I submit that you took that baseball, stashed it in your unusually large vagina, and walked right on out of here!

Only just gotten around to starting this game, got it for Christmas. It's fun. I'm like rank 6 and admittedly the fun of only two maps can wear off quickly but at least they change consistently and I imagine this'll be alleviated when I have access to Ranked and thus a choice of 4 potential maps.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm any good yet. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing awesome and I've even been the top scorer on the team despite being the lowest level a few times, but then every now and then a pack of 4 amazing players will just slaughter us and make me question how good I actually am. On the other hand, yesterday I played against a level 50 who was abysmal and I assume only got that high through length of time playing rather than actual skill.

Fun game though. Would like to play with goons sometime.

Yeah Ranked Battle will likely blow your mind, no disrespect to Turf War.

There is tons of room for improvement, keep at it. I've played a lot and can tell I still "suck" compared to the top tier of players. I haven't played a game this regularly online in many years, it pretty much remains a blast.

Real Talk: For a while I didn't realize that you could keep 'R' pressed when you choose to submerge with 'L', so that when you pop up again you'll immediately start shooting again. I used to let go of 'R' while swimming then press it again once I popped up but was surely wasting time. Could still make sense to lay off for recharging, I guess, I don't do it all the time.

Got to play around with the new weapons tonight! Paint Brush is fun, Slosher is my jam but I still prefer the original version, Wasabi Splattershot is good and I performed the best using that, bizarrely enough.

Also I made it to level 40!



Put myself in full Octoling gear to celebrate.

Gotta say, Berry Splattershot Pro is my new Tower Control jam (get it?... berry?... jam?...). Suctions are so useful on that mode, and it's nice to finally have something with better range than the Roller and more killing power than the Splash O Matic. Would like to try out the Fresh Squiffer on it as well, but I'm a little hesitant to put my already tenuous rank on the line given that I'm hot garbage with chargers. Just another reason I'm all in favor of unranked objective modes that we won't be seeing until at least Spla2n but probably never.

I've never watched the show, and if it's cross-region then it'll probably be mostly while I'm working or sleeping like the Pokemon one was.

So I guess thanks Nintendo for not making this one compelling enough to pull me away from Dark Souls 3?

I do that, but it's just not the same. Turf War is very spread out while Tower Control has the action centralized in one place. Turf War generally doesn't really give me an idea of how/whether I can handle it in a more intense firefight of all 8 players in one cluster.

That and I really like Tower Control and Rainmaker and would like to play them without the stress.

Think of it this way: want another "NA's too scared to use red" team or do you want to be team piss?

Anyways if you haven't seen Spongebob you should watch Fry Cook Games to get a feel of what Spongebob vs Patrick entails.

Splat for Inkopolis! For Inkopolis!

I'm kind of the same way. Like the Transformers one, haven't watched Spongebob in years so I don't really know which side to pick. But from what I remember, I think I liked Spongebob better than Patrick, so I guess I'm going Callie this time.

Then watch Band Geeks. Then you really don't need to watch any other episode cause it's the best one. Well the one where they go camping is pretty good too.

Spongebob is way past it's prime now but it was good once upon a time

I keep hearing rumors that they're getting the writing team from the first 2-3 seasons back after over a decade. Maybe the show will finally be watchable again.
Until then I'm content with watching miiverse explode with quotes from Frycook Games and possibly "I'm Dirty Dan!" while I have to miss the splatfest for a baby shower.

Eh, they're such massively different types of things it's more a matter of which type of thing you like more than which is better. The only reason I put them together is they both start with Homest.

it would be homestarrunner vs strongbad because splatfests are not about meaningful competition, theyre about marketing perceived protagonist vs perceived antagonist when theyre both pets, transformers, characters from the same show, ways to have fun, things you would have in your camping satchel, etc.

the important part is that marie is usually right and also top waifu

but lets be real here, which team is going to win and why because all that matters is snails
