Aside for selling a bit of fruit today, and collecting my letters (one of which was a present from the Town Hall telling me I have over 10,000,000 bells in my account), I spent a while clearing out my house. I was completely out of space to put anything, so packed my Snowman stuff away, sold a load of clocks and non-matching items, and went and ordered all the fruit furniture from Nook. While I was in Nook’s I cleaned …
No problems with the tests again today, and even beat another score. Didn’t bother with all of them, but only missed out two (Calculations x100 and Syllable Count). Today’s Age, however, was a slightly disappointing 23. I mis-counted one of the questions on Number Cruncher, I think.
Didn’t really have a lot of time today, so I didn’t bother doing all of the tests. Managed the Calculations x20, Triangle Math(s) (on which I beat the top score), Reading Aloud, Head Count, and a couple of others. Then I did the Brain Age test, and managed to get another Age of 20! BEST.
Achievement Unlocked! 70 Gamerpoints Get! Ace! I “finished” the first mountain (although, I expect I’ll be back) by chasing some people on boards, then on a snowmobile. Now I’ve been kicked out of my “crew” because the crew leader bloke (J-Dog) is in cahoots with the bad guys. I found out, so I’m out. On “Snowbird” Mountain, I met some strange pig-head bloke, who wanted me to do stunts for his advertising agency. Cue plenty more totally bizarre cut scenes, …
293 bells for turnips! ACES. Sold all mine, making more than 3,000,000 bells in total. With my new-found wealth I finally paid off the last mortgage on my house. I hadn’t bothered paying the almost-1-million previously, as I didn’t see the point. Besides, I wanted to reach 10,000,000 bells in the post office, which I managed today. Also sold some fruit, but not enough to clear my trees even slightly. I had some visitors today too, including my wife and …
Just one puzzle today, taking my Super Hard remaining levels to just 12. This one (a mini tulip or possibly some corn) was pretty easy, although it took a while to complete.
Oh my. This game is messed up. I don’t know what the designers were on, but the result is one of the most bizarre things ever. It’s like a cross between SSX, The Magic Roundabout, Homestar Runner, Seanbaby and Dude, Where’s My Car? No, really. I mean, one of today’s tasks was to get a high score on a stretch of mountain. Fair enough, yes? Except that it was presented by what appeared to be a character from an obscure …
Another quick day’s play today. I am beginning to tire of the game now, but it has served me well for over five months, with me playing almost every single day. It’s just between daily Crossing and daily Brain Age, I’m missing out on the twenty billion other games I have. Perhaps I’ll make it six months and then call it a day. Anyway. Turnips were 74 bells today. I did, however, manage to bump into Wendell (finally!) and so …
Although I managed to completely mess up Time Lapse today (getting a time of almost three minutes), mainly due to mixing up the big and little hands in some kind of primary schoolchild way, I did pretty well overall. My best score was on Syllable Count, where I managed to finih it in 36 seconds. It was the only scoreboard I wasn’t at the top of, with the previous best being 42 seconds or so. ACES. To top it all …
Yes. I know I didn’t like the demo, OK? But I bought it anyway, OK? It was only £18 at Play so it was rude not to. Or something. Besides, my Oblivion disc was lonely. Imagine my surprise then, when I really enjoyed playing it. Did a few “missions”, including carving to impress someone, and then “doing” Weinerland, which was hilarious. I think I just need to come to terms with this not being a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game, …
On today’s list: water red turnip (check), find out white turnip prices (check – 80 bells each), visit all my animals in the hope there might be some belated birthday gifts (check – there wasn’t), dig up gyroids as it rained yesterday (check – found three), buy everything in Nook’s (nope – couldn’t be bothered), harvest all ten million fruit in the town (nope – I sold about 25,000 bells worth, but couldn’t bring myself to do the rest). I’m …
Another day, another brain workout. It was having problems recognising the number 8 in many of the tests during today’s session, which made my times in Calculations x20 a bit rubbish, and as a result my overall Brain Age was 24. OK, so better than yesterday, but I want more 20s! Pah.
Three more Super Hard puzzles completed today, meaning I have just 13 left to do now. There’s still a good chance I might have it completed by the end of the well. Well, a slim chance. Maybe.
With all of the Hard puzzles complete, I had only Super Hard to work through. I managed three of them in double-quick time, mainly as they were all so easy. In fact, one of them (which turned out to be some kind of magic staff) had 6 of the 16 squares completely empty, and 8 of the other 10 could be filled in instantly with no deduction required. That leaves me with just 16 Super Hard puzzles to do, meaning …
Didn’t play all of the training thingies today, as I didn’t have a huge amount of time, was a bit tired, and since they’re all unlocked now it can take a fair while to get through them all. My age for the day, however, was 25. Bah.
