More gushing about Splatoon

I’ve been playing at least 90 minutes of Splatoon every night for the last week, and I really can’t say enough nice things about it.  I’ve gotten up to level 12 in the multiplayer, finished the first two sets of single-player levels and started on the third, and even done a few of the Inkling Girl Amiibo challenges.  I’m a bit behind the curve of the hardcore – I see quite a few level 20s in matches these days – and I haven’t even touched the ranked mode, but I don’t feel compelled to rush.

As a fan of lame jokes, I’m in love with the announcers who pop in every two hours to let you know what maps are currently in rotation.

I also found out that, if you go up to the windows of the studio where they hang out between news broadcasts and look in, they eventually notice you and wave.

I need a high-res cleaned up version of this for desktop wallpaper.  Seriously, want now.
