Hey splatoonau, what do you guys think about when you're not concerned about splatoon-related stuff? Do you all have any hobbies?

A few of us are studying at University, and the others are lucky enough to have jobs. As for hobbies, we enjoy a lot of Nintendo-related games and children’s cartoons. We’re all children at heart, well, all of us except Gary. He’s just here to handle the financial side of things.

Prepare thyself for the Bamboozler 14 Mk I and the L-3 Nozzlenose D! They are bringing in the ink and with these sweet weapons by your side, those other squids will be shaking in their fancy pancy shoes.

sorry for intruding, but not all water is pH neutral to begin with! ever heard of acid rain? pollution and chemical dumping can make the water itself dangerous like that!

Not intruding at all, science squid! We adore herring all the clever fins that you all say. 

Just like pollution and chemical dumping makes water dangerous, water can be made delicious if you add codial or tea in it! Yum...

[splatoonau]

Do You think splatoon will ever add on more to inkopolis, instead of just the plaza? I think itd be neat.

Ooh, we wonder what they would add? Perhaps a themepark? Or maybe residential buildings for squids to live in? We’d pike to make our own room and shore it off!

"Acidity in water"? As far as I know, water is in the middle of the acid/base scale so unless there's a lot of pollution in the water, the water shouldn't be "acidic" at all.

Exactly, our lovely squid. There is so much pollution in the water, left over from the previous inhabitants of the Earth, that the acidity in the water reacts with the ink residue on an inklings skin.

Normal, clean water doesn’t hurt them. Natunally. :)

But then why, in game, does Cap’n Cuttlefish state that “Inklings can’t handle water” and Callie & Marie said during the Waterslides vs Rollercoaster splatfest that Inkling’s can’t swim?

[splatoonau]

With most major bodies of water unswimmabubble, do you think most inklings would take the time to learn? 

[splatoonau]

Football or basketball... Now that would make a great splatfest.

We would totally be rooting for basketgull! We wouldn’t be seaprised if this became a Splatfest in the near future. 

[splatoonau]

What are your thoughts on the rumours of Octolings being playable in the future?

Water exciting rumour that is! We’re certainly hoping that there’s truth behind this one!

[splatoonau]

Around what time (in your time zone) do you guys splat it up? I'm in central and never sea you online:(

Most of us here in our little Squid Research Center are much too busy researching inklings to take tide out of our schedule to splat some turf... Boat when we do it’s usually in the late algaenoons or odd hours of the night!

[splatoonau]

Hey Do you think The Inklings have access to things that used to belong to humans? (ex: Game consoles, music CDs, DVDs, comic books, ect?)

Whale, we know that the Inklings have found relics and fossils from past. No doubt they used this as a bass for their technologies today.

The arcode machine is obviously inspired from our own!

[splatoonau]

Hey if flounder heights is an apartment complex. Then wouden't the residents be angry that there is a turf war every 5 minutes thus interrupting their day?

Are you squidding? Talk about front row seats!

Splatfest inkcoming!

What’s batter? Singing, or Dancing?

Having trouble deciding? The answer is shrimple. When your jam comes on, what do you do first? ;)

We’re excited to see you show off your moves, or your range, starting at 3am AEST Monday the 30th of August!

[splatoonau]

What do researchers ink about a zombie-esque mode? (Octarians in this case) For both single player and multiplayer! I think it would be a reely neat idea! Or at least some other way to battle CPU....(pls make it happen)

That sounds like a great idea, dear squid! We personally pike the idea of, like Splatfests, an attack from Octarians every so often! They cod rise from the depths and attempt to take over Inkopolis! Which we all then would have to team up and defeat them together!

[splatoonau]

Are there any other sports the inklings can play in inkopolis besides ink battles?

Of course there is! There’s Tower Control... Oh wait, no that’s an ink battle... Um... Oh! There’s Rainmaker!... Wait no that’s also an ink battle... Uh... Oh cod, well... Those Skate Shoes got to be more than just show, right?

[splatoonau]

Do you think it's weird how America gets stuff like Autobots vs. Decepticons as their Splatfests but Europe gets stuff like North Pole vs. South Pole?

Don’t go finking that because Europe doesn’t have the cool Splatfests, doesn’t mean they are any less exciting! Don’t forget we had Pop vs. Rock! Plus, we still don’t know what the next Splatfest for us is going to be... 

[splatoonau]

Which weapons do you squids like?

We used to be quite fond of the Roller, but now we can’t keep our tentacles off the Slosher! It’s so much fun to use!

[splatoonau]

So for the US, Splatoon has officially announced the next splatfest will be Autobots vs Decepticons. First the Inklings discovered anime, now robots and western animation? Now, what?

Next up is mostly pikely... Soapies?
