Mafia Wars Cheats and Tips: Las Vegas… Finally

July 27th, 2010

I have unlocked Facebook Mafia Wars Las Vegas episode over the weekend:

Just like what I mentioned in my first Mafia Wars Las Vegas post, I just gifted racks of Vegas chips to my friend and they gifted back until I collected some 40+ Vegas chips and tried the VIP access.

Luckily I got in :)

The game suggest that you have 50+ Vegas chips so that you have 20% chance to get Mafia Wars Las Vegas VIP Access but you can always try every 21 hours for your chance.

I am continuing giving racks of chips to my friends so that they can also get in Las Vegas :)

Mafia Wars Las Vegas Episode look and feel is great. The graphics seems to be smoother compared to other episodes.

The Las Vegas jobs lets you specialize on energy or fighting or properties.

My initial observations is that the energy requirements is similar to New York (very minimal energy) but Vegas Chips will be scarce at the beginning (but it will improve as you build your Mafia Wars Las Vegas Casinos and doing some routine jobs).

I am still trying out Mafia Wars Las Vegas and I will update my blog when I find other interesting stuffs about this mafia wars episode.

I was reading my friends blog when I chanced upon his post discussing what happened to a runner (Remus Fuentes) in the 21K who collapsed in the recent Milo Marathon last July 4, 2010. I was really shocked that this happened in a prestigious running event and I wondered why the mainstream media did not picked up something and report about this incident. I’m not a runner but some… Read the rest of this entry »

In Love and War: Dreamdate Lyrics

July 2nd, 2010

As a follow-up post to the Higante and Wasak Waltz Lyrics posts, I am featuring another song from the In Love and War Album of Ely Buendia and Francis M. This one reminds me of the old lyrics of eheads that have some sort of double meaning and it usually gets them into trouble especially the conservatives (remember Alapaap and the “drug” issue?). Definitely a cool and… Read the rest of this entry »

Aquino III and some personal comments to it in menardconnect.com.
