Animal X-ing....

I finally got one of my purchased games in the mail today. Animal Crossing. I got this same game on my Nintendo Game Cube way back. I really wanted this for my old DS, that is... before it finally broke down. But I didn't have the extra $$$ to get one then. Now, with my new DS, I'll finally get to play it, other than on my gamecube. I won it on another ebay auction for $10.50 (shipping and handling included.)

For those of you who are not familiar with this game, it is very similar to another game, My Sims. you move into a town, get a house, pay for it by making a living then decorate, decorate and more decorating!

The only difference between the two is that Animal Crossing relies a lot on your Nintendo DS' internal clock. (the DS follows their owner's current time.) For example, if your DS time says it's 11:00 pm, Tom Nook's store (the same place where your character works part time to pay for the house.) closes so basically theres's nothing much to do but wait till the next day to be able to work or maybe buy or even sell stuff you don't get to use at the house anymore.

Unlike most of my other games, I won't have much progress even if I do an "all-nighter" because your neighbors in Animal Crossing would pretty much be sleeping like normal people do at night.

But not to worry, I'm also still playing Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass so if there isn't much to do on Animal Crossing... I'll switch to the other game. I know my DS has been "overworked" since last week, but I couldn't help it...

I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!
