Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

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!

I was a bit surprised to see Amelia greeting me as I started up the game today. That meant that Patty, who has lived in town for over 10 months, was the animal leaving…not Amelia. This was Patty’s goodbye letter.

Copper posted a message to the bulletin board, announcing that summer aerobics season started today. I don’t know why, but it made me smile just to know that the event is now underway…even though I don’t plan on participating.

But then again, who knows…maybe I will give it a go at some point…

There were some beetles on trees, and I caught several of them…even though I didn’t come across any really valuable ones. But I did catch something else that was valuable: an arapaima!

At Nookington’s, I bought a green tie-dye shirt and put it on. I like changing my clothes every few months, whether I need it or not. 😉

I spoke with Tom over at the wishing well, and he said he was going to start running his own business. So he started listing items for sale, and I had to choose one of them to buy (or I’d be forced to buy the 5th item whether I wanted it or not).

I ended up buying the 4th piece, which was an exotic end table, for 770 bells. It was the only sub-1,000 bell item, so I think I made the right choice.

Belle was also trying to run a business. She wanted me to buy a mystery item for all the money in my pockets: 49,330 bells! Obviously, I said no.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw Patty’s replacement: Tangy the (orange) cat has moved into town!

Tangy is one of my favorites, but she’s a villager that rarely seems to move into any of my towns. And most likely, she won’t stick around here long. But I’m glad to see her while I can. 🙂

Between the fish and bugs I caught, the money rock, and some fossils, I actually made over 50,000 bells today. Making 50k might be a bad day in New Horizons, but it’s actually a pretty large amount for GameCube.

I’ll see you all next time! Have a great day. 🙂
