Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)
Aug 6th
I paid off my final loan! Hooray! Tom Nook doesn’t own me anymore! I’m freeeeeeee!

Today I caught some fish and a tin can. I shot down a present from the sky, which turned out to be a mountain bike. Agent S gave me some old flooring. I’ve paid off all but 60,000 bells of my final mortgage now. The trees should have new fruit tomorrow, so I’ll hopefully be able to finish paying it all off tomorrow. It’s very exciting to finally be doing it after all these years.

Just some free battles. I’m trying to get everyone up to level thirty before I continue with the story. I’ve let some people lag behind – Gilles especially – so it’s going to take a little while longer.
I wish the windmill stage had tougher enemies on it – it’s gorgeous to look at.

Well, I tried to play this last night, but I was awful. Didn’t get close to any high scores in any of the modes I played.
I did get to 98% of Wax Off before dying, but that was the nearest I came to doing anything useful.

Picked 200,000 bells worth of fruit while Eastenders was on. Now only have to find another 70,000 to pay off my final mortgage and be free of Tom Nook forever.
Singstar (PS3)
Aug 3rd
No new songs today, but the wife and I rocked some old ones. We beat our previous high scores on just about every track we played. I’m not sure what was special about today, but I seemed to be just a little better than normal. I still can’t hit a single note in some songs though. Not sure why, but Losing My Religion is just impossible for me. And the less said about The Greatest Love of All the better.
Soul Calibur IV (360)
Aug 3rd
Oh dear. I’ve not even got to floor twenty and the Tower of Souls is getting hard for me. Maybe I need to work out how to play properly, but that sounds like an effort.
Went online for a few ranked matches and lost every single one – though today I did win a few rounds.

Last time I checked, deKay still hadn’t beaten my Deadline score, I’d got back above him in King, but he was winning everything else.
Got the Treaty Achievement today. Can’t do Wax Off, which is annoying as the status updates are quite distracting when I’m playing Pacifism. Not sure what the others are that I’ve got left to do, except for Smile, which will probably elude me forever.

A great big clump of story missions this evening. The story has gone in a slightly unexpected direction. One which is fine by me, but which has really mucked up my wife’s game.
Hopefully it’s not a permanent thing.

Fireworks night! Hooray!
And a new KK Slider song – KK Folk. How can this game still have new things in after all this time?
