About Playing Online Games Pro-Style

One of the most intimidating parts of getting started with online gaming is getting over the fear of screwing things up for other players. It's one thing to play a game and make mistakes at home, but it's an entirely different thing to play a game and make mistakes that can cause failure in the game plays of others. But there's no reason to let this fear stop you or another gaming newbie from having fun. This article will give you the in's and out's of online gaming so that you can start with the confidence you need to continue on.

The first step anyone new to online gaming should take is to first, learn how to play offline. You can read the game's manual and save yourself from seeing the infamous acronym, "RTFM" scroll across your screen. Know what that acronym stands for? It stands for "Read The Fu**ing Manual" and its spewed by serious gamers to vulnerable newbies who interrupt a game with questions like, "What is this place?" or "What am I supposed to do?"

You could search the web for game related discussion groups, FAQ's, and walkthroughs. And you could learn more from game specific Usenet newsgroups. In other words, you could do your "homework." Some of the kind of information you want to learn includes how to play, how to create characters, how to gather equipment, and how to implement some smart strategies. Trust us when we say your gaming comrades will appreciate it!

In addition to reading how to play an online game, you can familiarize yourself with the game's interface. Just as you searched the net for a game's textual instruction, you can additionally search the net for a game's screenshot (or series of screenshots). Having a graphical representation (.gif or .jpg image) of a game on your screen gives you a chance to memorize where all the game's controls are. Knowing where everything is on a game before you play will speed things up not only for yourself, but also for everyone else. No one wants to wait for you to search for an inventory panel or message screen in a game when the location of these items is obvious to everyone else.





Once you start with a game, don't let the pressure of staying in the game prevent you from doing the unthinkable: dying. A character dying in a game is inevitable at certain points, and unless you willingly let go of a lose-lose situation, you'll run the risk of holding the game up for everyone else. It's like a game of chess. If it's checkmate - it's checkmate. Call it a day and start anew. Whatever you do, don't hang around waiting for some magical fairy to come to your rescue. Please let your character die with dignity.

On the same token, you don't want to take dying personally. Remember that online gaming is still just a game. A character that dies in a game is not representative of your character as a person. Turn a death into learning experience. At the very least, you'll learn your way around an online game by learning all the things that you aren't supposed to do!

Above all else, ensure that your computer has what it takes to maintain the current pace of an online game. Don't try to play an online game with a slow computer or slow Internet connection. In fact, if you're still using dial up, find another hobby. A slow processor and connection will ensure instant death because other players aren't going to politely wait for their own defeat. They're going to squash you like a bug.

Hunt around for a computer that was built for online gaming and get a DSL or ISDN Internet connection. You'll need a fast processor, a high quality graphics card, and a sound machine to match.

By following these simple suggestions, you will have passed the "newbie" test and earned respect as a serious gamer much more quickly than if you stumbled your way through what others pride as "the ultimate hobby."

Make The Most Out Of Your Cafe World Menu

Cafe World on Facebook is quickly growing in popularity as people get tired of FarmVille and want to try their hand at running a restaurant in this new game. One of the most basic parts of the game is developing a proper menu which will lead to more earnings and a overall more successful restaurant. Through out this lens I will go through the main components of developing a strong Cafe World menu.

Watching The Clock In Cafe World

When you deal with food what you have to do is watch the clock for it does not take much for your dishes to spoil on the stove. In Cafe World different entrees take to prepare. Remember even if a dish is ready to go in Cafe World but there is no room on the counter than it is basically sitting there waiting to spoil. Spoiled food leads to unhappy customers, wasted income and one heck of a mess that you will have to clean up. Plan your meals around the clock so if you know you are going to be away from the game for a couple of hours make sure the food you start cooking will take at least three hours to cook leaving you with time to get the food out to the customer and make money.





Make A Lot Of Money In Cafe World

When it comes to preparing a menu in Cafe World what the main goal should be is to make the most money possible. Too many players in games like FarmVille and Cafe World tend to see a high sticker price and that is the item they go with but that is not how you get on the road to success. What you need to do is see what item will serve a good number of customers with that one dish for it does not make any sense to prepare a fancy meal for two people when you have twenty customers sitting in your restaurant waiting for food. By serving one dish you can keep on preparing that dish all day and all night and not have to worry about running out of food but if you are using multiple dishes of food you need to keep a close eye on your serving counter to make sure that it can handle all of the dishes

Cost Per Serving Is The Key To Fortune In Cafe World

Cost per serving is basically what does it cost the restaurant to prepare and serve a specific dish. As a blossoming restaurant order you want the difference between what it cost you and what you charge the customer to be as big of a difference as possible. If your cost per serving is too close to the selling price you are going to run into difficulty no matter how many dishes that you sell.

Cafe World Cheats How To Level Up Fast In Cafe World

Cafe World is quickly becoming an internet favorite with everyone switching from FarmVille over to the latest game by Zynga and now you are searching for the Cafe World cheats on how to level up fast. Well there is no actually cheats for Cafe World but what is available is a number of strategies that will help you quickly advance in the game. Through this particular Squidoo lens I will provide you with a number of Cafe World strategies to get your restaurant career blossoming

Cafe World Cheats Presents Pick The Right Dishes To Make Extra Cash In Cafe World

This following strategy is going to test both your time constraints and your patience. Lets say you have the next few hours to play Cafe World solid so what I want you to do is concentrate on two dishes: Bacon Cheeseburgers and Chips and Guacamole both of which can be prepared very quickly and pay out at seven points and five points respectively. If you can continue to create these two dishes over and over again it will blow away and other dish including those that take a day to prepare.



Cafe World Cheats Presents The Perfect Kitchen And Scheduling Set Up For Massive Gains

Later in Cafe World the two stats which are going to matter more than the rest of them is your buzz rating and how many coins you earn per hour and it is a very good idea to prepare for this very early in the game. If your kitchen is not set up the right way which allows all of the product to be prepared and served properly and if your staff is able to move easily through out to the restaurant it needs to be kept this way or else everything is going to suffer. Look at the schedule and make sure your Cafe World matches your real world schedule for there is no point preparing a dish if you are not going to be able to return to the game and grab it before it spoils. Making no food cost money, making food that spoils costs a lot more money.

Cafe World Cheats Presents Hello Neighbor, Neighbor, Neighbor

Cafe World is just like FarmVille and Mafia Wars in that it is a social game and the more neighbors you have the better off you are going to be and the faster you are going to advance through the levels. Neighbors do help by lending a hand around the restaurant, by sending you gifts and that you can visit them getting twenty coins in the process. Now there are a number of websites where you enter your name and agree to follow all of those before you and all of those after you which is a royal pain and never work the way they are intended. My way has neighbors lining up begging to be let in and this ultimate Cafe World Cheat is located in the Cafe World Domination strategy guide.

Cafe World Money Cheats

So you have been looking around the web searching for Cafe World money cheats and you have found my little corner on the web. There actually is not pure so called money cheats but there are a number of strategies that will help you make as much coins as possible which I will outline on this particular Squidoo lens. So lets get started and make you some money.

Cafe World Money Cheat Number One


With Cafe World it is almost expected that you will be playing this online game for twenty four hours but unless you are a robot this is just not possible. So in order to get around the clock and make the most possible money you need to be watching the timer. If you are going to be playing for hours on end then there is no problem using quick items such as bacon or cheeseburgers but if you are unable to play twenty four seven than you need to plan what you are preparing based on your time constraints. Remember the second food spoils it is going to cost you a fortune and set back your Cafe World establishment severely.





Cafe World Money Cheat Number Two

Visiting your friends in Cafe World is a great way to make extra money each and every day. Cafe World does have a limit of twenty visits per day so that should be kept in mind. The so called friend visits pays out at twenty coins per visit so you can see how quickly that will add up. Along with visiting friends you should be monitoring your gifts and remember when you give you also will receive. Figure out which friends are great at sending back presents and make sure they are on your priority list.

Cafe World Money Cheat Number Three

Maximize you cost per dish is the key to making money on Cafe World and it is also the secret to making money in the real world in the restaurant business. The amount that it costs you for preparing a dish, cooking and serving equals out to your cost per dish. Now the amount that the customer is charged minus the cost per dish equals revenue. Remember that the second a dish spoils you are unable to serve it which means all of the cost in preparing the dish is now an expense plus on top of that you now have an angry customer.

Cafe World Strategy Guide

There is another guide out for those social networking games. I just saw it on the forums for Café World last week and while at first I scoffed with everyone else (it’s a favorite pastime on the Zynga forums to scoff at the guides), I quickly found that the guide was actually a lot more useful than we were giving it credit for.

When I Checked it Out

I wasn’t going to check the guide out. But, then I started to ask around and heard a few good things about how it had been helping players start to build their cafes up from nothing into relatively high efficiency restaurants – something that I had repeatedly failed to do with my own café.

After a day or two of waffling, I gave in and checked the guide out and boy am I ever glad I did. To be frank, the guide really does everything it claims to do – something I’ve never seen a guide do before. From start to finish, the Café World guide (which is the first of its kind that I’m aware of) shows players how to dig down and learn how to be one of the best players in the game.



It shows you how to pick your foods, how to develop a strategy for leveling that doesn’t waste any time, how to get new neighbors and how to get things done without ever needing to spend real world cash on the in-game money or having to fill out countless surveys to get it done.

In short, the Café World guide is a big giant blueprint that shows players how to go from level 1 to the top of the game in a streamlined path. It doesn’t give you step by step directions like other game guides because that’s not how these games work. Rather, it shows you how to cater your play style to your own schedule and do well with the time you have to invest.

When you can do that, even a part time player can be a top ranked Chef. Check it out now

The Inside Scoop on the World’s First Real Cafe World Guide

There are a lot of different social games on sites like Facebook and MySpace. I’ve seen a dozen of them in the last few months blow up and frankly I didn’t get it at first. I saw people playing very simple, albeit free, games and while they looked interesting enough, they really weren’t all that engaging considering what they were.

But, then I started playing Café World. Don’t ask me why it was Café World. It could have been any of them probably. They’re all the same generally, and in that they are extremely addictive. But, it was Café World and now two months later I’m a bit of an addict – I love this game.

So, when I heard there was a guide coming out for it that would help to speed things along, I was first in line to read it. I wanted to know exactly what it was that this Café World guide could offer that I couldn’t figure out on my own.



Turns out, it was quite a bit. As of the two month mark, I was roughly 25 levels into the game. I would play about 3-4 days a week, and the last day would rarely count because I would usually let all my food spoil in the interim when I took the weekend off.

The Cafe World guide, however, showed me exactly how to outline and master the process of what to cook, when to cook it and how to set up the café before I logged off each night. Turns out you can actually make quite a tidy profit while not even logged in – for days on end if you want.

I couldn’t possibly touch on all the cool things that this guide does right, but here’s the bottom line – Café World is a tough game without some guidance. There are dozens of dishes, possible combination's and ways for you to mess up with. This Cafe World guide, I was able to create the perfect combination of tactics. I’m now at level 45 and have way more cash than I’ll ever need – and I’m having more fun than ever. That’s what a good guide should do.

Do You Really Need Help to Master Café World?

So, I saw something the other day that caught my eye, and at first I couldn’t tell if it was in a good way or not. The thing in question was a guide for Café World – one of those PDF guides that tells you how to get through a game without having to stop and think about anything. At first, I thought it was silly – this is just a social game after all.

But, when I thought about it some more and how hard it is to get anything done in this game without a good chunk of real world cash or willingness to spend immense amounts of time in it, I wasn’t shocked to see that the game had a guide out already and I decided to check it out and see how it worked.

My Verdict

The Café World guide has been written to help guide you through every aspect of the game from start to finish. Basically, you are going to get an outline that shows you how to set up an account then effectively choose which dishes you cook, how you cook them, and who you will feed them to. The guide will then go on to showcase some hot tips on how to keep your café growing as you are offline, loading up on cash and making sure nothing ever spoils.



You’ll learn how to snag new neighbors, load up on cash and expand your restaurant without needing to ever spend real world cash on a game that doesn’t require it. This is basically one of the most streamlined and effective outlines of how to play this game I’ve ever seen.

Honestly, I’m not sure how the writer did it. These social games are so disjointed, that most of the time guides like this are just giant lists of features in the game, without any real insight. This guide however delves right to the root of what you need to be doing to succeed and never lets up.

If you need a helping hand or are just getting started in Café World, you ought to check out this guide. I’m telling you – it really helps.

Cafe World Cheats How To Set Up Your Cafe World Cafe

Set Up Your Cafe World Restaurant The Right Way

Author: Terry Connor

A lot of the fun of playing Cafe World is the fact that you can customize your cafe in all sorts of ways. You can choose to add many different kinds of tables and chairs, doors and windows to create just the atmosphere you're looking for. You can also select from any of a number of other tasteful and interesting decorations. There are even several stylish options for the clothing that your own character wears.

But no matter what you decide to do when it comes to decorating your cafe, you need to remember that the way you set up your tables, chairs, counters and stoves will not only impact the ambiance of the place. It will also have a lot to do with your ability to succeed in the game and grow you business overall.

Easy Access Means Easy Money


First and foremost, you need to arrange your furniture so that your customers will actually be able to get to all of the available tables and chairs. If you have, for instance, three chairs in a row up against a wall, the middle chair is simply wasted space. Your customers can't walk past the outer chairs to get to the middle one, so you'll actually likely lose customers needlessly when they walk in and can't find a place to sit.

Since you know you never want to let customers walk away unsatisfied, you want to make sure that you have enough seating. It's easy to lose site of this aspect of your cafe. After all, you're the most actively involved in preparing and serving food – trying to make sure you always have food available and that the food on your stoves doesn't sit there too long and spoil. But none of that careful planning will do you any good if you don't have tables and chairs available for your customers to sit and eat at.

Save Your Waiter's Legs



Even when your customers are able to find an empty seat, they'll only wait so long to get their meal. That's why you need to make sure you set your tables up in a way that makes it easy for your waiter or waitress to get around. The quicker they can get back and forth from the serving counters to the tables, the easier it will be for you to make sure every customer who walks through your door gets their food in a timely manner.

Another thing you can do to help give your wait staff more time to serve your customers is to give your customers a long walk to their tables. This means essentially putting in a lot of twists and turns so that your customers will have to take the long way around from the door to their seat. Being generally rather agreeable, your customers really don't mind this at all. And the extra walking time for your customers means more time for your waiters and waitresses to stay caught up on their serving cycles. If you keep these items in mind as you add more tables and chairs to your cafe, you'll be well on your way to success in Cafe World.

Gift Giving In Cafe World

How to Get the Most out of Gift Giving in Café World

Author: Terry Connor

One of the cooler aspects of the wide array of Facebook games made by Zynga is that you can give gifts freely to anyone that you would like to share them with on your friends list. This gift giving is prompted each day and it costs you nothing. What’s more, you can often give and then in turn receive some items that are not available for purchase, especially during holidays and special events in the game. In short, if you’re not taking advantage of the gift giving process, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity that could greatly expand your café.

How to Give Gifts


Gifts are a part of the basic game play of Café World. You don’t have to do anything special to give a gift. You just need to login each day and hand out whatever you have available in your current gift menu. There is a daily limit to gift giving, but it is usually much lower than what your friend count will be. In Café World, these gifts come in the form of appetizers, cookies, and drinks that are well received by most of your neighbors as being relatively useful items.

You can also give gifts that are not on the gift menu, buying items from the store and giving those as gifts. This is largely unnecessary though as your fellow players can get those items on their own with Café Coins and will most often prefer to receive the gift menu items instead.

How to Get Your Own Gifts

So, how do you go about turning this amazing system on its head and getting your own pile of new gifts to add to your café? It starts by giving out your own gifts. People are prompted whenever they receive a gift to reciprocate the giving with their own gift. So, if you send someone a new coffee drink, they will be asked to send something back to you. The game doesn’t require you to ask – it does the hard work for you.

Most players will gladly reciprocate because they want to keep getting gifts from that friend (just the same as you). The key then is to send out gifts to everyone on your friends list every day so that you can get gifts back from each of them. Those friends that are neighbors in the game and logon each day will then be able to send things back your way. That is what you should aim for when you send out gifts – receiving similar gifts in turn to deck out your café.

So, ultimately, if you are interested in becoming one of the top players on the Internet to give and receive gifts, you need to go out and start loading up on new neighbors that you can get the gifts from and give them to. This is a major part of the game play of Café World and something that every player should spend careful time mastering.

The Key to Making Coins in Café World

<

Like just about any other Facebook game out there right now, the goal of most Café World fans is to make as many coins as possible. The cost of getting all that extra Café Cash is largely prohibitive at best, but coins can be gathered relatively easily and in large amounts, depending greatly on how much time you have to invest into the game each day. If you spend hours a day playing the game, you’ll make a lot of coins. But, there are some things that work better than others – hence, this article. Let’s take a look at some top coin making tricks for Café World.

Creating a Schedule that Works

Café World is built around the idea of you being logged into the game and playing as much as possible. If you cannot do that, you need to adjust your game play strategy so that you can still make a decent chunk of coin without being online all the time.

How do you do that? To start with, you immediately cut out all the items that are cooked right away. If you’re not logged on to the game more than once every 24 hours, you should not be cooking bacon or cheeseburgers that can be done in just 5 minutes. You should be cooking stews and pot roast – dishes that will take a full 24 hours to complete.

If you don’t cook dishes that take that entire timeframe to cook, you’re going to be stuck with a whole array of spoiled food, which is ultimately wasted coins that could have gone toward other dishes or upgrades to your café.



So, you should create a schedule, even if you just do it in your head real quick. When can you login each day and for how long? If you know you’re going to be online all day, such as on a Saturday, feel free to cook up those short dishes.

The Right Balance

Just because a dish fits you time frame doesn’t mean it’s a valuable dish though. You also need to be sure that it has a good coin per hour rate. To determine the coin per hour rate, divide the number of coins you will make by the hours it takes you to cook and serve that dish. For example, if you will make 100 coins with a dish that takes 4 hours to cook, the coin per hour rate is 25 coins.

In addition to finding dishes with high coin per hour rates that match your schedule, you can visit your fellow players and help them out around their cafes. This might seem like a little extra work, but you can make 20 coins per visit you make to each friend on your neighbors list each day. There is a cap of 20 visits per day, but that’s still 400 coins a day just for doing a little traveling.

What you do with your coins is entirely up to you, but you may as well have a lot of them to make that decision with. Cook the right dishes, do some visiting and have fun decorating your café as much as possible.
