I finally got past the remix level and am on to the second ninja girl's games. Genre: nature. Some of these ones are really really cute. Like there is one where you are controlling a baby penguin and you have to keep in pace with the adult penguins in a line. If you mess up, you fall into the penguin in back or in front of you and you make them very angry. The stage dressing for this level is a Japanese screen that opens up and all the numbers and text is in Japanese. This is cool, because I easily lose track of what number game I am on and just focus on beating the games rather than beating the level. I have a feeling I am not getting very far into it though.

This is such a neat little game. I looked at some web-sites about it yesterday and got more information than I really wanted. But enough to know that there are some neat surprises in store.
I keep thinking that this would make a great MMO. Today it made me think about how time is used in an MMO. Generally, time goes by at an accelerated pace. But there are some interesting advantages to having a game be real time. For example, there are many interesting things going on in Animal Crossing depending on what day and time it is. I know that Saturday night, I will be able to look forward to KK Slider playing music at the train station. And he will be there for several hours, so I do not have to stress about not being able to play at an exact time. This set up gives me things to look forward to, and also keeps the pace of the game calm. Plus I feel like I can spend a half hour playing and have an enjoyable experience. With Star Wars Galaxies, I won't even let myself log on if I don't have at least two hours to play. There are trade-offs too though. For example, Tom Nook is having a sale tomorrow while I will likely be at school. But I might just bring the game with me and play it in the lab to take advantage of his amazing wall-paper sale!

Animal Crossing is a great stay home sick game. The game is just so cute and mellow, it is hard for it to not make you feel at least a little better. It is a very relaxing game. I played for about two hours today. I got out from under the thumb of that horrible Tom Nook and now I am ready to party. It seems that one of the most intriguing things about this game is the way they integrate 1 player at a time multi-play. I think this could make a good MMO, honestly. You wouldn't have to change anything at all. One person could start a town and give a password to three friends who could join that town. And you could visit other towns (and send mail to other towns). The advantage to having it online vs. the way it is now is that you could have multiple players playing together at the same time. You could, for example, have a party at your house and invite all your friends from different towns. You would also probably have to have the ability to ban certain players from your town, or else people would only be able to take certain actions (they wouldn't be able to change the face of the town too much).
I also like the real time clock, and the fact that the town clock chimes on the hour. I know when it is time to quit and get back to work!

Sometimes I wonder if I keep playing solely because I really like my character. Don't get me wrong, there are many things I truly do enjoy about this game. But the lack of role-playing can be a bit frustrating at times, especially when in my head I am comparing the game to live action RPGs.
But my character is fun. A rodian image designer who scours the galaxy for the best way to make a quick buck. I stubbornly role-play even when people won't role-play back and I have a fairly defined persona for my rodian. I think the persona I have developed and play up combined with how cool my character looks and the ability to dress her up in lots of different fun outfits keeps me coming back for more on those days I think I may never play again.
