Alright, alright, I'll give you a REAL blog post this time.

In between writing and chores, I've been playing a lot of video games. Mostly Splatoon, Smash, and Rocket League. Thinking back, it was incredibly stupid of game journalists to knock on Splatoon for its low amount of content on release day, because jesus christ, it is BURSTING with stuff now. Was it dumb to delay the release of several maps, weapons, and gear for a few weeks? Maybe. But it's even dumber that its metacritic is forever tainted because it took a couple weeks to get a bunch of maps and weapons. Either way, Splatoon is so much goddamn fun right now. I'm at B+, level 28, and destroying punk-ass squid kids with my N-ZAP '85. Not too fond of the newest weapons, though. The Splatling Gun feels too much like a Charger for my tastes, and the Slosher just isn't fun for me. Sure is fucking annoying to fight against, though.

Smash is Smash. Always fun. Loving Ryu, loving Lucas, even Roy is good now. Ryu, though, is especially fun. Slightly surprised I don't see him more online, but apparently most Smash players are absolutely furious with confusion over how the fuck anyone could possibly do a quarter-circle motion. I always find myself gravitating back to Ganondorf, but Ryu is a really fun-ass character to mess around with.

Now, Rocket League. Rocket League is such a gem. I had no expectations when I got it for free off of PSN+, but god damn, has it been one of the most fun, solid gaming experiences I've had in awhile. If you don't know what Rocket League is, it's soccer but with cars. Cars with rockets. You basically knock a ball around with your car, jump with your car to try to defend the ball from getting into your goal, and speed around with your rockets. It's simple, beautiful, and chaotic as fuck. Remember lame-ass Blastball from the Nintendo World Championship, that boring piece of shit that was revealed to be a Metroid game later on? Imagine that but actually fun to play AND watch. Seriously, Rocket League renders Blastball completely fucking pointless. Also, you can customize your car. My car is a purple van with money tires, a money antannea, and it shoots money out of its rocket. Also, it has a wizard hat. I call it the Money Wizard.

19 more days until Metal Gear Solid V. Gotta finish writing this chapter before it comes out. SEE YOU ON FRIDAY.
