  4. Finished my exams and my report, time to give my Switch some love! Gonna hunt for full upgraded rubber in BotW, but I’m stuck at the annoying golfing shrine. I know what the trick is supposed to be, but your allignment has to be so precise, ugh.

  7. Looking at the best switch bundles, my goal is to have Arms, Oddyssey, Spla2n, MK8 and the spla2n controller with the switch for the total of around 560-580$. Any of you know any good offers?

    • I think there is a Switch bundle with Splatoon 2 and the pro controller but I’m not 100% sure

      I would recommend getting a case for it as well as a 64GB or higher SD card. It’s better for the long run because downloading games in it is way more convinient

      • The only official splatoon Bundle was just the neon switch with the game, but it was cheaper than buying them on their own (+it has a cool box).

        I’m not going to take it anywhere shortly after getting it, so I’m not sure if I need the case… and I kinda like collecting game boxes, so maybe I’d get the SD card later. Thanks for the advise!

  20. How nintendo gets its ideas:
    -What about a shooter… where modern teens… do race wars?…
    -You’re stoned Ben
    -but wait!… the big twist is… they’re squids!
    -WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, YOU GET A RAISE BEN
    *Everybody claps*

    2 years later:
    -Hey!… I have another idea guys…
    -What is it Ben?
    -Weird cartoony characters punch the f*ck out of eachother…
    -And what’s the big twist?
    -Idk yet… wait!
    *eats a bunch of cheetos*
    -they have springs… for arms!
    *everybody stands up and claps*

  22. I mean, all you Americans are getting so excited about the sun disappearing for ten minutes, but little do you know that during Belgian summers, the sun can’t be seen for six weeks in a row!
