Animal Crossing Pictures

Yeah, I am going to have to start up another Current Obsessive Game corner or all my posts are gonna be about Animal Crossing. But it is honestly as addictive as ever. One new feature that is great is the ability to take snap shots of the game WHILE YOU ARE IN IT. This makes getting pictures for this blog sooooo much easier.

The Museum has a much cleaner lay out. Each area splits into multiple well organized rooms. And whats even cooler is that residents of the town will be seen IN the museum itself and will talk to you about the state of the exhibits. Seeing and interacting with residents away from their homes and the main area gives the town a much more lived in feel.

Fishing is a bit easier. Fish don't move as randomly and you can more easily reach distant fish. Bug catching also has a new feature. When the net is ready, you can hold down the swing button to ready a swing and move very slowly while you stalk the bug. On the flip side, bugs and fish are far more sensitive to you running  near them, making it safer to briskly walk about.

A missing feature is all the little quotes Blathers would give you when you donated something. They were sometimes very funny, but it obviously wouldn't have worked with the new multi-donation system.

Yes, you still have to pay Tom Nook. He no longer runs the general store, but he runs a  real estate business now with home additions. BUT, you no longer have to upgrade your home upon paying off your loan. So as long as you are comfortable with a smaller place, you can live debt free. A nice touch that I always wanted.

One minor thing that I thought was cool was the train tracks. You get to town by train now and the shopping area is on the north side of the tracks. I saw that we had gate crossings and wondered if they would ever drop. THEY TOTALLY DO! No one got on or off, a train just passed through. It was a nice touch.
