the way portal 2 invented splatoon

decided to replay this on a whim and, honestly? exactly as good as i remembered it. i've played this game so many times, i know it about as well as i know some of my favorite movies and it just doesn't get old. right up there with wolfenstein: the new order as a game i could replay until the sun goes out. spectacular balance between gameplay and narrative, eternally impressive setpieces, HILARIOUS. it's the sort of medium-defining classic i honestly can't believe came out in my lifetime.
