Animal Crossing: City Folk

[NovaMan XP]

I only had a Gold Slingshot and Gold shovel in Wild World...

The Gold Axe seemed way too tedious to get, and the rest as well.

[ASR]

Whatever.
I just fought in the most epic battle in all of Animal Crossing history.
There was this thing hanging from three balloons.
I shot it down and it was a Gold Slingshot.

For a second I thought they actually added some sort of battle system.

[preventerWIND]

If they did I'd kick Resetti's ass all over the place.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

If they did Resetti would kick everyone else's ass all over the place.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

I see they haven't done much in terms of graphics.

Aaaaaaactually!
They have done quite a bit to the graphics.
It's not a few big changes, but it's quite a few little changes.
There are improved lighting effects, some items have an active shine, there are items with clean transparent qualities, and everything just has a little more texture.
A bunch of little things you don't really notice.
Animal Crossing isn't supposed to look realistic, so I think the graphics are fine.

[ASR]

No, I agree that it's not supposed to look realistic. It's just funny that it STILL looks the same as its N64 graphics.

[Mikero]

You definitely mean Gamecube.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah.

Because I'm sure the N64 version didn't look THAT good.

(yes, there was an N64 version in Japanland only, in case anyone didn't know)

I will admit, it's pretty much the same as the GC graphics, but with a few nice things here and there.

I think Nintendo's getting REALLY lazy with graphics lately...

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Have Nintendo games ever been about graphics?

[NovaMan XP]

No, but it's really sad when the graphics make it look like it could've been released for the Gamecube.

[Mikero]

Have Nintendo games ever been about graphics?

The N64 had something to do with graphics. You know, being that graphics were their entire marketing campaign.

[ASR]

No, Mike, I meant the N64 version. Which looked EXACTLY the same as the Gamecube version.

[Mikero]

I didn't know there was an N64 version in japan, however it does not look exactly like the GC version. It is really close though, but I can tell right away from screens. I guess they mostly only ever made lighting effects nicer.

[ASR]

I couldn't tell the first time someone showed me the screenshots. I insisted it was still the Gamecube version and it was a hoax and that there was never an N64 one.

I was such a stubborn lad!

[ChaosVortex]

"Don't call me Kamina, call me bro!"

[Mikero]

Lame glasses.

[NovaMan XP]

You know, pressing 1 on your Wii Remote takes a screenshot, and then you can save it to your SD card and upload a better picture...

But you might not have an SD card, so nevermind.

[preventerWIND]

Lame glasses.

"Squirtle squirt!"

[NovaMan XP]

But you see, those aren't triangular. They're rounded at the bottom.

That's what I told WIND. I didn't have an SD card and I was just going to send it to him on the Wii Message Board, but he said he didn't have a Wii right now, thus the camera phone shot.

Lame glasses.

so is ur face

[Mikero]

Now you know that's not true.

Lame glasses.

"Squirtle squirt!"

But you see, those aren't triangular. They're rounded at the bottom.

And like I've said, only he's allowed to wear 'em.

[NovaMan XP]

He makes it look awesome.

[ChaosVortex]

I CAUGHT A COELACANTH.

AFTER WEEKS OF SNOWY DAYS, ITS IN MY AQUARIUM.

I AM THE MAN.

[Vinchenz Rock]

My brother caught that fish the first day he was playing.

It was also funny because he was all like, "Hey Mike, remember when I caught that Coelacanth after trying for so long on the Gamecube version?"

The next fish he caught was it. We were all like O_O and stuff.

[ChaosVortex]

I caught it by freak accident in Wild World. I thought it was just some ugly fish.

And then Nova came to visit and was widely impressed.

Be careful who you're friends with. They might just steal your stuff.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Wow, and that guy is calling the people who play the game nerds with no life? What BS...

[preventerWIND]

That's hilarious.

[ChaosVortex]

I just finished putting fruit trees all over my town and letting them grow to a certain amount. Basically, I've organized my town to where I can pick all my fruit at one time and roll in a lot of dough.

I'm re-opening my town today. It'll be a tiny little ACCF party.

Gates will open at 2 PM EST, since I'm in Florida, and will close at 7 PM EST.

Only rules:

1) Do not bring any shovels.
2) Do not bring any axes.
3) Do not bring a timer.
4) Do not purchase any shovels, axes, or timers at Nookingtons you twat.
5) If you could please, try to avoid walking on grass and trampling flowers.

Other than that, go nuts. I mean it. You can take anything you see (except my furniture). Purchase anything from Nooks. If you want anything ordered, I'll order and send it to you for the price Nook asks, and send it to your house (if it's in my catalog). Any furniture I already bought will be outside Nook's shop for the taking. I'll have a timer to have a small fishing/bug catching tournament if there are enough people in town. The winner will get free furniture from my house (upper floor), possibly money too.

Sano, Nova, Snare, and Ikeoko are invited, since the rest of you lot don't have the game, so beat it.

[Chron]

I have the game, I just think it's a complete waste of time.

[ChaosVortex]

Every game is a complete waste of time.

But let's not go down that road, I know what you mean.

[Chron]

NUH UH.
Some of them are only marginal wastes of time.

[ChaosVortex]

Gates are now open.

If you have trouble getting in, I'm on AIM/MSN.

[Mikero]

I don't understand why people aren't allowed to bring timers.

[ASR]

Ha. I was wondering that but I really didn't care enough to ask.

[Mikero]

I don't really care either but it seems odd and I have nothing else to say about this game.

[ASR]

In fact I don't even know what use a timer would have in the game.

[NovaMan XP]

ITS FER FISHING TOURNAMENTS AND BUG CATCHINGS

[Chron]

I thought it was for stopping time so you could dodge Medusa heads easier...

... I'm sorely disappointed.

[ChaosVortex]

If you have a timer, you can start and stop the time, no matter who started it originally.

Not to mention the use of strapping it to a bomb.

I mainly didn't want anyone digging up pitfall seeds though.

But anyway, even though me and Annie are the only one's playing the game, I wanted to use this day to let anyone else raid my town before I sold the fruit, furniture, etc.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well, I would have come but YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME. >:(

[ChaosVortex]

I didn't know you had a friend code.

It should have watermills instead. Watermills give Costa diarrhea.
