Rubbish! Octavian has moved out already. I’d barely had a chance to speak to him about anything and already he’s gone. I suspect one of my other animals likes to eat squid or something. Aside from him going, I did my usual load of weeding, and bought a few things I didn’t already own. None of my animals wanted me to run errands for them again, and so there wasn’t really much to do this evening. Oh well – only …
Case 3 completed! Quite a difficult bit of cross-examining later, as well as some sideways thinking, and the real culprit was found. There was (as I expected, but not what I expected, if you see what I mean) a huge twist near the end, but it was all great anyway. And now, on to Case 4!
This is getting quite dull now. I’m pretty bored with collecting stuff, can’t really be bothered with turnips any more, I rarely get asked to run errands, don’t fancy fishing, and the weeds multiply exponentially so my heart isn’t really in picking them every single day. Had a conversation with Nook about his fashion sense, and seemed to lose my new resident Nibbles already – I can’t find her anywhere.
It’s a phone! It’s a PDA! It’s a portable web browser! It’s a bluetooth modem! It doesn’t actually work! Yet! It seems I need to wait a while (up to 24 hours) before it’ll actually connect with T-Mobile. Or something. But it is very shiny, no?
Aha! I figured out what it is I needed to know (and find) in order to get past Moe and Acro’s “lies”. I’ve uncovered stuff about the “accident” six months ago that put Acro in a wheelchair, and now I’ve made a start on cross-examining Acro in the court. Phoenix seems to know that Acro did it, but I’m not sure…
So that bit of trial went well, finally, and I’m back in the circus questioning people again. I’ve found that two of the performers (Moe and Acro)both have secrets I need to unlock with the stone thing that Maya gave me, but I don’t think I have the evidence I need in order to do so. It seems there’s something about an accident six months ago too, but I haven’t figured out what…
I have a new animal! And it’s another squirrel! I must have had all of them by now, surely? She’s sort of blue, and is called Nibbles. Obviously, being new, she didn’t have a lot to say as she was moving in, but none of my other animals had a lot to say either. Mallary is still at death’s door, of course, and I did get some clothes from Mable and Sable, none of which I’d seen before. And weeds. …
But you knew that, right? Up until just now, my blog was only viewable by me. How exciting that was! Now, though, everyone can see it. Hurrah!
Hmm. This seems to be the only game I’ve actually played all day. Which is a bit unusual for a lazy Sunday. I’m getting stuck into (but not actually “stuck”) Case 3 now, and it’s all set in a circus. There are some great characters again here – even better than most of them in the previous two cases. Max is FABULOUS, and Moe the Clown is hilarious (but mainly for all the wrong reasons). For example, see here. I’ve …
The original Phoenix Wright was funny. Really funny. Especially Sal Manella the film director. He hasn’t made an appearance (yet, at least) in the sequel, but today I came across Moe the clown, in Case 3. (picture nicked from here) And that’s not all… “In 1972 a crack clown unit was sent to prison by a clown court for a crime they didn’t commit. These clowns promptly escaped from a maximum security clown car…” Amazing scenes.
K.K. Slider night, and he played me “To The Edge” or something with a similar sounding name. Not a lot else was up in Cheese, aside from the usual mess of weeds and a few errands to run. Mallary is ill, still, but I didn’t get her any medicine because I’m evil like that. Mmm, duck soup.
Case 2 Completed! It turned out the thing I though had happened, had actually happened. Hurrah! That case was really rather long. I don’t recall any of the first four cases in the first game being that long (although the fifth case was huge), so I wonder if Case 3 will be even longer? I haven’t started it yet.
Hurrah! I actually managed to win some matches online! Quite a few of them too, all in Ranked Mode. Enough, in fact, to get myself an achievement. It would be nice, however, if people would play as someone other than Scorpion or Cyrax, and wouldn’t continually use teleporting and harpooning moves on me. That just isn’t cricket.
I finished the next bit of trial, and then it was back to the scene of the crime to uncover more clues. Upon on uncovering one of them (and opening up the Hotti Clinic, where a seemingly-fake hospital director resides, and is somewhat lecherous), I think I’ve figured out the whole case. How I go about proving that in court, however, I don’t know. Yet.
I’m finding this second case somewhat harder than the first! I’ve had to restart Gumshoe’s cross-examination several times as I missed things and had no idea what to present. It threw me that you have to present the same bit of evidence more than once. Anyway, managed to get past that bit now, and have another witness to “play” with.
