Welcoming Willow

Yesterday, I recorded a video of a gameplay session in the snow. I uploaded the video today:

Today, I received a snowman wardrobe in the mail from the snowman I built yesterday. And speaking of that snowman, he was a little smaller (and perhaps cuter) today…but he was still just as happy with himself.

Snowman: I'll be looking fine when I represent Forest in the 2026 Mr. Snowman Snowslam!

It was snowing again tonight, and Camofrog was so freezing that I was afraid he was about to croak. 🐸

Camofrog: B-b-bah! It's freezing out here! And now that the sun's down, it's even w-w-worse, ten-hut!

I snuck up on the bulletin board bird and moved the camera so he practically flew right into it. 😛

The bulletin board bird flies toward the camera in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

A bit later, I went up to the Roost and asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “Cafe K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Cafe K.K..

It’s a pretty good song, but it’s the same song he just sang for me last week! Two weeks in a row is a bit much!

After completely circling around town, I finally noticed a new house right next door to mine. It was in the same spot where Mint just recently lived. Inside, I found Willow the yellow sheep. She seems nice, even if she refused to tell me which town she came from. 😛

Willow: I'm Willow, and I'm from... Well, maybe I'll keep THAT to myself, bo peep.
“I whip my wool back and forth,
I whip my wool back and forth…”

See you all next week! Stay safe (and warm) out there!

Flame War

As expected, I received Mint’s goodbye letter in the mail today. So long, Mint!

Dear Jeff, I've decided to move away from Forest. It's hard to say bye to good friends like you. So I won't. Because I'm SURE we'll meet again somewhere! From: Mint

Chip was standing outside of town hall, because there was another fishing tournament today. Of course, I missed out on it, but he informed me that Deena won the horse mackerel-only tourney by catching a 17.2-incher. Congrats, Deena!

Chip: Deena from here in Forest! Solid fishing! But not so much for you. Nyuuk nyuk!

I went over to the Roost to check out the Saturday night show, and K.K. performed “Cafe K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Cafe K.K..

After the show, Camofrog asked me to make a delivery to Scoot for him. He didn’t want to do it himself because he was afraid he’d be spotted…

Camofrog: See, if I get spotted handing over a present, things could get sticky...

But he’s camouflaged! How would anyone spot him?

On the way to Scoot’s house, I stopped to roll up a big snowman near the top of the waterfall. Fortunately, he was pleased with his appearance.

Snowman: But I never dreamed that I'd wind up this gorgeous! You, sir, are an artist! I can't think you enough!

I also took a screenshot of him from down below, too.

I found Scoot behind town hall, and he hated the gift (a flame shirt)!

Scoot: Camofrog doesn't look like it, but he's capable of some hardcore, ruthless jokes.
Camofrog thought the shirt was fire, but this duck thought it was fowl.

He disliked it so much that he was already starting to plan his revenge! Wow! It looks like this is starting a feud between them! Or…a flame war. The shirt isn’t that bad, man. I actually like it myself. 😛

I returned to Camofrog, and he was shocked that the gift didn’t go over well. He rewarded me with a boxing mat.

Camofrog: GRAH! Really? The gift was a total stinker?!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll be back with another entry next week! Never Stop Crossing!

Mint Leaves

Forest’s newest resident, Sydney the koala, came down with a cold today. I gave her some medicine, so hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

My next-door neighbor was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I guess Mint is looking for a fresh start. I like her as a character, but her snootiness does annoy me a bit at times. The snooties have always been my least-favorite personality in Animal Crossing games. But I wish Mint the best, and maybe we’ll meet again someday.

Mint: I need to clean up this place before I leave!
As if you’re not going to take the house with you.

Rosie was standing out in the cold, saying it’s so cold that it’s “survival-TV-show cold.” She was afraid she’d have to build a fire! Did she forget she has a house?

Rosie: It's cold! Like, survival-TV-show cold, la-di-da! ...I may have to build a fire with, like, flint and stuff.

Scoot asked me for a frog shirt, so I ordered him one. I shut the game off for the afternoon, but I returned tonight. The shirt arrived in the mail, so I took it over to Scoot. He was overjoyed to have his iconic outfit again, and he rewarded me with some birch flooring.

Scoot: Sparkles...that was bigger than hitting a basket at the buzzer! You came through for me!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Dixie” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Dixie.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time!
