Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Yesterday, I received a letter from Gullivarrr in the mail. He sent me a pirate-treasure chest.

I like the item overall, but it’s a bit disappointing that it can’t be closed and opened; it’s always open. And the gold doesn’t look particularly shiny…even my golden roses look shinier. 😛

I finally bred my first orange rose, and I was planning on using black and orange roses to decorate for Halloween. However, the orange rose is very pale and it almost looks pink to me. So I may just use orange windflowers to decorate instead.

Louie informed me that he lost his training notebook. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time a villager has informed me of a lost item before I’ve found it myself. The book wasn’t far away, so I quickly returned it to Louie. He gave me some rimmed glasses to thank me.

What’s with the jocks losing so many items lately though?

Today, Saharah was in town. I made some purchases and ended up with a snowflake rug, blue dotted rug, flowing-river flooring, and blackboard wall. The snowflake rug is the only one I kept (in storage). But I noticed that picking up a rug sure stirs up a lot of dust!

I posted a New Horizons Q & A video today, so check it out if you’d like. I answer about 50 questions about the game, features, villagers, my play style, and more.

There won’t be a Friday Night Forest this week, because I’m going to be playing some Super Mario 3D All-Stars. 😛 However, I plan on opening up on Saturday night instead, probably at the same time.

Gullivarrr was in town today, washed up on the beach and ranting about raisins in cookies.

I went diving for his communicator and returned it to him. He’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

In the southeast part of town, I took this picture of my new Halloween-themed area. It’s a graveyard, with six gravestones, black and orange flowers, a skeleton, a scarecrow, a throwback skull radio playing K.K. Dirge, and an ominous message that also appears on the map.

I may still make some changes to this area, but I went ahead and updated my dream. So you can check it out for yourself, if you’d like. Just go to dream address 6717-1633-3682.

Tybalt asked me for a new greeting, so I told him to say “Hi other Jeff.” 😛

When I visited Agent S, she told me she brought home her catfish. Was she talking about Rizzo? 😉

Up on Eagle Mountain, I was thrilled to run into Celeste!

I was even more excited when she gave me a DIY recipe for an asteroid! That was one of the items that I most wanted from her! 😀

In Apple’s house, I noticed that her hamster cage was replaced with a skull! Does that mean her hamster died? Oh no! 🐹💀

Nook’s Cranny had another pinball machine for sale today (a blue, pirate-themed one). So I bought it and put it in the amusement park. This was after I updated my dream, though.

Just FYI: If you leave a comment on this blog, the website and e-mail are optional. Please don’t put JVGS for the site, just leave it blank if you don’t have your own site you want to link. I’ve just been seeing it a lot lately and I don’t want people to think that’s necessary.

See you all next time! 🙂

Today, Lopez was crafting in his house again. That makes four days in a row! Today’s recipe was an ironwood cart, which was another one I didn’t need. 😛

There was a camper at the campsite, so I went inside the tent to see who it was. Unfortunately, it was Ursala! One of my biggest enemies from my GameCube town! No thanks!

I found a lost item on the ground near town hall. When I investigated it, the clue said that it was an exercise book. So I was pretty sure it belonged to a jock, which could be Louie or Tybalt. But since the last one belonged to Louie, I decided to ask Tybalt about this one. And sure enough, it was his workout journal.

As a reward, he gave me a flashy hairpin.

Flick was in town, so I got some bugs out of storage to sell him. But I only had six bugs, although most of them were goliath beetles. He gave me 63,000 bells for them all.

But Flick wasn’t the only animal in town that wanted bugs; Rizzo asked me for a bell cricket. Since it’s a fairly common bug, I agreed to help him out. It ended up taking me a bit longer than I expected (since I kept finding regular crickets instead of bell crickets), but it didn’t take too awful long. Rizzo was happy to have his bug.

My reward was a business suitcoat.

After that, I thought I was done playing for the night. But later on, I realized I didn’t give out any gifts today. So I started the game back up and crafted a kettlebell for Tybalt. I gave it to him, and he loved it…a lot. I was shocked when I saw my reward: his photo!!

I was not expecting to get his photo this soon! He hasn’t even lived in town for two months yet! And I only recently started giving him gifts! So it’s mind-boggling that he gave me his photo before Hornsby, Agent S, or even Midge. Maybe he just loves it when I speak French to him. 😉 But I’ll take it! I proudly displayed it in my bedroom.

His favorite quote is “There’s no excuse for half-baked potatoes.”

I posted my latest video today, Dream Island Hopping #2. I hope you’ll give it a watch, and visit the dream islands for yourself if they interest you. 🙂

See you tomorrow!
