My Animal Crossing Chronicles – 12/08
So, I bought Animal Crossing: City Folk, complete with Wii Speak (even though I have no Wii Friends who own Animal Crossing), and I must say, I like this game. I enjoy “The Sims”-like aspect of it coupled with the hilarious sound effects when the animals are talking; I’m sure some people hate that, but I like it because it reminds me of Banjo-Kazooie (N64). The only thing really wrong with this game is that there is no conflict – there’s no princess-kidnapping Koopa, there’s no tyrannical sorcerer wishing to enslave Hyrule, and there’s not even a giant ape in my greenhouse. I’m hoping that one of the Animals in my town at some point goes crazy and starts kidnapping the other citizens and I have to go on a crazy adventure to save them.
This is me standing in my home. My town’s name is “Coolton,” after “Coolsville” didn’t fit. I’m currently working on paying off the 120,000 Bell loan that I got from Tom Nook to get construction on my house.
Yes, it’s New Year’s Eve Day in Coolton, just like everywhere else. I can’t decide if I’ll go to sleep at about 8:00 tonight (in real life) or if I’ll stay up and ring in the New Year in Coolton. (I’ll probably be asleep by 8:30… New Year’s is probably the most boring holiday; I’ve never understood why people stay up late to see a New Year… it’ll probably be a New Year the next morning too, so what’s the point of staying up late.)
A Note on these pictures: I love the camera mode in Animal Crossing: City Folk. You can press “1″ at any time, even when people are talking and get a great picture. It’s much better than the Super Smash Bros. Brawl camera mode where you have to pause the game to take a snapshot. I use an SD Converter Jump Drive that plugs into my USB port. In Brawl, you have to download an unofficial program to convert the snapshots to a readable file before you can do anything with them, but in Animal Crossing the pictures can be read by Picasa, and you can put them on the computer in a few seconds.
