Beth: ACNL: Frita Moves Into Arrested

In Arrested, Frita moved into town. I don't think I've ever had her in any of my towns, so it's kind of cool to have her!

In Acorn, Chai sent me a golf bag in a way of thanks for having her over. I don't know why - did she think it would fit well in my house?

I worked in the cafe for the first time in a while, which I earned some superb coffee beans for.

Out in town, I noticed dandelions sprouting. I actually quite like the look of these with the spruce trees and clovers, so I'm going to leave them for now!

In the plaza, I'm sure my town tree has grown :P

I also noticed Katrina's tent, but of course I missed her again!

While exploring town, I of course found the pitfall seed in a way I didn't really want to.

I spotted Sheldon in the lower part of town, and he asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I agreed and planted it near the bridge where I might not plant a flower on top of it :P

Chevre pinged me, and it was actually for something good! Although I might not use this bridge, it's cool to have another PWP unlocked.

Thanks for reading, see you soon!

Squishy: Missed and moving catch

On Monday Daisy asked for a piece of fruit so I gave her a coconut that I randomly had. Apparently that doesn't count. Really?
 


LOOK AT THIS! This is why I'm a cat person...
 


At least one of my dog villagers were useful. Portia requested that I build a lighthouse. Finally!
 


I wanted to put it where my southern fountain currently is so I told Isabelle to demolish it.


I saw a balloon present float nearby so I went to grab my net and hit, but something weird happened.


I positioned myself at the cliff's edge while I went through my inventory and I accidently equipped my axe. While still in my inventory the corner of my axe popped the balloon. Random but at least I got a balloon clock out of it.

 
Iggly wanted a new catchphrase and this time I didn't fail to deliver.
 


Well... I delivered, but I think I still failed.
 

Today I realised that I still didn't play so I rushed to the Nookling's store to buy some fertiliser only to find out that they closed nearly an hour ago. Grrrr.
 


Looks like Retail is accepting frogs for extra.



Filbert... You didn't see anything...

Just when I was about to catch talk to him, he pinged me. He said that he was moving out on the 8th of this month.


It must be because he's up for sale. I actually thought about it for a bit. I want to get rid of a few animals since I have two frogs, two dogs and two penguins. Since I kind of like Jeremiah more I decided to let Camofrog go.

 
Before I ended for the night I set up the lighthouse to collect funds. I forgot how expensive it was.
 


I even used the blue roses to make it look nicer!


Thank you for reading and have a good day!

Beth: Breath of the Wild #12

Hi everyone! I haven't had much time to play BOTW recently, but I did manage to do a few things.

I actually noticed I haven't found many Korok seeds recently, but I did come across one new one! I really should start looking harder for these.

I also came across a shrine surrounded by luminous rocks. I solved the riddle and bombed the rocks to collect the luminous stones. I then places those in the middle of the stone and a new shrine appeared.

Inside, I followed a few puzzles using both the round and square bombs to explore the shrine and eventually get to the shrine statue.

Carrying through the gorge, I saw light (or sand?) streaming down through the rock. I followed the light, and came across some Yiga people.

Looking back, I realised I had red flags around me. I soon realised that I was below where I had traveled to a few weeks ago when I was looking for the Yiga Clan. This is where I was trying to find!

I soon came across a room with multiple entrances covered by cloth. I used the torches to burn the cloth and uncover the entrances.

Behind one of them, I found a set of stairs. This took me directly to the hideout, where I fought a few Yiga people.

I soon realised this is going to be a harder task than I thought. For now, I've been killed a few times and I'll try again soon - but it's good to finally find the hideout!

Thanks for reading!

Squishy's thoughts and playthrough of Miitopis Demo


Miitopia is a game that I wasn't expecting to enjoy. Anytime I saw footage of it I didn't think much of it. Well that changed a lot (so much that I originally had almost 100 photos to go through, RIP). So here are my thoughts on the Miitopia Demo. (try to keep a count of how many times I say anything with the word "Mii" in it. Good Luck!)


It starts with the main story. What happens is that all of the Miis in Miitopia are hetting there faces stolen by the Dark Lord and its up to you and your squad of Miis to defeat him. Its a basic story but they can't really do much with Miis. Plus watching the faces get removed from the Mii's heads is actually really creepy.


The first hero I chose was Mii me. Squishy!


After running from a creepy butterfly I end up in a little town filled with Miis of popular celebrities and characters, like this weird couple!



or a starky Abraham Lincolm


After talking to all of the town's people the Dark Lord appeared, who I had to choose. You had the option to pick a Mii from either Mii Central (a cyberspace full of random Miis that people have made), Mii Maker, your Friend List or even from your Tomodachi Life Island. You can also make one from scratch. There's even a random button for Mii Central which gave me some funny results.



After thinking about it for a bit, I wanted the main characters in the story to either be my friends or some Youtubers I watch. In the end I went with this...


OH MY GOOOSH! A FLOATING SHOPPING LIST HE'S DEAD!!!


After that a random voice form above gave me a...



Am I the only one that yelled that in an epic voice?

I got to choose what job my Mii was going to have. I decided to make myself a mage.




After a bit of adventuring I had to choose a companion. I chose Beth and made her a Cleric for healing purposes.






After every area yu party can rest in an inn. Why the world has so many inns I don't know but its handy!



You can put your Miis in the same room to improve their friendship which makes them better in battle.


While at the inn I removed Beth's weird hat. That's better!


You can also let your Miis go buy stuff. This reminded me of Animal Crossing New Leaf so I let her buy it.





After exploring the game a little, I found a place to scan amiibo to get the character's costume






After playing for a while I got a third party member. Jeff the warrior! Huzzah!



I met up with Proton Jon again and the Great Sage Chuggaaconroy appeared (because you can't have Proton Jon without Chuggaaconroy).



I decided not to spoil anymore of the story so here are some fumy photos.









I also got my fourth party member, Chack the Pop Star (the other two jobs available are the thief and the chef.)


Some of the things these Miis say are priceless!






While walking around Chack wanted a battle cry. I couldn't think of anything that would fit 26 characters so I just made him say "For the glory of Miitopia"






Sometimes in the inns (couldn't word that better) the Miis will have conversations in their rooms. Here's one that Beth and Chack were having.





Oops1 Secrets out!




At this point I finished the demo (thanks a lot Beethoven for ruining the fun).



Final thoughts
Overall this game is a lot better then I expected. It made me actually laugh out loud which doesn't happen often. I will be sure to buy the full game when it releases. Thank you for reading and if you haven't tried the demo, I highly recommend it.
