Saturday, March 20, 2021: Anniversary Party!

Happy anniversary to Animal Crossing: New Horizons! I started up the game this morning to prepare for my obstacle course event. Sherb sent me a strange letter, and Merengue sent me a thank-you note from her birthday party yesterday.

I spent the morning making a fancy rankings display for our tournament - though we didn't actually end up using it and I never gave away the prizes! Oh well.

And here are a couple pictures I took from the event. The whole thing was livestreamed of course, and I am currently editing it down to take out all the technical difficulties. We ended up playing from 1pm-4:30pm, so it was quite a fun time! The obstacle course, museum tag, DIY trades, and sumo wrestling! All fun classic Animal Crossing experiences in the newest game for Switch. I had five people over, a record for me! We are hoping to have another big party at the start of summer, potentially on someone else's island! Now that Year 1 of the game has gone by and I've experienced everything on my island, I'm okay to check out holidays and other events on friends' islands too.

Here is a link to the trimmed-down livestream.. Hope you're excited for future years with the game to come, and never stop Crossing!
