Disaster! Almost all of the trees I planted yesterday are now dead! I had a little cry, and then went and checked turnip prices. 110 today, which is rubbish. Bah. Altogether, not a particularly successful day in Cheese.
Turnips were low priced again today, so didn’t sell them. Found a letter from Parm with a bed in it, and he asked me to sleep in his bed. Nice. Spent quite a while picking and selling fruit that had grown since yesterday, and also chopped some trees down and planted more to make an orchard. Should have a forest of pear trees and another of peach trees in a few days! Nook had a Blue Bookcase in today, so …
I think mindless addiction has now set in with Animal Crossing. Oh dear. As well as the usual selling fruit, looking for Blue and Exotic furniture, and digging up fossils, I went over and visited Deckard. He gave me some snowman furniture, including a clock to go in my clock collection (I have six now). Came back to Cheese and then opened up my gates. Went “AFD” (Away From DS) for a couple of hours, and came back to find …
Killed the two thingies that beat me earlier, and picked up some special magic grenades. Used one to get past an acid pool, found the Star Map and a lightsaber, and came out again to find Uthar (who wanted me to kill Yuthura) and Yuthura (who wanted me to kill Uthar). I said I’d kill neither, so they both attacked me and I killed them both. Then it was back to the academy, where EVERYONE tried to kill me, and …
Forced (hah!) myself back onto this today. I haven’t played in a few days and if I leave it to “sit” for too long I know I’ll just forget about it and it’ll be impossible to get back in. So, I’m on Korriban, and I entered the Sith Academy there. Uthar (the leader of the academy) says I have to prove myself to him, by doing tasks and finding artifacts and stuff. One of the other masters has asked if …
As always, Sunday is Turnip Day. Spent a while picking and selling fruit, before finding Joan. Turnips cost 105 bells each this week, which was a bit steep, but there hasn’t been a really good selling day in a while so one this week is likely. Probably. Bought 1,000 turnips anyway. I hope I can make a profit this time! Also found a few fossils to donate to the museum, and went and had a chat to a few animals. …
Popped in to Cheese to see K.K. Slider and listen to his latest “bangin’ choon”, Café K.K. at the, er, Café. Also got a letter from Deckard, who had obviously visited while I was out earlier, and he’d sent me a skull for one of my skeletons in the museum, which completed that particular dinosaur. Nice. I dug up a few things too, including a fossil I already had, and smacked rocks up for bells. My Bell Tree is growing …
Ran though quite a few more levels, goals and competitons this afternoon. Battery Park came and went, as did the Bronx, Santa Monica and Hollywood. I also opened up the hangar level from THPS2, which only had three goals on it and was pretty small anyway. Things I found difficult included Ollie the Magic Bum’s “Collect 10 Cans” goal in Hollywood, mainly as I was blind and couldn’t see one of them, the huuuuuuggggggge gap (also in Hollywood) as it …
Plowed through this a bit more. Completed the “card and board games” level, and another that I forget, and killed the Queen of Hearts boss too. Now I’m on the Bathtub level, but only have one life left, so if I die it’s game over and I have to start the whole level again. Annoying, due to the number of spikes on this level. Tch.
111 bells today. Which was a pain. I opened up my gates to let people come in to sell “last minute”, but after a while got word that Luffer had them for 140 bells. Went over to his town to sell all mine there. Not a huge profit, but better than a loss by far.
123 bells. Now, I may be stupid in doing so, but I didn’t sell any turnips at that price. I’m confident that tomorrow will bring a 200+ bell price. I hope. Cut down a load of non-fruiting trees and made a start on an orchard. Planted a load of pears and some peaches. Also bought another clock from Nook, and buried some money in the hope of a money tree. Popped over to see JonnyBoy as he was online, but …
My hatred of Nook grows ever stronger, as he tried to buy turnips for just 44 bells today. I’m convinced they’re hollow and stuffed with cocaine or something, you know.
Completed the Mall level, and unlocked the Warehouse (yes – the SAME Warehouse again), completed all of that, won two Competition Vouchers, which let me enter a competition in Noo Joyzee, so I did. And came first, with 198 points (the maximum you can get). Nice. That opened up Battery Park, which I haven’t done much in yet. Also added a few more stats to my list. I think I only have one notch left on Rail now, with everything …
Spent a while racking my stats up even higher. Everything is now full bar one ‘notch’ each on Rail and Flip. Finished a few tasks, including collecting SKATE and COMBO, collecting some doll parts, playing HORSE, and impressing Bucky Lasek with a sick combo. Or something. I’m able to leave Noo Joyzee now, and it’s off to The Mall. Hurrah!
Today’s turnip price was 111 bells. I think, overall, the price has been higher this week (on average) than other weeks. Still rubbish though. Bought a couple of things from Nook, and took a bug and a fossil to the Museum. Went and had a chat with a few animals too. Agent S called me “the bestest person ever!”. Of course. Tried to go out and visit other people, but no-one was online.
