A quick go on this too, playing just three of the trials, and then doing the Brain Age test. Despite rushing it all, I still managed another Age of 20. ACES.

The briefest of brief plays on this today due to seriously restricted game-time. I played just long enough to check Nook for turnip prices, and found he wanted just 37 each for them. Thieving scum.

Just ‘cos I now have Big Brain Academy, it doesn’t mean I’ve stopped playing this. In fact, I got another 20 on it today. That’s, er, about 9 in a row. Or more. I’ve lost count. Also had to draw more pictures today – a pinwheel (no idea what that is), an electric fan, and a helicopter.

Turnip selling mad-dash tastic! Skipai in Holt (or Otterdom, as the Nintendo WFC insisted on calling it) had his gates open this evening, and his Nook’s was buying for 480 bells. Sadly, he was a bit busy with other visitors, so after queuing to get in, I then failed to get in at all for my second trip. Bah. Luckily, I made enough from one trip to offset any losses from not selling the rest (although I still might do …

Yet another new DS game, look! This one is similar to Brain Age, in that it’s more of a brain-expanding puzzle game than a real actual videogame. It differs in that you don’t really need to play each day, there’s more variety in the type of games to play, and each game has three different difficulty levels to play at. Also, it doesn’t track your progress (although you do get a running total of your scores, of sorts, and a …

Yes, I won again. However, it took me three rounds to take the lead, and I’d have gotten over 9,000 points over all if I hadn’t have been stupid and buzzed too early several times in the final round. That’ll learn me.

With the moon buying and selling, and the clearing out of Nook’s shop, and even the red turnip watering tasks all unnecessary these days, I don’t have much that needs doing any more. I mean, I can still talk to animals and check turnip prices (87 bells today, although 171 in my wife’s town – I resisted, however) and stuff, and I did pick up some furniture I hadn’t seen before from Nook, and gave Margie and Robin some of …

Yet another 20! I am clearly teh win at Brain Age. I didn’t, however, get on the top-3 charts for any of the training games though, which is the first time in a couple of weeks that has (or rather, hasn’t) happened. But I’m still BEST!

Another Long Game, and yes, again I was the winner. I’m sure some of these questions are actually wrong, you know. Tch.

Friga moved out! Rubbish! She’d given no warning at all (usually animals pack their boxes up in their houses a day or two before they leave), just upped and left. The stupid cow. Or rather, penguin. I’d been so nice to her and got no photo from her or anything. Gah. Visited all my other animals, and even though I had some white furniture for Margie and a Camel Shirt for Frobert, neither of them asked for anything. Stupid animals. …

Yet again, I manage to achieve the magical Brain Age of 20. That’s eight days in a row (I think – unless my counting is out, but with an Age of 20, that’s unlikely!), and over a month of less-than-my-real-age scores. Excellent. I got a couple more top-3 scores for things today as well, although I notice my wife then beat at least one of them. Bah.

Just a quick prance around Cheese this evening. My main tasks for the day were to check out the turnip prices (48 bells – rubbish), and to visit Camofrog, as it was his birthday. I took him a present (a Bear Pole), which he was quite pleased with. Margie was there too, so the three of us had a slammin’ party. Well, we stood around and Camofrog cried a lot and Margie clapped a lot. It was all a bit …

It seems that the successor to Brain Age has shipped out to me today, which is good, as I’m reaching the two-month marker in this one. Not that I’m bored of it or anything yet, though. So today I managed another Age of 20. Nothing unexpected there! No problems with recognition either, so my DS was clearly having a Good Day. Maybe it was pleased with my MacBook arriving today, which, when closed, looks like a giant white DS Lite.

Had myself a merry old thieving time today, with some very bizarre events. Opened up the next Thieves’ Guild quest, which was to steal a ring from the Countess of Leyawiin. After chatting with some beggars and her handmaiden, it seemed there was a secret entrance into Her Lady’s private quarters from the basement of Castle Leyawiin. I was also told she goes to bed at 11pm. So I found the secret passage, and came upon the final door before …

After a week or more off it (Oblivion and stuff sucked my time away), I’m back on it, getting coins and unlocking routes. I’m pretty sure i’ve unlocked all the actuall levels now, but not all the warp cannons and houses. Anyway, today I finished off all the coins in World 3, and found the Warp Cannon to World 6 in the World 3 ghost house. Once in World 6 I set about finding some more coins, and managed two …
