And Autumn came back today. Everything is brown again, and there are more weeds than I have ever seen before in my life. Like, 10 on screen at once. Spent far too long clearing them all. Ran an errand for Octavian, who asked me to take a present to Sally, and then Sally asked me to take a present back to him. Dirty. Mallary is still ill. I don’t really care though.
Bah. I’ve lost another animal – Bluebear. I don’t think I had his/her picture either, which is a pain. Kabuki is now well again, but Mallary is ill. Must be something going round. For some reason, I’ve lost Autumn too. The trees aren’t brown any more – they’ve gone back to being green. Very odd.
Apparently, some 12 year old Cuban kid can’t get his prize in a competition because the camera contains parts embargoed by the US. The US drew up the list in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. Apparently it is very worried about 12 year olds getting their paws on digital cameras in case they disassemble it and build a nuclear missile. Amazing. Nikon punishes Cuban boy for Castro
NOT GUILTY! I’ve completed the first case! Hurrah! The problem with talking about playing this game on my diary, is that it’s all too easy to spoil things for my millions of readers who haven’t yet played it. So there’s not really a lot to say, aside from the fact it was actually a pretty simple case, and really quite short too. But then, it is more of a “training” case. I’ve made a bit of a start on Case …
See? I actually have about 50GB free, so, uh, -3B should fit just fine. Probably.
OBJECTION! Oh my. Phoenix is just ace, isn’t he? This, the sequel to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (wot I completed last year) arrived today, and I couldn’t wait to get started. So I didn’t! Straight off, Phoenix gets smacked about with a fire extinguisher and loses his memory. This conveniently allows a tutorial trial to take place, with you defending the lovely Maggey who is charged with killing her boyfriend. It was amazing how quickly I got back into the …
Kabuki is still ill. I think someone poisoned him. Or rather, I hope someone poisoned him. Once again, not much else was going on in Cheese. Octavian (who keeps saying “sucker”, Mr. T style) asked me to deliver a letter to Purrl, I bought some clothes I hadn’t seen before, and I pulled a billion weeds (again), but that was about it. None of my animals were particularly chatty.
Totally fed up with this game now. I’ve managed a few more things in Zootopia, including the flying-to-get-monkeys-in-balloons, the test-your-strength, and a couple of others, but two are really, really annoying me. First up is the one where you have to go invisible and creep round a shooting gallery. You have virtually no camera control, so it’s hard. And it’s rubbish. Secondly, is the one where you have to get eight balloons for a monkey. I’d started it accidently many …
I have a new resident! His name is Octavian, and he’s an octopus. Obviously. I don’t know why he doesn’t die though, what with the lack of water and everything. Spent ages doing even more weeding, and then went to see K.K. Slider, who played me K.K. Technopop. It didn’t really sound much like technopop, but anyway. After that, I ran a couple of errands for my animals, and chatted with everyone. Kabuki is ill. He’s actually been ill all …
Oooky monkey oook eek! IRRITATING. So I’ve managed to get the warp spells for Zootopia and Moonhaven. Off I went to Zootopia, and managed to get all of about two “quests” done. I can’t for the life of me do any more though. I also got the spell for turning invisible too. Great. Then I thought I’d give Moonhaven a try. Nope. Could only find ONE errand to start, failed it as it’s plainly impossible, and then couldn’t find anyone …
What a dull day in Cheese. None of the animals had anything of interest to say, I’d started playing so late that Nook’s was shut, and the only thing I could really do was pick up more weeds. Rubbish. Looks like I’m coasting to the full year of play, then. I did get into Pudgy’s house though, and he’s got an Arwing or something in there which I need. Sadly, there’s no breaking and entering in Animal Crossing.
Ooook mook monkey ook eek mook ook EEK! Ook oooook monkey ei! ei! Oooook ei mook! EEK! Oook monkey ei ei monkey monkey oook! Ei! EEK! Mook oook monkey ook! And so on. That’s all the dialogue in the game. It is driving me mental. Also driving me mental is the camera. And the fact that the game just isn’t really all that great. And that I’m stuck – that doesn’t actually help. I’m still on Jungle Island. I can’t …
