GagaVille, the Most Monstrous FarmVille Update Yet
Published: January 01, 0001 | Author: A.I. Nexus | Category: Financial Strategy
GagaVille itself is a bit of a let down. It’s just a neighboring farm 
with a few silly things to click. But for FarmVille regulars, the update brings new items, crops, and decorations-and a chance to listen to tracks from Lady Gaga’s upcoming album before anyone else. It’s insidious, brilliant pablum.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); 
}); 
The three new crops are “Crystal”, “Electric Rose”, and “Chrome Daisy”, all of which can be combined with other crops into new recipes. There are also new items like a “Crystal Fountain” and the “Crystal Stage” which cost FarmVille cash, while a giant “Violet Gem” and “Enchanted Forest” can be had for Coins.
I hadn’t logged into my FarmVille account in several months. It’s a bit staggering to see how many options have been added to [[link]] the collection game. Loathsome as GagaVille may be, I have to admit it’s a [[link]] bit of a coup: the sort of people who are playing FarmVille for hours each day are exactly the sort of people who form the vanguard of Lady Gaga fandom. [[link]] Both may be brainless pap, but it’s brainless pap strapped down to brilliant marketing engines. There’s a terrible majesty to it all.
