I didn't read the floor tutorial messages in Dark Souls 1 and so I didn't know you could lock on for the first few hours of the game
I also didn't learn how to run until after beating the Gargoyles

Platoon: a subdivision of a company-sized military unit normally consisting of two or more squads or sections
Splat + platoon = Splatoon
Benjamin Hernandez
nono it's cause you play as a toon.
Splacharacter didn't roll off the tongue as well.
Jayden Parker

i cant tell the difference here, both ways you tried to spell it is said exactly the same way
spla toon, only dif is if you put more accent on the T
Isaac Lopez
The difference comes from "platoon" often being said with a u sound, like in "fuck" or "cunt". Think "plutoon"
