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…

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!

Tartar Sauce

On Monday, I found Dizzy near town hall. He wanted to snack on some fish, but he realized he had to catch some first. As for the tartar sauce, he asked if he had to fish that out of the water too.

Dizzy: Do they come with tartar sauce, or do I have to fish that out of the water, too?

Today, I shot down a balloon present and it contained a bottled ship. If there’s anyone on board that ship, I bet they’re quite confused by now. They’re on a ship built for the water, yet they were sailing through the air instead. And now they’re grounded.

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. I went around town to ask all of my villagers for some, and three of them obliged: Kitty, Maple, and Dizzy all had old wallpaper for me. I took them over to Saharah, and she gave me a classroom wall in exchange for them.

Saharah: Here...a classroom wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

It’s not one that I needed or wanted, but oh well. Saharah isn’t very cooperative in this game.

There’s no new episode of Mario Plays ACCF this week, but there will be one next week. Also, I’m working on another video that I hope to have up in the next week or so. It’s not an ACCF video, but it will have several ACCF clips in it. Stay tuned. 🙂

Visible Bones

Yesterday, I found a new house in the spot where Tabby recently lived. When I went inside, I was happy to see a familiar face: Bones the dog!

Bones: Eep! My place still isn't ready, and neither am I! I'm Bones, and I just moved here today.

I had Bones in my New Leaf town until just a few weeks ago. Around the same time, Bones also moved into my GameCube town! I like Bones, but the problem was that he goes to bed so early that I rarely got to see him.

However, that will not be a problem in this case. Unlike the other games, no villagers go to sleep earlier than 1 a.m. in City Folk! That’s one advantage of ACCF that nobody ever seems to mention, but it’s a big plus for night owls like me!

I visited him again today, and he’s fully unpacked now. Interestingly, he has two chairs in the center of his room, placed back to back. Is he planning on playing musical chairs? It reminds me of my ACCF 1st anniversary party. 😛

Opal asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, so I had ten minutes to find her, Limberg, and Scoot. I followed my nose and found Limberg almost immediately.

Limberg: Aww, nuts! You found me already, squinky?! Maybe I should wear less aftershave...
Aftershave? It doesn’t look like you’ve shaved in a week.

A couple minutes later, I found Opal trying to hide behind a palm tree.

But after two full trips around town, I still couldn’t find Scoot. Time ran out, and I lost the game. It’s been a while since I’ve lost a game of hide-and-seek. Scoot must’ve had a really good hiding spot! After I spoke to Opal again, we returned to town hall, where Opal continued to gloat. 😛

Opal: I mean, I knew it was going to turn out this way!

I took my frustrations (not really) out on a snowman I made. Take that! 😀

Have a great weekend, everyone! See you next time!
