I’m not going to lie. Today was absolutely insane… I’m still at an absolute loss for words. When I saw that email pop into my inbox two weeks ago, I honestly couldn’t believe it. From that all the way to today I have been riding an absolute high, and not going to lie, for a while I was kinda thinking this was some really over-convoluted scam. But as you all saw today, it was not. When I heard you all scream in the crowd when I was introduced (and then later in the chat as well), I was honestly so shocked that I could get such a reaction out of the crowd. ME. Unreal. But at the end of the day, the show today was for the players, and what a match you all put on there, so much back and forth, you all really showed the world that AU/NZ is a statement piece in the global Splatoon scene. Huge shoutouts as well to @NintendoAUNZ and @ESLAustralia for taking a chance on me, and I hope I lived up to all of your expectations. @FlukeAUS, it was amazing casting with you and it’s not often you only get half an hour 2 days before the event as the only practice before the big show, and with your wealth of experience casting it was so easy for me to take to the big stage. Finally, I also know there are so many other faces in this community who could have EASILY taken this role I got today. I believe in my heart that you all could have the opportunity arrive. Just check your emails, it might just pop on in. That’s it from me! I’ll add all the photos I got of the event into the thread below (and sorry for the wall of text).

ICYMI i’m back on twitch

I should have posted this AGES ago, but what IRL Splatoon could look like if we had a budget. Huge thank you to @shinyhunterzach and @NineWholeGrains for doing the casting on this, as well as @ThatSrb2DUDE for a cameo in game. Filmed in June 2024 youtu.be/6Yfj6ltFTTM

Actually insane that the Japanese edition of the Switch 2 is region locked, language locked, and ¥20,000 cheaper (~$200 AUD).
