Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)

Spent a while picking the rest of the fruit from the trees, and selling them at Nook’s. I have about 200,000 bells left of my mortgage to pay off, and would have done already if I’d got a decent price for my turnips… Speaking of which, there was no Joan this morning, so I couldn’t buy any more anyway. On the up side, I did get a letter from “mom” enclosing 10,000 bells. Did a bit of fishing for bells …

Animal Crossing: Wild World

DAMN YOU, TOM NOOK. Today is the day I must sell my turnips, or they’ll rot overnight and I’ll lose out. And 42 bells is all he’ll offer me! KILL. Not only that, but the Nintendo WFC is down so I can’t even visit someone else and sell my turnips there. DOUBLE KILL. Spent a while selling fruit as my trees were all full, and went and talked to some of the animals and the mayor (who has started the …

Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland: WASTED! AGAIN!

And now Classic Mode is complete as well. Ho hum. That means I’m all out of Tony Hawk games. I had managed to reach The Ruins (the last level on Classic) when playing earlier, but even after getting all of the goals, the game didn’t “complete”. Going back and doing some of the goals on previous levels (mainly Kyoto, in the end) did trigger the end sequence, however. After that, I played a few games of Trick Attack on Xbox …

Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland: WASTED!

Game number 53 completed! Hurrah! Found the last of the pro skaters, and found the entrance to the casino. Once in there, I had to snag a load more pieces for the skate ranch (some of which were pretty hard), and then the police chased me all the way back to the ranch. I expected to have to do some “final task”, like in THUG and THUG2, but no – that was it. Guy gets Dirrrty Mindy, Skate Ranch is …

Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland

Carried on from where I left off yesterday. I spent most of my time wandering around finding new bits for the Skate Ranch, including some velvet ropes, a shark’s head, and a big dome thing. Unlocked some new areas on the way, and had to do some board, bike and graffiti “missions” for the local “cholo” gang, The Black Widows. Had to get myself a tattoo as well, so as to fit in with them. After that, and some skating …

Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland

Getting into this now. I’ve done most of the training bits (which are irritating as I already know how to ollie, kickflip and breathe in and out, thanks – just let me get on with it), but still can’t perform flatland tricks. And I like to pivot, me. Collected a few more items for the Skate Ranch, like a giant pool ball and the tower from the top of a cinema. Nice.

Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land

Score-attack-tastic! Thought it a good idea to firstly, go back and finish the few remaining goals I hadn’t done (there were only about three in total), and after that, I went round all the levels on Classic Mode to try and get scores of over a million on each. And I managed it! I can’t seem to get as many vert tricks in as I could on previous Tony Hawk’s games, and the vert-land-revert-manual combo is still a bit hit …

Super Princess Peach

Worked my way through World 8, which is a bit harder than the others (none of which have been especially difficult so far), only to find myself stuck. I have the Boss Level available, but I can’t select it. It is greyed out, and I can’t get in. I have no idea what to do (it’s all in Japanese) and I’m a bit annoyed. Bah.
