I was making my way over the playground at work today, after a lunchtime stroll to the shops, when I noticed a crack in the ground. For a split-second I was transported into Jo’s and my current favourite DS title, Animal Crossing, and immediately became excited at the prospect of what kind of fossil may be hiding just below the surface.

I was quickly pulled back into the real world, but found the whole experience (whole being about a tenth of a second) bizarre enough to take a picture. Anyone unfamiliar with Animal Crossing (i.e almost everyone) would find this tale either confusing or worrying, as probably would the majority of Animal Crossing players; I’m slightly proud that my brain works in this way.
