Call it an addiction, call it an obsession, call it the blue oyster cult. I love Animal Crossing, both on the Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo DS. Ostensibly just a game, it is a virtual life inside a small bucolic town inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.
As fun as this game can be on the surface; earning money, buying goods to decorate your home, or catching bugs and fish — there is something magical that happens deep inside the game. Like many other role-playing games, Animal Crossing takes these fun little tasks and rewards you with little bonuses. Eventually, there is something satisfying that clicks in your brain when the tasks are completed that makes you coming back for more.
Despite your reservations, robogomo… bite it… bite it hard…

I have to say that one thing that robogomo is missing is that it’s so much fun to play with your friends. Being able to visit each other’s towns is what makes it so special for me. I love to visit your town and help you shake ur trees, make joy faces at you and even visit your bitchy neighbors. I know he’s never gonna give it a chance but… oh well. We tried.
BTW thanks for putting me on the front page! 🙂 I’m a celebrity now i know it!
Again, it’s the Kool-Aid talking.
Yes, all of the things one can do in Animal Crossing can be fun, but again, it’s stuff I want to do in real life…why waste it on a game.
And seriously, since I am comparing it to activities in real life, admit it…you both, Pinoy Boy and Macboy X, that visiting my town in real life was funner than playing the Animal Crossing game…or am I wrong…bite that!
I know you both love your game…and I can totally appreciate that. Do I really have to play to be your guys’ friend? 🙁
