're here with a guide to complete these goals, thanks to Zynga. You'll need to be at least level 20 to access these goals, so if you've already made it that far, you're ready to get started!
Mummy Dearest
- Place the Sarcophagus
- Clear 15 Debris
- Tend 20 Adult Pigs
The debris can be anything from Cacti to Grass, so we'd suggest tending something that you have a ton of on your land so that you don't eliminate something you might need later. For completing this first goal, you'll receive 150 XP, five Ancient Lilies and a Frankenscarecrow. The Ancient Lily is a crop that can be found on the game's free gifts page, and it takes seven hours to harvest.
Mummy Dearest #2
- Harvest 20 Ancient Lilies
- Uncurse 5 Mummy Pigs
- Finish Phase 1 of the Sarcophagus
Again, the Ancient Lilies are found on the game's free gifts page, so make sure to continually check your Gift Box to see if your friends have sent you any since you last checked. As for the Mummy Pigs, you'll find these at random when tending debris, just as you would find an injured critter under other circumstances. Similarly, you'll need to use Uncurse items to actually uncurse these mummy animals, with these items being earned by asking your friends to send them to you. Even after you finish this goal, you'll need more Uncurse items in the future, so make sure to ask for more whenever you get the chance. As for the Sarcophagus, the different "building" phases require you to collect even more items by bugging friends, and you'll even need to craft items like Essence Presses using Essence Jars (ask friends) and Tomato Presses (rarely drops when tending tomatoes). When you complete this goal, you'll receive 250 XP, two Mummy Trees and a Monster Topiary.
Monster Madness
- Harvest 16 Mummy Trees
- Uncurse 5 Mummy Sheep
- Finish Phase 2 of the Sarcophagus
The Mummy Trees are another free gift, and the Mummy Sheep can also be found by tending debris. That makes this goal fairly straightforward, even if it is also time-consuming. For this part of the Sarcophagus, you'll need to collect even more items from friends and craft items like Silver Handcuffs. These Handcuffs require Sterling Chains (ask friends) and Ox Nose Rings (tend oxen), while other ingredients can be found by feeding adult goats or tending Mummy Trees. If you're ever confused about how to earn an item, remember to use the "hint" button next to each for a tip. Complete this goal and you'll receive a Vampire Potion, a Werewolf Potion and a Tough Hand Tonic.
Repair the Sarcophagus
- Chop Oak Trees 25 Times
- Find 2 Mummy Collection Items
- Finish Phase 3 of the Sarcophagus
This third phase of the Sarcophagus requires you to ask your friends for Colorful Gems and Liquid Gold, but the rest will be mostly up to you. You'll need to tend Uncursed Mummy Sheep and Adult Pigs for other ingredients, while also crafting Sparkling Pigments and Sarcophaglue. The Sparkling Pigments are created using Crushed Cherries (tend Cherry Trees), Lapis Lazuli (ask friends), and Dead Sea Salts (ask friends). Meanwhile, a single Sarcophaglue requires four Bonding Agents (ask friends) and four Sticky Juice (tend Pink Roses) to create, so you'll need to make sure to plant some roses and ask your friends for the appropriate materials along the way to not fall behind. When you complete this goal, you'll receive 750 XP, Mummy Trees and a Dragon Goose.
One Yummy Looking Mummy
- Harvest 40 Mummy Trees
- Harvest 30 Ancient Lilies
- Finish the Sarcophagus
This final stage of this Sarcophagus building project sees you collecting items like Khol Mascara and Moaning Boxes directly from requests sent to friends (so start pestering them early), along with tending Uncursed Mummy Pigs and harvesting Beets for some other items. As you might expect, there are also more crafting projects to complete here, as you'll need to craft Mummy Accessories using Pearfume (tend Pear Trees), Spray Bottles (ask friends) and Royal Circlets (ask friends). You'll also need to craft some Mummy Outfits by combining Gold Pins (ask friends), Linen Skirts (ask friends) and Wool Gauze. Adult Sheep will drop Wool Gauze at random, so even if you're not ready for this particular crafting project, make sure you have a ton of Adult Sheep ready to tend on your Homestead. When you complete this final goal, you'll receive 1,000 XP, two Aged Salmon and a Frankenfruit Tree.
On top of all of these goals, there's also a "wrapper" goal of sorts that can be worked on the entire time you're also completing this linear series.
Return to Sender
- Send the Mummy Back
- Uncurse 8 Mummy Pigs
- Uncurse 8 Mummy Sheep
Again, both the Mummy Pigs and Mummy Sheep can be found by tending debris on your Homestead. In order to actually send the Mummy Back, you'll need to complete all of the goals before this, including completing the construction on the Sarcophagus. As all of these tasks are likely going to be very time-consuming, just make sure that you exhaust all of your daily allowed friend requests so that your neighbors can help you as much as they're allowed. Good luck completing this feature before Halloween!

FarmVille Vampires vs Werewolves Goals: Everything you need to know
The rivalry between Vampires and Werewolves is an old one, and the war between the two clans has made its way to your FarmVille farm via a goal series with an appropriate name: Vampires vs Werewolves. Over the next two weeks, you'll be challenged with completing a series of nine different goals, giving you a little more than a day to complete each one. We're here with a complete guide to finishing these goals, thanks to Zynga, so let's get started!
Fangs a Lot
- Get 6 Vampire Novels
- Harvest 50 Raspberries
- Harvest Pet Run 2 Times
For this Vampire Novels task and any other task that asks you to "get" a specific number of some item, you'll need to ask your friends to send them to you either via individual requests sent directly to them or through general news posts placed on your wall. While you're waiting for those to arrive, you can grow the Raspberries, which take just two hours. Finally, the Pet Run task is one that can be completed across your many farms, as you can harvest multiple Pet Runs one time each, or you can wait for the same Pet Run to be ready after a 24 hour period. Complete this first goal and you'll receive 125 XP, a Vampire Costume for your avatar and 2,500 coins.
Howling Good
- Get 7 Werewolf Movies
- Harvest 75 Wheat
- Harvest Aviary Habitat 2 Times
This Aviary Task is similar to the Pet Run one above, as you simply need to harvest two Aviaries across your many farms, and not necessarily the same Aviary twice in a row. After you've harvested the Raspberries for the first goal, it's best to plant these Wheat right away, even before you get to this goal, as Wheat takes 12 hours to harvest and you can get a boost on things by doing so. Complete this goal for 150 XP, a Werewolf Costume for your avatar and 3,000 coins.
Cape Able
- Get 8 Black Capes
- Harvest 100 Red Tulips
- Fertilize 25 Crops for Neighbors
This Fertilizing task is an interesting, but easy one, as we haven't been asked to complete such a task in quite a while. Thankfully, you just need to visit five friends, clicking on five growing farm plots each to fertilize them. The problem here could come in if you only have friends that have quit playing (so their crops have withered) or use Fertilize Alls, as there would obviously be no crops available there. If that's the case, send out a message to some friends, and perhaps they'll be willing to plant five extra crops specifically so you can tend them. While you're messing with all of this, make sure you start growing those Red Tulips as quickly as possible, as they take a day to go. You'll receive a Turbo Charge, 175 XP and 3,500 coins when you complete this goal.
Toil and Trouble
- Get 9 Wolf Totems
- Harvest 125 Grapes
- Make 2 Witch's Brew
This is the first task that requires you to actually be on one farm over another, as the Witch's Brew is crafted in the Potion Shop in Haunted Hollow. There, you'll need one Ghoul Garlic, one Sage and two Red Tulip bushels to craft a single Witch's Brew. Remember to check your bushel count before you start harvesting those Red Tulips in the previous goal, and you should be able to claim enough to at least cross one of these ingredients off of your list without trouble. When you finish this goal, you'll receive 200 XP, a Bubbling Cauldron decoration and 4,000 coins.
Smell of Success
- Get 9 Wolfsbane Perfume
- Harvest 150 Tomatoes
- Harvest Wildlife Habitat 2 Times
As with the Aviary and Pet Run tasks before, you can harvest any kind of Wildlife Habitat on any farm, or can harvest the same Habitat twice in a two day period to finish that particular task. That is, a Winter Wildlife Habitat counts just as much as a non-themed building, so don't worry if those are the only kind you currently have available. If you do have to wait to harvest the same Wildlife Habitat twice, at least you also be wasting time waiting for tomatoes to grow, as they take eight hours. You'll receive 225 XP, an Unwither potion and 4,500 coins when you complete this goal.
Would Smell as Sweet
- Get 9 Garlic Necklaces
- Harvest 150 Aloe Vera
- Make 2 Cauldron Stew
The Cauldron Stew is another recipe that's specific to the Potion Shop in Haunted Hollow, so start those as soon as you can. A single Cauldron Stew requires one Sage, two Tombstone and two Tomato bushels to craft, so make sure you claim those bushels from friends as soon as you can, even if it means claiming them before you reach this goal (there's nothing like planning ahead). Completing this goal gives you 250 XP, a Werechicken and 5,000 coins.
Silver Lining
- Get 10 Silver Cages
- Harvest 150 Jalapenos
- Harvest Werechicken
For the fastest time harvesting that Werechicken, you should immediately place it in some sort of an animal building, whether it be the Monster Lab, an Aviary or otherwise. In that way, you might just have to wait a matter of minutes to harvest it, rather than a full day. If you do end up waiting a full day to harvest the chicken, you should also use that time to wait for the Jalapenos to grow, as they take eight hours. When you finish this goal, you'll receive 275 XP, a Mystery Dart for the game's weekly Mystery Game and 5,500 coins.
A Lot at Stake
- Get 11 Garlic Nets
- Harvest 150 Coffee
- Harvest Livestock Habitat 2 Times
As we get into these higher crop requirements, it's worth repeating that you can plant crops across your multiple farms to plan ahead. Since coffee takes 16 hours to grow (and at least 16 hours after that to wither), feel free to plant these coffee squares long before you ever reach this goal so that you won't have to wait for it to grow once you do make it this far. Completing this goal will see you rewarded with 300 XP, a Vampire Cow and 6,000 coins.
The Showdown
- Get 12 Halloween Ballots
- Harvest 200 Sunflowers
- Master Werechicken to 1 Star
If you've placed the Werechicken from above into an animal storage building, you'll need to make a special note of that in your mind and remember to tend the building once everyday. It should only take a few harvests to earn the first mastery star, but time can quickly slip by if you're not paying close attention. At some point, you'll likely find yourself waiting the 24 hours for the Sunflowers to grow, but if you use this guide to your advantage, you can actually have those sunflowers completely grown and waiting for you by the time you get to this final goal. Just make sure that you don't plant them so far ahead of time that you have to waste an unwither because it's been so long. For finishing this final goal, you'll receive 325 XP, a blue and black Hornet Sheep and 6,500 coins.
Remember, these goals are only going to be available for a limited time, so use all of your farms and friend requests each day to stand the best chance of finishing them off. Good luck!
