General Rambling: Splatoon & Thinking of Summer


Jedi Master J.

880 views

Hey, folks. Its been awhile since I have done one of these entries, so I thought I pop in and let you know how things are going. Really there is not a whole lot to say. Things mostly been same old same here (Wake up, go to work, go home, use free time in some way, go to bed...Repeat).

 

So nothing exciting really (I mean I would talk about work stuff, but I imagine that would bored most of you greatly.).

 

Uh... I got Splatoon recently, for those that might be wondering (Although my status message here probably gave it away quite clearly.). Personally I am enjoying it.

 

Although I will admit in its current state, it is overpriced, especially if you added the Amiibo for it into the equation. So yeah, I can't blame some people for waiting to get it as it does feel like it could used some more content. Another game mode or two for online would been nice to have. Bosses in single play mode (Excluding Final Boss, whom I am currently struggling to beat.) could use some more difficult as well (Like third boss, I beat super quick. There was little challenge to that one at all.).

 

So yeah, its far from perfect. But I am enjoying it and there is promise of future free updates (Which they have already introduced a new map and some weapons), so I feel at least somewhat justified in my purchase of it. That and well, I guess it is my "vote with my wallet" that Nintendo trying new things is a good thing. *shrugs*

 

But anyway, I wouldn't say I am saying I am that good at Splatoon. I mean I am kind of afraid to try Ranked Mode since I became level 10, not too long ago. XD

 

I don't really have a weapon that I am particularly good at really. Although I like using N-Zap '85 and Splattershot Jr, so I guess you could say those.

 

Oh, and I have yet to use the Amiibo, so I can't really comment on those features.

 

I don't really know how with friends thing for Splatoon works exactly. But if you want to play Splatoon with me, feel free (My Nintendo ID is BZPJMJ64.). I am sure you will crush me. XD

In other news, I been discussing with my friend about BrickFair VA trip lately and well, trying nail down a bit of schedule for us since its good to be prepare and stuff. And well, I thought maybe I should ask you folks for some advice since a lot of you are veterans of this kind of thing and I am kind of noob with this traveling stuff. So yeah, I appreciate any advice.

 

I guess write some general questions for you folks to answer, if you want.

 

1) Is there any particular event at BrickFair VA that we should check out while we are there (Outside well, the MOCs and the people)?

 

2) Is there anything outside of the con that we should check out (Museums, ect)?

 

Alright, that's enough from me for today. I hope you all have a great day and thank you for taking the time to read this. Talk to you later, BZPers.

I also have splatoon. I agree it's a bit light on content.

 

But it is a lot of fun, and I think that and future updates is more important.

 

I have the Amiibo, but I haven't beaten the missions yet. So I haven't been able to use them.

 

I kinda hope they add other Amiibo comparability. Basically I want a Samus armor suit.

I'm one of those waiting for Splatoon to go on sale before I purchase it. It looks like a lot of fun, though, so I might crack. :P

As far as BFVA goes, I'm only ever able to go there during the weekend, so I'd suggest that you be there during the weekend. But seriously, "do as much as you want" is all the advice I can give.

Seminars and games are always fun. Since there's a good amount of each, you should be able to choose from a wide variety. BZP-specific is the fancy dinner and lasertag, which are two events that are always super fun.
 

2) Is there anything outside of the con that we should check out (Museums, ect)?

 

Museums: Closest to BFVA is the Udvar Hazy Center, which is the Virginia wing (pun intended) of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. On the other hand, you could also spend an entire day at the National Mall; it's surrounded by, like, seven Smithsonian museums (all free), as well as the monuments, the Capitol, the Library of Congress, etc.
