Your Ace Farm

My ace farm isn't the wildly gigantic and sprawling one Mark's is. My ace farm is very densely built and organized with roads. I also go for aethetics and want it to look nice. Like, I built a fountain with some benches and surrounded it with banana trees to make a little park between my crops and a pool of tropical fish. It's got to be photogenic. I have an instinct to do that. I'm an exterior decorator. 

Golf with Your Friends

For rewards points this time, but I've played it before. It's a good mini golf game and you can play it online with randos or friends. All I had to do was start it to get the points, so that's all I did. 

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Also for rewards points. I actually had a good time with it through the first two missions. Controls are great and easy to handle. I had to shoot down 15 planes, which I did, but I also shot ground targets in the second mission. You can upgrade you plane or buy new ones as you earn money for successful missions. I was mightily tempted to keep it installed, but I have another game downloading for monthly rewards points and needed the room. 

Farm Together

Vegetable Kabob

Here I am in my tree house waiting for the vegetable kabob to finish cooking. I bought all the items in this kitchen and placed them. The stove lets you cook various foods using your farm's produce. Very cool. My dog is there too. 

I learned just how to increase storage capacity on the farm using various buildings. I added several new barns, and an extra vegetable selling table (forget the term for it at the moment). 

I also saw that there are several processing machines you can buy that turn raw produce into things like jam, textiles, and cheese and also give you ribbons. Ribbons are a rare commodity that you get for completing quests and now for producing certain processed goods. They are in turn used to buy things like a teleportation device to help you get around an inevitably gigantic farm. 

My stone house is stil being built. Once you start a house, it takes several periods of time and resources to build. The stone house takes at least four rounds that cost 6 hours each and hundreds of diamonds, which you get for selling crops. I only just started the second round. I'm sure I'll finish it next week and see what I can furnish it with. 

Mark, of course, is way ahead of me and has built lots of things like the stone house and teleporter (it looks like a bus stop). He's also tackling the weekly challenge which requires a million in cash to complete. My farm isn't big enough yet to generate that much cash. I'm plugging away though. 

I also expanded my permissions to visitors. Hopefully I'll get some more and they'll help me out.

My brother Jeff loves Ace Combat games.  I bought him Ace Combat 7 when it was on sale for 30 bucks a while back.  A lot of the pilot call signs in the games make reference to classic Namco titles.  And one of the characters in one of the Ace Combat games is the Ridge Racer lady's sister.  And depending on who you ask, Ace Combat takes place on the same timeline as Galaga, Dig Dug, and Mr. Driller!  Look up Namco USGF timeline and see what you can find!  It's crazy!

My older brother loves Ace Combat and plane stuff in general as well.

Yeah isn't that crazy?  If you want to read more about the Mr. Driller/Dig Dug connection, be sure to read my new blog I'll be posting tomorrow morning.

Galaga '88 is a heck of a lot of fun.  Did you not see it in arcades back then?  I saw it a lot.

I sure will. 

I've never seen Galaga '88 in the arcades. Wish I had.

Golf with your friends sounds like a lot of fun.

That was pretty good but the courses near the end get needlessly complex. I felt it was almost impossible to get par or better on all the courses without a lot of practice.

I really like flight sim games, but my favorite are WW2 ones. I can't get enough of flying around in dog fights. There's a great PS3 game called Birds of Steel that I really enjoyed.

I really love to try those games, but I hate it when I find myself flying in circles trying to get at that other plane. Maybe bombing missions are more my thing.
