I started the game at Weatherleah, and decided to head to Skingrad to progess the Nirnroot quest, as I had enough of the herb to do so, and it was just a quick cross-country job south from where I was. It didn’t take more than a few minutes, but I found both a wayshrine and an Oblivion Gate along the way. Erk. After speaking to Nirnroot Man in Skingrad, and finding he now wanted another 20 of them, I thought …
No! Margie is trying to move out! That will not be permitted. To try and convince her to stay, I sent her TEN letters, begging her not to move away from Cheese. I spoke to her loads as well, and told her not to go. She will stay. I hope! Bought everything from Nook again too, and ordered a few more moons. I have about 1,700 points left before I’m a Platinum member. No turnip sellage today, although Nook offered …
No issues today either, meaning my 26 the other day was just some kind of blip. Or Satan possessed my DS, or something. Yes, that’s the most likely explaination. So today’s Brain Age? A totally perfect 20, of course!
I got this today from my brother. He’d bought it for my birthday, but that was a few weeks ago. Never mind! So my wife and I played three Short Games. It was surprisingly good fun, actually. There were a few questions where neither of us had even heard of some of the artists mentioned, but that didn’t really matter. Of course, I won all three games, although I nearly lost the third one and had to claw back victory …
Did plenty of stuff today. Aside from the usual moon and shopping shenanigans, I visited all my animals and talked loads to them. I was hoping to get another picture from one of them, but no. I’m “good friends” with most of my animals now, especially Friga, Nan and Margie, but none of them want to give me their picture. Stupid animals. Lucky was sick again today, so got him some more medicine. I hope he dies. I also hope …
Aha! Much better today, and no silly 8 misrecognisation problems either. I’m sure the game just hates me sometimes. Anyway. 20 seconds for Calculations x20, a new entry on the Top 3 for Number Cruncher, and a reasonable time for Maze Thingie gave me a Brain Age of 20. Hurrah!
TWENTY SIX? WHAT? Rubbish. I can see why I got such a bad score (well, bad in comparison to the last two weeks or so, anyway), but it wasn’t my fault. I did extremely well in Calculations x20 (17 seconds!) and the maze thing (second place), but then Number Cruncher simply refused to accept my number 8 for a good minute or so. I really should have just turned the DS off and started again, but no. STUPID.
Lucky was ill today, and was hallucinating. He said something about eating yummy fluffy clouds, which frightened me a bit, so I left him to die. Also bought more moons, and everything in Nook’s. Sahara was about today too, and I ran some errands for her and got a carpet. Sadly, it wasn’t Citrus Floor, which I’m really desperate for, but can’t find anywhere. Except in on of my animal’s houses, of course. KILL THEM. No turnips sold either – …
Spent a while producing scamps and skeletons to raise up my Conjuration stats a bit, and then decided to go to Cheydinhal, since I’d never been there before and it’s the location of the next bit of the Thieves Guild questline. To get there, I warped to Imperial City, and the set off East on foot. Had a few bandits to contend with on the road, but they were easily killed with the help of a scamp! Explored Cheydinhal for …
Some absolutely stunning scores today (if I do say so myself), particularly on Syllable Count, where I beat the previous high score by a couple of seconds, and on Calculations x100 where I shaved 5 seconds off the top time. Sadly, I didn’t get a Brain Age of 20 over all, despite all that aceness. I got 21. Yeah, so it’s not bad, but I did get first place on the scoreboards on one test, and joint third on both …
Today is Yay Day again, but I mostly ignored that fact and just got on with the important task of buying turnips and selling fruit to make money to buy more turnips. They cost 96 bells today, and I spent about 265,000 bells on them. Not loads, but I didn’t want to break into my 10,000,000 again. I’d have had more, but all my money this week has been going to Nook for moons… Speaking of moons, two arrived in …
Despite the lateness of the hour, and the lack of concentration I was suffering when doing the daily training (the less said about some of the scores the better), I still managed to not only get a Brain Age of 20, but I also got in the top three for one of my trials and tied (but not recorded) first and third in the other two. I am teh bestaz0r.
K.K. Slider night tonight, so I popped over to the Cafe for a listen. He played “Agent K.K.” for me, and it was so obviously trying to be a Bond theme I’m surprised Nintendo haven’t been strung up for it. Mind you, “Rockin’ K.K.” (my wife’s tune this evening) is blatently Jonny B Goode. Oh well. As well as the “gig”, I also sold all my turnips last minute for just 114 each. Not much of a profit, but at …
I regained my braneliness today, by managing to get another Brain Age of 20. I expect the 22 yesterday was just a “blip”. That makes 13 20s overall, and I’ve played every day for about 40 days now. Once I’ve hit two full months (filling the graphs, basically), and finished all the sudoku (of which I’m only 21% through), I will declare the game “complete”.
With all the worlds technically “complete”, I’m left with two tasks: get all the big coins (there are three hidden on each level), and spend them all (on opening gates, mainly). Went through World 1 and World 2, and now have all of the coins there. I also have all bar those in the Tower and Castle in World 3 as well. Some of them have been pretty difficult to get too – this is obviously where the real challenge …
