Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion, The Crown Tundra: Trading one grind for another.

Though I wasn't expecting the Sword and Shield Expansion Passes to fix the main issues I had with Sword and Shield, it has become clear in hindsight they've chosen to double down problems that feel like they've been plaguing Pokemon since Generation 6. While Isle of Armor was ok for what it was, it didn't make me excited for the second half of the Expansion Pass, the Crown Tundra.

Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion: So that's what happened to that escaped Octoling...


When Marissa and I did that whole Human Reseach Lab joke from the Splatoon 2 review, I threw in the escaped Octoling thing as a joke cause I wasn't sure if we'd be able to bring it back for a Splatoon 3 review. I genuinely had no idea the expansion was happening, the review was only a few weeks after the game launched after all! But I'll take any chance at a joke I can get.

Alongside the tons of free updates the game has gotten, adding in new weapons, gear, stages and songs, it was surprising to see paid Splatoon 2 post-launch content to be considered at all, let alone an expansion based around something that Data Miners have been able to find in the games since Splatoon 1. However, here we are with the Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion, a roughly $30 addon for Splatoon 2 that adds playable Octolings, along with a bunch of Octo themed gear... oh and those roughly 80 extra levels. Shall we see how the expansion holds up?

 So does this mean Splatoon 8 will come out in 2028 or 2088?
