Jeff's ACCF Blog

Now that July is here, all summer bugs are out in full force. So I grabbed my net and went bug-hunting last night. But I forgot that it’s not always safe to walk around with my net out. I encountered my first tarantula of the year, and I did not win the battle.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has the island, which is great for bug-catching, but not as many bugs seem to appear in town. City Folk has lots of tree beetles on summer nights, so I still prefer bug-hunting in ACCF. I caught quite a few bugs last night, including this elephant beetle on the peninsula.

Unfortunately, I was finding lots of Miyama stags and dynastid beetles, and not as many of the more valuable beetles. But still, I enjoyed my bug hunt and I earned 44,000 bells in the process.

I played again today (early in the evening). To my surprise, I found a parasaur skull in the recycle bin at town hall! It’s not very often you find a fossil in there! But what makes this even more interesting, is that a parasaur skull is the same fossil I found in Wild World on Wednesday, which completed my fossil exhibit in that game!

Over on the bridge, I stopped to enjoy the sunset. What a pretty time of day.

I ran a few errands for villagers, and I also did my usual things like digging up the fossils I saw.

After a bus ride out to the city, I ended my game for the day.

May 19, 2014: The Final Wi-Fi Session

Last night, I noticed a new house in the same spot where Savannah recently lived. So I went inside to meet my new neighbor, and it was Tangy the cat.

Her eyes were so big, you’d think she was just freshly squeezed. She definitely looked juiced.

Today, Wendell was in town. I gave him an eel that I caught last week.

The starving artist promptly slurped it down.

He then gave me the mystery circle D pattern. That is the last of the four patterns that I needed to make my mystery circle! Well, it’s probably better known as a crop circle. I placed one over by the museum, although I’m not sure if this will be its permanent (or only) location just yet.

I (accidentally) found out that you can also use the crop circle patterns to make a letter “S” or even just some wavy snake-like designs around town.

Over by Able Sisters, Kitty told me that Benedict and Nan have been fighting lately. Being the great friend that Kitty is, she hopes they never get it sorted out. Because she enjoys seeing them throw pecan pie at each other!

I went inside Able Sisters to get a couple of designs out of storage. Since it’s summer now, I put two bikinis on display for my animal villagers! One is a star bikini and the other is rainbow-colored. I don’t know who created these bikini designs, since they were given to me by friends who got them from other friends. But I hope my animals start wearing them soon. It’s pretty funny when you see a male villager wearing something like this. 😀

And just in case you want to see what my current pattern slots look like (or if you want a closer look at the bikinis), here you go.

Static asked me to make a delivery to Poncho, so I did. He told me he was glad it finally arrived…and then he told me to punch him. So I did.

I started looking around for Static…and then I remembered he was in his house today. 😛 When I told him I made the delivery, he rewarded me with a tartan rug.

As expected, Freckles has now left Forest. I got her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Static was sick with a cold. I wonder if the cold gives him electric boogies. I gave him some medicine, so he should be feeling better soon. Hopefully.

Chow wanted a new catchphrase, so I decided to revive one I’ve used before: if I die. Unfortunately, I somehow neglected to capitalize the “i.” Oops.

Tank asked me to make a delivery to Kitty, and that gift was a blue sweatsuit. Kitty didn’t care for it. But Tank still gave me an exquisite rug for my trouble.

I went fishing in the river, and I caught an eel that I put in my house (for future use). I sold the rest of my catches.

When I bumped into Poncho, he asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “punch me.” Partially because it sounds a bit like Poncho, and partially because I want to punch him. Just kidding…maybe. But he has not grown on me in the time he’s lived here. Definitely not one of my favorite next-door neighbors that I’ve had.
