Back to Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness for a moment…
I finally have all areas of the island unlocked for everyone to discover, though I can’t pick anything in the jungle due to it currently being winter in my game. This also makes for limited mining opportunities, since grass (the most plentiful health recovery item) is unavailable at this time of year. The good news is that I can fish to my heart’s content, which means that I can easily score points with Lanna (too bad for her I’ve already decided to marry Julia…). Chelsea, the last one to arrive on the island (and the character you play as if you decide to be a girl in the beginning), is easy to get on your good side, as she doesn’t have any particular likes or dislikes, though it takes a while to get her since talking to her is the only real way to boost her friendship rating. Maybe I’ll try going for her on a different playthrough to see what happens.

I’m unofficially six pounds away from being labeled as a “fat bastard” now. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I’m probably a few pounds over my optimal weight, but I wont’ know for sure until I get my fitness check-up. In the meantime, I’m going to see if this EA Sports Active program will work for me. I would have gone with Wii Fit, but that’s $30 more expensive, and it doesn’t exactly fit in my book bag. Maybe I’ll order it for my Christmas present or something.

My little Animal Crossing-sim character worke up with a bad case of bed-head after two weeks. By the time my sister’s character wakes up, she’s likely to have grown a full Gandalf-length beard. I’m almost prepared to wake up her character prematurely just to see her reaction.

Today’s addition to my video game collection is Blaz Blue, a 2D fighting game that is totally not Guilty Gear, but inspired heavily by it. I’ve given it a successful test run (in other words, I didn’t want to return it after playing it for 45 minutes), but I’m going to try and spend time playing with characters other than Noel “Big Guns” Vermillion and Litchi “Boobie Lady” Faye-Ling. For the time being, it looks like I’ll have to do all of my practice offline, as not a single opponent I’ve tried to connect wanted to play against me. Must be that spillover reputation I’ve got from playing Street Fighter IV and sucking horribly at it…

I’ve officially been away from Animal Crossing: City Folk for over two weeks now…partially out of a conscious desire to play other games, and because I’ve been too lazy to get back in. The last time my sister returned to the game after not playing it for a while (it was her 17th birthday present, and I’ve seen her play it a total of three times in the two months we’ve had it), her character got a serious case of bed-head. I hope that doesn’t happen to my character…that takes a lot of money to fix at the barber shop.
