September 19, 2003

If you hadn't noticed yet, there's a new video up on the AWL 
videos page. I came across a cute event with Nami exploring the 
farm.

While playing AWL, I've noticed that the responses you get to 
choose during events will be different for each experience. I 
happen to come across an event with Moi "borrowing" an egg out of 
my refrigerator :) The first time I decided to tell him politely 
to put the egg back, which he did and left. Now I was curious to 
see what would happen if I was mean to him, so I reloaded my 
game and this time told him he could not have that egg. Poor Moi 
had this very sad expression on his face and he put the egg back. 
When he was leaving his tummy started grumbling because he was so 
hungry. Now I felt bad for being mean to him :( Once again I 
reloaded the save, only to find out that this time I actually had 
a response to choose that would let him keep the egg! Moi was so 
happy!

Moi is becoming one of my favorite characters :) He has these 
little black Flies that buzz around his head and every so often 
he'll stop under a tree and put out a tin can, begging for money. 
After giving him some G one night, while he was bending over to 
bow in gratitude ("arigatomoi!") I noticed he was only wearing a 
pair of underwear! When he sits under a tree to beg for money, he 
takes off his shirt so he has something to sit on. When viewing 
him from the front, his beard pretty much covers everything up, 
but if you give him some money from the side, you can see his 
bare back and dirty grey underwear :)

One of my chicken eggs hatched into a Rooster, which was kind of 
useless since I already have one. I decided to sell the Rooster 
for 450 G. Takakura picked it up one evening and a cut scene 
appeared with him taking my Rooster up the hill that links up to 
FoMT! 0_0 Where did you take my chicken, you freaky looking old 
man!?

The linkup between FoMT and AWL now has me at 12 Goddess stars. 
I still have no idea what each star represents. Yesterday I had 
11 stars, but the day before that I was at 8. It's baffling ^_0 
I kept FoMT hooked up to AWL yesterday and a few new things did 
occur besides Ban setting up shop on a non-shop day. The 
C-Channel on tv was talking about the fishing you can do in 
Mineral Town. I also ran in to Ban at the Blue Bar that night. He 
says that he likes to go to Mineral Town and met up with is 
fellow entrepreneur, Won. So the tv hosts know about Mineral 
Town, Ban knows about Won, but I still have no fly'n snotty ball 
idea what is going on. 

Until next time!

- So there were these two cows, chatting over the fence between 
  their fields.
- The first cow said, "I tell you, this mad-cow-disease is really 
  pretty scary. They say it is spreading fast; I heard it hit 
  some cows down on the Johnson Farm."
- The other cow replies, "Heck, I ain't worried, it don't affect 
  us ducks."
