Stolen Pixels #242: Welcome to Town!

[Rhythm]

Well we always knew that raccoons were evil, I mean look at Raccoon city, that's full of evil! (ba dum tish...)

 

[Swaki]

how does "fool" rimes with "do", i have been trying to say it out loud in every accent i could imagine, and unless they pronounce it "dool" where samus lives i dont get it.

if someone got a audio file where someone gets it to rime i would greatly appreciate it.

i still dont think it rimes with "do", again unless you pronounce it dool.

If I hadn't seen my girl play these games I'd have no idea what this was about, but that was pretty funny

You could pronounce fool in the ghetto way, foo' rhymes with do

yes! huzzah.

...but, the random "ghetto" slang doesn't really fit in with the mood or the rest of the rhymes, but then again all my knowledge about the ghetto is from GTA san andreas.

I think you should avoid Recettear if that bugs you, you may take to hating a certain adorable loan shark fairy.

 

[Twad]

I got ninja'd! I was going to post about that Animal crossing LP "The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing" too!

 

[DTWolfwood]

I remember reading either a comic or watching an animated short about this rodent! and i was pretty sure i saw it here on the Escapist!

Also indentured servitude for some good lolz.

Tom Nook, he owns you in both defenitions.

 

[9of9]

Heh, it's fun imagining this to the voice and tune of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBewtVuEASc

 

[Josdeb]

I must point you all to the Something Awful Let's Play of Animal Crossing.

http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Animal%20Crossing/

All the secrets will be revealed there.

And it's brilliant.

May I just say, I don't think I will ever be able to look at Animal Crossing the same way again now...

I take it Shamus has given up on New Vegas then? Surely there's plenty more to poke fun at in the Mojave, apart from the obvious technical issues.

I really should get around to playing Animal Crossing one day. Unfortunately, I'd need to get a wii first...

Or a Gamecube, or a DS.

The DS version is widely considered the best, though.

 

[Stilt-Man]

I don't see Tom Nook as evil, really, but rather a stupid businessman. He gives you these insane mortgages, then he basically pays them off for you. Unless you're income is solely from bell rocks, and tree-shaking (and the odd letter from "Mom"), it comes from Nook himself when you sell turnips, fruit, fish, etc.

 

[fanklok]

Spoiler: Shamus Gary Oak isn`t a bastard villain he`s the greatest pokemon trainer ever

What game is that from because I never ever want to play it.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

This is brilliant and true! Everyone must be warned of Tom Nook.

It's worse than you know. The whole town is built on a graveyard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haniwa].

Thanks for posting that; I knew I'd seen him on a list of videogame villains somewhere, but I couldn't remember where.

 

[Scrythe]

I remember reading a story somewhere in the depths of the internet where it started out being a review of Animal Crossing and ended up turning into a horror story involving harvesting organs, transformations, and an undead antagonist.

Spoiler

Tom Nook ends up killing himself by the end. It was glorious

EDIT: I found it [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Animal%20Crossing/Update%201/index.html]!

Read it. Now.
