Animal Crossing: Wild World
Mar 31st
I’ve been a bit lost this week, as p’anther lost her Animal Crossing cartridge.
It hasn’t been found, but she’s got a new one. No longer is she p’anther in Teacozy. Now she’s now P’anther in Vatican. (Yes, she capitalised her name this time.)
I’ve been helping her get set up this evening and I was pleased to see that one of my old animals that she liked has already moved to her town… wearing deKay’s “I LOVE ANAL” t-shirt design. Tsk. I don’t know why they all love that one so much.

Why is Frobert sick every Yay Day?
Does he have something to hide?

It’s an odd one.
It feels wrong somehow when I first start playing, but then feels natural within thirty seconds.
I’ve tried some of the new play modes. Not sure about them yet. They’re not as intuitive as plain old Tetris, but they might end up being worthwhile.

Just tried standard Marathon mode.
It starts slowly and gets faster fairly quickly.
Controls felt a bit off to me at first, slightly clunky, but I stopped noticing once the speed increased. Still, a bit odd.

My entry for the fishing tournament is a 42.0 inch sea bass.
Also caught a barred knifejaw for the first time, so that went to the museum.

Hooray!
After picking 250,00 bells worth of fruit and catching 15,000 bells worth of fish I’ve now paid off my current mortgage. House upgrade here we come!

This Animal Crossing game must be one of my most played games ever already. I’ve played it every day since I got it over two months ago, for anywhere between five minutes and four hours.
This evening I played for two hours while on the phone to p’anther. Went over to Teacozy to see and her villagers, then she came back and we pottered about in my kitchen for a while and she visited everyone and then it was back to Teacozy for a quick visit to post a letter. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But it filled a couple of hours in the blink of an eye.
Witchcraft, I guess.

Oh, bloody hell.
It’s been telling me over and over again that I need more trees. So I’ve kept planting and planting and planting…
And now it’s complaining that there are too many trees.
Grrrrrrrr.

So Whitney asks to come over. I leave the DS turned on with the sound turned up by me so I won’t forget. For half an hour. She finally comes round, refuses to rate me and only stays one minute.
Grr.
And according to Friga a cactus in a pot isn’t a houseplant. It’s been in my house for weeks now, thanks.
Grr.
And that bloody kitten’s back. But she wants to go to Teacozy, which actually is a town I’m likely to visit. The only town I’m likely to visit, really. So that’s okay. Still, that kitten’s very annoying.
Grr.
