Just a quick extra go this evening, in order to go and visit K.K. Slider and listen to him “do his thang”. Or something. His track today was K.K. Metal, which wasn’t fantastic, but a million times better than K.K. Dirge, at lest.
Completed several more levels today. They’re actually getting a bit easier now, as I keep bumping Ami and Yumi’s stats up a bit in the sushi game you play after finishing a stage. Levels played today included a wild west themed one, and a medieval one.
OK, so technically it isn’t a Mac game. It’s actually the DOS “talkie” version, being played on my MacBook under ScummVM. But anyway. So I explored a few places, found a ladder, tried to nick a broom from a witch, spoke to some woodworm and then reached a troll on a bridge. It has, of course, been hilarious so far.
Having exhausted all of the recipes available to me, I set about finding others. You see, sometimes when cooking you get to open up other recipes along the way, like turning beef curry into beef stew instead. Found a few more, and now have about 55 or so available.
Oh noes! I didn’t play yesterday, so missed out on possible turnip sellage! I could have set the clock back, but I forgot to do so. Luckily, then, Nook was giving a decent price this morning – 192 bells. That’s enough to double my money this week, so I put half in the post office and left the rest in my pockets for buying more turnips tomorrow. As for other things going on in Cheese, Chief has moved out (already), …
After a few more (accidental, in one case) hostage “missions”, I set about doing the next two Westside Rollerz missions. The first was a race, of sorts. I didn’t have to win, however – I just needed to get close to the Rollerz and taunt them enough to make them use a nitro boost. Which was rigged to make them explode, of course. Obviously. Then I had to attack some garage owned by Donnie, and Lin (a Saint, but undercover) …
More cooking today. Recipes this evening (cooked whilst watching Celebrity Masterchef, bizarrely enough) included curried pork and rice, chilli prawns, hand-rolled sushi, and some strange macaroni dish. ACES!
Chief is trying to move out already! Gah! He didn’t stay long. I tried to convince him to stay, but he didn’t seem to be having any of it. Never mind. Spent a while talking to all the other animals, and I now have two of them asking for chic furniture (which I don’t have any of). No deliveries or clothing requests though. Today’s rubbish turnip price was 62 bells. Perhaps buying them again after all this time wasn’t the …
Not much going on today, in comparison to yesterday anyway. I have another new resident – Buck (who seems to be a horse), and Nook was buying turnips for just 66 bells. Also delivered a parcel for Sally and gave more medicine to Bluebear (who is still ill), but no-one asked me for furniture or clothes or anything like that.
I completed a few more dishes today, ranging from some quite complex stews to eggs sunny side up, and instant ramen. I really like this game, as although it doesn’t show you exactly how to create the food you cook, it does tell you pretty much the steps you need to take. I’ve unlocked a load more recipies too, so I have about 35 open in all now. Even managed two gold medals today!
Didn’t play any more actual proper missions, as I needed to build up my respect bar before they were unlocked, so set about exploring instead. Found three CDs (I now have 10, so it unlocked a music track), and some tag points. Also found one of the cars I needed for a Chop Shop mission, and I spent a while doing hostage runs too. I got another achievement today as well – 20 hours played. What was interesting is I …
Yes indeed. A cooking game for the DS. You’d not get one of them anywhere else. After a slow start (it’s actually quite hard to begin with), I’d soon managed boiled rice, stir fry, steak, and all sorts of stuff. It’s ace!
Frobert is gone! He’s moved out and left me. I don’t actually care though. Everyone was after all sorts of stuff again – Bluebear wanted medicine, Chief, Rodeo and Kabuki wanted clothes, Mallary wanted chic furniture, and then Sally and Purrl wanted me to deliver things. Quite a busy day, really. And Nook was offering 72 bells. So I shot him the face with a crossbow.
Completed another level of this, seemingly set on Easter Island. Had to fight strange masked natives and giant stone Kaz heads. I thought Kaz was supposed to be on my side? Clearly not, since Kaz was also the end of level boss, sitting on a throne-on-a-pole, throwing lightning bolts at me. As you do.
And so begins a week back on the stalk market. I haven’t missed much – Nook offered me a paltry 75 bells for my turnips, so I murdered his nephews and put their severed heads in his bed. Mhuhahahahahahaha! Actually, Nook went on about not being able to tell Timmy and Tommy apart, and ranted about one of them asking twice for his salary. Tch. Frobert is still trying to move out. I made a vague attempt to get him …
