So a few weeks ago I decided to get into my old Animal Crossing: Wild World game.
I noticed that every single time I start the game, all I do is find the daily"money rock," check out Nook's shop, and catch a few bugs and fish along the way. It always gets too repetitive after about two weeks, then I leave the game alone for a while until I miss it and reset it again. Every now and then, a holiday would pop up and things would get different. The waiting time in between is too long though.

I decided to do it differently this time...

This time, I planned on one goal-get the golden tools.
More specifically, the golden watering can.
As soon as I got into the game, I mapped out all the acres and bought as many flowers as I can day after day.
It took me about five days to go through the whole "Perfect Town" process (if you haven't played Animal Crossing, or don't know about a Perfect Town then LOOK IT UP!) After achieving the Perfect Town status all I had to do was keep it perfect for sixteen days.

Day one went great! So did Day 2...and Day 3.
Not to mention how much hybrid flowers I got on Days 4, 5, and 6.

Everything was as it should be, up until Day 13 (thirteen is an unlucky number).

That was when some weird system glitch or screw-up reset the clock on my DS.
That means, I was playing Animal Crossing on January 1st, 2000.
I switched off my DS without thinking when I saw the date (I can't believe I didn't think the snow was suspicious),
then jumped up 10 years to May 1st, 2010.

The result: A nice lecture from Resetti and a whole lot of weeds. (Ten years worth of weeds)

On top of that, I was so frustrated that I reset my whole town right away...forgetting that I still had other mini-goals like the stash of money I saved, and all I donated to the museum!

...I felt sad.
And Resetti's pep-talk didn't help much.
