Snow in the City

There was no snow yet in Forest. However, went I went to the city, it was snowing there! Yes!

Snow falls in the city.While in the city, I checked out Redd’s new inventory. He had a cabana bed, a quaint painting, and a super toilet. I passed.

Back in Forest, Bob asked me to play hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find him, Amelia, and Rowan.

Bob, Amelia, and Rowan meet me outside of town hall before starting a game of hide-and-seek.Bob was hiding behind the empty house, which Megan claims is her vacation home.

Bob: Eeeeek! You found me! But this is my super-secret hideout! How'd you do it, gobble?It took me about 8 minutes, but I did eventually find everyone. Bob rewarded me with a mini-sproid.

Bob: ...Oh, that's right, the winner deserves a prize, right? OK... Here's your prize: a mini sproid!And apparently, I never noticed how much I like the shade of green on the roof of the Able Sisters’ shop.

Bananas 2.0

It was another dry day in Forest. I’m hoping the first snowfall of the season comes soon. So I went around town, watering my flowers. Avery approached me; he wanted to move out. I told him not to go, and he agreed to stay.

Avery: Well, I guess I don't wanna be hasty before I just run off to a strange town...When I was done in Forest, I saved and quit my game for the day.

But I wasn’t done with Animal Crossing: City Folk just yet. You may know how I made a test town on my Wii U to test things out, called Bananas. That town was deleted when I moved Forest from my Wii to my Wii U. But I’ve decided to make a new town on my Wii, although it’s mainly just so that I can get the DLC that comes out. So this is Bananas 2.0:

The town map of Bananas.I happen to like this town layout quite a bit. For one thing, it has an island–a boot shaped island. But more importantly, Nook’s, Ables, town hall, and the museum are all bunched up in the same area, all near the gate. I chose the house just below town hall, so my house is near everything as well. That is extremely convenient.

Pelly: Welcome to Bananas!The starting villagers are Mallary, Puck, Fang, Rod, Wendy, and Peaches. Fang is cool and Puck has long been one of my favorite animals (I have him in my GameCube town).

Puck: I will always remember November 27th, 2012... 'Cause that's the day we met, brrrrrrrrr!So it is a nice town, but I still don’t plan on playing it much. You might see an occasional blog post about Bananas, but Forest will remain my main town.

Stinging Sunday

It’s that time of year when snow starts falling, so I was hoping I would see some today. No such luck. But it should be any day now…

I took the bus to the city to check this week’s new emotions. Nothing for me this time, thanks.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?The flea market was going on today. I went in Bob’s house, but he didn’t have anything I wanted.

Bob: I'm happy you came to take a look, gobble! And if you buy something, I'll be even happier!I watered my flowers and found one new black rose. Then I shook a few trees. I didn’t find anything good, but the bees sure found me!

I got stung by a bee! Ow! Ow ow ow!
