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!
Seven months I’ve been playing this game. Many times I’ve thought, “Why?” and yet have still kept on playing. I’m in a bit of a dip with it again at the moment, as there’s not much going on and my animals don’t seem keen to give me their pictures. Oh well – I’ll plod on regardless. Turnips were 74 bells, there wasn’t much to buy that I didn’t already have, and nothing much happened.
No, no training today. I don’t do that any more. My brain is too huge as it is. So I spent some time doing sudoku puzzles instead, taking my completion up to 34% done. I mainly did Beginner puzzles, but also did a couple of the Intermediate ones.
Oblivion Gate closing spree! First off, I had to help Captain Burd close the gate outside of Bruma. This was a pretty short task, although Burd’s guards all died within seconds for being rubbish. With my wealth of enchanted items (I have a permanent 43% shield effect now, plus 10% for fire, front and shock, 50% for magic, and 20% reflect damage, on top of my sword of shock and assorted enchanted arrows) I barely suffered a scratch. With the …
Turnip day! I had about 400,000 bells in my pockets, and spent the lot on white turnips costing 101 bells each. I’ve covered the “hard” ground outside my house with them all. Had a new resident today – a bull called Rodeo. He said he wanted to be naked, and then he’d love to walk round town with me. I backed away then. Didn’t do a lot else in Cheese, except find and sell some fossils, and order a shirt …
Two main events in Cheese today. Firstly, I went to see K.K. Slider play at the museum. He performed K.K. Mambo for me. I then realised it was also La-di-day, so went and talked to all my animals who sang assorted songs. I picked Margie’s in the end, to be the new town tune, as it was the first couple of bars from Super Mario Bros, and was therefore ACEBESTNESS. Although I had no turnips to sell, I checked in …
