Animal Crossing New Leaf: Char guide

The most pain-in-the-ass item on that list is the char. Here are some images to help you nab one.



It spawns *in* the waterfall, so you'll need to cast your lure in the top river, and let it fall down to get the char's attention.



The shadow will follow your lure out of the waterfall. You can kinda make out the shadow size in this picture

Success!

Schedule updated

Animal Crossing Best Buy Spotpass Workaround

Players of Animal Crossing: New Leaf can access exclusive content this summer by visiting Best Buy.  If you connect to the Spotpass service within a store, you will download four special items during the following dates:

6/16-6/29    Raccoon Wall-Clock
6/30-7/13    Cat Tower
7/14-7/27    Suitcase
7/28-8/10    Double Neck Guitar

Unfortunately, the majority of Best Buy stores are not participating in this promotion, because "fuck you", and Nintendo will not inform players of an alternative means of obtaining the items, no matter how many times you call them, because, again, "FUCK YOU!"

Luckily, those of us who do not live in "metropolitan areas" can access this content without having to buy plane tickets, or drive to another god damned state.

Step 1:  Change the SSID on your wireless network to "Bestbuy".
Step 2:  Rename your wireless network name within your 3DS wireless settings.

Your Nintendo Zone icon ought to now be shitting itself in anticipation.  If you click the icon and try to access a Nintendo Zone it will not work, but that is alright.

Step 3:  Load Animal Crossing.
Step 4:  Go to the post office.
Step 5:  Talk to Pelly / Phyllis.
Step 6:  Click the 'Ask about a present' option.

If you follow these steps, then you ought to receive an awesome Raccoon Wall-Clock, without having to visit Best Buy!



Enjoy your digital items!

In closing, I would like to say a very special FUCK YOU to Best Buy, and FUCK YOU to Nintendo, for their not informing me of this when I called them today asking if there was a way for me to get these items without having to drive 2+ hours.

I hope the customer service representatives who told me to drive to another state die in a fucking fire.

Animal Crossing is Serious Business

Noticed something amusing after I placed the new AC Prima guide on my desk, next to some other books.

Remember when SONY was the asshole?

It seems like just yesterday we were bitching about how SONY hated its customer base, that in order to purchase any SONY product you must first permit them to kick you in the junk.

And now they go and do this...



The cheer.  Oh, the cheer.

I don't know what to make of a world in which SONY is the good guy, and Microsoft is the asshole.
