Hokay. Here's an update...
Nintendo WiFi is fun. I think that our problems over the previous pages may have been a one off problem with the Nintendo servers. At any rate, Suedey has managed to visit my town without incident twice now, and the same goes for me to his. Aside from those teething problems, the whole process is invisible.
We've talked to (and since recieved letters from) each other's animals. Alli the Alligator keeps asking me if Suedey was always such a "bug freak". We've exchanged presents and hit each other with stuff. There's not really anything in the way of set up "games" that you can play, it's more that you find your're own fun with the methods of interaction available. I did enjoy running and hiding in his village, stalking him from a distance, running up behind him, hitting him over the back of the head with a net and then running away again. I was wearing a top hat and long villainous moustache while I did it, which made it all the better.
So now I've had somebody else buy something from my Nook's, it's been upgraded to Nookingtons, a lavish two-storied department store. Unlike the Cube version, this one has a hair salon called "Shampoodle" (Guess which type of animal Harriet the stylist is). I'm rocking a pink, near-skinhead that makes me look disturbingly like Sinead O'Connor.
I'm beginning a pear orchard, which is already getting up to speed, but I'm losing a lot of the saplings, and I'm not sure why. At least two are taking root with each batch, but I'm still wasting a good number of pears. I'm going to need to get to grips with the growth preferences of the trees, because I'm looking to get into hardcore farming.
More later. |
