I've only been playing for about a day, but I can already tell it's a pretty Wild World. My Wi-fi access is limited, but here's my code. Share yours!

I mail-ordered a US copy yesterday, but I have no idea if it'll get here before Christmas.

ApM · Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:27 pm Post subject:

I just bought this for my wife yesterday for The Month of Christmas. (Which is a glorious tradition, I must say.)

Needless to say, I haven't had the opportunity to touch it yet.

so i was with my mother earlier, and the subject of animal crossing came up. and i said that matt was wearing a ninja hood, and wes offered me oranges and maybe peaches (and even coconuts if all goes well), but i don't have the game yet and i can't hang out and i'm sad. so my mother sighed, got up, and walked over to a pile of packages, and picked up an envelope and tossed it to me.

animal crossing was inside. apparently she was planning on giving it to me as a gift, but she couldn't bear the thought of me being away from my gamer's quarter buddies!

i still don't have a wi-fi connector, though. feh.

i have started the game. i live in the town of now here (on the gamecube version i lived in here). there's a punk rock mouse living in my town, and an adorable penguin, and a purple duck. i have a really hard time finding them when they're wandering around.

also, i keep accidentally picking up flowers as i walk. which is strange.

i'd have played for longer than i did, but it's late and the tailors are closed. and designing clothes is my favorite part of the game. i think tomorrow i might transcribe some from my gamecube game, just to get me started. though i'm a little afraid of turning it on after all this time.

I got the game recently as well!

I'm having trouble bringing it online though. I blame my weak internet router.

Also, is it just me or does anyone else have a town full of belligerent animal assholes?

I have yet to get a copy for myself, but I probably will for Christmas. I can't find myself playing it for too long though; I didn't play the GC version for more than a few months.

Man, that's nice. I was hoping for you to pop on in while ApM was still in town. I ended up getting sleepy around 1am though.

just so y'all know, my wifi connector is in the mail.

(none of the stores in the area had any left. none.)

Are you referring to Animal Crossing or to the wi-fi connector? I was under the impression that the wi-fi connector was only available direct from Nintendo.com (just like Electroplankton will be)

so this afternoon i gathered a bunch of apples, sold them, and used the proceeds to rent out the able sisters' equipment for a while. i copied over my two favorite designs - a a set of overalls and a gothy top and skirt combo - and then i designed an original hat. it's a pointed hat with gameboy-colored stripes that swirl to the tip. i made a few other...accquisitions too. and i designed a new flag.

the mayor gave me a free fishing pole because it was the fishing tourney today, and that's more than giuliani or bloomberg have ever done for me.

Waking up to watch a virtual sunset, huh. You should watch a real sunset at the same time. I mean, as long as you don't live in a world of perpetual darkness and all.

I would love to join you all in a massive Animal Crossing rockfest, but unfortunately the government wants all my money so it'll have to wait.

so there's a bunny living in my town now. he calls me "otaku". and he doesn't seem to have unpacked his stuff yet.

also, my mouse neighbor keeps getting unsettling notes from a "secret admirer".

Is that a gauntlet exit block?

I have no idea what the second one is, though. too blurry.

I bought a copy for myself and one for my girlfriend. I'm not allowing myself to play until she unwraps hers.

This puppy's totally sold out and amazon is telling me it won't ship till january. Son of a bitch!

Best Buy was sold out on Sunday when I went. I can only assume that Targets and Walmarts are fully stocked though.

Interestingly when in line to check out of Best Buy there were close to 20 people in line. 3 of them had Red DS (Mario Kart version) on them. I am really supprised at the DS, and I don't think this will stop anytime soon.

How are you doing those guardians? I'm not sure about the customization options, but I didn't think they extended past clothes and hats. Or do they just appear as rectangles with the pattern when you drop them on the floor?

I may get this in the distant future. I rented the GC once and I enjoyed it but I quickly realized it's not a game to rent: it's something best enjoyed in small intervals over a long period of time. The multiplayer aspect seems cute.
