Animal Crossing - DS

I have never been this addicted to video games until this past Christmas my bf (now fiance) bought me a DS. In case you don't know what's a DS, it's a portable Nintendo console. I am pretty sure you know what's a Game Boy, right? Well, a DS is an advanced version of it, so to speak.

To those that know about the game "Animal Crossing", I did something really stupid funny tonight and I just had to write about it.

I was bored waiting for time to pass so I was digging around for no reason with my shovel. I had always wondered if I dig a hole and not patch it up, would the hole stay there forever? So I was about to dig one to see and by chance Walker the dog passed by. I came up with the idea of digging around the dog to trap it! That way if I saw the dog somewhere else after a while, I would know the holes patched it by themselves!! It took me a while to dig holes around the dog faster than it walking. I did it finally. Just to be safe I even dig "few layers" of holes around those that trapped it. Below is the illustration:



Few moments later I was wandering around town and suddenly, I saw the dog also wandering around not too far away!! How did it get out??!?! I ran to the "scene" and saw all my holes still there! So I guess whoever that programmed this game was smart enough to not let people like me tortune the poor dog...

That is a user discovered bug, obviously the software has not been tested thoroughly enough!

to be more exact, u have a DS "Lite"....not DS (DS is the older version which is bigger in size and not as "ying" as DS Lite)...

based on your pic, i guess the dog jump on the tree and then jump down on the other side to escape all the holes u dig?

Sarah, you will be a good QA as you sure test out something the game designer has not thought of... haha...
