So I get home from work today, collapse on the bed and then realised my Animal Crossing town needed to be tended to. I lurch up and turn on the DS, after a bit of a wander I come across Sahara the 'exotic' carpet salesman. It's the first time I've come across him and he's seemingly a bit of a dippy bastard, he's lost his map of the town meaning he can't deliver any of his goods. Being the ever helpfull soul I am, I offer my assistance in delivering his rugs and shit.

First customer was a breeze, Tom Nook, a few seconds travel and the deed was done. So one down and back to Sahara for the next, Mabel, MABEL?! Mabel doesn't live in my town anymore, take your stupid rug back! Hang on he's just repeating who I should be giving the rug to! I can't give him the rug back?! That's OK... I'll just sell it, or drop it in the recycling, or on the floor, or ANYTHING to get it out of my inventory. Nope. I could only see one way out of this, I'd have to turn off the DS before saving...

I'll have to turn it on tomorrow and HE is going to be there isn't he? Please tell me the onslaught of whinging doesn't go on for too long.

Actually I think I picked up my pilots hat from there. I know I'll lose respect if I go around in the same gear for too long and the last thing I want to do is hurt my chances with Monique. I do look shit hot in it though.

I thought Sahara was a chick? It's hard to tell in Animal Crossing sometimes. I thought Pelly was a boy until one of the animals mentioned the two girls who work in the town hall. Two girls?? Ooooohhh!

.::: There might have been some truth to that notion if you had said Phyllis (who is haunted by the 'odd' rumour), but Pelly!?

Well, with a name like Phyllis it's obvious she's a cranky old bird. But Pelly? I couldn't figure it out. I suppose the blusher on the cheeks kind of gives it away :( but at least with the residents it's easy. Blue for boy and pink for girl when they talk.

.::: Phyllis is rumoured to not be a girl-pelican though...

Anyway, I now officially have too many fruit-trees. I decided yesterday to do a little harvesting and it cost me one and a half hours to clean every tree... Almost 200,000 bells though.

Insect catches: common butterfly, yellow butterfly and honeybee.

I'm new to Animal Crossing... how are you all getting so many bells. I only seem to get them from picking oranges and shells. I've tried fishing... but I always end up taking them to the museum. Also I found a fossil... will new ones appear everyday?

I guess I should really get broadband and share Jivetown with you all.

The main routes to belldom are found in fishing and then playing the turnip game. However, without going online you'll find it much harder to make bellions.

.::: Hometown fruit isn't worth much, you need 'foreign fruit'. So if you have oranges in your town, you need apples, pears and such to plant some trees. The fruit from those trees is worth much more. Also Sunday morning you can find Sow Joan if you're in for red (demanding but a guaranteed 15,000 bells by Saturday) or white turnips (earnings can fluctuate wildly and not advised if you don't have online access).

Check the AC folder for more tips.

Worry ye not young Stu, just bumble along and pick stuff up as you go.

You are getting yourself online, yes? Because if I don't see some Owl and Pussycat shirts appearing in people's tailor shops, I'm going to net you in the face.

I've not played AC in ages but went back to it last weekend. Finally I'm done killing cocroaches in my house and removing weed all over the town but here's my question. How do i get the chance to make my own paths? the only things I can add my designs to at the moment is shirts and umbrellas I think, all the other bits are faded. I so want to lay down a path/road in my town.

Cheers.

Edit: As I side note I'm regretting assigning "Cockknobs" and "sucka" as catchphrases.

Will I have opportunit to change these?

.::: Depends on your villagers really. Just be sure to talk to them whenever they go surprised and walk towards you, that's usually when they want somehting, including new catchphrases.

I'm not normally one for flying off the handle at poor reviews, but this takes the biscuit:

The Times' Animal Crossing Wild World review

The Times March 18, 2006

Animal Crossing: Wild World

Nintendo/DS (£29.99)

3 Stars (out of 5)

In this minor gem of a game players find themselves inhabiting a friendly animal kingdom. By finding work, initially as a shop assistant in one of the local stores, the tiny humans get to furnish their homes with life’s little luxuries, while slowly paying off their mortgages. It may sound mundane, but there are enough winning touches to make the game very playable in short bursts.

Ironically, it is the sort of chores that are often a bore in real life, such as cleaning the home, tending to the garden or buying furniture, that soon become highlights of the day in the Animal Crossing world. In many ways this is a simplified Sims for younger players, set in a world inhabited by wacky animals.

The original Animal Crossing appeared little more than two years ago on the GameCube and was different enough to acquire a loyal following. There are few surprises in this DS translation, though the game’s wi-fi abilities open up some limited multiplayer options.

Incidentally they also reviewed Fifa Street today which got... 3 stars!

I'm going to regret this, but here goes:

"minor gem" and "very playable in short bursts" seems to be damning with faint praise to me.

"the game’s wi-fi abilities open up some limited multiplayer options" is the same, as well as being just plain wrong. Our own Animal Crossing online folder is proof that the only limit on the multiplayer options is our own (or more specifically, Graham_S's) imagination.

Then there's the score. Again, I don't normally get hung up on review scores, but 3 out of 5 seems harsh, especially when it appears next to a Fifa Street review with the same score.

I'm being oversensitive I know, and I've been reading the Times long enough to know that their games reviews are consistently terrible. I just read it in the paper and felt compelled to share it here.

If I didn't have a £20 voucher saved from christmas, I would have to wait after Easter to get Animal Crossing DS thanks to me only having £30 left in my overdraft of my student loan. Luckily my parents are coming to the rscue and Im sure I can spare £10 on it with my voucher.

Shame I dont have broadband though, must find somewhere to play.
