Hurrah for Tony Hawk! I started out this year with a flurry of Hawk activity, completing Tony Hawk games at an alarming rate. Then I ran out. But look! There’s a new one! Sort of! Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam isn’t a proper, “traditional”, Tony Hawk game. I was a bit worried about it, in fact, as it seemed to be an entire game based around the concept of the single “Downhill Jam” level from some of the other games. My …
K.K. Slider night, and he played K.K. Fusion. I really should count up how many tracks I have now, so I know how far off the the 52 total I am. I’m expecting to be up around 45-ish, I think. Overall, this evening was pretty musical in Cheese, as it was also La-Di-Day. Many of my animals wanted to sing me new town tunes, but most of them were crap. I chose Sally’s as the new one, mainly because I …
It’s Ouendan! Only new! And in English! In fact, it’s actually more like a sequel, as it improves on the original in some areas (you can skip cutscenes for a start), and has a different plot and entirely new scenarios. As you can see from the title of this post, I’ve completed it already, even though it only arrived this morning. However, I have only done it on the easiest setting, and only had to retry one level once (the …
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 …
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.
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. …
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.
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.
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.
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.
