The Latest Gossip

Last night, I started up the game and left it sitting briefly. I was checking something before I picked up the controller. But the game quickly captured my attention when I heard a UFO flying overhead! I grabbed the controller and chased it down, but it was too late to get my slingshot out. One of these years, I’ll shoot it down again. 😛

You know what’s weird, though? I get occasional UFO sightings, but I can’t even remember the last time I saw a balloon present in this game! In fact, it’s been almost three years since I’ve mentioned a balloon present in the blog! And if I shot one down, I almost surely would have mentioned it.

I played again today, and Big Top was talking about how Benedict and Antonio are such close friends. He said that they were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday. But that wasn’t true at all! I even checked my recorded footage from yesterday, and they were wearing completely different outfits. 😛

Big Top: They were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday!

He said it was lame of them. It sounds like Big Top is just jealous of their friendship.

Big Top: It was sooooooo, well, lame, actually!

Katrina was in town, so I entered her tent to get my fortune told. She dealt the “midnight” card and then started talking about a fox with a knack for art. I started seeing Redd when I realized I paid 100 bells for this nonsense. 😉 As far as I could tell, her fortune didn’t mean a thing. She’s a con artist just like Crazy Redd. 😛

Today’s gossip came from Bunnie. She said that Big Top called Margie by his ex’s name, and they’ve been fighting ever since.

Bunnie: So the whole fight started when Big Top called Margie...

Bunnie: his ex's name by accident, tootie!!!

My next Wild World video episode will be up in the next few days, so keep an eye out for it!

  1. Balloon presents only appear from 10am to 4pm in Wild World. If you always play at night, that explains why you’re not seeing them.

    I think the UFO always appears at the first xx.x2 or xx.x7 after starting the game (as long as you’re outside) on a day when it’s scheduled to appear, but I can’t be 100% sure about that. There also has to be no other visitors present.

    1. Yeah, that would explain it! It’s rare for me to play before 4pm.

      It was 8:57 when it appeared, so that makes sense. I should make it part of my routine to be ready for it! I’m going to try to do that; I’m writing myself a note right now. 😂 Thanks!
