Month: November 2019

Knox’s house is now fully unpacked, and I got to see what it looks like for the first time tonight. It’s very… um… medieval. With a bit of an old west feel too, I wagon reckon.

When I spoke with Kitty, I got excited for a moment. I thought she was going to tell me she was moving…but she just wanted a new catchphrase.

Speaking of false hope, Tiffany gave me some of that too.

But she was just telling me she needed to redecorate her house. Bummer.

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed K.K. Folk for me, which may not be my favorite, but it is better than the title suggests. I particularly like the double-howl parts. 😛

And tonight marks exactly 2,000 days since my last night of Wi-Fi online play in Animal Crossing: City Folk. That’s when Nintendo pulled the plug on online play for Wii and original DS games.* That final night was a fun, sad, bittersweet good time. If you’d like, check out that night’s blog entry to relive the fun.

*Yes, I know there are unofficial methods to play those games online now, but I don’t use them, nor do any of my old ACCF friends, as far as I know.

Also, I’ve posted my latest episode of Mario Plays ACCF. This time, Mario participates in Bob’s game show, Purrl asks Mario to give a message to Luigi, and Luigi has a strong reaction to Mushroom’s newest villager. Check it out!

Have a great night, and Never Stop Crossing!

On Monday, I found a new villager house in town. A chicken named Knox was inside. He wears a gold helmet, and the gold is likely a reference to Fort Knox (which is known for storing much of the United States’ gold reserves).

But the more interesting thing is that I already have Sterling in my town, who also wears a knight’s helmet (but his is silver). What’s with all the helmets? Is the sky falling, and I don’t know it yet?

I played again tonight, and the arrival of November brings mushrooms. The very first one I picked up ended up being a piece of mush furniture…an end table, to be exact.

Kitty was sick, so I gave her some medicine that I already had in my pockets. It may have been expired, but it’s for Kitty, so who cares? 😛

Of the four villagers who live in the northeast corner of town, three of them were home tonight. And all three of them asked me for either a bug or a fish. Mitzi asked me for a pill bug, Puck wanted a rainbow trout, and Roald demanded a flea.

A pill bug is the easiest of those to catch, so I quickly captured one for Mitzi. She rewarded me with 532 bells.

I then went fishing in the river for a rainbow trout. But after fishing for about 25 minutes without a single rainbow trout, I gave up my search. As for the flea, that’s not something you can really search for. I listened when I walked by each villager I saw outside, but I didn’t encounter any of those either. Sorry, penguins.

I did not participate in the Halloween festivities in any Animal Crossing game this year, but I did post a Halloween poem on Youtube. It involves Animal Crossing characters, but it takes place in Luigi’s Mansion. Check it out if you’d like!

And speaking of Luigi’s Mansion, I just posted my first impressions of Luigi’s Mansion 3 on my gaming blog here.

I hope you all had a great Halloween! I’ll see you all next time. 🙂 Never Stop Crossing!
