Beth: Redesigning for Summer

Hi everyone! Contradicting the name of this post, it's been more like winter here over the past few days in the UK. But at least that's given me the chance to catch up with Acorn and even do some designing!

I started off my walk by meeting Rodeo, Acorn's newest resident! As suspected, he moved from Jeff's town of Forest.

As part of updating Acorn, I finally moved the gold and black roses from town, and hopefully I'll be replacing them with white roses for a more summery feel!

I also decided to include a few pink roses in this part, among some white pansies.

I also replaced some dark flowers with white roses leading up to the town hall.

At home, I noticed my back room has been expanded. I'm planning on creating a garden area with this room, maybe a kind of garden centre or store?

I moved some of the back room furniture into the main room to re-do it. It looks a little messy at the moment, but it'll be better eventually, I promise!

Thanks for reading! I'll be back with a Zelda post on Thursday.

Squishy's E3 2017 Thoughts and Predictions

E3 is next week and I'm excited to see what Nintendo have to offer. I also plan on checking out what Sony has since I'm considering getting a PS4 but my predictions are solely Nintendo this year. Without further ado, lets get started.

Firstly I don't see anything coming for the Wii U. Its pretty much a no brainer. But I do see some Wii U remakes and ports coming to Switch similar to how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was released. I can see them announcing at least one more port.

Next is Animal Crossing Mobile. The possible reason for its delay could be because they are adding capability to a new Animal Crossing for Switch. Its meant to come out this year so we will probably hear at least a little bit about it.

They will most likely talk about Arms, Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyseey since they are the top games for the Switch that are coming out this year (besides Breath of the Wild). I see at least two of these games being mentioned.

Another thing I think they will announce is Virtual Console for Switch. They will more than likely start with the basics like popular NES games or something but it will be a good start.

Lastly, I hope they announce some more games for the 3DS since Nintendo have specified that its still alive.Also some more amiibo.

What do you think will be at this year's E3? Feel free to leave your thoughts and predictions in the comments down below and thanks for reading!

Squishy: Forgotten and Remembered

Yesterday I discovered that Saturday was Filbert's birthday. Oops!

While in Main Street everyone's umbrellas went up at the same time.

If this was rael life, I would be dead. Good thing its only Animal Crossing!

Today was Camofrog's birthday!

Luckily I didn't forget this one. Phew!

I gave Camofrog the trash bin. He liked it? Okay...

Filbert started making bat noises. Imagine bat characters in the next Animal Crossing game.

 

The sunset looked really pretty so I took a photo while sitting on the town tree.

Daisy tried buying my Ruby for dirt cheap. How about no.

 

I mentioned it before on my Twitter but I will be posting a little more (still on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays) for the next two weeks since everything is happening at once and I don't want to stray away from Animal Crossing too much. Everything will be back to normal after the 19th June.

Thank you for your understanding and have a good week!

Beth: HHD: Cranston's Rice Field

Instead of playing New Leaf, I decided to play Happy Home Designer! It's been a while, so I thought it was about time to design some more houses.

One of the options I had was an underwater fantasy land.

The other option I had was to create a studio, but I wasn't too keen on either. I had a little wander to see if there was another option.

I did have another choice - a rice paddy! I chose this one.

I decided to place this house on one of the biggest plots available.

Once I got to the plot, I was reminded of my task.

Inside, I created a living area based on a kitchen. I used mainly natural looking furniture, including a tatami bed and bamboo bench!

Outside, I did the only natural thing - filled the yard with crops! I also used a few of the new pieces I unlocked, including a tractor.

When I finished the design, I went to visit a few of the other animals I've designed for. I ended up in Diana's house!

I took a few photos her house, as it's definitely one of my favourite designs.

I made sure to take a few photos in there and post them on my Tumblr - it needed updating!

Thanks for reading!

Squishy: Cute stumps!

On Wednesday Boone was staying at the campsite. I don't mind him but I didn't invite him to Cosmic.

 

I met my newest neighbour, Filbert!

He started telling me about y birthday wish. Did the other villagers just come and tell you my life story without  me knowing?

I was buying a package from Daisy and shoved the money up her nose.

 

The package was originally from Flo so I went back to talk to her. She went from polite to rude in about three text boxes.

 

I finally found a pair of green glasses in the Able Sisters so I added them to the rest of my Shamrock Day outfit.

 

Iggly now calls me Swishy!

 

 On Thursday Filbert commented on the weather. Don't worry buddy I'm use to it by now.

 

Gracie now sells the Gracie series. My least favourite of the five.

 

And yesterday I planted trees next to my hedge wall. I chopped them down today to leave these tiny stumps. Cute!

Thank you for reading and have a good weekend.

Beth: Breath of the Wild #8

Warning: My BOTW posts may include spoilers. I will warn readers again for big spoilers that are part of the main story, but proceed with caution!

I haven't been heading towards another Divine Beast for a while, instead I've been building Tarrey Town! If you want to avoid spoilers for Tarrey Town, I'd skip this post.

When I first arrived in Tarrey Town, Hudson asked me to fetch someone with a lot of physical strength. I carried on the conversation, and he asked for a Goron person with a name ending in Son. In fact, this happened with all of the people I fetched - everyone here has a name ending in Son!

I was heading up to the main City, with my brother watching me play. He quickly hinted that I should stay in another part, so I talked to the people in the Southern Mine. There I found Greyson and his son! They agreed to my plan, and headed off towards Tarrey Town.

Back in Tarrey Town, Greyson's son is now running a little store!

The next task for me was to look for someone with good tailoring skills. He then pointed me in the direction of Gerudo Town, which is basically the complete other end of the map! I was still determined, though, and I headed off on foot.

On my way, I found a horse and a shrine. I then headed down to a brand new stable to register my horse!

I left my new horse on the outskirts of the desert before wandering over to Gerudo Town. I was then again given a tip by my brother that, I was in the wrong place once again! I headed to Kara Kara Bazaar and found the person I was looking for.

I headed back to Tarrey Town and he asked me for someone from Rito Village, which was again, in another part of the map.

On my way there, I headed past Hyrule Castle. Near there, I found another memory! It's been a while since I last found one, so it was kind of cool to come across something new.

In Rito, I found someone to help - Fyson. I sent him on his way to Tarrey Town.

Back in Tarrey Town, Hudson sent me out again. This time, he wanted a Priest from the Zora region!

But that wasn't enough for Hudson to marry the woman I fetched from Kara Kara Bazaar. He didn't want to celebrate alone, and asked me to fetch his friends from Hateno Village.

On the way back to Tarrey Town for what felt like the 100th time, I went to enhance my first piece of armor - a climber's bandanna.

I then headed back to join in with the ceremony. They said 'I do' under the promise that they will name their child a name ending in 'son'. Of course.

Hudson gave me a big gift for helping build Tarrey Town - 3 diamonds. Honestly, I would have been happy to do this for free. It's actually been one of my favourite parts of the game so far!

Before saving my game, I took my newest horse (Peanut) to my home in Hateno Village. Thanks for reading!
