Darling.
A lot of (laughing) in just the first page.
This is very interesting. I really love the insights and problem-solving that goes into game design.

I hate you.
And yet I love you.
But I hate you!

Well, it was translated form Japanese, but I was assured that the Japanese pun was just as good (or bad, depending.)

I'm facing the dilemma that I kinda want to see the Japanese pun but I don't care enough to try and find the interview in Japanese.
Hmm... looks like the first one was "maa, ii janai" which then had "ka" added after it (where, for the unaware, "ika" means squid.) "Ika" was also the pun in the response, but I don't know enough Japanese to know what that sentence was meant to be.

Iwata's sentence in Japanese, if you remove the pun, translates to something like "Well, that's not good."
As for Nogami's response, I think he's saying "Ah, I see. Well, I hope so" or possibly "Well, how good" but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm looking forward to the Ika Musume/Splatoon official crossover content :D

And of course, since we're getting the squid crossover courtesy of Japan, it's only natural we're also getting the team shooter crossover courtesy of America, am I right? ...Right?
...Right?

Ahh yeah, it's actually common to use the negative in a question when you're trying to express a positive, like when... I dunno, like when you're saying "aren't you a good little boy" to your dog. He is a good little boy. He is the best.
So yeah, "ka" is an optional particle you can say at the end of a question (which you usually will when you're being all formal and/or polite), so "ii ja nai ka" would be something like "Isn't that nice!". Iwata turned the "ka" into "ika", so it became a subtle "Isn't that a nice squid!"
Moved accounts because meh
From what I heard, the last time Team Fortress 2 had a crossover appearance, it wasn't very good.

The racing games are good.

The point was that the TF 2 cast apparently hardly sounded like themselves in their cross over cameo.

Oh, you mean the crossover itself.
Yeah, you're entirely correct. Like...They Just Didn't Care.

Well, the Tell Tale poker game wasn't bad...
Helpful Scripts and Stylesheets here.
I keep forgetting that exists. That was such a funny game...
Whelp, I just preordered the boy and girl amiibo from Playasia. I'd really rather support my usual retailer, but I'm just way too nervous. I'll make it up to them later.

Existence Weighed Against Nonbeing
I'm holding out on the off-chance that I'll be able to find a 3-pack somewhere. I want my squid, dangit.
