Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

Yesterday, I received Pinky’s goodbye letter in the mail. She didn’t stick around long, but that’s fine by me.

Candi told me that she recently visited Katrina the fortune teller. Everything Katrina said came true, so Candi was convinced Katrina could see through time…in her ears. 😀

At Nookington’s, I bought up all five pieces of candy…and a froggy chair.

I met my newest neighbor, Maddie the dog. She seems nice, and she lives up on the southeast cliff, next to Maple. That’s the spot where Hank originally lived.

Belle tried tricking me into thinking she was Saharah. She wanted to sell me some carpet, but I declined the offer.

I’m not sure what was happening at the wishing well, but Baabara, Kody, and Static were all walking around depressed.

K.K. Slider was hanging out at the train station, so I stopped to check out his show. He performed K.K. Lament for me.

I played again today, and it was raffle day at Nookington’s. Here you can see Nook’s prizes: a NES game, an ivory piano, and a robo-stereo. But I only had one raffle ticket, and you need five of them to enter the drawing, so I was out of luck.

At 6:00, the Halloween festivities started. I was quickly reminded how ruthless villagers can be during Halloween. They ambushed me and took my candy; my first three pieces were gone in practically no time. So I knew I had to move my candy to letters, and just let the other villagers do their worst.

My clothes were ruined, but I eventually found Jack, the czar of Halloween himself.

I gave him a piece of candy, and he gave me a spooky carpet in return. I later found him again, and he gave me the same reward. At that point, I was out of candy and I had other Animal Crossing games to play, so I called it quits for the night on GameCube.

I only had a small taste of Halloween in this game this year, but that small taste was enough. This is the most frustrating version of the Halloween event in the Animal Crossing series, by a wide margin. But whichever games(s) you played, I hope you had a great Halloween! 🎃

Hello again. I missed out on the great fishing at the beginning of the month, but the September entry is here at last. 😛 Bubbles the hippo has popped out of town, and I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

It was raining in town tonight, and Candi was being unusually nice. She gave me a free No. 1 shirt, and she said the smile on my face was worth a million bells. That was almost enough to make me start liking her. Almost. 😛

Puck told me that he was once a skating phenom. I played along and said that I believed him, and he laughed about being able to fool me. He said he’s lucky just to be able to tie his own shoes. 😛

Pinky the panda bear just moved into town today, and this is the first mention of her in this blog. So she hasn’t lived here in the past ten years, although there’s still a decent chance she lived here before that. (I didn’t keep track of all my villagers prior to starting the blog, but I’m sure I’ve had nearly all of the villagers in the game at this point.)

My good buddy Hank was excited about the start of autumn. He loves the fall events, including the sports fair, mushroom hunting, moon viewing, and Halloween.

When I spoke with Ursala, she told me she was thinking about starting up a surfing club. She asked if I would like to join, and I said yes. But then she got upset because she didn’t think I’d actually want to join. She said it was all just a joke, and she called me weird for believing her.

So Ursala and Puck both tried to trick me, but they had very different reactions when I played along with them.

Today is actually my town anniversary! Forest began 19 years ago today! 😮 If you’d like to see the town tour video I recorded two years ago, here it is! Forest hasn’t changed much since then…and that includes the villagers. Thirteen of 15 are the same, but I now have Amelia and Pinky instead of Dozer and Snake.

Nintendo recently announced that a new series of Amiibo cards is coming soon. While it will surely have cards of the eight new villagers added in New Horizons, I have a feeling that they’ll bring back at least some of the villagers we haven’t seen since GameCube. I’m really hoping to see Hank, Emerald, and Woolio reappear! (And also Champ from Wild World and City Folk.) I’m keeping my fingers crossed! 🤞

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Unfortunately, Forest is all out of juice. Tangy has been squeezed out of town; I got her goodbye letter in the mail today. Her replacement is Bubbles the hippo. I really don’t like hippos, but she seems fairly nice.

Bubbles previously lived in Forest in 2011.

At Nookington’s, I bought some sky blue paint for my roof. My roof had been an ugly shade of green for far too long. 😛

The annual meteor shower was held tonight, so I went to the lake for the event. Tom and Hank were sitting together. Tom said he was bored by the shooting stars, but he was staying just because Hank wanted to watch them more.

Hank told a slightly different story, though. He said he wanted to watch the meteors by himself, but Tom wouldn’t leave him alone. 😀

Meanwhile, Baabara was… well, she was being Baabara.

As simple as this event is, I love it. The music is so relaxing, ethereal, and nostalgic. It perfectly sets the mood for the event. There’s nothing quite like it.

Elsewhere in town, Belle told me that my outfit doesn’t really wow her. 🙄

I don’t dress to please you, Belle. Besides, at least I’m not a clone of a previous villager. 😛 On the bright side, she did give me a spiderweb shirt for free.

What if Spider-Man could shoot webs out of his mouth? It may look something like this. 😛

I posted a new video that compares the pitfall dialogue of each Animal Crossing game. And of course, it shows a few GameCube villagers falling into pits…so I hope you’ll check it out.

I hope you enjoyed the meteor shower tonight, for those of you who still play. Have a great night (or day), and I’ll see you next time! The great September fishing season is just a few weeks away!
