Jeff's ACCF Blog

On Saturday night, Opal told me that she’s prettier than a field of fireflies. Is comparing yourself to some insects really the new standard for beauty? Okay, if you say so, Opal. 😛

Samson suggested a new nickname for me, and it’s a very spectral special name. J-boo!

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been playing a lot of Mario games lately, as I made my Mario’s Morning Routine video, but this is all that came to mind.

I made some preparations for my next ACCF video, and I’ve been playing City Folk every day this week. I’m waiting for a sunny day to record the video, but every day since Sunday has been cloudy or raining. I know the rainy season will end on July 1st, but I’m hoping I don’t have to wait that long for one nice day. We’ll see.

Tabby had been asking me for some new clothes, so I bought her a military uniform at Able Sisters on Monday. I thought I maybe I could send her off to join the army or something. But when I took it over to her, she refused it! How rude!

Drift told me he planned on moving out of town, but fortunately, I was able to talk him out of it.

On Tuesday, Kabuki told me he’s really into watching soccer lately. He must be enjoying the World Cup competition that’s going on right now!

Pascal was in town on Wednesday, but I couldn’t find a scallop to give him. But I still spoke with him to hear his words of wisdom. He said that ideals are single flowers planted in the desert.

Yesterday, Kitty asked me for a ladybug. I caught one for her, and she rewarded me with a concrete wall.

Today, I bought a sunset top at Able Sisters. Maybe wearing something bright and cheery will help with the cloudy day week blues.

Clyde came down with a cold, so he needed some medicine. I bought some horse pills for him, since it just cost a mare mere 320 bells. I galloped back to his house, and handed him the medicine. Hopefully he’ll get some thorough bed rest and be back in the saddle soon. 😉

Virtually everyone has been saying “tweedledee” as their catchphrase, and it’s been annoying me lately. So when a few villagers asked me to change to something new, I jumped at the chance. Static now says “buzz off,” Opal now says “ol’ pal,” and Midge says “on Twitter.”

Speaking of Midge, I made a delivery for her, and she rewarded me with an old brick wall. What’s with all these hard walls as gifts lately? 😛

And after selling some fruit and fossils, my bank account balance reached 32 million bells. I’m sure I’ll add to that over the summer, especially in July and August, when all the rare summer beetles come out.

Okay, that’s all I have for now. But I hope to be back soon with a new blog entry and video. I’ll probably post the video the day after I record it… So if it’s sunny in Forest tomorrow, I’ll post the video Sunday. But it could take a bit longer if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Have a good weekend!

The first Bug-Off of the year was held today, so I had a quick chat with Nat. He gave me a refresher on how the Bug-Off works.

After I was done talking with Nat, Tabby happened to walk by. And sure enough, the stinky cat had a flea on her! I got my net out and caught the flea. That poor flea deserves better than to live its life on Tabby!

So I turned around and gave the flea to Nat. It only scored 4 points, which was well behind the current Bug-Off leader, Samson. Samson’s 56-point mantis was the bug to beat. But as I was still chatting with Nat, I noticed a butterfly fly by.

It was an agrias butterfly; I caught it and gave it to Nat as well. It scored 78 points, and put me in the lead! Nat gave me an exotic chair as my prize. It was kind of funny how each of those events just led into the next one.

When I visited Drift, he told me he was too busy practicing with his extreme hockey team to clean up his house. He then asked me to slide my feet across the floor to pick up some dust. The problem is that his entire floor is all sand! I don’t think picking up some dust is going to help much.

After making my rounds, I shut the game off for a while. But I returned after 6:00 p.m. to see the final results of the Bug-Off. My agrias butterfly held on to the top spot, and I won! I found my bug trophy waiting for me in the mailbox.

When I was done, I switched to my two alternate characters (Guest and Scott) to clear out their mailboxes and check to see what they had in storage. I’m planning my next ACCF video, and I’m hoping to have it done in the next week or two.

Tonight, Static asked me to play a game of Secret Patrol. He really just meant hide-and-seek; I had to find the three crooks to protect the town. I agreed to play.

He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Drift, and Midge. Whenever they give me 15 minutes, I like to take my time…and do my normal activities as I look. But I just happened to find Static almost immediately. He was hiding behind Scott’s house.

I later found Drift hiding behind the museum.

With eight and a half minutes left to go, I found Midge behind Kabuki’s house to win the game. Static gave me a mini clankoid as my prize.

After circling around town and speaking with Static again, he fell into a pitfall. It wasn’t one I planted. In fact, I didn’t even realize it was there until I heard him fall!

There was a new house next to my own house (where Champ recently lived). Maple the bear cub was inside. I’m actually not very fond of Maple in my GameCube town, but maybe I can get a fresh start with this Maple.

I realized I hadn’t dug up any fossils lately, so I made a thorough search around town. I ended up finding two of them. Along the way, I also caught a few summer bugs, including an emperor butterfly and this rainbow stag.

The full slate of summer bugs won’t be out until July 1st, so this is just a taste of what’s to come later on.

Have a good weekend, everyone! If you’re looking for more Animal Crossing content, I recently put up a new video of Animal Crossing GameCube clips. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link: GameCube Moments #10. See you next time!
