Topic: Splatoon - OT

@Blue_Blur: @ELI-ASH: Cheers,sounds fantastic.Going to do some work then play some TW.

See you both on the track tonight

@LztheQuack: Really,I've never had that before.Might be an issue with the update? Did you just get the game?

I did, but my teammates would bail on me a few times

@LztheQuack: Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who like to rage quit in the game. It's completely normal, so you're not experiencing anything unusual. Disconnects aren't uncommon either. One time I was in Splat Zones, and my team was winning be a long shot, until I noticed I was the only squid-kid on my team... I assumed everyone got disconnected, since we were winning, and quitting then would be weird. Needless to say I lost the lead quickly and the other team, with all four members still, got a knockout. Playing by yourself isn't very fun, but luckily it should only last for a couple matches at a time. I hope you're still able to enjoy the game, even with bailing teammates.

@yokokazuo
山の幸 yama no sachi
海の幸 umi no sachi
Your translation identified the kanji right but not the meaning (I did so as well at first )
sachi in this case would be harvest or yield, so umi no sachi would be harvest/yield of the sea, in other words seafood.
The same applies for yama no sachi, but it's not literally mountain food (lol), it's food grown/raised/caught on land.

sorry for the lecture...

@kelvin217 ah, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks! I don't know a lot of kanji so I used a Japanese dictionary for 幸, but missed the harvest meaning and only looked at "good luck/fortune".
I fixed it now.

Anyone want to get in a squad for some tower?

@kelvin217: I might root for Team Seafood. I love Seafood

So, I just learned a really surprising fact. I was looking through my play records, because I knew I was playing Splatoon a lot these past couple months, and I was curious about how far away it was from being the highest in number of hours played, not counting apps. I was surprised to find that Splatoon must have taken that title a long time ago, as it is already 30% higher than my next leading titles, New Super Mario Bros. U (I can explain) and Mario Kart 8, both of which I've had for much longer than Splatoon. So yeah, I must be a fan. Nintendo, keep it up with these new concept games! Is this true for anyone else?

Splatoon for me is around 5 hours behind Mario Kart 8, but at the rate I play them, it will overtake very very soon.

@Nicolai: I'm at 470 hours now haha. SMM already my second most played at 222 and MK8 is at 213 hours.I reckon Splatoon will become my most played game ever within the next 2 or 3 months.

My ideas for Splatfests:

Hamburgers or Fried Chicken
Pepsi or Coke
Mario or Link

RM on new stage is crazy.

@Jazzer94: I would imagine so! Only got to play 3 turf war matches b4 I went to work but it looks good!

Splatoon's still very low in the ranks of game play time on Wii U, that said I expect it'll be in the top 5 by the time the content updates stop.

@OorWullie: Hope you had a good time for your birthday!

At 275 hours this game is only my second most played games and sits only about half way to Zen Pinball 2 at 568 hours. Yikes! But I haven't played pinball since this game came out so in that short time it got half way. Not sure if it will ever catch it since that's another 6 months of gaming there for me.

@Spoony_Tech: Thanks a lot man

Zen Pinball 2 would likely be one of my most played too if not for the countless hours I'd already played it on my phone.I've only downloaded Sorcerers Lair and Epic Quest onto my Wii U,those 2 and Empire Strikes back were my favourites on Android.Can you recommend me a table?

@OorWullie: Yeah, I think so lol. I have them all except the South Park ones. Of the Marvel ones I would say Captian America, Fantastic Four, Infinity Gauntlet, and The Avengers are the better ones. You already have 2 of the better ones imo of the none Marvel ones. Get the Iron and steel pack. Castle Storm is one of there best period and The Wild West table isn't too bad either. That's just a few to start with and some of those mentioned are only available in packs.

I only have 70-something hours logged in, I think... It's nowhere near MK8 in playtime.

@Spoony_Tech: Cheers,I'll check them out soon.The new map is mental by the way,I've only tried a few battles of TW on it but I can see it becoming a new favourite.
