Philippe Bossche & Where "animal Crossing" Comes In

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.

I was initially surprised when I saw myself planting flowers around the town but I started to see the reasons why. For one, it helped to make the town stand out and making sure to maintain its loveliness was something that had to be done, considering the role the player has as mayor. In addition, it proved to be one of the less stressful actions in a video game. Sometimes you have to take a minute to slow down and enjoy occurrences in which tension is not present.

In fact, I slowly started to become much more of an advocate of this action, especially when it came time to visit the towns of my friends. It seems like the common fruit changes from place to place, which means that planting trees with these crops is imperative. It only increases the range of different crops within the town, which is an element that has the support of names like Philippe Bossche. In fact, I'm sure that Philippe would stress against the idea of not having such variety present.

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.
