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 …
Teh Carnales haev teh ded aussi! I finished off all of the Los Carnales missions, which (in general) where one hell of a lot easier than the Vice Kings ones. Perhaps it is suggested somewhere that you start with those? I don’t know. Anyway. I had to retry a couple of a strongholds a few times, but two of them were stupidly easy – the tagging one, and the pushing drugs into the water one. Of course, being able to …
Unbelievably, and for the first time in ages, I actually remembered to buy turnips on a Sunday morning. Amazing. I spent about 500,000 bells on them (as I didn’t want to dip into my 20 million stash, and dumped them outside my house and Nook’s. Almost everyone was asleep today, so I could only talk to Rodeo, Kabuki and Frobert. Frobert is trying to move out. Again. I suggested to him to stay, but I don’t really care if he …
Just a (relatively) short go, starting the Los Carnales missions after a few more attempts at mayhem missions. Only got as far as completing the first couple of missions, though.
K.K. Slider played me another “bangin’ choon” tonight. Well, it was almost a tune, anyway – K.K. Dirge. It was rubbish. I gave him 1/5. I had a new animal move in today – Chief the wolf. I’m pretty sure I’ve already had him in my town, but he didn’t seem to know who I was and was quite irate when I talked to him. He was busy unpacking or something. Not a lot else was going on, although it …
Teh Vice Kings haev teh ded! Huzzah! I completed the last VK mission, and they’re all gone from the map. WINNAR. After that, I spent a while collecting some more cars, then bought loads of bling (which got me an achievement, and also gives me 15% bonus on respect on each mission I complete), then went and did some hijack missions. After that, I did a few more Insurance Fraud missions (and got myself a bonus of less damage taken …
Just played on the first of the scenarios this evening. I won pretty easily too, as most of the other players (as well as having less cash than me) had a tendancy to go All In when I had a Two Pair or something. I wiped four of them out in one hand! I’ve also noticed that my stats have been reset. I did have something like 700 hands played, and now I’m down to just 250-odd.
Spent about 20 minutes car collecting when I first started playing today. I now have about 60 cars in my garage (including a SWAT van, a load of Five-Os and a couple of ambulances), which gained me the “50 cars owned” achievement. I then went and bought all the clothes I could find (which wasn’t really very much), and then went back to doing Mayhem missions. Which were fun, as always. After that, I decided to play online for a …
Bah. Trousers has beaten my score of 15,000-ish, with a score of about 25,000. I hate him. I hate him even more because I only managed to claw back as far as 20,800. I can get up to stage 4 without dying now, but usually lose at least a couple of lives there. Stage 5 is horrible, as you have to steer your ship through twisty, narrow passageways shooting fuel tanks. And I’m sure your ship can’t move fast enough …
Hurrah! Purrl is better! Even though I’d bought medicine for her today anyway. And she was well, so didn’t need it. Ungrateful cow. Everyone was after furniture. I gave Mallary some cabin furniture, but didn’t have what Bluebear or Sally were after. Sally has started saying “quackpth” now, for some reason. It’s what Mallary normally says. It just seems wrong coming from a squirrel.
Purrl is still ill. What’s that now, 10 days? Shouldn’t she be dead by now? My other animals mostly seemed to want me to deliver letters to each other this evening. Don’t they have a postman any more in Cheese? And WEEDS! GAH! Am I the only one in the town who knows how to pull them up or something?
To start with, I thought there was a VK mission available, but it turned out to be a Los Carnales mission instead. I started it accidently, then saved, quit, and reloaded the game. And lo, the Vice Kings mission marker appeared. Bizarre! I had a go, but it’s too hard. You have to drive along with a guy hanging out of the window to scare him, but you soon get three stars and the SWAT after you, and your car …
400 points on this were spent today. It’s another old shooter, which I first came across as a clone called Ground Attack on the Spectrum. I later bought one of them Grandstand tabletop games of it too. It was aces. Anyway. I don’t recall it being quite so varied. Especially stage 3, where there are loads of fireballs and stuff. My memory is not what it once was, clearly. So I got a high score of about 15,000, which puts …
