I FREAKING LOVE HARVEST MOON. THIS GAME IS THE EPITOME OF ALL THAT IS AWESOME. There's something so wonderfully calming about growing digital crops and raising virtual anime chickens. And you get to ride a horsie and marry a songwriting hippie husband! OMG, SERIOUSLY GUYS, HOW COOL IT THAT??
Sometimes I still fantasize about running a chicken farm someday. It will be a no-kill chicken farm, more of a hobby than a for-profit business, and I'll eat nothing but free range, organic eggs. I might also expand the business to include a small family of ducks. There will also be a pet goat named Billy and a puppy named Gogi. I do realize that Gogi is a tasteless name.
It's a horsie! And a cow!! Awww...so cute. <3
Someone really should write a paper on how the enduring success of this series reflects a post-industrial longing for an idealized agrarian past. Not me though, sorry. I'd rather just play the game.
