Back So Soon?

Today, a message was posted on the bulletin board reminding everyone that the first fireworks festival is coming up on Sunday. That should be fun.

~Fireworks Show~ The show starts at 7 p.m. this coming Sunday! Come welcome the start of summer with your pals!I took the bus to the city to check for this week’s new emotions, but there were none that I wanted.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?I came back to Forest, and at one point I dropped my Wii remote, which killed a black rose in the process. Ouch. But my luck would soon change…

After shooting down the UFO last Wednesday, I certainly wasn’t expecting another UFO this soon. But that’s exactly what I got. It flew by at 6:07 and I shot it with my slingshot. This is #20.

Shooting a UFO with my slingshot.The spaceship part was much easier to find this time, so I snatched it up.

The spaceship part from the UFO on the ground.I wonder what item Gulliver will give me this time. Find out tomorrow.

Music Glitching and Merging

Tonight was my Wi-Fi night, so I opened my gate shortly after 10:00. Megan and Yann came over to visit. After watering my flowers, I showed them my new Metroid.

Jeff: My meggtroid. Yann: Congrats.Now that I have the sighing emotion (disappointment), Megan and I were using our sighs to try to breathe life into the creepy skeleton.

Jeff and Meg trying to breathe life into the creepy skeleton.Megan and Yann kept blowing out my candle and turning off the Metroid’s music, so to punish them, I sent them to their rooms graves.

Jeff and Yann use nets to try to catch Megan's bubbles.Megan was feeling tired and said she was about to go. But first, I offered to give her the music glitch. She agreed, and she chose Marine Song 2001. Before she long, she was getting tired of it.

Megan: This song...But then Megan decided to be mischievous evil. She went and plugged in her Wii Speak…not to talk to us, but to play the song she was stuck with. She wanted to torture us as well!

Megan: U can suffer toooo!We went to Del’s house for a while, and then bounced around from place to place.

Bouncing around outside of Del's house.At some point, I gave Yann the music glitch as well. She wanted K.K. Parade, which is circus music. Later on, we went into Scott’s house and did some merging.

Megan and Yann merged into a hideous creature.Megan was doing some musical keyboard spamming in time to the music and we all joined in.

All of us: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI eventually ended the party and saved my game for the night.

Metroid!

Tonight, Rowan asked me to find a fruit beetle for him. That’s one of the easiest tasks ever.

Rowan: I am ALL about those crazy things. I'm serious! They're crawling in my dreams.So I walked a few feet and caught one. I gave it to Rowan and he thanked me by giving me a tea-room wall.

Rowan: Yesss! A fruit beetle! HIGH FIVE, bud! You hooked me up big-time.After I was done watering my flowers, I made my way to the beach for the night’s main event: Gulliver.

Gulliver: Oh, wait, that one I know. I'm Gulliver, captain of the Crusty Barnacle... Um. Crusty SPACE Barnacle.It wasn’t an easy journey, but my long wait is over. He gave me the Metroid! Score!

My new Metroid on display in my house.Even though it looks cool, the best part is the short bit of Metroid music it plays. It made me think of how Metroid (the game series) has such great, atmospheric, even haunting music. More than any other Nintendo franchise (yes, even Zelda), I feel that the unique music in Metroid is an integral part of the game. Metroid with a different soundtrack may have still been a good game, but I don’t feel it would have become the classic that it is.

Sorry for going off on a tangent there. But tomorrow night is Friday Night Forest, so check back late tomorrow night for another entry.
