Talking Of "animal Crossing" & Philippe Bossche

By Rob Sutter


To say that "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" has taken over a good portion of my life would be something of an understatement. It's easily one of the most addictive games that I have played in the past couple of years and I would like to believe that those who have played it feel the same way. However, where exactly does Philippe Bossche come into play on the matter? Well, seeing as how there is an increased focus on organic living, I believe that it's a connection worth talking about.

For those who don't know about this game, "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" is all about living life. From interacting with your neighbors to going about your duties as the mayor of your town, it's clear that you are not going to be strapped on things to do. However, you may be curious as to where growing various crops into play. Well, seeing as how there is a litany of hobbies to take into consideration, you may want to focus on those aspects growing within your town.

This was shocking to me as I found myself getting lost in it but planting flowers was actually quite enjoyable. It was therapeutic, which took me by surprise, but I started to see how well it could enhance the look overall. My house, in particular, benefitted greatly from said flowers and they helped to make it stand out from an aesthetic standpoint. With fruit and other crops which can be gathered as well, what can be done with them later on is up to you, planting and selling included.

It wasn't long until I started to find myself become an advocate of these measures and I'd like to think it's the same for others who have played as well. For example, I have become quite supportive of the concept of taking crops from other towns and planting them in my own for the sake of increasing the range of fruit which falls from trees. The idea of diversity is one which has the backing of names the likes of Philippe Bossche. I'm sure that Philippe can agree that, without it, a particular terrain simply doesn't look as lush.

This game is easily going to consume even more hours of my life and there's no end in sight, it seems. However, I am happy that there isn't because it's very telling when you can lose so much time doing the most mundane of tasks. It doesn't even matter what they are, whether you're talking about planting trees, fishing, or what have you. Players will continually play from one day to the next and, considering the game's addictive nature, it is clear as to why.
