Animal Crossing

Off in the village of Alaska, there is a small cottage filled with comfortable furniture and interesting décor. Inside that cottage resides Rinn, a humble collector of bugs, fossils, fish and other various oddities.

Each day Rinn sets out to continue her pursuit to collect

item in the game. This 40 page list includes each minute detail in the game that MUST be accomplished before feeling I have truly ‘beaten’ the game. I’m unlockin ‘expert insane hard mode’ as my friends call it.

Countless hours easily get sucked out of my life and into my character’s life.  It’s not even like I’m actually accomplishing major victories; just harmlessly collecting fruits and other items to pay off the shark loan of a raccoon who forced me to buy a house wait no, more like dumpy closet hole with shanty flooring and a radio on a cardboard box for a million dollars. (who takes financial advice from forest animals anyway??) Can’t I just like, pay in acorns? No. that sneaky snake is greedy as sin.

So as I have worked day in and day out to afford this slanty box of a home that costs more than a lifetime of burritos for everyone in America, I eventually save up enough money to pay him off. Only of course for him to tell me I owe him double the amount I owed him the first time to make my home an inch bigger in diameter. No. This is not okay.

Aside from the money grubbing raccoon, there are my other villager friends that are quite pleasant. Here’s a quick run down.

Cookie, This little nugget of cuteness is just the sunshine of my town.

Moose, He’s kind of the pedophile of the town. Always walking around naked with his gruff facial hair and crude remarks, just like that one creepy uncle everybody has.)

Gengji, Powerhouse rabbit over here, he might look soulless, but that’s just because he sweat it out while doing all those morning work-outs.

Stinky, Why oh why does he choose to wear underpants on his head? Nobody knows, but what I do know, is that he’s still got a cute charm about him.

Gaston, Maybe it’s just me. But doesn’t he strike an uncanny resemblance to Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation?

Mallary, I hate Mallary so much. Occasionally my town gets overrun with bird characters, and all of them eventually leave because I’m so mean to them. All except Mallary. Stupid Mallary.

And last but not least Nate the bear. He moved out of my town unfortunately, but I’m still including him as being there because I got so attached I literally cried when he moved. He’s just so fat and lovable I was sad to see him go. I would walk to say hello every morning and one day his house had picked up and disappeared. D:

Sometimes I spend more time with the people in my village more than the people in my real life. Have I mentioned I’m a bit of a hermit?

I’m quite cozy here though. :) I can't wait for it to come out on the 3DS. ANY TIME NOW.
