The kind of vanguard of our Animal Crossing team, Gita Jackson. Hi Gita. Hello, I'm Gita and I'm very enthusiastic about Animal Crossing.

We're here to talk mostly about Animal Crossing today. We assembled the best and brightest here at the Waypoint Extended Network Office to talk about Animal Crossing because Kato and I are slowly, slowly, slowly catching up with Gita who wrote a review.

I scrolled through it. I was feeding my cat and trying to grapple with our current reality as I missed it when it was live.

1:29.0

I scrolled through it and I saw the Animal Crossing update which looks super adorable. I got to see a little bit of the info on Bravely II, which is a game I'm really looking forward to.

1:41.0

I didn't beat the first brave. I didn't beat Bravely default but I probably put 20 hours into it and really enjoyed it and then got distracted. I think I maybe moved in the middle of it being around the time that was.

1:55.0

I really enjoyed that first one. I had a second one though where something came up and I didn't get very far through Bravely II.

2:07.0

It was Bravely II and the whole new thing. It was a full sequel.

2:15.0

I think it was a whole new thing, which is why I didn't follow up on it. I did the thing where you know how like saw is a good movie but you don't have time for that.

2:25.0

I did the Wikipedia summary of all of saw and then you watched the ending. I did that. I was like man I love this combat system and I love just grinding combat on the bus but I don't really care about following the story even though I like it.

2:39.0

I ended up just reading a summary of the story and I was like whoa crazy. When I was not going to follow up that same world I was like I'll get to it.

Like the switch is sitting right here next to me. Um, because I downloaded the fucking bravely the fault the fault demo. But now with the added thing of like I'll just pop in for, you know, a little bit of X comm and just.

3:34.0

I when I sit down to play that game like I play a lot of it, um, to the point where like, I gave myself back problems one day just from sitting out of the computer for so long.

3:46.0

Uh, putting it on the switch, meaning I could just go sit on the couch. It's like great. It's a great thing. I just don't like it for me.
