No breed is more loyal than the Labrador. Over the next four weeks in Animal Crossing, Nintendo are sending out four exclusive Nintendogs puppies to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Nintendogs game.

Animal Crossing 17: Chasing Tarantulas
Tags: Obsessive Gamer Blogs

The end of August has come around all too quickly. We had a week away from home but apart from that I've been spending some time in Oakwood most days. However, I've resorted to a much more 'laissez faire' attitude to the game - not time travelling at all, not worrying about the Stalk Market too much, unless I think I'll have time in that particular week.

Animal Crossing 16: It's been a LONG while

It's been a busy few months in our household. I wasn't really intending to stop playing City Folk but after a week's holiday away from home, somehow life got the better of me and I couldn't bring myself to play catchup, setting the clock back to play each day since I last played - so I just didn't play at all.

Updates from Oakwood are getting fewer and further between. I'm still checking in to town every day but just doing the essential jobs in order to keep the game ticking over. There are days when I play a little bit more, for example a Wednesday when Crazy Redd's stock changes, or a Sunday when I buy turnips, but usually I'm just watering flowers and checking turnip prices, as well as throwing an axe into the fountain!

Animal Crossing 14: Easter Bunny

It's been a few weeks since the last update from Oakwood but until Easter there hadn't been much more to report. I've been slowly collecting items that were missing from my catalogue, fishing and bug catching when new fish and insects became available, and doing lots of gardening.

Weeks are beginning to run into one another in Oakwood these days. Just more turnip price watching, axe throwing, and flower watering! Thankfully I'm getting better at remembering to take in-game photos so that at least reminds me about important events.

Animal Crossing 12: Dancing Peacocks
Tags: Obsessive Gamer Blogs

If I had to describe this week in Animal Crossing it would be 'just a bit cheesed off'. The week started with the excitement of 'Festivale', a special event in which a dancing peacock whipped the villagers up into a frenzy. They were playing silly games all day and giving out candy to the winners - and once you'd finally earned three candies of the right colour for your efforts at these luck based games, you could exchange them with Pave (the peacock) for exclusive furniture items.

Animal Crossing 11: Here fishy fishy

It's been quite a mundane week in Oakwood; each day has simply been about completing chores, selling fruit, and checking the shops for any interesting items. To be honest, that's all I have had time for!

Animal Crossing 10: Postman Pete delivers DLC

Daisy's had a fairly exciting week, in addition to the usual chores around the town! On Monday there was a special event on Groundhog Day in North America, so I hooked up with a US friend to visit their town. Daisy tiptoed around that town, as it was carefully laid out with paths and flowers to maximise grass growth, so no running allowed!

Animal Crossing 09: Useful forums

Further to the plight mentioned in my last bulletin, I made a shout-out on an Animal Crossing networking site that I use fairly regularly. Someone almost immediately replied and said that their Gracie Grace store still had the items I needed!
