Scoot Over

Kitty sent my reward (from last week) in the mail, and I got it (a round carpet) today.

When I visited Scoot, I was sad to see his belongings packed up in boxes. He’s moving out of town. 🙁

Scoot: Whoa! Sizzly J?! I was trying to move out in secret, but you must've heard my muscles flexing.

Opal told me that she was spending lots of time looking at her reflection in the river. And while she was doing it, she apparently dropped her house key into the water. Not the smartest thing to do.

Opal: I was spending a lot of time looking at my reflection in the water, and I could have dropped it then.
That’s what you get for not sending me a valentine last week.

I decided to look for her key, just to be nice (even though I didn’t want to waste too much time on it). But amazingly, I found the key on my very first try!

Is this the key to her heart? Nope.

I took it back to her, and she rewarded me by giving me a mega bovoid. Holy cow.

Midge was standing near the museum, talking about Blathers. She said that he works hard all night…… in her nest! 😮

Midge: You know, because of Blathers... He must work so hard all night, in my nest...
Birds of a feather… flock together.

The snow in town will be gone as of Monday morning. I’m looking forward to seeing green grass again. And at some point next week, I’m going to try to record my pitfall video. So keep an eye out for that. 🙂

In the meantime, please enjoy my latest episode of Mario Plays ACCF. 🙂

Valentine’s Day 2019

I found two letters in my mailbox when I started up the game today. One was a letter from Bones, thanking me for the medicine I took him recently; he sent me a space station. The other letter was a valentine from Kitty! Ugh! Why her? She sent a chocolate heart with the valentine.

To: Jeff. Happy Valentine's Day! Please enjoy this little treat, since I think you're pretty neat! -From: Kitty.

I had a chat with Dizzy, and he shared a story he’s planning on using in a comic book someday. He said it’s an epic fantasy that takes place in the Kingdom of Forest. A dude named “Bro J” is in charge of all the goats in the village.

Dizzy: Even though Bro J is just a little dude, he's in charge of all the goats in the whole village.

Ultimately, Bro J saves the village from an evil wizard. Sounds like a good idea for a comic book, Dizzy!

I went down to the Roost to get a special treat that’s only available on Valentine’s Day each year: hot chocolate! Yum!

It's so sweet!

Maple asked me to catch a pale chub for her. I tried fishing for several minutes, but I never caught a pale chub for her.

Kitty (my supposed Valentine) asked me to make a delivery to Static. It was a No. 1 shirt, and Static just thought it was okay. When I returned to Kitty, she couldn’t give me a reward because my pockets were full of fish. She’ll send it in the mail.

I hope you’re all having a happy Valentine’s Day! 💖

A Growing Collection

Last Saturday was Groundhog Day, and I spoke with Tortimer outside of town hall to pick up a free Resetti model.

Tortimer: And don't start up with that whole 'I don't need a rodent to tell the season!' routine again.

Yesterday, and then again tonight, I gave Bones some medicine. Poor thing, he’s barely had time to unpack, and now he’s stuck in his house with a cold.

Bones takes his medicine in ACCF.

Static told me he was planning on moving out of town, but I changed his mind for him.

Static: And moving's such a hassle, anyway. All right, you've convinced me. I'll stay in Forest!

I talked to him again, and as he was speaking, I saw a dung beetle push a snowball into the river behind Static.

My pitfall seed collection has been growing quite nicely…

Jeff's collection of 30 pitfall seeds in Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii.
Maybe Bones is smart to stay indoors.

And you know when I have that many pitfall seeds, my brain tries to come up with some deliciously evil recipes to use them on my villagers. 😉 I have something planned, but it’s not going to be the same as some of my other pitfall videos. It won’t be as elaborate as my Match Race, but it will feature a twist from what I usually do. I’ll try to post it by the end of the month.

Speaking of videos, here is the video I mentioned last time: It’s 13 Things I’d Like to See in Animal Crossing Switch. It uses footage from several other games to illustrate my ideas, but most of the clips feature ACCF.

And I also have a new episode of Mario Plays ACCF. My favorite scene is the one where I gave Mott some medicine. I think it came out really well; let me know what you think!
