Turnips bellage report for today: 80 bells. I was certainly right to sell in the week. Hurrah for me! As usual, I went and harvested and sold most of my fruit. There wasn’t a lot on the trees today, but I made about 30,000 bells anyway, and then about 20,000 more from gyroids and fossils. One of the fossils I found wasn’t actually in the museum, so that was good. I also planted some more apple, pear and coconut trees. …
Yes, I’m playing FIFA again. I think I may be ill, or something. I don’t generally like football games at the best of times (except for PES4 recently, and Sensible Soccer forever), not least FIFA titles as they’re all crap, but for some reason I’m enjoying this. Maybe it’s because it’s a handheld game. I don’t know. PES6 for the DS would be nice though. Anyway. I’ve started Career Mode, which if I finish it, I will class the game …
This game was a freebie from some new mobile gaming website, or something. It’s crap, in almost every single way, but not least that it takes SIX HOURS to load on my N-Gage. No, that is not an exaggeration for comedic effect – it really does take that long. And, seeing as the battery on the N-Gage lasts about that long when not in standby mode, you can see that I won’t be playing it all that often. Anyway. I …
Turnips (for recording purposes) were just 80 bells today, so I’m glad I sold them on Wednesday. Of course, they could be 984635296349 bells tomorrow, but I think not. Sold 100,000 bells’ worth of fruit, and dug up a couple of gyroids. I was expecting more gyroids, actually, as it has rained non-stop for four days and they tend to appear after rain. Went and chatted with some animals, and upset Friga a bit as she’s walked me into a …
I got an “ASCII Trance Vibrator Pack” in the post today, for use with this game, so thought I’d best try it out. And it really rumbles, and rumbles hard. If you hold it, it can actually get quite painful. Not that you can hold it, since you’re holding the joypad. So I rested it next to my knee. In fact, just resting it on the other end of the sofa is enough, as it vibrates the whole thing. As …
Oh my. I’ve bought a FIFA game. Worse, I’ve bought one and played it. Worse still, I played it for an hour and enjoyed it. Wrongness! So I set myself up as the Mighty Norwich City, and played a quick friendly against Leicester. After realising that pass and shoot were actually the other way round to what I expected, I soon won 6-1. Not bad for my first ever go. I then decided to take Norwich into the “England Cup”, …
With turnips already sold this week (quite rare for me not to leave them until the last possible moment on a Satuday), I felt a little lost when playing today. Nook was offering 81 bells for them today, although I didn’t really want to check in case he was going to say “ONE MEEEEEELION BELLS! MUHUHUHUHUHUHAHAHA”, but luckily he didn’t. Did sell all my fish I’d caught yesterday (and obviously forgot to sell), and then harvested all of my fruit, …
Finished another world today, without any difficulty at all. Not sure how I managed that, as it was one I was previously stuck on. Even had about ten lives left at the end of it. Didn’t do so well on the end game thing though – only 193 bananas. Played Monkey Bowling Challenge Super Happy Fun Mode for a bit then, and completed the first level. Tried the second level, but ran out of “throws”, so failed.
Hurrah! Nook actually gave me a good price today – 215 bells per turnip! That’s the highest it’s been in my town so far, I think. As a result, I sold all my turnips, and made a 100% profit. Went and visited Lyzzy in Scotton then, and bought a Modern Sofa from her shop and wrote on her noticeboard. She came back to my place (oo-er) to sell her turnips (although she forgot to bring them and had to go …
Gah. MUCH. TOO. HARD. I must have tried ten times, and the furthest I got was a feeble 672m. I don’t seem to be able to get past about 300m without losing at least one life any more. Clearly, this is rubbish.
Played quite a bit this evening. Firstly, I sold all the fruit from my trees, and all the fossils I found. That made me about 80,000 bells. After that, I bought everything from Crazy Redd, including a (genuine!) Scary Painting, which I put in my museum. Nook was buying turnips for 150 bells today, but (foolishly, I’ll bet) I turned down his offer. Went fishing then, and caught loads of octopii, only to find they’re worth just 500 bells each …
Turnips were only 81 bells today, but I’m not that bothered this week. I have HOUSE MAXIMUM now anyway, so there’s no real incentive to work off the huge 950,000-ish bell mortgage. Did go and harvest and sell a load of fruit for about 60,000 bells though, and also bought a cardboard box off of Caroline the Squirrel but I’m not really sure why.
I don’t seem to have played this for quite a while. A million and one other games must have arrived and I forgot about it, or something. Restarted Chapter 18 for two reasons – firstly, and most importantly, I died instantly on the “resume game” save, and secondly, I thought I’d need my idiot Pegasus Knight to recruit the other one that was flying round the map. I was correct, and I went on to finish the mission “properly” without …
Progressed quite a bit further today, getting past the spikes that had “killed” me previously, going back into the present, running from the Dahaka (I hate those bits) and returning to the past again. There, I started doing some of the clock tower thingy, and then had another big golem to kill. I found that you can dodge him grabbing you when you’re on his back my pressing A or X and left or right, which made killing him a …
