Can we all stop and take a moment to reflect on the fact this game was supposed to come out in 2019? For a game that is largely about connecting, to be delayed to March 20th, just as quarantines and social distancing were being widely observed is like, higher-power levels of coincidence. It's like the planet is once again seeking balance. Anyways. The amount of detail and care in this game is staggering. One of the animations I'm currently in awe of is when my character (me) hops off the ladder. I climb down to the third rung, take my right foot off the ladder, and jump down. We all do this! And it is accurately represented in the game. I would hazard to say most developers would've just had the character climb down to the ground and called it good. I also think the pacing is just right for me. I like unlocking things through tasks, and getting to explore more of my island after getting the museum was nice. Then, when scouting out housing lots for new villagers, I unlocked the ladder recipe and thus more of my island. The progression feels good and steady. --- I've been posting videos of my favorite moments on Twitter with the hashtag #ACWhimsy. Whimsy is the name of my island.

My daughter is 4 and is really getting into gaming. She loves Mario odyssey so I figured Animal Crossing would be enjoyable for her. So far she loves catching butterflies and fishing. Today we decided to play together and in an attempt to catch a butterfly she hit Sylvia the kangaroo in the head. Naturally she found this hilarious so I had to join in. The residents get very mad and refuse to talk to you after awhile, but it's worth it. We've had nonstop fun with lots of laughter so far in this game. Worth every penny if we can have this much fun together. Stay safe, have fun, let's gooooo

Howdy cohorts, As someone who has never touched an Animal Crossing game before, and almost always bounces off of sim games like this, I’m. Obsessed. With. New. Horizons. So much to gush about in this game, but I think my favorite thing is the writing? Treehouse always does a good job localizing, but they really knocked this one out of the park. Each character has such a specific and distinct flavor to their dialogue, and all the jokes and puns are adelight. I’d love to hear the all your favorite character interactions/bits of writing you’ve encountered so far. Mine is probably Saharah, the camel that sells you carpeting and wallpaper. Her phrasing is so weird and obtuse and only something you’d find in a Nintendo game. Keep up the good work!

Travis Brinkley

I don’t really have a lot of thoughts so I’ll keep it short. Did anyone notice that the DIY menu has a “miscellaneous” category and an “other” category?

Brian Londergan

One thing I love about this game is how it subtly includes nods to the older games. One immediately noticeable reference is the ability to play with the original GameCube camera angle by tilting the right stick up. Another one I chuckled at was Blathers mentioning he wasn't able to get approval to build a museum without any exhibits, which is the default state of the museum in any other Animal Crossing game

James Smith

Not very in depth or anything, but I love those little dialogue nuances the characters have, like how the Nooks always say "Yes, yes!"

Matt McKenna

So this is my first time playing Animal Crossing. I have a friend who’s the biggest fan of this series and has been trying very hard to sell me on the series. I’ve now put about 16 hours in for the first 3 days it’s been out. Needless to say I’m hooked because the gameplay loop is so satisfying. My question is what’s your daily ACNH routine at this point? Usually I just dry my island of resources sell all the excess and then just fish and grab bugs until I feel content.

Mike Lynch

I love the small tweaks they've made since New Leaf: -Changing hairstyles on the fly -Auto collecting the fruit to one location in your pocket -The deep plunging sound they added to the fish taking the bait has made that game easier for my daughter -And the BEST PART? The rustling of the wind through the leaves. ASMR masterstroke.

Bdun912

I have played my fair share of animal crossing and I feel like this new one has a ton of great improvements BUT is it just me or is there very little incentive to talk to the animals? Am I missing something?

t00thr0t

I love how the villagers refer to what’s happening in the world. Like Cherry gave me a leaf umbrella on the first day or so. And when it rained and I talked to her while holding the umbrella she was like “glad the umbrella is working out for ya!”. I had multiple little interactions like that and I’m always happy when it happens.

Mike Lynch

It feel like that so far, but they've been helping me with small tasks like collecting iron nuggets. Plus the more you interact the more new clothes and items they give you.

Forest Gerlach

So far, I'm really enjoying New Horizons a lot! I've played Animal Crossing games since the first one on Gamecube, so before I even set a tent down, I immediately crafted a flimsy rod and started pacing the small section of beach allotted to you at the start. Weird as it is, few things are as satisfying to me as fishing out a bunch of squids and sea bass with the occasional red snapper and barred knifejaw. I realize that it's super inefficient compared to farming out sharks or coelacanths, and I'll probably fall into that trap after a couple months. But right now, it's been super gratifying to eschew min-maxing in favor of the simple thrill of the gill for reasons I can't fully explain :-)

Nognaught

Heya, been enjoying the game but it needs to be said that... Timmy Nook has some gosh darn NERVE to ask for a 30 iron 'donation' only to name his shop after the president of this island - his own father, seems like corruption to me

Andrea Dimitracopoulos

I got this game for my partner - it's her first AC game, and she is loving it so far. I asked her for some feedback for the Deepest Dive, and she said: "Getting a house in Animal Crossing made up for our real-life house purchase falling through! #coronavirus". There you go! :)

TInh Nguyen

Hey Crossers, This is my first AC since the GameCube, as i think it would be for many others as well. AC is showered with cute, and funny moments from making a deal with the an aggressive business Raccoon to helping a clumsy tired Seagull. But one of the more funny moments that made me smile every time are the funny quotes that are connected to fish/bugs I caught. The one that got me was a fish called "Pale Chub" and the quote for it was "That name seems a bit judgy." AC has so many moments like these, and as i progress my island i know that more of these moments will show up. What we're the cute/funny moments in the game that really stood out to you and if you remember which is your favorite quote from the specimens you caught. Keep up the amazing work, Tinh from Vancouver, Canada. P.S Cool to hear from Sarah again, miss her on the 8-4 play podcast.

Nognaught

Hi extended cohort, I've been loving the multiplayer in this game so much - whilst I would normally be disgruntled by the fact that you have to stop what you're doing and watch a loading screen everytime someone joins or leaves the island, it's instead a fun little pause where you get to listen to an absolute BOP of a lobby theme. Dont get me wrong, I love KK slider as much as the next guy, but I want whoever wrote that song to be on my island, by far the biggest banger in the soundtrack so far. Cheers, xo

Jeorin

Loving this game so far, and have found a few great little things: 1. Clamming - I have done this in real life, so seeing the little squirts in the sand brought back some fun memories. If only it were as easy to catch them in real life as it is in this game... 2. The lighting is fantastic, especially in the museum. The fossil exhibit in particular uses lighting to great effect. My T-Rex skeleton is lit in a way that gives it a truly eerie appearance. 3. Being able to shake trees with your net out is the best. I'm never getting stung again! 4. The fact that you can learn recipes for and repurpose the trash items is wonderful. It's great that they are teaching positive behavior like this, instead of treating these items like useless garbage. I just watched a documentary yesterday where someone was harvesting human waste for precious metals. Just shows anything can be reused or recycled with enough effort.

My little sister and I have adored this series together since the GameCube days (memory card included in the box) when my mum bought it for her birthday, not knowing a thing about it but just thinking it looked pretty cute. We fell in love with that quirky and cozy game pretty quickly and became obsessed through DS, Wii and 3DS too. This time, I bought the new AC Switch and gave my sister my launch-model so we have an island each. We’re never big into the multiplayer in these games but seem to just enjoy it “around” each other- like, we’ve been playing on the same couch every day, swapping who plays docked or portably every now and then, saying things like, “hey this fish sells for heaps” or, “reckon this is a good spot for a house?” We’re 23 and 20 now but it feels just like the good old days! As much as New Leaf and Happy Home Designer were fantastic, the vibe of the series had changed just slightly for me there. I can’t quite place why but I wanna say it was too much city-life and perfected-cuteness whereas now I feel like we’re back to nature on these deserted islands that have an atmosphere more akin to the forested acres of old. Taking the series’ gameplay systems of what’re mostly just variations of placing and picking up things and making them much more integral to progression is just the perfect idea for the series – as is pulling the starting point from the original, “here’s your house now go meet all your neighbours and the musical dog will be here Saturday night enjoy” aaallllll the way back to just having a tent, two villagers and a whole big canvas of an island to work with from the ground up. All the fishing, tree-shaking and flower-arranging that I would gladly do for hours in an AC game anyway are more meaningful now and it seems like it all ties together better than ever. It’s almost like a Breath of the Wild mentality of stripping things back and giving you the tools to explore this world how you want. I was curious how well the game would do sales-wise specifically in a Switch-trendy, post-Stardew world. I feel like the landscape for this kind of series has changed a lot in recent years with people being more down for “cute” or, once upon a time, “girly” games that are totally for everyone to get really hardcore into. It warms my heart seeing so many people playing it every time I’m on my Switch. Which is always now, by the way. I’ve been waking up earlier to play this game and going to bed like a freakin’ kid on Christmas Eve who can’t sleep because he’s too excited for the next day. PS: Tybalt the tiger lives on my island, he was my best bud on GameCube, crazy! Also I can’t waaaiiit to unlock the hourly theme tunes I’ve been DYING to hear them. Alright that was long, thanks Minnmax, love ya lots!

Shawn Mills

Working in the healthcare industry this game is great for getting small chunks of joy after working long sad days. Im happy just making small improvements and watching my island slowly improve. My wife who doesnt normally game absolutely loves it and its nice to have something we can play together. I dont have an online subscription, is it worth it to visit other islands?

Mário Moh

My first AC ever! RANDOM TIDBITS: Started at Southern hemisphere with cherries as native fruit, a blue-roof airport (apparently that’s a thing?) and with Billy, the zen exercise addicted goat, and Reneigh, the horse with stylish mane. It’s been a joy! My only beef with this game is with the online experience, a tad too rudimentary for my liking. Is it a Nintendo system thing or a AC thing? Tried to connect with people online through the Dodo Codes I found on one of those Reddit Megathreads. Got a bunch of ‘interference’ for what felt like 30 minutes, having to go through all the menus each time, until I finally managed to hook with someone. After a cavalcade of loading screens I landed on the island and then the fun began! Up to the moment I exited their airport and the game displayed a green textbox saying there was a new player inbound. Cue another assortment of loading screens and downtime. Rinse and repeat because I was the second visitor to step on that island and in about five minutes there were another 4. Then the fun began! I mean, up to the moment when people start leaving the island… And my gosh it’s the same ordeal! I guess it falls on that old topic. Why is it not a bigger thing? Is it just a case of Nintendo getting a pass? Lastly, it’s a shame that I can’t offer the full experience to my non-gaming girlfriend given the ‘only one island to Switch’ limitation. I don’t wish to dwell on the negatives though. This game is a joy! That said, MinnMax Discord is a gem of a community and AC is a gem of a community games. I was never the ace of my classroom when it came to connecting dots but shouldn’t there be a line between these two things? Like… a channel dedicated to the game on MinnMax’s Discord server? Just saying!

Finally got the game today (Monday) after the post got delayed on Friday and damn if it isn’t good to be back. Main point though: the language. I’ve always just accepted it, but What is it? Some words sort of sound like the words they are. Like even my created named KINDA sounds like it and the letters vaguely sound the same. Is it Japanese sped up and pitch shifted? Is it the English? HELP ME MINNMAX WHAT IS THIS LANGUAGE???

Ben Fitter

This is my first Animal Crossing game, so I'm unfamiliar with what all is new in this game compared to previous entries, but here are some small things I love: - The footstep sounds and how they change across different surfaces and movement speeds. - The dad jokes that come up when you catch a bug or fish. - The music that plays during commemoration ceremonies (museum, bridge, etc.). - The synchronized ping and controller vibration when your NookPhone gets an alert. - All the Nook Inc. merchandise and apparel. - Timmy and Tommy following you around the store. - Villagers commenting on your clothing choices. - The illustrations in the Critterpedia. - Blathers' fun facts about each donation. - The branching evolutionary paths on the floor of the museum fossil section. - Tom Nook's little putting practice mat in Resident Services. Also a couple small things I don't love: - I feel like the inventory could be a littler bigger, even after upgrading. I find myself having to return to sell things just slightly more frequently than I want to. - I wish you could select tools from the wheel using the right stick instead of the left stick. Overall I'm really liking the game after a few days with it. Being able to layout and design the whole island appeals to the same side of me that got hooked on Roller Coaster Tycoon back in the day.

Bob Buel

Ok so here are multiple thoughts I've had since playing Animal Crossing. This is my first AC game, so pardon if some of these are franchise staples but I never knew it. -Did anyone else meet the ghost?! I found a friggin ghost! His name is Wisp, looks almost identical to a Boo from Mario lore, but it scattered off into 5 pieces when I scared it with my butterfly net because I didn't know how to interact with it. The mechanic of hunting down the five pieces of Wisp was pretty similar to the other gameplay, but enough to make me realize that this island is more than just cutesy animals and fruit trees. Now I want to find more secrets. -How amazing is it that the Dodo at the counter of the Dodo Airlines just waves his wings wildly in the general direction of the keyboard when he is supposed to be typing. The designers clearly had to choose between realistic and have his wings hit the keys or charming and having him just wiggle in front of the keys, and they went with charming every time. I love it. -Gulliver, the stranded seagull that washes up on your shores, says "Aww sardines" when he notices his communicator breaks. I want "Aww sardines" to be part of my normal lexicon now. -Maybe I'm just in love with the puns of this game, but Blathers is my favorite right now. After an analysis of a dino skull he says "Hoo knew?" He threw out the line "Back to the matter at wing." He says "Any-hoot" when he gets distracted in his explanations. And to top it all off, he has an argyle pattern chest feathers. Throw in a bow tie and an understandable hatred of bugs, and I want Blathers to move in as a roommate. -Is it as satisfying for anyone else to use that Dragon Ball power pole to cross the rivers? Just feels powerful.

This is my first time playing an AC game and my wife is playing with me(also her first AC game). We are both really loving it. My one issue is that I'm a little torn on the fact the you have to share an island if multiple people are playing on the same Switch. On one hand, we like working together to build up the island, but on the other hand there are small quirks that almost make the game feel competitive. For example we don't share DIY recipes, so if I find one first, she can't have it and vice versa. The villagers on the island also give me gifts, but have never given her any. We make it work and just share or craft items for each other, but I can't imagine being a kid and trying to play this game with my siblings.

CANAS1AN

Submitting on behalf of my wife. My wife caught a football fish. She discovered that if you place the fish in a tank, you can turn on and off the light on it's head. also at night time, her butterflies in the butterfly garden at the museum got sleepy and she said it is sooooo cute. Cheers!

I don't know if it's my own maturation or what, but I've found that the time-based systems are very refreshing and well-paced, at least for the first few days of playing. As much as I want to see buildings built immediately, the idea of having to go and scavenge materials and then give it time, knowing I'll see it the next day, is super rewarding and keeps me looking forward to playing daily. Especially as a working adult, during the week I know I'm going to have limited times to play, but I know the game will present me with enough for whatever amount of time I have available. If it's the weekend and I have more time, there's always more scavenging to do and more to build and sell. When I was younger and playing the original, I probably wouldn't have had the patience for this, but now it all feels immaculately paced. Also, the first two times I played at night I ran into tarantulas and fainted. 10/10 would play again.

Garrett Peters

My fiancè is a first time villager (and she says hi Ben Hanson!!!) And she finds the tarantulas terrifying! She was visiting an island and it was FILLED with tarantulas, she ran (in game) screaming (in real life) and ultimately was taken down....many times. Have you and the Deepest Dive crew experienced the horrors of the tarantula hoards that haunt islands?

Andrew Burnes

I haven't played an Animal Crossing game since Wild World on the DS, so I expected to get a nostalgic rush from this game but I honestly can't believe how much fun I'm having with it. Little things from rumble feedback when fishing to bigger additions like the Nook Mile system are all fantastic, but I think what I'm most struck by with this game is how impressed I am with the visual style, particularly at night. The way the moonlight glints off of the rivers and the wind rustles the leaves of the trees is just sublime. Nintendo doesn't get a lot of credit for it since their consoles are so comparatively underpowered, but man they might just have the best art team in the industry. Can't wait to listen to this Deepest Dive!

Andrew Burnes

Also, I've got to say this NookMiles system is brilliant. I doubt I would have taken the time to line up a great picture or, hell, spend the better part of a half hour recreating the Final Fantasy VII meteor logo in the Custom Design tool if I wasn't going to get rewarded for it, but I had a shocking amount of fun doing it. These are the types of experiences that really make you sit back and say "video games are awesome."

Tadatoo

The game’s little details are really great. Everything from the wind blowing to dry laundry to using the toilet to reduce your fruit level. A small little detail I noticed was seeing being able to jump “corners” of the ponds without the vaulting stick. I don’t know when that would be useful but the fact they have a small animation for that is really neat.

MickManga

The vaulting pole might just be my favorite new tool. There's something very fun about vaulting over rivers. I'm I the only one that thinks of Luke Skywalker the first time I used it?

Fred Dinovo

Howdy folks, Two very specific things I enjoy about this game: 1) I like how if you miss a bug with the net they don't immediately go into the "disappear animation". As an example in New Leaf if you miss catching that butterfly by a bit they'll detect you and fly away. In New Horizons, however, I can miss that bug two or three times and still manage to catch it. 2) When you leave Nook's Cranny Timmy and Tommy will no longer engage you in conversation before you leave. They (and Tom in the original few games) used to have a text box pop up that you would have to acknowledge, but now they just have word bubbles pop above their head thanking you for coming in, this doesn't slow down the player and is such a minor, but appreciated, improvement.

Fred Dinovo

Oh one more thing I like that I'm not sure if it is in the previous games, but it is clear to me Gulliver's shipmates don't like him and I believe threw him off the ship. Based purely off what he says when you talk to him it just seems like he is oblivious to them disliking the adorable oaf.

Tim Lorow

My favorite characters so far is the folks down at Dodo Airlines. Wilbur not only has the best voice in the game but endearingly spells out words using radio speak (Lets go November Oscar Whiskey!). I also enjoy the inventory challenge of going to a deserted island and maximizing the worth of the stuff in my pockets.

Donnie

I don’t have a Switch, but I’ve really enjoyed people sharing their experiences on twitter and joking with and on each other; especially prior and current members of the GI crew! Seems like this is the perfect game for the time we find ourselves in when time with your friends is even more precious.

Nognaught

Alrighty, so Im in the southern hemisphere - because of this, I've been catching different fauna to almost everyone else out there playing, one of these was a great white shark. My mind was blown when I caught both the shark & a suckerfish and I saw that in the museum the suckerfish just swims slightly below the shark ( as they do in real life where they stick to a host). Anywho, this was a cool detail and the museum rocks

Nick M

Like everyone else, I've found Animal Crossing to be a good escape from current real-world events. However, while traveling to my first few deserted islands on the second day, I invited any animals to come live with me and build up my population. One of these animals was Raddle, a frog with a nervous expression who constantly wears a surgical mask. The Pocket Camp profile for Raddle says: "Raddle wears that mask all year round, but nobody knows why. Is he a doctor? Does he have a cold? Could it be his supervillain disguise?!" While I would prefer to keep real world anxieties and my in-game life separate, I suppose if none of the inhabitants of my island are going to be practicing social distancing, at least one is responsible enough to stay protected and stop the spread.

Duderado

While I was exploring a deserted island I hit a tree and got attacked by a swarm of angry wasps. I'm an AC newbie so I didn't know how to handle it without running indoors so I tanked the hit and received a swollen eye. Later on that day while walking around my island Nookshire I stopped to talk to my good robot chicken buddy Sprocket. He said I was looking worse for wear and gave me a DIY recipe for medicine to cure my heinous-looking eye! This experience is a perfect example of something I love in this game - discovery without tutorials. You learn by playing the game. When I got stung the game didn't spam me with a prompt about what happened and how to fix it. I naturally stumbled upon the solution by simply playing the game my way. So far the game has been full of situations like that - like when I learned you can fill a hole by tapping Y instead of using your shovel. These may be small parts of the game but it adds to the overall relaxed feel and charm that keeps me coming back 4 days in a row!

James Smith

I love how you can actually learn stuff from donating fossils to Blathers. Turns out the diamond shaped plates on a Stegosaurus' back were made of bone, but weren't actually connected to the skeleton. They just grew out of the skin, though their purpose is still a mystery. Who knew!? Also, is his name Blathers because he's always blathering about fossils?

Anna Zhang

This is my first and only Animal Crossing game and I've been loving it so far! My favorite thing is the museum. So many games have collectibles but this is the first one I've played where the things you collect actually enhances the game world. I love how well laid out the museum is and how you can look at all the displays. Not to mention all the little details like the butterfly hatchery and the submarine display. It feels like a zoo, aquarium, and natural history museum all rolled into one. And you get to participate in building it! I wish all games made their collectible grind as fun and interesting as this. That said, my least favorite thing are the wasps..... I really hope there's a way to deal with them. Yes I know to equip the net when shaking trees to deal with them but every time I've been stung has been when I was chopping wood. There's simply no time to switch to the net and catch them and you can't run away from them fast enough most of the time. The frequency at which they spawn is also very annoying. I've been keeping all the wasp nests to count the number of times I get hit everyday (and for the medicine) and the record is 6 right now! Does anyone have a good method to keep from getting stung when chopping wood???? Looking forward to the discussion on this awesome game!

Adam W

Just wanted to say that I did not read or watch any preview content or reviews before getting the game. I played a lot of Wild World, a good bit of City Folk, and some New Leaf. Learning the new mechanics in New Horizons first hand has been a delight. Eventually I’ll look up a guide or “Top 10 Hidden Secrets” List but for now I’m playing it slow and steady and learning new things day by day. And it’s a blast! Stay home, stay happy, stay safe and stay healthy MinnMax! AdamWalkerSomethingRanger

So at the beginning of the year if you would have asked me what my GOTY was going to end up being I would have said FF7 Remake no question. While I still feel that will end up being the case, the excellence of Animal Crossing mixed with the unprecedented state of the world right now, it seems like this game has really taken the world by storm and the consensus is that it was the perfect game to come out during these very unique times. Do you think, with all these things combined, that Animal Crossing will end up being a VERY serious GOTY contender? While the franchise has been beloved for a long time, I don't recall any entry ever being in the greater conversation for consensus Game of the Year.

Mark Cruz

Hello Ben and friends. You said be specific so I will. The way they spread out content over each day is masterful and makes you look forward to playing tomorrow. Example I made 3 houses at once. But they slowly added the people day by day instead of having it so since I finished them all in one day the next day they will all move in. Nope one at a time that’s puck day(penguin villager name) and you should spend your day getting to know puck not all 3

Shuffleguy

Dear Ben and the disciples of the New Horizon. Do you all think the current pandemic is a scheme by Tom Nook for his business model? (But without joking, I think the current pandemic is skyrocketing AC:NH sales, mostly digital)

Shuffleguy

This game is teaching me so many things in life I didn't know. For instance, I know thought bamboo was just the sticks, but the top looks just like a tree when fully grown. Mind is blown

It's Hugo's Nook

Curious: what is you guy's default camera style? I'm mostly a low angle/rolling hills style, only ever going top down when customizing and fishing in rivers

micspam

As a *long time* Animal Crossing fan (10~ hours AC:PG/Mobile, 50+ rest) to me the most interesting change so far has been how many incentives for time skipping have been removed from the game. Balloons are much more common than they were before (common enough to be dailies), rare fish/bugs are much easier to get (Coelacanths, anyone?) and visitors are a daily things, rather than a surprising thing. (Still have Saharah PTSD from NL. She had to come to your town 4 times before you could get the last shop upgrade). Additionally, with the dailies and the island explorations, you run out of things to do much later. I'm also really enjoying how word-of-mouth everything is right now. Plenty of other *hardcore* Animal Crossing friends of mine are sharing information about this game that nobody else knew, and wasn't easily accessible online. Meanwhile more casual friends are able to be a part of the conversation in a way that's not normally possible when a large group of people is all playing the same game. Not to beat a dead horse here, but the release window so far has felt like the Strand Game experience that Death Stranding tried to be. Also, has "Breath of the Wild like" become the new euphemism for "your tools break"? Because jeeze louise, amirite?

Mason Cowell

My favorite super specific thing in the game is the character's little hop animation when he or she squeezes between two objects.

Tanner Hoisington

Do you guys think of the lore implications of these familiar faces just moving to a deserted island? Why in the world would Blathers leave his nice museum from New Leaf and set up the world's fanciest museum and aquarium on an island with a population of 5? Is Tom Nook running his real estate empire from his phone? How do they all have a network signal? I'm just asking questions here.

Matthew Wogksch

Holy crap do I have thoughts. First, this is my first animal crossing game and I am an idiot for ignoring before. Fun story: The first day I moved all of the NPCs away from me because I wanted have my own space, especially since I am quarantined with my wife and two kids. However, the very next day my six year old says to me “Dad, I started my own game on your island and moved right next to you!” So I am quarantined with my six year old in real life and video game life. Specifics thoughts Blathers... the freaking best. I LOVE how he hates bugs but will still give you facts about them. His factoids are interesting as well. I usually give all my new donations to him one at a time so I can listen to his stories.
