The End of Wi-Fi

Tonight I changed my blue winter path back to a green brick path.

My green brick path.I was going to get my hair dyed green to turn back into Mohawk McClover, but Shampoodle was already closed. I’ll do it soon, though.

After I returned from the city, Goose told me that Pompom recently became a vegetarian. I could see how the animals might feel a bit threatened by having neighbors that eat meat.

Goose: Oh, man...by the way, Pompom became a vegetarian recently.Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. But Melba was the only critter that had any wallpaper to give me.

Over by town hall, Ribbot and Nate were playing a detective game. Ribbot was questioning the witness Nate, and Nate ratted me out! Ribbot then informed him that I was standing right next to him and he freaked out. I wonder if I can talk Pompom into eating a nice bear steak…

Nate, shocked: Eagle eye?!I got a surprise when I went into Avery’s house. He has packed up his belongings and he’s ready to move out.

Avery: Sudden, I know, but these big land deals... I do worry that there might be nasty rumors after I go, though.Avery has been in town a long time. It seems like all of my long-time residents are moving out.

As you may have heard, Nintendo is ending online play for all Wii and DS games as of May 20th. This means you have less than three months to play ACCF, Mario Kart Wii, Animal Crossing: Wild World, and any other Wii or DS games online. I’m going to open up my ACCF gate a few more times before then, namely the first Friday of each month at 10pm EST (starting next Friday). So if you’re on my roster, feel free to stop by.

I know my Wi-Fi Moments videos on Youtube have been pretty popular, and sadly that series will be coming to an end in the next few months. I will try to make at least two more episodes with the upcoming footage I record (plus some leftover clips I haven’t used yet).

The good news is that once Nintendo makes a Wii U version of Animal Crossing, I will start a new Wi-Fi Moments series for that game. Of course we have no idea when that will be, but at least Wi-Fi Moments isn’t gone forever.

No More Snow!

Yesterday, there was a message posted on the bulletin board notifying everyone of Festivale coming up on March 3rd. Festivale is my least favorite of the major holidays in the game, so I’m not exactly excited for the occasion.

~Festivale Notice~ Festivale is March 3rd! Get ready to CELEBRATE next week!But today is a special occasion in itself. The snow of winter has now melted away and grass has returned! Welcome back, spring!

Green grass has returned!There was also a meteor shower tonight, so I stopped on my bridge to watch several shooting stars go by.

A shooting star flies by overhead. The moon and a ladybug constellation are also visible.And near the base of the waterfall, Octavian asked me to make a delivery to Goose. So I took the present (aloe) to Goose, and then returned to Octavian. He was still in the same area where I left him, so he was easy to find. He thanked me for making the delivery and rewarded me with a beach table.

Octavian: Thanks, pal. I guess I owe you one.

Flea Market

Sunday marks the beginning of a new week of emotions at the theater in the city. This week, the options were joy, disbelief, disappointment, and realization.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today? Joy, Disbelief, Disappointment, Realization, Never mind.Agreement and outrage are the two emotions I had been hoping for. For years. Want to know why? As you may know, I’ve made over 100 ACCF videos on Youtube. And in 2009, I planned to make a video showing every emotion in the game. Even though there was one video online at the time that showed all the emotions, it was hacked, low-quality, and the emotions all ran together; it was difficult to tell which emotion was which. Mine was going to be all legit, and each emotion would be clearly marked.

There are 29 emotions in the game, and the selection available at the theater changes each Sunday. The problem is that six of those emotions are only available from Frillard. And they are rare. Very rare. Still, I thought I could get the video done in a year or two. But now it’s been nearly five years, and two of the emotions have still eluded me. So I’ve decided to finally, officially give up the plan for the video. The videos were all recorded in my one empty house, which Megan once claimed for her own. 😛 But the video wouldn’t be nearly as helpful in 2014 as it would have been in 2009 anyway.

Anyway, today was Flea Market day. However, Elmer refused to sell me his bagworm. Apparently bagworms are precious, expensive gifts that must be handed down from generation to generation and must never be sold.

Elmer: So, my bagworm's caught your eye? Sorry, but it's not for sale...Back outside, Octavian was in a good mood. He gave me eight thumbs up.

Octavian: Eight thumbs up!I went in my house and Lily soon barged in.

Lily: Hiya, shorty! It's me, Lily!But as soon as I got up to talk to her, she suddenly had to leave! I guess she wasn’t interested in my junk. But soon after Lily left, Pate came in to look around too!

Pate: Tee hee! You're acting like some proper shop clerk, shorty! I should call you Nook!
HOW DARE YOU.

Pate walked around, but I couldn’t get her to buy anything. I couldn’t get her to leave, either. At least not until I left the house myself. Annoying duck. See you all next time.
