Cafe World developer Zynga released a collection of “Totally Awesome” 1980s decorations, this week. Has it been long enough for garish neon colors and gigantic boom boxes to be cool again? Zynga is betting so.

New decorations include: Pink Neon Windows, Keytar wall hanging, Squiggles Floor tile, Giant Stereo Speaker, Aerobic Instructor, Neon Flamingos, and plenty more. Our inner nerd appreciates the collection of pixelated food, as well. Players can pick up a pixel pear, strawberry, burger, cherry, and more.

FarmVille developer Zynga has finally flipped the switch on the game’s long-promised storage cellar feature! With a maximum storage capacity of 500 items and a very small land footprint, the cellar should be the ultimate FarmVille storage solution.

Every player has been gifted a free cellar to kick things off, and the cellar is also for sale in the FarmVille marketplace for 10,000 coins. Initially, the cellar has no storage space – players must increase it by collection shovels. Each shovel collected boosts the cellar’s storage space by 2, meaning a total of 250 will be needed to achieve the maximum capacity of 500 items.

Shovels can be purchased in packs of 10 for 5 FV$, or players can gift them to one another in packs of 2 for free.

As an added bonus, as players collect shovels from their FarmVille neighbors, they are not just increasing their storage space. Exclusive rewards are also up for grabs:

10 shovels – Mole
20 shovels – Crystal Rock
30 shovels – Miner Sheep
60 shovels – Cave Gnome
100 shovels – Antique Tracter

Two weeks ago Mafia Wars developer Zynga announced that they were buying an armored truck, driving it out to the Nevada desert and… blowing it sky high! Nothing like a good old fashioned marketing stunt to get some publicity.

Today, Zynga upped the stakes even more. It has been revealed that legendary Hip-Hop artist Snoop Dogg will be the person pushing the plunger down to trigger the explosion. An official time was also set – the event is going down today at 6PM PST / 9PM EST. Players can watch live at MafiaWarsLV.com.

Treasure Isle developer Zynga released a new set of maps this week: Volcano Isles. The seven map set uses the same tiles and design as the Fire God Mountain volcano, but they play like traditional Treasure Isle stages, with set designs instead of randomized layouts.

The new maps are: Burning Phoenix, Jeweled Palace, Fairy Castle, Wrong Turn!, Old Gem Mine, Phoenix Roost, and Imp Fort. Three of the seven maps must be purchased with Island cash, and the remaining four are free.

Instead of containing gem gates, players must instead pay Phoenix Feathers to progress past locked gates. These feathers can be collected inside Fire God Mountain, similar to the Monkey Wrenches that can be collected inside Monkey Palace.

FrontierVille developer Zynga updated the game’s General Store today, releasing a wide variety of new homestead decorations. All the new items can be found under the Special tab, or on the first page of the Decorations tab.

The new items are: Sale Sign, Sheriff Statue, Lemonade Stand, Crates, Fruit Stand, Can Pyramid, Delivery Wagon, Sacks, and Trash Pile. Although some of these items are permanent additions to the FrontierVille store, others, including the stands and the wooden sheriff, are limited editions. These limited items are only available for two more days.
