Far Beyond The Black Horizon: Episode 4 – Something Fishy

Episode 4 – Something Fishy

Time to see those rat bastards.

If I’ve to earn my way out of here, I need tools.

Shades of Skyrim and Minecraft – although the actual production has more in common with Sims 3.

The recipes are piss easy to use. Click, click, click, and you’re in bang bang bang mode, like repairing and upgrading in Sims 3.

‘I’ve made a flimsy fishing rod, which looks remarkably like a tool box!’

You notice all the Apps that are put on your phone only appear to directly correlate to some material benefit to Tom Nook?

Bet he coded for Apple.

Colour me cynical for imagining that ‘little while’ means five minutes if lucky.

I decided to make a few more items for practice before heading out.

Good to see the graphics and animation team really pushed the boat out here to earn all those £50 for children’s pocket money across the globe (and there goes the fourth wall!)

That last one was a little too ridiculous – sorry!

Took a few goes to get back into the swing of fishing  – it has been six years! –  but good to see my old tactic still works.

If you find fishing frustrating, there is a simple way to land a catch every time.

Once sure the fish is going for the float, look away from the screen and rely on sound only for timing when to press the button and reel that baby in.

Watching the screen makes for trigger happy pressing when you see the float being bumped, losing the fish.

Timing by sound only, the greater disparity between the high pitched float bump plip compared to the pulled underwater gloop is much easier to judge by.

Lyman the Snot Koala seems okay. At least friendly.

Have serious doubts about Renée.

That look of death she gives when saying she was expecting to be the only one on this island makes me think their saifuku tops aren’t coincidence and any day now we’ll be straight into Battle Royale mode.
