[Harvest Moon Rac...]

The one where she's on the bridge and asks if she belongs in the valley or in town.

[Kozunai]

That one can only be triggered in the early morning. I think before eight, maybe...

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Finally finished Chapter 1 after a lot of procrastinating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Did end up marrying Muffy, and since I got cut off from my main source of profit (lookin in your direction Betty...) I'm broke with only some seeds to make profit from. Oh and lotsa pictures, so here we go:

An odd glitch I found. Takakura was just standing infront of my barn doors at a distance, so I went ahead and pushed Tony inside, and just as I did that Tak decides he wants in too. They both were stuck until I paused my game, and then unpaused. Was sort of funny to watch.

Makin babies is srs business.

Nothing special here, just thought Bo looked sort of photogenic in his dog house.

The start of the Starry Night Festival.

(IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4862/hni0014mpo.jpg)
The festival really does emphasis the beauty in the game. I had a few other pictures, but out of all of them, this was my favorite.

I don't get Wally.... He's sad here, then he's sad when I get married...? Ehh, this is why I don't talk to the guy. Oh and because of his infamous laugh he does in the Summer when he talks about sweat..... Bleh....

Gustafa jammin away. Was a nice picture.

(IMG:http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5297/hni0019mpo.jpg)
Even Mukumuku came down to listen. At least he enjoyed himself, unlike certain star eyed people...

(IMG:http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1469/hni0020mpo.jpg)
Caved in and bought some chickens late Winter. Beak is the Rooster, and Peeps is the hen. Little do they know that they will be in charge of single handedly filling up that chicken coop with more chickens...

Is all Griffin had to say to me after I proposed to Muffy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

(IMG:http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8049/hni0023mpo.jpg)
More like: "Thank God you didn't marry Celia.", who oddly enough was at 4 hearts as well at the end of the chapter (checked when I was getting some seeds). Didn't give Celia any gifts or anything special either. Well come to think of it, I did see a heart event here or there...

(IMG:http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2466/hni0025mpo.jpg)
Troy was the first name I thought of when it came time to name the little guy. Wonder what he'll wanna do with his life?

(IMG:http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/225/hni0026mpo.jpg)
Gotta love those top two curlers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I actually do kind of like the little details they threw in with the characters when they slept.

(IMG:http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/779/hni0031mpo.jpg)
Hardy. Doctor Hardy. He's never wrong with a diagnosis.Never.

(IMG:http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8051/hni0032mpo.jpg)
Ya know, I never did see my cows do anything to Dayrl, so I have no idea why he wants revenge. Maybe this'll teach him to stay off my farm...

Also the towns people are telling me more and more how much I'm improving as a farmer, which is nice to hear. Oh and I saw the whole Dayrl watching my child event, but left out pictures because I feel like I overloaded you guys with too many pictures for this post anyways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Now I'm on the 2nd of Spring.

[Celia]

That reminds me of a glitch in TOT.  The one where Hamilton will sit on top of the chair.  The top of the part you rest your back against. That was fun to watch.  Until I realized it wasn't the least bit fair, because I couldn't do it.

Ahahaha! That's perfect.

Up until spring 9, Year 1

Bought-
Female Chicken - Tanya ( lol I'm naming my chickens after various youtubers. )
Birdfeed x2
Drinks from the bar once or twice. :3 Kyler drinks responsibly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)



Obtained-
Nothing

Villagers-
Giving gifts and talking to Nami... Trying to make friends with as many people as possible.

Daily Life-
Still the same! :3 A lot of foraging, digging, farm work, socializing.. Some fishing now too! I caught a Nyamame, and all I could think was "NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Observations-
Harvested y first tomato! Yeah! Also, Van never seems to be in town on the right days...Anyone know why, or is it just something that happens for no reason?

[Kozunai]

I got Lumina to four hearts, but I'm having issues activating her fourth heart event... I'm thinking that it can only be activated in Fall or later... So if that's the case, I'll have to wait a few more days...

[Ichigo]

Up until spring Summer 1, Year 1

Bought-
Nothing

Obtained-
Nothing

Villagers-
I was finally able to get into Nami's room.. I followed her like the stalker that I am from around 9 pm on until she went home at 10 or so..I was lucky I was able to get in. There's one heart. <3

Daily Life-
The same as always, pretty much. Although, on the morning of the 10th (the morning after I read Nami's diary, actually) I woke up, went outside, and got Nami's first heart event.. She was cruelly introverted, as usual, although she did stick around the farm for a while, told me she envies me and my life on the farm, and left.
I found a tablet at the digsite, so that's cool.

Observations-
I gave Nami a gift and she said I was "swell."
OH, YOU! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
Also, a few of my crops didn't grow in time.. But not many, so I suppose it's not too much of a problem

Finished Spring with 4155g.
:D Spring is all done, Summer is here! Yayy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Random observations of Chapter 2 so far...

1. People are now a tad more lively, myself included I guess. Everyone seems out and about now (even Celia leaves the farm very often now), while all I really do is focus on farm work, Muffy and Troy now. I'm cooking alot now too, not that I didn't before, but actually being able to do desserts now is awesome.

2. I had taken Troy's sketch book out of his toy box at the begining of the the game, but after buying him blocks I decided to put it back. However, before putting it in his toy box I showed him the blocks and he had a very positive reaction, but when I decided to show him his sketch book he cried and yelled: "Mine!", I never remember Celia's child reacting negatively when I showed him that, so I was wondering if anyone else did.

3. There's been less foilage in the Spring, heck on the first I couldn't find any Mugworts or flowers, but after a few days it got sort of back on schedule. Wonder why?

On the first day of a new chapter, it treats it like it is the last day of the previous chapter. If I recall correctly, you can't even get eggs on the first day of a new chapter.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Ah, that would deffinately make sense. I actually want to get to Chapter 4 like stat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Found my file the other day, and my son's highest interests were in art and taking over the farm. For some reason I kind of liked being older in the town, and with the nice house expansions... Was very nice to have, and the main character's look grew on me. Too bad he never gets a mustache like that one illustration I saw a while ago showed... Lemme see if I can find it...

Edit: Eh, can't seem to find it..

[Totoro Spirit]

Year 3, Season 1-

Bought-
Nothing

Obtained-
Hatched Female Chicken- Thera (the chicken harem is full and no longer accepting applications)
Female Calf- Fillet (sold)

Family-
Took all but the car and blocks out of toy box and spend several hours a day in the lab or dig site with my son. Celia? Who's that? Oh, my wife? Yeah, she's around. Cooking, cleaning, getting ignored, you know, wifely stuffs.

Villagers-
They're busy being villagery.

Daily Life-
I broke even on my Ruby Spice debt with cheese and egg profit. Most of the day is still spent with my son. About an hour of cuddles or tossing in the morning before work, then about 10 I'm done with the animals and go back for more cuddles and our daily trip out to attempt to absorb smartness.

Random Observations-

One morning my star cow was torn between going to the milking room and eating some grass out of the field. In her dilemma she began to violently turn back and forth between the two until she ripped the time-space continuum and grew a second head. Okay, so really she was just turning so fast it looked like she had a head on both ends.

Along with the two headed cow my dog randomly decided his house was on the other side of the door one day. So, it's pouring the rain all day and my dog slept out in the rain as though he was in his house. Perhaps he's trying to tell me his roof leaks.

Also, as I forgot to mention it, I got Nami back last Spring. Meant to say I had, but I forgot.

I ended the season with 105,551G

And from lack of daily posts we find that Totoro gets bored around the middle of year 2 and by year 3 she's totally slacking off, just waiting for the little lump of a child to grow up more so she doesn't have to carry him around places.

[Kozunai]

Did a whole bunch this morning waiting for the people in my house to wake up! lol

Finally saw Lumina's fourth heart event. Now we are engaged.
Bought a Star Cow, her name is Echo.
Bella, my beginning cow is isolated and should have her calf any day now, really hoping for a male.
My egg hatched, it was male, so it got sold. I now have another egg in the incubator.
Befriended Vesta and Romana. Rock still hates my guts, most likely because I am engaged to Lumina.

Will make a proper update later, as I plan to play more tonight. BTW, I am on Fall day 2.

[Celia]

Does Rock still like fodder in SE like he does in AWL?

[Kozunai]

I don't know. I just give him Toy Flower's everyday.

[Kozunai]

Guess I'm the only one playing now.

On Fall day 9. Here are some more updates!

Bought me a sheep, his name is Sync. Animals born include a female chick named Melody, and male chick that got sold, and a female calf named Harp that is going to be sold as soon as she gets out of the hutch.
Bought four more trees and they are growing nicely.
Some random stuff...
If you talk to Nami at the bar enough, she will get drunk and start talking like she is drunk.
Takakura told me that he was the one that put the bandage on the lizards leg, I had always thought that it was Mukumuku.
Romana told me the history of the valley. She said that when she and Sebastian came to the valley there weren't any other houses. But then Walley and his family moved in, around the same time Vesta started her farm. Then sometime after that Kassey, Patrick, and Cody moved in. Then sometime even farther down the road the Inner Inn and the Blue Bar opened. She also told me that the farm that I live on has a long history, it was there at the same time they moved in.

Forgot to mention that Chris gave me a record today. It is called "The Bride."

[Kozunai]

Well this is odd... Apparently they decided to change around the tools that people give you. The Strange Sickle that Gustafa gives you in the original was instead given to me by Cody!

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Still playing, just haven't had time to sit down for a good while to make progress. I'll post an update soon.

And that is weird Koz. Does Gustafa just give you a record then?

[Kozunai]

Nope. I really don't know why that was changed. But he hasn't done anything interesting since becoming my friend.

[Harvest Moon Rac...]

Almost finished Spring, and I have a quick observation... It seems that the random poses and things your son does is very similar to poses Takakura does. When they squat or cross their arms they do it practically identically. Never noticed that until now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Kozunai]

Well, finished up Chapter 1. Was in a bit of a hurry because I was ready to get to chapter two and play through that; however, now I must go to work, which means I won't get to play any more until late tonight... :(
