The Hello internet. Welcome to Game Theory where this week we can all breathe the collective sigh of relief

because we are finally out of the dark days here on Game Theory.

Mass Effect, fallout, Dark Souls, all these games dealing with apocalyptic societies

where the survivors battle it out for supremacy.

And that's why the fun-loving game I chose to cover today is Splatoon.

Wait what?

Are you kidding me right now?

Splatoon is a post-apocalypse too?

Come on!

Can no one base a game on like, I don't know,

trying to cross the street anymore?

How about a bear and a bird fighting a witch?

The spirits of dead children possessing furry-themed robots so they can achieve revenge on their killer.

No? No more feel-good plotlines like that anymore?

Well, I guess it's off to another horrific end of the world story again, but this time it's splitoon so it involves bright colors

and weaboo action to distract you from whatever mysterious event caused humanity

to collapse yay Nintendo but anyway today's episode is a science-based one

has absolutely nothing to do with

lore so let me give you the short version of the story for those of you who haven't

played it. Basically something terrible happened on the surface of the earth and

cephalopods now rain supreme. Cephalopods being squid, cuttlefish, and octopides.

And yes, internet, you heard that right.
