Awesome man! I'll join you Saturday Evening. I have one more night in the woods then I'm spending the day in Mackinaw and Petoskey. I'll be safely driving home as fast as I can.

@VofEscaflowne Oh that is SO un-fab! ;)

I used to get games a day early or at the very least on release day when ordering from my usual place, but today there's nothing in my mailbox. It's gonna be a rainy weekend over here, so I was looking forward to some splatting. Oh well, it's not like I'm lacking great games to play or anything, but still.

My copy should be waiting for me when I get home from work. Unfortunately, I work till 6:00 on Fridays (aren't they supposed to let you go home early on Fridays?), and I'm on the West Coast, so my 6:00 is later than most other people on this board. Still, my wife and kids are out of town till Sunday, so besides a big pile of wood I need to take the chainsaw to tomorrow, I'll be splattin it up!

I'll probably be downloading this one tonight. Didn't put all that much time into the first one, despite enjoying it, but I think I can get some solid play time out of this one.

Went home for lunch, both my Bayonetta Amiibo and copy of Splatoon2 were waiting for me (separate deliveries). Grabbed a quick bite to eat, popped in the cart (update took a little longer than anticipated) and played 1 match online. We won, which put me to level 2. Had to head back to work, but man, I wanted to play more! Silky smooth.

Going digital and installing it soon as I get home!

......wow. K any worries I had about the soundtrack are long gone.

SALMON RUN!!!!!

THIS GAME!!!!

Good games, guys! Except for the one that I lost by 0.1%!

I still stink, but I'm getting better.

@carlosrox
Yeah, Salmon Run is sweet. I've only played one round, but it was super-fun. And voice chat isn't strictly necessary, due to the canned callouts.

This game kicks ass. I still want splitscreen, though.

Hey, this game is... like, awesome. I didn't get to play the first one as much as I wanted to (started my current job around the time it came out) but i liked it a lot. Been playing p late into the night this weekend already, its so good. The Splat Dualies + side roll are a damn revelation. And I haven't even touched Salmon Run yet.

i picked up Cave Story+ & MK8D recently but I've kinda played the hell out of those games before and thus haven't played my Switch a whole lot since i beat BotW. So I'm just hyped to have an excuse to boot it up every day / whenever i have some free time again

I'll probably be playing on & off all day today if anyone wants to do some splattin'. DL'd the Switch Online app yesterday so I'll try to figure out how to use it / chat etc. haha. Pretty sure you can just use your phones mic...?

I see there's one at midnight tonight, i think? And if that's the case, I'm guessing Pacific Time, but i legit can't find any concrete details... if that's right, I'll try it out tonight, if anyone's down / it's even happening when i think it is

@vinniebrock

It was on all day though! They go down in the middle of the night, well here anyway. But someone said they were only during the weekend? I haven't checked what, if there's any time that it's up tomorrow.

@VofEscaflowne

Yeah I'm confused af on the schedule tbh. Official website & Ninty's social media don't seem to really help much, either

@vinniebrock

It's listed on the app and in-game.
07/24/17, 05:15   
@VofEscaflowne

Ah, forgot about the app again lol. Still doesn't say 12:00 PST, EST GMT etc. tho

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there a way to know which friends are online via the app?
07/24/17, 05:38   
@DrFinkelstein

I dont think so. 3 people on my friends list are online right now playing Splatoon 2 and i don't see 'em on the app anywhere...

EDIT:
@VofEscaflowne
@vinniebrock

turns out I'm extremely stupid lol. I was trying to start a Salmon Run from the Shoal at first AND totally misread the schedule, it *was* all day and there's a lil under 2 hours left. ugh. I'm thoroughly embarrassed

Yesssss! My copy of Splatoon 2 has arrived! Once again, it's time for me to become a teenage squid girl and go online! I'm sure I'm on some sort of watch list for writing that...
