Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

As I started up the game today, I found Cube’s goodbye letter in the mail. Sad to see him go, but that’s how things go.

When I ran into Snake, he told me he painted my roof for me! I hate when animals do that, so I told him that was lame.

I went home to look at my house, and it turns out that Snake painted my roof pink! Definitely not my favorite.

Since he just happened to be in acre B-4, I took advantage of the situation by using the bridge glitch to push him into the river! I then hit him with the net as well. He was ready to fight me…aside from being stuck in the river, that is. 😛

I spotted a new house in town, so I checked it out. Pudge the bear cub was inside; he just moved into town. He’s okay, but not one of my favorites.

When I ran into Baabara, she insisted that I should buy a new carpet from her…for 33,370 bells. I kindly told the rude sheep to go fluff herself.

Over by the wishing well, Hank told me that he painted my roof. Wow, twice in one day?? But since my roof was already a color I didn’t like, I didn’t mind that Hank painted over it. He painted it green, and I was okay with that.

I asked Static for a job, and he asked me to retrieve a picture book that he loaned to Ursala.

I headed to Ursala’s house, but she told me she loaned the book to Snake. So I went to find Snake in the grass, and he told me Belle snaked it!

Belle wasn’t home, so I had to search for her. I eventually found her grazing near Candi’s house. And guess what? She lent it to Maple! I continued on to Maple’s house, only to find that Maple was sleeping! All that work, and I couldn’t even complete the task! 😛

On that note, I wrapped up my day in Forest. But I’m not putting away the GameCube game for the month just yet. I’m working on a new video, so I’ll be playing more in the coming days. Not only in Forest, but I’ll also be checking in on my second town of Ohio as well. I haven’t posted an update on my Ohio town in two years! So you can expect an extra blog entry (or two) in the next couple weeks. See you soon!

Today was the first day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, so I headed down to the wishing well to check it out. Animals are eating, drinking, laughing, and dancing…as pink cherry blossoms fall from the sky.

Sydney and Hank sat at one table, Static and Candi sat at the other table, and Belle was the dancing freak this year. 😛

Static was having a good time, and Candi offered me some sandwiches.

In addition to the music at the festival, the regular hourly tunes are also jazzed up a bit. It’s definitely an enjoyable time of year to play the original Animal Crossing. 🙂

When I ran into Emerald, she was sad that she hasn’t been able to catch a snail yet. Poor froggy.

Then, at the town garbage dump, I found myself a toilet! Why would someone put this here? Maybe they wanted to take a dump in the dump.

Sadly, Egbert has already moved out of town. But I met his replacement, and he’s pretty cool too. It’s Cube the penguin; I like how he wears a GameCube shirt.

Genji asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “right here,” so I told him to say “on a bun.”

I was chatting with Baabara on a bridge, and she asked me what I thought about Cube…as Cube was standing right behind me! Was she trying to get me in trouble? 😛 I told her Cube was a nice person.

I hope you all enjoy the festival! It runs through Saturday (April 7th), so check it out for yourself if you can. If you’d like to see an old video of the event, here’s one I recorded three years ago:

I played a little Animal Crossing yesterday, and I saw that Stu has already moved out of town.

Stu’s replacement was Egbert the yellow chicken. I’ve had him in my City Yolk town before, but now I get a crack at him on GameCube too. I’ve always liked Egbert, and he’s my 2nd favorite chicken in the series, just behind Hank. Benedict is a close #3, in case you were wondering.

At Nookington’s, I decided to buy this train car model.

I have the locomotive model (from Father’s Day) in my basement, and I decided to put this train car model behind it. Even though I don’t have a full track across the room, I still like how this looks here. I decided to remove two of my lighthouse models to make some room down here.

I didn’t speak to everyone yesterday, so it was a quick session. But I made sure to play again today. I accidentally asked Puck for a job, and he asked me to deliver some clothes to Maple. He said I could use the exercise…

This isn’t the first time he implied that I’m overweight, as you may remember from my Animal Crossing Rudeness video.

Static asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “in a flash,” so I told him to say “it zaps me.” He hasn’t used it in any funny way yet, but maybe next time.

When I chatted with Hank, he noticed the kiddie bookcase in my pockets. He offered to give me a strange painting for it. I gladly agreed to the trade, even though my museum is already complete. It’s a good deal to get a painting in a trade, especially on GameCube, since there are no forgeries.

A strange painting, huh? How strange could it be?

Just kidding, that’s not what it looks like. 😛

I then found Maple standing near a pond, and I gave her the shirt from Puck. She was thrilled with the shirt, and she was very sweet and grateful. And yet, she only gave me 223 bells as my reward. 😛

Today was the day of the spring sports festival! Unfortunately, I played too late to attend the first three events. But I did get to witness the tug-o’-war. Candi and Genji (Team Big Ears) were teamed up against the chicken-and bear cub team of Egbert and Kody. Let’s call them Team Banjo-Kazooie. Sydney was the referee…or flag-waver, to be more specific.

Honestly, the tug-o’-war is probably my least favorite event of the sports fair. It gets boring quickly. The aerobics is more fun because you can participate, and the foot race is unique because you get to see a villager fire a gun (the starter’s pistol). 😛 The ball toss is my favorite of all; it’s just fun to watch.

If you’d like to see all of the events, here is an old video of mine that shows all four events.

After a stop at the dump (where I found a picnic table and a retro TV) and the post office, I returned home for the day. If you participated in the sports fair, I hope you had a good time! Remember, there will be another one in September if you missed out today.

Thanks for stopping by the blog, and please come again! I’ll see you next time! 🙂
