I played one day last week, and Biskit informed me that he painted my roof!

He said he’s really good at painting, and he can paint just about anything. Even flowers, apparently.

But when I got back home, I was not happy with the work that he did. He painted my roof pink! Ugh.

Maybe he knew he was a bad dog, because when I played yesterday, I saw that he split town. He said he was turning over a new leaf in his goodbye letter.

I met his replacement, Weber the duck. And guess what? Weber also painted my roof!

He painted it green, which isn’t the best roof color either, but at least it’s not pink any more.

Today, Puck was talking about weather forecasts. In particular, he was wondering if they were just lucky guesses or if they actually could predict the weather somehow. 😛

Tom told me that I looked strapped for cash, “as always.” So he offered to buy my mega dekkoid for 3,000 bells! Even though I don’t really need the bells, I’m not stupid! I gladly sold him the gyroid.

Hank told me that he thinks it will start snowing soon. True enough. But he assured me that if I don’t like the snow, he will melt it with his body heat after a mad workout. Haha, what a guy. 😛

Today is Officer’s Day in Animal Crossing, which is better known as Veterans Day in the United States, and Remembrance Day in many other countries. Tortimer was standing near the wishing well, and he told me that he built the police station and opened it on Officer’s Day!

He said it was the proudest moment of his career.

After that, I mailed away a few fossils to be identified, did some fishing in the river, and then eventually returned home. Have a great day, everyone! And Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Late last month, Prince moved out and Dozer moved in. September 29th was the 17th anniversary of my town Forest, so I posted a special video town tour. I show you around Forest, talk to most of my villagers, and I also overlay clips of some memorable moments from previous years. If you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out.

I played again today, and I got Dozer’s goodbye letter in the mail.

At Nookington’s, I couldn’t resist buying myself a toilet.

I met my newest neighbor, and he’s a dog-gone good fit for Halloween: It’s Biskit, the dog without eyes! He warned me to make sure I have plenty of candy on the 31st.

Over by the wishing well, Baabara and Kody apparently had a fight…and it left Kody feeling depressed. I spoke with Baabara, and she was talking about keeping abreast of all the latest gossip. Kody must not have liked the fact that I was talking to Baabara, because he walked over and gave me this look.

I picked all the weeds I could find, and I restored Forest to perfect town status.

A few days ago, I posted a video that ranks my villagers in all of my Animal Crossing towns. That includes all three of my GameCube towns, two City Folk towns, and also the Forests in Wild World and New Leaf. If you’re curious to see how I rank them all, here is the video:

For GameCube Forest, it was based on the residents of my previous blog entry. So it listed Prince instead of Dozer, but that’s irrelevant now anyway since they’re both gone. If you’re curious, I would rank Biskit 7th…between Kody and Genji. Despite his somewhat-freaky eyes, I do like Biskit. Here is my current list.

See you next time. Have a happy Halloween!

Update: Here’s an Animal Crossing Halloween poem for you! It features Animal Crossing characters, but it takes place in Luigi’s Mansion. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂

Doc sent me a goodbye letter in the mail today. The Doc is officially out.

Near Nookington’s, I met Doc’s replacement: Prince the frog has danced into town. Unlike frogs in New Leaf, Prince here is not a fan of rain (purple or otherwise). He’s holding a leaf umbrella here, in case it’s hard to tell since it’s cutting through the sign on his house.

When I spoke with Belle, she asked if I wanted to know a way to make money with the gyroid outside my house. I wasn’t interested, so I told her no. So she called me a naive bumpkin.

Gulliver was passed out on the shore, so I woke him up and “saved his life.” After he blamed his fall from the ship on pirates and sharks, he gave me a Tokyo Tower model.

I spoke with Ursala, and she was telling me how she loves the sounds of autumn, and September in particular.

After I spoke with everyone, and pulled all the weeds I saw, I got ready for some early September fishing. There are no sea bass out, although they will start returning in a couple days. And the fact that it was raining today made it even better, because coelacanths will join red snappers and barred knifejaws as the only fish in the ocean (outside of the acre with the mouth of the river). So I emptied my pockets and my wallet and got started.

My first batch of 15 fish included 4 coelacanths, so I knew it was going to be a good fishing haul. These 15 fish sold for 103,000 bells. Not bad for seven minutes of fishing, hm?

I spoke with Ursala again later, and she was as polite as ever.

Unfortunately, my coelacanth rate slowed down a bit, and I started catching some garbage items as well. But I still did very well on the night. In one hour of fishing, I caught 13 coelacanths and I earned a half million bells…505,000, to be exact.

And it could have been better, because seven coelacanths got away from me. Oops. But still, I took my money bags to the post office and deposited it into my account. That kicked my balance over the 19 million bell mark.

That’s what I call a successful evening. This is the best time of year in the GameCube game! Have a great day, and I’ll see you next time!
