On Wednesday, a fortune cookie gave me a New Nintendo 3DS. The one I got from Isabelle’s RV has her face on the outside of it; this one is just a plain, regular one.
Up on Main Street, I spotted Tom! I wasn’t expecting to see him yet until I had another villager move out. So either I was mistaken and lost track of someone at some point, or the update changed how many villagers appear on Main Street.
I shot down a balloon present yesterday, and it contained a gold screen wall. If you’re not already aware, the update changed balloon presents so they can carry random items too (and not just balloon furniture like before). That’s a welcome change.
Shortly after 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Merka and Mike came over, and we took some pictures by my FNF sign.
We made some references to carp blood throughout the night, and it’s because of a joke Merka and I made five years ago tonight, in City Folk. She was known as Skye back then, and we made fun of the “Do You Like Waffles?” song by replacing it with carp blood. Why carp blood, I’m not exactly sure. But it must have made sense at the time. 😀
Even if Nintendo took away our net glitch, we can still stump merge. It’s mergilicious.
Beth also came over to visit, so I had a full house. We went over to the drive-in campground and hung out there for a while. I noticed that when you toss beans at the campground, they don’t fling out as high.
I later tested it out back in town, and they shoot out high and far in town. Just not at the campground.
We tested something else out tonight, too. We wanted to see if people outside can hear if someone honks the horn of the RV. To my surprise, the answer is yes! In fact, we get shocked expressions outdoors too.
While we were at it, we also tested to see if the horns of different RVs sounded different. Booker and Isabelle were both at the campground, but sadly, the horns sounded the same. That would have been a nice touch if they each had a unique sound. Like maybe Booker could have a deeper honk, and Isabelle’s could be more cheery. No big deal though, of course. I realize Nintendo can’t put an infinite amount of details into a free update. 😉
Mike and Merka sat on a log (bench), facing each other. Then, they started attacking each other. It was a good, old-fashioned bean fight!
I really enjoy the campground during online play. It’s such a great place to relax and chat.
We talked about how good it would be to have a new Animal Crossing game on Switch, where we could use USB keyboards to communicate again. That would be infinitely better than the on-screen keyboard in New Leaf. I wouldn’t even mind if it was basically a port of New Leaf / Welcome Amiibo with some new features added. That would be better than waiting another five years for a new game.
Once we were done twerking at the campground, we went into town hall to see the ghost Wisp working behind the counter. Mike also showed off his haircut. I’m not sure which was scarier. 😉
We went outside to the geyser and celebrated at 11:11 on 11/11.
We continued to discuss Animal Crossing, particularly the recent update. They patched the net glitch, yet there was one thing they didn’t fix: The extremely short span of time that a message is on-screen! It’s still only five seconds, which is far too short. That’s not even enough time to walk through a doorway.
We later went up near the railroad tracks, where Mike fell into the pitfall behind the face-cutout standee. As always, I didn’t get to see my victim’s fall. But I stuck my face into the gravestone as people threw beans at me.
And we starting making band names for some reason? Or maybe it was just me.
Mike wanted to catch up with his former villager Julian, so we all started a search a party for him. Eventually, we found him hanging out in the art gallery with all the naked statues. And I noticed he wasn’t wearing any pants.
This valiant statue looked like a slingshot. Or then again, maybe the wings look like my arms.
If you ever need to check if a painting is real or fake, remember I have a Crazy Redd Art Guide right here on JVGS!
Anyway, we then went to my house and made whooping sounds in froggie chairs.
Merka went away for a bit at one point, while Mike imagined a GameCube version of New Leaf. We started using love emotions, and the sound of it was quite funny. I just imagined what Merka’s reaction would be like when she returned to the sound of this lovely alarm.
After that, we started quoting Arrested Development. But after chatting for a while, we got disconnected. It was well after midnight already, so I didn’t reopen my gate. But I had a good time tonight. Thanks to Merka, Mike, and Beth for coming!
My recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Fujioka, Emily from Honolulu, Gamer from Wii, and Sarusa from Anitown. Have a good weekend, everyone!
