Animal Crossing (どうぶつの森 Dōbutsu no Mori, lit. "Animal Forest"), is a community simulation video game series developed and published by Nintendo, in which the human player lives in a village inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, carrying out various activities including fishing, bug catching, etc. The series is notable for its open-ended gameplay and extensive use of the game systems' internal clock and calendar to simulate real passage of time. Four Animal Crossing games have been released worldwide, one each for the GameCube, Nintendo DS, Wii, and the Nintendo 3DS. The series has been both critically and commercially successful and has sold 23.711 million units worldwide. Two new games, titled Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, have been released for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U respectively; both are spin-offs of the series and they were released in 2015.
In all of the Animal Crossing games, the player assumes the role of a human character, who moves into a rural village populated with anthropomorphic animals and lives there indefinitely. Gameplay is open-ended: players have no defined objectives, but are instead encouraged to spend their time in the village performing any number of activities, which include collecting items, planting plants or other items, and socializing with the village's residents. All Animal Crossing games are played in real time, utilizing the system's internal clock and calendar. Thus, passage of time in the game world reflects that in reality, as well as the current season and time of day. Some in-game events, such as holidays or the growth of a tree, occur at certain times or require some duration of time to have passed.
Roald was, around the year 1450, Lawman (or Lawspeaker) of the Faroe Islands.
Little is known about Roald, apart from that he had a farm in Dalur, and that he probably originated from Shetland.
In G.V.C. Young's textbook, Færøerne – fra vikingetiden til reformationen, Roald is not named. However, in the Lagting's official list of First Ministers, he is included.
Kamikaze seagull planes
Fighting over chip shop take-away remains
When you're walking on the cliffs
You can't help thinking of how far down the sea is
And what if it should give...
I didn't mean to bring you down
Summer's over, seaside town
She says we shouldn't have come so far
This seaside town, summer's over.
Empty pubs echo with sounds
Jukebox selections that keep going round and round
And maybe rain is all we need
To come and wash the summer rubbish off the beach
Oh, let's just go to sleep!
I didn't mean to bring you down
Summer's over, seaside town
She says we shouldn't have come so far
This seaside town...
[CHORUS]
In the back of the arcades
Kids borrow money to play one more final game
While mothers wait in family cars
I wonder why we ever chose to come so far
But I wish you wouldn't ask...
I didn't mean to bring you down
Summer's over, seaside town
She says we shouldn't have come so far
This seaside town...
[CHORUS]
This summer's over, seaside town,
This seaside town, summer's over,
Summer's over...
