Animal Crossing: New Leaf

:affraid:



:affraid:

Bah, with Town Hall being shut today I echo Balladeer's comments.

Isabelle's getting paid to essentially hover around a cardboard cutout stand. Lovely.

Yeah when I first saw my clown I was :affraid: then   and finally 

I was like that yesterday when I found out it was the solstice and was a bit annoyed as I want a new bridge now.

Wonder since it is midnight now if the day is over and I can start..

I just had an animal ask to swap my toilet for their gold throne worth 200,000 bells... DEAL!

Also, had my first ACNL related spotpass today, and bought some good stuff from her catalog.

To be fair, we don't actually pay her.  Or maybe that's where all the taxes I'm not getting go...

We did give her that shell shouldn't that be enough?

Yeah! In! Played 25 minutes, have 1200 bells, a shovel, a fishing rod, a chair and a Nintendo baseball cap. Bawss.

My day today was made when I discovered the new shop on Main Street.

Axe GET!

My day was doing the bug catching contest a few times to get the 40 medals needed so I can have my own wetsuit.

And 2 of my townsfolk don't look happy for some reason

You closed the gate before I could come back with more fruit though Rum 

Sorry! I had to go to the dentist. Real life interrupting my virtual.

Until earlier I wasn't aware that you can take the fruit from the trees in the minigames with you back home from the island. That might be useful to a few of your reading - I've managed to get all sorts of exotic fruit without having to raid Plopton.

Shame they don't have flowers around...

What an excellent tip. I'll just fleeced a tour island of all it's rare flowers and exotic fruits!

Something I've found is that, floating presents disappear when you run back inside your house to get a catapult. Therefore I've hidden a couple of catapults around my town for ease access.

You can also keep up to ten items stored in letters!  I got that tip from CVG.  (Article if anyone's interested: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/414954/features/animal-crossing-new-leaf-guide-30-tips-for-becoming-the-happiest-mayor/. Has several other good tips too.)

Also, how d'you get a slingshot? It's the only tool I still haven't seen for sale. I've got basic Nookstore and Leif's.

I believe I bought them from a T&T in somebody else's town.

Also, today I downloaded the Racoon Wallclock seen here...

At a Cafe Nero using their Cloud wifi and the Nintendo Zone.  

I think from memory after 10 days or 15 sales or even spending 120.000 bells, the basic Nooks store will upgrade to T&T.

And just paid off my third home loan

This morning I bought a flat screen TV and paid off my first loan. Which of course means I can't fit the TV in my house! Upgrade time?

It's always upgrade time, and it's a win-win because you can pay it back at your leisure.

How are you enjoying the game, Zero?

Anyone got any furniture they don't want?

And apparently you can only hold 100,000 bells in your wallet and so I've had to deposit a whole lot in the ATM.

So essentially you swapped your throne for their throne?

They do, I think it was the balloon one that featured a fair few flowers.

In animal resident of my town has just told me a rumour that the more you ACNL streepass, the more bells Re-Tail will buy your stuff!? I hope this true?

Kick's Shoe shoe is opening tomorrow and Nook's T&T on Tuesday. Also, I'm saving for the Dream Suite.

Indeed! I managed to sneak mangos and durians back to my village. And has anyone bought an exotic plant from Grammy? There was a hibiscus available for me the other day.

Very well! I've already said I'm concerned it'll eat into my gaming time but then I thought it's just like a Pokémon or Layton game - I'll get obsessed for a while and then be released from its clutches. Had Balla and smurfy over for dinner... and when a third person tried to join in, an error occurred. 

Still, fun!

I've paid off my third loan, expanded my house with an upstairs & basement and built a second bridge for my town.

Now to get this Charlise to move out!
