While everyone is busy upgrading their WordPress, I spent this morning downgrading Firefox. As most of you will likely remember, I upgraded to Firefox 3 on download day and was “quite happy” with it. The excitement was fairly short-lived, unfortunately. I’ve been having problems with Firefox for a couple of months. I’d close the browser… read full entry »

Now that you’ve read my first guide on earning bells in Animal Crossing, you’re probably ready to experiment with making bells in a few other ways?

Anyway, settle for catties… (well, one catty): Fudge has such an innocent face, until you catch him stealing your chicken out from under the grill (for… read full entry »

After spending the past couple of years or whatever blasting the shit out of twitter because it’s encourages inane BS, I actually got one. To reserve my username, of course, no other reason :P

I can’t remember when I first got hooked on Animal Crossing… it must have been not long after the DS version came out (“Animal Crossing: Wild World“) because I’d never heard of it back when I spent weekends hard-wired in to the GameCube.
