Animal Crossing: City Folk
Wii Love You
For the past few days, I’ve been feeling an urge to get back and play Wii Fit. It’s been awhile and I’m normally a really lazy person so I don’t know why I felt like sweating, being sore, and making an ass out of myself. I was going to play it back on Tuesday, but Chris came home from work early so I didn’t bother with it. Today, however, was a different story. As the...[Read More]
I’ve got a lovely bunch of turnips
While that doesn’t quite have the ring of “coconuts”, it’s fairly relevant to Lindsey and me, as well as others like us. By “like us”, I mean Animal Crossing fiends. Lindsey and I bought white turnips (kind of a stock market thing, in the game) at 91 each, which is a fairly cheap price. Lindsey bought $80,000 worth, and I bought $320,000 worth. Today, we found...[Read More]
The Married Gamers
I feel so naughty because I didn’t write this blog sooner, but better late than never! Last Sunday, Chris and Kelly of The Married Gamers came over to our apartment for lunch and to record a podcast. We had a lot of fun. It was really similar to what we do on our MehCasts but with better equipment lol! Like we’ve said before on our show, we have very low production quality but we are o...[Read More]
The Twitter Gestapo!
Yesterday, while playing Animal Crossing, Chris and I decided to check out the Married Gamers (Chris and Kelly) live podcast on Ustream. It was really entertaining and we found ourselves laughing a lot. Towards the end of their podcast they mentioned that they were going to get some lunch at Chick-Fil-A. Chris was in the kitchen getting ready to make lunch so I asked him if he would want to go and...[Read More]
California Love
Yesterday was a pretty great day. It started off getting some local love from @mikeoz on Twitter. He works for the local newspaper, The Fresno Bee, and has written some really great articles. When I take the time to actually read the paper I always make sure to check out what he has to say. For the Fresno Bee employees there is a website called FresnoBeeHive where they add additional content that ...[Read More]
Wii Week Wrap-up
Well, we started the week without really meaning to talk about the Wii every day, but it happened, so we decided to call it our Wii Week. It was an interesting week filled with highs and lows. On the one hand, we paid off a few house expansions in Animal Crossing, and I fucking RULE at Mario Kart, but on the other hand, Francine is a dirty bitch who robbed me blind. I really fucking hate Francin...[Read More]
Wii are Angry
Wednesday night, I went on a fishing bonanza, filling my Animal Crossing house with fish to sell the next day in one big selling run. Last night, a little while after I got home, I made my sales, getting myself up to over 85,000 bells (Animal Crossing currency), a hefty sum indeed. I continued fishing, wanting to break the 100,000 mark, when I came across one of my town’s residents. Franc...[Read More]
A Wii Bit of Devastation
Our new Wii does not come without consequences. Since we purchased our Wii, our apartment has gone to hell. We moved our coffee table to place the Wii Fit Balance Board down. We have dishes from LAST THURSDAY still sitting in the sink (I finally washed some yesterday and set some others in hot water to soak). We have empty snack bags (and some not so empty snack bags) littering the floor aroun...[Read More]
Wii Week Continues
Well, since Monday was heavily focused on the Wii, and Tuesday documented a Wii-related experience, I figured we might as well make it Wii Week and run three more days of Wii blog posts. I bet you’re all excited about that! Lindsey and I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk since we got it. It is the most played game we own now. When we got it, I figured that would be her...[Read More]
Weekend with the Wii
On Friday the 13th, Lindsey and I became the proud new owners of a Nintendo Wii system, along with Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing: City Folk (with Wii Speak), and some accessories. Needless to say, our weekend was very productive. Very productive. We have both been playing mostly Animal Crossing. She has played this game in depth on multiple sy...[Read More]
Valentine’s Day
Today was Valentine’s Day. It was the second Valentine’s Day that Lindsey and I have had, and the first since we moved in together and since we became engaged. The first thing we did was get breakfast. Sorry, let me correct that. The first thing I did was get breakfast. The first thing Lindsey did was play Animal Crossing: City Folk on our new Wii. After eating breakfast, we cont...[Read More]
