Pit Path Prep

On Thursday, Punchy was still sick. So I gave him some more medicine.

Punchy takes his medicine.

Using some information I learned last week, I set things up for my pitfall plan. I set a trap, which collected four villagers with almost no effort on my part (other than digging a few holes). Although the trap basically reset when I ventured too far from that area, I returned and re-trapped three villagers pretty quickly.

I dug holes, buried pitfalls along a path, and released my victims.

Here is my video that shows the whole thing. I only wish Tiffany was involved, instead of poor Bones.

Today, Punchy was over his cold. He sent me a stool to thank me for the medicine.

Chip had his tent set up outside of town hall for the fishing tournament, but of course, I played too late to participate. He told me that Bones was the winner. Congrats, Bones! Hopefully that will cheer him up after what happened the other day.

Chip: Bones from here in Forest! Solid fishing! But not so much for you. Nyuuk nyuk!

Goldie asked me for a mole cricket, so I kept my ears open for the critter. It didn’t take me long to track one down. When I took it over to Goldie, she thanked me and gave me a lattice wall for the trouble.

I went down to the Roost and caught the Saturday night performance of K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Condor for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Condor.

By the way, if you didn’t yet see last week’s episode of Mario Plays ACCF, here it is:

You’re Not Moving!

Thursday night, there was another aurora in the sky. I know I take a lot of pictures of the northern lights, but at least I try to take them from different spots. This one has the waterfall in the background, and I really like it.

Goldie told me she was thinking about moving out, but I made sure to change her mind as quickly as I could.

Goldie: What's wrong with me?! The answer is so obvious! I'm going to stay, in a pound!
Or you could stay in your house.

Goldie actually tried to kill me later! I didn’t take a picture, but the attempt will show up in a future video. 🙂

And last night, a dung beetle also tried to kill me! Fortunately, I survived. I decided to start having some fun with my huge collection of pitfall seeds.

I tested some things out and I now have a basic plan on what I’m going to do in my next pitfall video. I’ll probably get to that in the next week or two. 🙂

Tonight, Punchy was sick with a cold. So I gave him some medicine.

After saving Goldie on Thursday, I had to save another one of my favorites tonight. Static, of all people, had the nerve to suggest that he might leave town! Over my dead body!

Static: You've convinced me, skippy. I'll stay on as Forest's crankiest resident a while longer.

I’ll be posting a new Mario Plays ACCF video tomorrow.

I Don’t Love Lucy

When I played on Thursday, I received Mitzi’s goodbye letter in the mail. So long, Mitzi. 🙁

Dear Jeff, Today's my last day. I'm leaving Forest. Good-bye, Jeff. I hope you won't forget me! -Take care, Mitzi

While waiting for a balloon present, I spotted this one soaring just inches over the top of the cliff.

A balloon present flies on-screen, just inches above the clifftop.

Yesterday, I found a new house in town. Mitzi’s replacement is Lucy the pig. Eh, I’m not really a fan. I don’t love Lucy.

Lucy: Oh! I'm sorry! Everything's such a mess, and now, of course, I've got a visitor...
I’m not thrilled to see you either, pig.

The northern lights started appearing at 11 p.m. last night. I took this photo from the bus stop, looking back towards my (castle-shaped) gate.

Oh, hi Static.

Except for Punchy (who locked himself out of his house), the outdoor villagers were talking about the Aurora.

Kitty: To take a picture of the aurora, some smarty-pants said I needed all sorts of ridiculous camera gear.

I gave Goldie medicine the past two days, and she was all better by today. She thanked me by giving me a Corinthian post.

Goldie: I know, I'm still feeling perfect, but I'll take it easy so that I don't have a relapse, in a pound!

Punchy asked me to catch a centipede for him, so I went around banging rocks. I was about to give up when one finally came out of the rock by the museum. I took it over to Punchy, and he rewarded me with 532 bells (big surprise). But then he said something I would never, ever, ever agree to!

Punchy: Huh huh huh! Don't worry, little centipede, you can sleep in my bed tonight!
That’s a big no from me.

I posted a new video today called Fun with Snowballs. It includes a bunch of things I’ve tried with snowballs. I dropped them on villagers’ heads, I went bowling for Tiffany, I tried shooting a balloon present onto a snowman, and more. Give it a shot! 🙂
