Splatoon – Funny Moments #3

My latest Splatoon video is here: Funny Moments #3. It’s a compilation of clips showing some funny and interesting things that have happened during online gameplay. It includes some karmic splashdowns, some outright FAILS, and a couple of epic Kraken battles.

Here’s a brief description of each clip, in case you missed something:

  • I turn into a Kraken, which apparently frightens my opponent into committing suicide!
  • I get splatted and then watch as my killer falls into some wet justice.
  • A bomb gets thrown seemingly out of nowhere and practically lands on my head as I launch an inkstrike.
  • I leap down to chase someone, but they superjump to freedom despite the sound effect indicating I ran him over.
  • A bomb wobbles and follows me as I jump down in Moray Towers. I just thought it looked pretty cool.
  • A Japanese player and I team up as Krakens. We’re Booyah Buddies.
  • Two killer wails interlock, with the bad one splatting me. My killer seems to celebrate my death before she herself gets splatted.
  • My Kraken gets stuck on a wall! I was trying to go around, not up!
  • An opposing player somehow goes into a wall! I die trying to run her over.
  • An opposing player superjumps away before I can Kraken her. Come back here, chicken!
  • Another sneaky player superjumps before I can attack.
  • A player gives up and plunges into the water before time expires.
  • An epic Kraken vs. Kraken battle, with a squid on the BBQ?
  • An opposing player jumps to attack me, but falls into the drink.
  • I move out of the way of a roller just in the nick of time!
  • A sniper drops a bomb, but also falls into the abyss himself!
  • A roller splats me out of nowhere and then goes for an accidental swim.
  • My Kraken chases a hopping squid up a conveyor belt.
  • I get splatted while launching an inkstrike and my killer gets some karma.
  • I narrowly escape a killer wail and defeat the inkling who fired it.
  • A Kraken vs. Kraken battle. He almost escaped.
  • I try to run my roller over an inkling while on a grate bridge, but my attacks do no harm.
  • I run over a motionless inkling (who I almost didn’t notice) and then as time expires, a Kraken lands on my head.
  • An opponent jumps off a ledge. Reason unknown.
  • A Kraken attacks me, but I lure it to a grated area, where it plunges to its death.
  • A turn of the camera results in an unexpected swim.

Hope you enjoyed the video! If you missed the first two Funny Moments videos (or want to see them again), you can find them here.

Frogger Blogger

Ever since I was a wee tadpole, I knew I had one true calling. I wanted to leap to heights never seen. I wanted to be the best Frogger blogger there ever was! So I’m starting a brand new Frogger blog! This is part one of a 401 part series that is sure to bring some traffic to the site. I’ll be describing every jump, leap, and hop. My frog friends and I will fight our way through freeways fraught with frightful freaks and frothy flooded fjords. I feel we’re at the forefront of froggy freedom for all!

But it all starts with a single frog, trying to get home. I began by hopping past cars, trucks, and other nondescript, pixelated vehicles. Why did I go through all that trouble? To get to the other side, of course.

I then found myself at the river, where I hitched a ride on a turtle’s back and then jumped onto a log. On that log was a lovely lady frog. She jumped on my back for a ride home. A few hops later, we made it back to her pad. We had insectual relations–we shared some bugs for lunch and I met her mother. I have a lovely croaking voice, so I gave her a ribbit for her pleasure.

As I continued my quest, I led the frogs to freedom. One after another. It was a huge success and I made a big splash. Many doubted me, but I toad you I could do it. I don’t want to bog you down with all the details, because I’m afraid you’ll just dissect my story. All I know is that time flies when I play this game. I don’t even mind that it doesn’t have analog controls.

Now I must ponder how to write 400 more Frogger blog entries; I’m going to be swamped!

Thought for the day: Would Frogger eating Pacman frog food be considered game-jumping?

Splatoon – Kill Combo Compilation #2

People seem to be enjoying my Splatoon compilation videos, and I have another new one for you: Kill Combo Compilation #2! It’s a collection of triple-kill and quad-kill combos, presented in rapid fire succession. Without further ado, here is the video:

If you’ve missed the first Kill Combo Compilation (or want to watch it again), here it is.

I’m always recording as I play, and I have many more compilation videos in the works. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see more, and stay fresh, Splatoon fans!
