Mog Anarchy's Gaming Blog: February 2017

I am Mog Anarchy, and I like to play games. Whether they are old, new, retro, modern, online, offline, console, computer, critically acclaimed or notoriously bad. Here on my blog, I rant about, review, trash talk, praise and generally talk about all of my favourite and least-favourite games. I also write my own guides on how to accomplish tricky tasks, show off my creative endeavors and challenge myself with crazy in-game tasks. I also have a bunch of gaming merchandise which I am glad to show off. So drop me a comment, I love hearing your questions, criticisms, comments and general gaming discussions. :)

Animal Crossing: New Leaf RVs - Wendell

Today I'm going to show you around the RV of the "starving" artist - walrus Wendell.

Wendell is a local RV, meaning he shows up randomly in your campsite without the use of an Amiibo.

For blogs on other Animal Crossing: New Leaf RVs - click here.

The exterior of Wendell's RV is patterned in blue and tan colours - a nod to the patched and tattered clothes he wore in previous Animal Crossing games.

The interior of Wendell's RV is appropriately themed around his two main loves in life - art; with the papers, crayons, painting and paintball floor, and food - with a table full of goodies.

Japanese Super Mario Stacking Game

Whilst trawling Amazon for some fun things to unbox and review, I found several Japanese import Mario toys - most of them selling for under £10 each with postage - as long as you didn't mind waiting for the package to come from Japan.

Naturally I jumped at the chance and grabbed a couple of them. One of them I bought was this; a stacking game of sorts - in which you balance red, green and clear mushrooms on a warp pipe with a wobbly base.

As I don't speak Japanese, I can't tell you any of the rules or object of the game - but I'm assuming the aim of the game is to see how many of your mushrooms you can stack onto the wobbly warp pipe before it topples over. And as there are 14 clear mushrooms, 4 red mushrooms and 2 green mushrooms - I assume red are worth more points than clear ones and green ones are worth more points than red ones.

It's very well made and the mushrooms themselves are well painted - the warp pipe is sturdy and wobbles pretty well when under the strain of holding multiple mushrooms. Not bad for something that cost me less than £8.

Here's some shots of the box itself - if anybody speaks Japanese and can give me some rough translations of anything this box has written on it - I would be most grateful. :)

And if you wish to hear me make funny noises while attempting to balance all of the mushrooms on the pipe base, here's a video:

Unboxing: Japanese Pokémon Candy

Today I'm going to show you a pair of Pokémon candy/snacks I received from Japan! One is a box of "milk candy," and the other is a Kinder-Surprise style chocolate egg.

Firstly, I had a box of "milk candy." The packaging on this was just amazing - styled after a Master Ball, which even opened up like one once the seal had been broken!

On the inside of the lid, there was a little maze-style puzzle. Under the bag of snacks, I found a collectible sticker - holographic too! The one I got was Mega Blaziken - and it came with some stats on the back - naturally I have no clue what it says, as I don't speak or read Japanese!

To be honest; the snacks themselves were a little disappointing. They tasted like Golden Nuggets cereal that someone had left open for several months. They had a slight crunch to them, but once they were wet in your mouth, they quickly disintegrated into nothing.

Here's some close-ups of the packaging:

Next, I had a chocolate surprise egg. It was rather a small box - and didn't come with any bonus goodies inside, but of course, the main prize was inside the chocolate egg itself!

The chocolate was pretty good, a mixture of sweet and creamy and yet it had a mildness to it - like it was a candy specifically made for children. Well duh. :)

The figure inside, according to my Twitter followers is Zygarde 10% Forme. It was fairly simple to build and comes with a nice display stand - which personally I don't think it needs, as it can stand on its own feet - but perhaps other figurines in the set can't.

I'm feeling a little hacked off, as one of the available figures was ESPEON - my FAVOURITE Pokémon - but noooo, I couldn't get that one, could I?!

Glitchfest: Oblivion's Floating Bush

You're probably sick of me going on about glitches in Bethesda games - but there's just so many of them! Here's a challenge for you - play through a Bethesda game and see how long you last before you encounter a glitch - choose your difficulty level:

Fallout 3 - Easy

Oblivion - Medium

Fallout: New Vegas - Hard

Skyrim - Very Hard

Anyway...

While playing through Oblivion, I found a random bush out in the middle of the countryside, floating. I couldn't get it to move either - seeing as how your characters just pass through bushes when you walk into them. As the Oblivion map is so enormous, I never encountered this bush again - but I bet it's still there... floating.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf RVs - K.K. Slider

Today I'm going to show you around the RV of everyone's favourite guitar-playing dog - K.K. Slider. Please bear in mind - K.K. has two different RVs - his DJ K.K. one (which is a local RV) and his K.K. Slider one (which is an Amiibo RV.)

K.K. Slider is an Amiibo RV, meaning he requires the use of his Amiibo in order to appear.

For blogs on other Animal Crossing: New Leaf RVs - click here.

The exterior of K.K. Slider's RV is decorated with a monochrome black and white pattern and is adorned with music notes.

The interior of K.K. Slider's RV gives off the vibe of a hipster apartment to me - with the bare walls and floorboards, adorned with vinyl record covers and instruments strewn around. His outfit here also screams hipster.
