   In Which Many Things Are Resolved. Well, after buying loads of turnips on Sunday for 94 bells a go, I anxiously checked out Nook the Crook’s prices this morning. 74 bells! RUBBISH! So, I checked back in after lunch – 72 bells! RUBBISHEST! So, instead of making vast quantities of bells on the Stalk

And so it begins all over again. The only thing that prevented the original GameCube Animal Crossing obsession from continuing was that it was such a hassle getting time on the telly, doing the whole freeloader swappy thing, switching memory cards and so on. On the DS, you switch it on and it’s all there.

Chapter Two complet0red. The beginning of Chapter Three gives me the heebie jeebies and, as there’s a lot going on, the framerate is giving me some problems. I shouldn’t really complain – I’m running it on a Celeron 1.3 laptop with ATI X300 Mobility graphics card, so 1280x800x32 16:9 aspect is probably expecting a bit

I’ve been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft’s eerie tales since I was fourteen years old. His particular brand of creepiness appeals to me, for some reason. His fiction generally centers on the concept that man is just a very small part of the universe and there are things out there which are simply to hideous/vast/old/evil

Ok, on the top of the tower lives a worm. The worm lives on a platform floating in the air with a hole in the middle. This worm has one weakness – the four pixel dot at the end of its tail. If you’re fortunate enough to hit it, it runs about even faster. Six

Well, there’s no doubt about it – a ‘New Generation’ of consoles is being forced upon us, the gaming public, whether we think there’s life left in the current generation or not. Out of the current generation, despite having owned all consoles, the only ones I currently own are the GameCube, Nintendo DS, and numerous

No way! I discovered a cool thing that I never noticed before! On the title page, if you press R you get a music player so you can listen to all the music that’s been unlocked during gameplay (like it does in Fire Emblem). Given that the music is magnificent, this is a Good Thing(tm).

Gah – can’t remember. Let’s see – Flippers GET! Butterfly net GET! Magic Mirror GET! Magic Boomerang GET! I also managed to teleport to dark Hyrule, but unfortunately I didn’t have a moonstone of some kind so I turned into a giant bunny. Which was fun in a giant bunny kind of way. And it

Update: Power Gloves GET! Power Pendant GET! Desert Temple and Desert Palace THWARTED! Or something. I like these little mini-dungeons – it’s a good way to get your started in what’s essentially a gargantuan game. It’s still fiendishly difficult, though, and I seem to die a little too frequently.
