Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries: Ep. 10 Animal Crossing and a City Full of Expensive Applebees

Episode 10

26th August 2020

SWIMMING IS COMING TO ANIMAL CROSSING.  Austin tells us all about Nintendo's Animal Crossing series; about how bonkers its sales numbers are, how New Horizons has become a tool for communication in Hong Kong, and about how you should never watch the animal crossing anime movie because it's very very bad.

Also, Blathers, please, if you're listening, just take my fossils for your private collection.  Just do it.  I get that you're trying to show me you're the bigger man, but it you don't take them right now, they're just going to end up on the black market.  Just…stop talking to me and take the fossils PLEASE.
