7th Station ~TV, movies, games~

Guys, guys. It looks like Atlus is going bankrupt Life is not fair, it really isn't.

In less awful news, I'm liking the look of my house

[TotallyUncool]

Although it sounds like Atlus itself has a good chance of surviving by being bought up. Their parent company, on the other hand, seems to be in serious trouble.

Good wallpaper!

Got 2 StreetPasses today! It's nice to browse their houses for furniture to order. One of them just started out four days ago, but the other started playing since the game came out and had a lot more things to look at in his house.

Haven't had the chance to play much lately, other than the most basic routine stuff of digging for stuff every day and going to the island to make money. At least today at the bus stop I remembered to run over to Nook's Home to expand my house before it was too late.

On a separate note, I finally finished reading A Game of Thrones and got myself the second book. The exciting parts are ruined by how I already knew what was going to happen, but I read to catch details I probably missed. Some parts were better written than others, but again, it's difficult to fully enjoy a book when you know what's going to happen, especially when the TV series follows the books very closely.

Atlus going for bankrupcy? Oh crap...

But as said, they could be bought, and then some cash injection could do them some good. And (except EA ofc), when publishers buy a developer, they try not to meddle much in their way of doing things (because, they've been doing things right. Why can't you realize that EA? ).
Well, at least a potential atlus buyout can help them

Season 1 does, sure, but the subsequent seasons depart from the books more and more. They must, to synchronize the plot lines and keep the number of characters manageable for a mainstream audience.

That's good then.

Animal Crossing:

I had to stop for a train while going into town. Also watermelon hat.

[TotallyUncool]

A watermelon hat seems like one of those things that would be much better in theory (or in a cute virtual environment) than practice.

[Rm88]

Awesome! I absolutely never remove my melon hat I might soon since a friend just got a Toad (the Mario mushroom) hat and he wants to trade it for my Pikmin

Wow, I had a lucky night at the tropical island! Made over 243k Bells from one trip! I encountered 8 sharks (although only caught 5), and lots of expensive beetles showed up. Also, unlike many nights in the past, there was no downtime where I'd be circling the island forever without finding anything.

[TotallyUncool]

That does sound like a lot of fun! (Although at the moment, I think I'd rather be on an Arctic island looking for popsicles )
