A new band called the Bottom Feeders has been tearing up the Inkopolis charts lately. The band is fronted by a tropical-betta-fish violinist, features vocals by a dude made of seaweed, and also includes a shark, a scallop, and a globefish. Their unforgiving yet catchy music style is the product of fusing ancient Celtic sea shanties with punk rock.

I really love how they incorporate fictional bands into the game, it's such a good touch

This classically trained, all-female 6-piece band creates jazz and samba-inspired battle music. They owe their unique sound to a blend of academic music theory and modern sensibilities. Ink Theory’s eclectic approach makes them quite popular with young Inklings and middle-aged Inklings alike.

Ink Theory are probably my favourites too. In general I really enjoy Splat2's music in a way I don't remember feeling about the original, like Splatoon's music was very cool and I liked Calamari Inkantation as much as the next person but I find the Off the Hook tracks much more listenable than the squid idols sound they were going for with Squid Sisters. Plus all the different styles they've been adding with the other fictional bands have been just terrific. What a good video game

expansion is hard but really inconsistently. some of the levels are really demanding to make it in the time limit or like dodge slow blobs for thirty seconds but then I open up a much farther shooting range level and miss the first target six times and still finish with twenty seconds to spare.

The subway lines are separate difficulties, the more tokens it costs to take the test the more difficult it's going to be

Not quite the same thing, but I had a Barnes & Noble gift card from the in-laws sitting around, so...



The Octo Expansion OST 2CD+Blu-Ray is out next month too. (I’m still on the fence about spending $30+ for the Wet Floor “Inkoming!” single, but having a full set of Splatoon CDs is extremely tempting. I’ve bought way dumber poo poo for way worse reasons.)

I've been seeing this a lot lately for some reason. Half of my team would just go to enemy spawn and just booyah over and over while the rest of the team tries fruitlessly to win a lopsided game.

Wasn't the Squeezer in the data files for the first game as well? I know I remember hearing about it way before Splatoon 2 came out.

I don't believe so. Couldn't find anything about it. However, it was found in Splatoon 2's game files since launch, but it was basically an entirely different weapon back then.

The old Squeezer didn't have the continuous fire mode. You had to constantly mash. It had the same range as the Splattershot Pro, but it had the same fire rate as an N-ZAP/Splash-o-matic. Oh, and it had perfect accuracy in this version as well. So it was basically a Splash-o-matic that had the same range as a Splattershot Pro, and painted much better than a Splattershot Pro. The only "downside" was that you had to sacrifice your fingers to use it well, but if you got past that hurdle, there was absolutely no need to use several of the Shooters you had access to.

Needless to say, it was reworked into the version we actually got.

Though I did find out one fun fact, and that's that Sloshers are actually Splatoon's versions of grenade launchers, according to the internal file names.

I can’t believe how hype I am for goddamn pop music written by squids. I love this game so much. It goes back to classic weird-rear end Nintendo, like the Game Boy Camera error faces or Mario Paint’s mosquitos.

Also, pulp is disgusting!

It's really good and iterates on the mechanics of Splatoon in cool ways, you can tell they had a lot of fun coming up with interesting new takes on familiar Splatoon stuff. And yeah a lot of the levels are real challenging

"I should really learn to fucking read"
In a game of weighted projectiles, the sloshers (especially the sloshing machine) feel like they're actually the weapons that get around cover and behave like heavy projectiles. They also reward pot shots at corners like typical fps grenade launchers.
