Improved on my high score even further today, which is just as well as a couple of people on my friends list were inching closer. I’m now at just over 13,000, which should hold off my nearest competitor (SomethingWitty) at 10,000-ish for a while. Had a few more goes online in Coop mode, and the lag was awful again so gave up. Did manage to unlock the Chicken 2 achievement, though, as well as another one for completing Level 4.
Didn’t have a lot to do in Cheese today, aside from a bit of weeding and some animal visiting. Checked turnip prices just to be completist, and Nook was offering 111 bells. Glad I sold up yesterday, then! Also dug up a few gyroids and fossils, and sold them. Every bell helps for the turnip purchasing tomorrow…
I jumped between them quite a bit, so I’m lumping them all together here. I played Frogger a bit more, and got another achievement, but didn’t improve my score. I played Uno a lot and got a few achievements there (and actually won an online game), and also played Mutant Storm Reloaded and improved my score, but didn’t get any more achievements.
I managed to get a few more achievements on this today, played online in two-player for a bit (although online mode is horrendously laggy and effectively broken as a result), and rose to the top of my friend’s list leaderboard with just over 10,000 points. I am clearly BESTEST.
Hurrah! Turnips were being bought for 348 bells today in Cheese, which is great price. Made about a million bells profit as a result. My wife came over to sell too (she’d not sold them all yesterday), as did a couple of WFC visitors. Aside from all the selling, I visited my animals, and also caught a couple of fish. Looks like rainy season has finally stopped, as the sun was out today, and there were gyroids a-plenty!
And I also bought this with some of my excess points. It’s abit like Geometry Wars, only more level-based. It is also about 986675325 times easier. I got up to Level 28, without dying, and unlocking two achievements in the process, and then gave up as it was bed time.
Since I’d splashed out on Frogger, and I’d bought 2000 Points with which to buy it, I had some left over and as a result Uno was purchased. I played just the one full game, online, against some random people. I won the first two hands, then narrowly missed the third, and then was way off on the fourth by which time someone else had won overall. Boo.
Yes. I bought it. I don’t really know why, but I did. And it’s ACE. I know it’s only Frogger and everything, but having a leaderboard and achievements (of which I gained three) really makes more of the “get as many points as you can” gameplay.
I was in a Turnip Quandry today, with Nook buying for 198 bells. I’m sure I can do better, but 198 is still a reasonable price. So what to do? Well, the same as I do every week, Pinky – try to take over the… uh, I mean, risk it, not sell them, and then hope someone online gets a better price tomorrow. I don’t learn, do I? Anyway. It was still raining, but I did manage to find a …
Hmm. I really didn’t think I was going to like this. It was just going to be “another FPS”, and I’ve had enough of them. I knew there were “gimmicks”, like the walking on walls and portals and stuff, but that’s all I thought there was over any other FPS. I was a bit wrong. The story is great, and unexpected, and the graphics are lovely. The wall (and ceiling) walking is cleverly used, and the portals confuse and impress, …
This was new on Xbox Live Arcade today, so I downloaded the demo and had a look. Why is everything so small? You can’t see a thing! I blame my unusual crapness on that. Yes, that’s it.
Still rubbish turnip prices this week. Of course, I rarely get a decent price anyway, and usually have to rely upon someone else getting a high price for me to sell in their town. Nook offered 74 bells today. Slap him. Nan was trying to move out (again!) today, but I seemed to convince her. I wish I could remember which of my animals wanted the assorted shirts I’ve been buying over the last few days, though, as they’re building …
Yet another briefest of brief visits to Cheese, to check up on my animals (none of which wanted anything, aside from a delivery errand for Margie), and to see turnip prices (63 bells). I’m having a bit of a fossil and gyroid drought at the moment, which is especially odd as it has rained almost every single day for over a week now.
ARSE! Which is what the men shout, of course, and not a reference to how well I played today. Mostly re-did some levels on Hard mode, and did reasonably well there. For fun (or not), I tried Ready Steady Go! on Insane again, and just died. A lot. This really is one of the best games I’ve ever played. If you have a DS, and you don’t have this game, you really need to buy this now!
