Animal Crossing - week six
On the day it was revealed that Japanese players are getting more exclusive downloadable items (life really isn’t fair sometimes), I finally managed to get to see the aurora borealis in my village, only to accidentally delete my snap of them when my finger brushed against the 1 button whilst changing the batteries in my remote. Grr.
Hence the snap above of me in my favourite haunt, The Roost. I’ve struck up quite the friendship with Brewster now, to the degree where he’s regularly offering me a splash of pigeon milk in my coffee. He’s carrying about thirty of my gyroids now, though I don’t have any full sets just yet. Talking of full sets, I’m amassing quite the collection of modern furniture, while my old-school Nintendo collection is also coming along nicely, my father-in-law sending me a ?-block through the post.
Speaking of my father-in-law, I was most perturbed to find that he received ten cards on New Year’s Day, to my pathetic one (from Moose the mouse). Proving that Animal Crossing really is a game where you get out what you put in, it’s clearly his regular visits to his villagers’ houses - once a day, every day, apparently - that made him so popular. In AC, pleasantries are always rewarded.
Having recently become slightly disillusioned with the game, City Folk is definitely sucking me back in, with its routine feeling almost soothingly repetitive rather than irritatingly so. Its numerous tiny graphical and aural tweaks start becoming more noticeable when you’re actively looking for differences as much as similarities, while being able to send letters online is a definite bonus. And the more friends you have, the more you’re going to enjoy it - visiting other villages to sell turnips on for the highest possible price is easy and allows you to make some serious bells in next to no time. And I wouldn’t have almost every type of fruit in my village - apart from cherries, if any WiiWii.tv readers can oblige - if it wasn’t for adding a few friend codes to my roster.
That, and the familiar old pleasures of giving your villagers silly greetings and changing your town tune (mine is now a fair approximation of Kings of Leon’s Use Somebody) remain. If Nintendo can get us westerners some DLC soon, then I might just stick with City Folk for a little while longer, even if I sometimes feel guilty for playing a game I’ve all but played before when I’ve so many other titles unfinished.
Ah well, The Capital Wasteland will just have to wait - I’ve got a styraco torso to find.ÂÂ

I was on at 4.30 and there weren’t any gates open. :s Odd.
EDIT: Just to double-check I’ve got the time right, can you confirm the time you posted that last message (above)?
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I feel so stupid =.= I just realized I’d never added you. I’ll for sure be on today ar 4:30 pm my time. and I’m now posting this a 8:00am
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Yeah, I tried again - doesn’t a heart come up next to a name when someone’s added you? I tried to see if any villages were open, but to no avail. Will try and visit you again tonight. Anything you need?
January 24th, 2009 at 3:28 am
my gates at around 4:40 and kept them open for liek ten minutes :s Well atleast its the weekend and it will be easier to make the trade off
Just give me a time and I’ll go to your town XD

Something’s clearly wrong, because it looks like you’ve not added me still. I was a little late last night, but there were no gates open at ten to five. Are you sure you’ve added me correctly? If so, I’m starting to wonder if there’s another problem that won’t allow me to visit.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I added you correctly the Outline of a heart is there and everything. I’m going to have my gates open most of the day today. So Lets hope it works.
