Music Glitching and Merging

Tonight was my Wi-Fi night, so I opened my gate shortly after 10:00. Megan and Yann came over to visit. After watering my flowers, I showed them my new Metroid.

Jeff: My meggtroid. Yann: Congrats.Now that I have the sighing emotion (disappointment), Megan and I were using our sighs to try to breathe life into the creepy skeleton.

Jeff and Yann use nets to try to catch Megan's bubbles.Megan was feeling tired and said she was about to go. But first, I offered to give her the music glitch. She agreed, and she chose Marine Song 2001. Before she long, she was getting tired of it.

Megan: This song...But then Megan decided to be mischievous evil. She went and plugged in her Wii Speak…not to talk to us, but to play the song she was stuck with. She wanted to torture us as well!

Megan: U can suffer toooo!We went to Del’s house for a while, and then bounced around from place to place.

Bouncing around outside of Del's house.At some point, I gave Yann the music glitch as well. She wanted K.K. Parade, which is circus music. Later on, we went into Scott’s house and did some merging.

Megan and Yann merged into a hideous creature.Megan was doing some musical keyboard spamming in time to the music and we all joined in.

All of us: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI eventually ended the party and saved my game for the night.

Metroid!

Tonight, Rowan asked me to find a fruit beetle for him. That’s one of the easiest tasks ever.

Rowan: I am ALL about those crazy things. I'm serious! They're crawling in my dreams.So I walked a few feet and caught one. I gave it to Rowan and he thanked me by giving me a tea-room wall.

Rowan: Yesss! A fruit beetle! HIGH FIVE, bud! You hooked me up big-time.After I was done watering my flowers, I made my way to the beach for the night’s main event: Gulliver.

Gulliver: Oh, wait, that one I know. I'm Gulliver, captain of the Crusty Barnacle... Um. Crusty SPACE Barnacle.It wasn’t an easy journey, but my long wait is over. He gave me the Metroid! Score!

My new Metroid on display in my house.Even though it looks cool, the best part is the short bit of Metroid music it plays. It made me think of how Metroid (the game series) has such great, atmospheric, even haunting music. More than any other Nintendo franchise (yes, even Zelda), I feel that the unique music in Metroid is an integral part of the game. Metroid with a different soundtrack may have still been a good game, but I don’t feel it would have become the classic that it is.

Sorry for going off on a tangent there. But tomorrow night is Friday Night Forest, so check back late tomorrow night for another entry.

Unidentified Flying Seagull

I took the bus to the city today and saw my old doctor villager Buck there. Somehow I wasn’t surprised that he was talking about butts.

Buck: Dude! Are they making bus seats outta slabs of solid granite now?I checked the new items at Crazy Redd’s shop, but he didn’t have anything I was interested in. Phineas was also in the city, so I got a bubble wand from him.

Phineas: OK, settle down, now! I'm sure I've got just the thing for you.Back in Forest, everything indicated that today would be a UFO day. And indeed, at 8:07, the UFO flew overhead. Direct hit!

Shooting a UFO with my slingshot.This was my 19th time shooting down the UFO overall and 9th time in 2012. As I was looking for the spaceship part, Yuka approached me. Even though I didn’t really want to talk to her, I was hoping she was going to say she was moving out. But she was just asking for a new catchphrase. So I gave her one.

What's the catchphrase? I hate you.Meanwhile, I was having a hard time finding the spaceship part. I was starting to get worried. But then I finally spotted it. It was much farther from the impact site than it usually is…perhaps the farthest that I’ve seen it. But I did recover it, and that’s all that matters. Check back tomorrow to find out which rare item Gulliver gives me.

A spaceship part on the ground near my path.
