ok, ok...to start off, yes, Gifford is calling Alex: Sasuke. I need to tell you, that when Yoshimi and I play Harvest moon, we tend to call everyone (almost) a name from Naruto. I.E.:

Alex= Sasuke

Ray= neji (Even though we just call him hyuga)

Tai= Shino (He has some issues with fat people...)

Kurt= Shikamaru but he reminds me more of Hiei from Yu YU Hakusho...

Joe= ok, Joe is just Joe...

Carl is a jerk and dose not get to be someone else...

Dan= kiba

Louis= Itachi (When I'm playing by myself, he is a natural choice!)

Gwen= Ino

Nami= Is gaara. Just look at her...She looks like Gaara! Usually we just
pretend Nami is a boy...

I think thats everyone....anyway, We also give the character their own personality, and make them talk and say things to them. Of course, they can't here us or answer us, but it's still fun to pretend...Anyway, I'm glad I can show you, with Yo-sensei's help, what it's like in our little world. I hope you read the series of shorts we are putting on this site...
