Since it’s so easy to take pictures in the new Animal Crossing, and they’re already compressed to a reasonable size and easy to transfer to computer, I’ve been taking a lot! You can browse big photos here, but I thought I’d also post a smaller selection.
I’ll start with this one, which is just a photo of sunset:

And then there are a lot more after the cut. They are photos of visiting people’s towns, and various things that happened recently. Read more…
Last night, when I visited someone’s Animal Crossing town for the second time, they let me know that their animals had been talking about me. Apparently they think I’m stingy! Read more…
Behind the cut is some discussion on what I think of the magic of Animal Crossing. Read more…
So, I’d entered a contest to win an extra Wii, and a few extra Animal Crossings with Wii Speaks. I thought it would be fun to give the prize to friends. I didn’t win, but I also didn’t put that much effort into my entry, so it’s fine. I thought I’d post the photo here:

That’s Carue as Tom Nook! It was difficult to get an apron on him. I had to be extra nice to him for several days first.
I thought about also dressing Bumpy up as that cat on the loading screen, but I don’t think she’d tolerate that at all!
Anyway, at least it turned out as a nice photo!
I saw this in an interview on the new Animal Crossing:
Kyogoku:
When an animal moves away from the town, a rectangular patch remains in the place where their house used to stand. When you see that and realize that this animal has moved away, it really makes you feel sad!
Moro:
But of course, little by little, the grass will grow back, and as the traces of where the animal’s house used to stand disappear, your memories of that animal will also fade.
I really like that.
However similar to other opinions, I felt like I should voice mine somehow before I continue enjoying this game, so there’s a full commentary behind the cut. But, in short, for new players who like open, non-competitive play, this is a great game; but for people who played an earlier version already, beware that it’s almost exactly the same as the previous two.

So, I’ve uploaded more photos from Animal Crossing: City Folk. It’s fun! But, not nearly as much fun as the last two were, simply because I’m too familiar with this already. Still, here are some photo highlights: Read more…
Michael sent me this screenshot from Northrend, and now I really, really, really want to go there:

That is so great. Both turtles are cute, and a walrus is sitting on the turtle, and the walrus has a cool mustache. I love it.
So, I’m Leigh in Moontown. And I have oranges.
I’ll post a review later on, after I’ve had a chance to play for a few more days.
Edit: here are some pictures, too. Read more…
So, today I got to try out World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. My opinion is after the cut. Read more…
