Animal Crossing New Leaf Message Board older than one year ago

It was a long time coming. I'll tell you why. These creatures have gone into space. They've conquered our lands. They've...actually, I don't know what the *crag* is going on here. And now, finally, they've made their way into Animal Crossing: New Leaf—the low key life simulation game where you become mayor of a town of creatures. Or technically, only one sloth has made it in. Leif. Leif runs the gardening center according to the 3DS Facebook page, which is currently profiling some of the important figures in New Leaf. Shame that kills my dream of having a town full of sloths—I mean, really, as if there's any other animal that matters! Better having Leif than nothing, though. After ignoring them so long...well, Sloths might be cute: But it's a ruse meant to distract us from how easily they could kill us with their claws if they wanted. So yeah, good job, humanity.

Meet Leif from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Leif runs the new gardening center and know his way around the flowers.
