This game is evil, I'm tight on cash and I'm going to buy the hell of of it. I wasn't going to buy it straight away, but it needs me, it calls for me.

Oh, it's cool that Player History works for demos too. Though I don't think I met anyone from here.

Embarrassing shield fail vs. roller:

From my friend Fupoo, 100% roller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJyZUGNgHBQ

Asked him about how he was jumping into rollers.

depending on the other (or your) persons connection, you can get away by jumping and hope you hit their bodies first. in the video, you can see some of the lag (paint not applying) and also you see me clashing with another roller. thats naturally whats supposed to happen, clashing but with lag, you both die cause youre both slightly ahead in your own screen

Well, Walmart apparently just sold out of the 3 pack. I caught it after it was already sold out. I was signed up to be alerted and they never bothered alerting me. Not sure who I'm more annoyed with at the moment; Walmart or Nintendo. My kids are really excited for this game and Nintendo are still completely inept where Amiibo are involved.
 
There was debate earlier about whether you can jump over the roller. He does it in inkling form at 5:37
and 6:55 but he's jumping from a higher point in that one
 
I had to send in my Wii U for repairs. Gamepad range issue. I'm choosing to look at it as, if I can't play Splatoon right now, I'm not going to play anything for the next 2-3 weeks!

I had no idea Killer Wail was so good in choke points. In hindsight it seems so obvious.

Also, your friend is a scary Roller.

He's a destined roller with a rolling Roll avatar. But roller does still have a weakness with long range weapons. If an enemy comes too close that's only time when he may really fight back as he considers rollers to be support. He's mostly out just inking the floor because that's the roller's specialty.

I heard that if you were in the tutorial when the testfire ended you could stay in indefinitely. Wish I'd have tried that.

This is true! I did it and took a couple of pics!

So in terms of stress tests how useful is thee 1-hour periods going to be? What are the chances of them doing demo periods in larger chunks or like a full 24 hours?

I think the 1-hour chunks proved to be useful as they ensured that the maximum amount of people would be trying to get on the servers. This test was all about testing the limits of the servers.

That being said, my hope for more demo sessions is fading as they apparently removed the Testfire demo from the eshop.

They had to take off the demo because the didn't want people downloading it when they couldn't play it. They'll put it back on Thursday when they announce the next times.

Denial is the first stage right?
 
Wow, these videos are showing me just how terrible I was during the Testfire. I was absolutely terrible at the Charger, but some of these videos show incredibly good use of the weapon. Not to mention all of the different little strategies (like passing the bubble shield to your teammates).
 
I watched all three versions of the Direct and, I have to say, I love the UK one the most because the British voice makes it like an actual documentary.

I do like the US one too.
