Splatoon is Nintendo's unique twist on the shooter genre. Shoot ink on both your friends and environments to win the match! Players can turn into squids and 'swim' through their team's ink color. Players can also use their team's ink color to slow down enemy movement. It's ink or be inked in this chaotic marriage of third person shooters, de Blob, and good ole fashioned paintball.
Playing for the Decepticons. My team won a ton of games!… except I kept getting connection errors every few match. Very annoying. Rebooting the router and modem didn't help.
Booooooo! You know, everytime I played during the splat fest I noticed a few instances where a teammate would do absolutely nothing during a round. Like the were AFK. I wonder if you sneaky Decepticons chose the other side on purpose!
It's amazing how many people think that madly charging towards a splatling gun user with guns blazing and no attempt at stealth is going to end well for them.
@pokepal148 That thing is deadly. I really dislike how it gets thrown far in front of you, especially with no arc!! Why is it the only sub with no arc? Once it's down it's a very nice barrier you can slip under unexpectedly. It's a great tool.
I saw the commercial during Fear the Walking Dead (which is fucking amazing btw), which seems like a great sign to me. Saw a peek of that level that looks to take place on a ship? Looks incredible.
Anyone plan on playing tonight? I'll probably go on around 10pm ET. I'm trying to figure out if I like the Bamboozler or not. It's a fun weapon to use but kinda tricky as well. I think it's because of being so used to play with the other chargers that it makes this one so difficult to use since you really have to change your strategies around for it to work. I really do like how fast it is though but also hate how it makes maneuverability kind of hard in certain instances. The ink lines that it fires can be inconsistent or thing making travelling difficult up walls. I feel like it wastes some time to get where I want to get at times. I'll probably keep trying it a bit more and see how I feel about it though!
EDIT: Oh apparently Splatoon servers are down? An update is hitting and the servers will be back up at 10pm ET.
Not tonight, my friend. School has started, which means I gotta be disciplined and be ready for the kiddos. I will be on Friday and Saturday nights, though. I'll catch you then!
