I played today for the first time in a month. My house was infested with cockroaches but i killed them all quickly.

Wow your house gets infested. That is so cool. So if i played now it would be all autumny but in a few days it will be snowing?

i like putting a friends memory card in and running rampant through thier town!

If you played now, it would be whatever time and day it is right now.

In my game, right now it is 7:12pm, Dec. 3rd and it is snowing and there's alot of snow on the ground, just like outside.

I bought Call of Duty: Finest Hour earlier but I've had a little mess around on it to test it out as my two fave shows of the moment, Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere and Peep Show, were on but it seems like a good game with some of the best graphics I've seen on the Cube.

Snows only bad if you dont ski.

Lets see. Tonight I plan on beating Twin Snakes. So far its pretty solid. *Rim shot* Anyway the story is the same right? Ive skipped all the cinematics except the ones right before the bosses.

Why would you skip the cinematics!!!????

That's the whole POINT of Metal Gear Solid!!

because ive beaten the original too mnay times too count.

But this is the remake. Better graphics and stuff! Probably different cinematics too.

The ones that i did see and the one that I watched and finished a bowl of cereal during (true story) and just got bored of them.

yeah they are totally boring. and omg they are so long! i hate watching them. it takes forever to get through one. i could probably beat the game in the time it takes for one of those movies to pass.

Well i love them. They're really interesting and awesome.

I got animal crossing today!

cool! hope you enjoy it. i should get that game too.

i got this game a couple of weeks ago, Crash Nitro Kart. yes the 2nd crash bandicoot racing game. when i first played it, i thought it was terrible. then last night, me and my friends played it. now we think its awsome. its actualy a very fun game. enough stuff to keep you opccupied for a couple of hours i think. i havent beaten it yet tho. but multiplayer is extremely cool and theres some good different kind of games too. on single player, theres adventure mode, where you do the story line, theres the circuit cup races, then you can just race by yourself. on multiplayer, theres the cicuit cups, regular races, and battle mode, which has 5 different games to choose from. everything on multiplayer can also be done on teams. i reccomend it for at least a rental.

Yeah. that games pretty fun. but it kinda goes too slow.

I got Pikmin 2 and its fun...rented it.

Picking up items worth money to repay debt, using other types of pikmin to do a lot of battle/hauling...sometimes gets repetative...but I still like the game . Still playing it.

pikmin games are fun. but not challenging enough.

I'd love to see Konami return to Nintendo with a "Castlevania" gane for the Gamecube. I've always loved that series of games from classic NES through N-64 and gameboy.

yeah that would be gr8. have you tried lament of innosence? its 4 the ps2, i think

How do you like Animal Crossing Chris?

Its really fun but there are a few drawbacks. One that you cant play late at night because theres nothing to do. Other than that its great. I love turning it on and having something there for me!

You can play late at night. You can dig up fossils and find stuff by shaking trees. You can catch bugs and fish, you can make patterns until 2am and you can talk to a few villagers. You can also hunt for the ghost that appears in town. Plus tons of other stuff.

Yes ive been wondering. How do you catch bugs and fish?

To catch bugs:
You need to buy a bug net.
To catch fish:
Fishing Rod.

etc etc.

There are four tools: Bug Net, Fishing Rod, Axe and Shovel. Axe is for cutting down trees, shovel is for digging up items/fossils/money, burying plants and fruits and tree saplings, digging up roots etc.

Cool i got the shovel,axe and bug net. Now ton nook asked me to be a member of the house people or something and that theyll judge my house? How should i go about doing that?

Basically, the more rare furniture, items, etc you have, the higher your score.
The more messy your house is, the lower the score.

etc etc.

You get marked on matching furniture, ammount of furniture, rare items, colour sets, matching wallpapers/carpets, how accessable your house is, how big it is, etc etc etc. You don't have any choice in the matter, quite simply every night you'll recieve a letter from the HRA that gives your house a point score. 0 is crap and 100,000 is amazing.

I see. Are video games rare? and how do you get the next biggest house? (I have the first upgrade)

Once you pay off your house at the post office, go talk to nook and he'll have it upgraded within 24 hours. Once it's upgraded, go talk to nook and he'll give you the price. Pay it off, repeat. You can get 3 upgrades to the main floor plus a basement and a second floor.

videogames are very rare. you should have gotten 2 in the mail for being the first person to play with the included AC memory card, and after that they are SOMETIMES buried in the ground by other villagers, SOMETIMES for winning at the raffle at the end of the month, and SOMETIMES for sale by a guy called Crazy Redd, who comes to town selling rare stuff about twice a month.

Yes. I have 2 games a chair, 3 of those stupid things that dance. and a christmas tree.

Quite a collection you have.

No matter what, never get rid of those games. You'll get plenty of space for them once you start getting tables and upgrades. There's over 1000 pieces of furniture, items, etc to get so don't feel you need to limit yourself.

Yeah thats why i have so little.

Glad you like it anyway.

Don't forget, the book only works if it's on a table. You can use it to write diary entries, and check what events are coming up. The rarest items are found on EVENT DAYS. Talk to the mayor at the wishing well and he'll give you arre items, on event days like halloween etc.

and "holidays? Do the animals dress up on halloween? Oh i sold that book. but ill just get another one.

there's plenty of different ones.

yup, all the animals dressed up for halloween. halloween was especially cool because all the animals come after you, and if they get you you have to give them candy or they change your items/clothes.

except for one, called jack, who is a special character who only comes to town at halloween. if you give him candy he gives you rare halloween furniture. i got the whole set. took me hours and hours fack!

Cool. Hey how do you get a cherry for bones?

Sometimes if you do certain things for townsfolk, or talk to them, they'll give you presents including fruits you don't have in your town. You can give him the fruit, or you can plant it and grow a fruit-tree so that you'll have a never ending fruit supply.

How do you like it Chris?

Animal Crossing is boring now. I tried playing it last night and it was a snoozefest.

We should delete everything and make a new town.

I agree lovey, we should start again.
BUT, i want to keep my rare items. Took me AGES to get the model pieces, golden axe, games etc. So what we could do is borrow mikes animal corssing memory card, dump all the rare items over there, delete our town and start a new one, and then we could just go to the other town and pick up all the rare items again. Eh eh!!

We could do that.

It's just that once you finish paying off your house, there's absolutely nothing to do besides collect furniture. LAME.

Yeah. And the museum is almost done too.
Oh, my halloween collection.

Yeah I know. But the thing is, once those things are done the game is insanely boring.

I played every day for a month and a half, now I barely even look at it!

So we'll start again and you'll play alot again.

hahahaha I don't know. We'll see.

Animal Crossing 2!

Yeah, when is that supposed to come out anyway?

Did a quick google.
Couldn't find any info on AC2 for Gamecube.

AC:DS is coming out on the nintendo DS soon.

Oh well. They probably don't have a date yet then.

There should be SOME info on it.
Looks like it's coming out for Nintendo DS only.

damn you! we only have a 64 and a NGC *cries* missing out on so much

and eh? obviously we dont get the same games
