I'm undoubtedly happy to hear this.... but also annoyed.

Can we just have this global testfire on daily until the game comes out? It's getting annoying how we need to find specific times to do this. Anyways, maybe I'll bump into you online Brad.

[ikke471]

damnit I can't play tomorrow. well have fun.

[Ambidextroid]

Is it free? I'll play for sure, it looks fun and I missed the first one.

[Bradandez]

Yes. The demo is avaliable right now and you can play it for an hour tomorrow.

[Ambidextroid]

Oh sweet, I'll hop on that tomorrow then, got nothing better to do

[Imco]

Mm, if I can, I will join in as well. I'm willing to give Splatoon a try. Only thing is, it's literally at midnight...

[Ambidextroid]

Just before midnight for me so I'll hopefully manage. Remembering is the real problem in my case.

[Rayfist]

Please tell me when Splatoon comes out there is a way to make friends-only matches, if so RPC could have a pretty interesting battle. If we're only able to fight random opponents that will be disappointing.

[Bradandez]

You're gonna get annoyed by this, but we won't get a proper friend matching system until August. We can join with friends, but we'll be randomized and the matches won't be customized. This will all come on the August update. I really want to play this game with you guys, so it sucks that we have to wait two to three months for this.

[Imco]

So basically, they're releasing an incomplete game, with free DLCs to complete it? That sounds pretty dumb, if you ask me.

[Ambidextroid]

So when is the testfire exactly? I don't know what PSTD is...

[Rayfist]

24 minutes, can't wait.

[Bradandez]

Uh oh cheerios, I misread the date. It's actually next Saturday... Next... Saturday... on the 23rd... the 23rd... SON OF A BITCH! I duped all of you, fuck! I'll go get hit by a car now.

EDIT: It's still the same time, but different date.

[ikke471]

aw yeaaah! I don't have to miss out o3o

[Ambidextroid]

I couldn't get my TV to work anyway, so that's lucky...

[Rayfist]

but we won't get a proper friend matching system until August.

I've heard people discuss this but I didn't even know it was official until now. Honestly I really can't stand Nintendo's method of "we'll unlock more maps for the player the higher the level they reach." Why aren't we able to have access to those maps on the spot? Honestly a little stupid if you ask me.

[Keane]

I mean, unless I'm missing something, that's just a common stage unlocking system to keep people playing, right?

I just hope Ninty's not about to take on the idea of presenting the content that actually completes the game as "free DLC". I really don't want this stuff to start catching on and make companies think its OK to push their developers into rushing games for preferred release dates. I haven't played it, but remember the video of the ship glitching through the entire world in Assassin's Creed. Though at least in the case of Nintendo I couldn't imagine them ever putting out glitchy games or adding free DLC to major Mario/Zelda titles.

[Bradandez]

Yeah, it's really lame. Though, I can't wait to get more information on the upcoming maps, gears, and the game modes. So far there's two confirmed game modes which are: Tower Control (Payload) and Rainmaker (don't have any info on it).

Going back to the commercials, they are terrible and the comments are even worse. BUT! I have to admit the "Squid Kid" was catchy. It was stuck in my head for a whole day at work. It was awful.

So when is the testfire exactly? I don't know what PSTD is...

PSTD was a misspelled PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). If I done it right, I was hoping someone would have taken notice, like a WTF? reaction mostly. What I originally meant was the time I listed was in Pacific Time.

So basically, they're releasing an incomplete game, with free DLCs to complete it? That sounds pretty dumb, if you ask me.

I wouldn't say that exactly. Yeah, only five maps for the first month, but we also have a single player mode and local multiplayer, albeit they weren't as focus as much as online multiplayer.

I'm undoubtedly happy to hear this.... but also annoyed.

Can we just have this global testfire on daily until the game comes out? It's getting annoying how we need to find specific times to do this. Anyways, maybe I'll bump into you online Brad.

I agree/disagree. I disagree with it being daily. If they did that, people will probably get there fix and have enough of Splatoon. It's still a long way away, so it's a possibility. I would prefer if they did a free weekend. Have the whole weekend with the severs up so it could be more convenient for everyone to play, while make people wanting more when it's over.

Also I'll be playing as a female inkling, I like the design way better personally.

You fucking, scummy hypocrite. I say I'll play as one, I'm a pervert for liking 14 year old squids.

Also look at this new costume that I really like!


(Also, please tell me if I went to far with this. )

And lastly, there's manga and plush cushions based on Splatoon out in Japan! The manga is out now, but it's a one shot. And the plushies are coming out soon. Both are only for Japan. You lucky bastards...



That's it for me, bye! :0

[Rayfist]

You fucking, scummy hypocrite. I say I'll play as one, I'm a pervert for liking 14 year old squids.

It can still be pedophilia if it's a male inkling though. I just like the design better!

[Bradandez]

Whatever. Squid Girls are best girls.

Also, if you pre-order/buy Splatoon at Target (sorry Canadians), they will give you a Splatoon Squirt Gun! Cool!
