Tell me about Endless Ocean?

I don't recall much of the first game unfortunately but the second (Blue World) I can talk your ear off about.

It's a diving simulator on the Wii with scary areas that freaked me out as a kid lmfao. There's mythical animals to find but the game is grounded in real-life locations and you're tasked with finding an ancient temple that was sunk beneath the ocean a thousand years ago. You gotta avoid sharks and get photos of animals, you open an aquarium, you go everywhere from the Arctic to freshwater Amazon rivers to the open ocean to coral reefs, and you get to document the species you find along the way in a bestiary. You also get to help solve the disappearance of your friend's father.

You also get to train dolphins and porpoises, uncover treasure (I had a crush on the chick who appraises your salvage WHOOPS), take photos, bring clients on diving trips to find certain animals, have random events under proper circumstances, and go deep-sea diving which is INSANELY fun and INSANELY scary cuz Something Is Down There With You and you never actually find out what it is (though you do meet a giant squid and watch it fight a sperm whale, which is cool!)

Technically I never actually... Beat the game. I beat it in the technical sense, but in the post-game activities you're supposed to reopen the Temple of the Gods once you get a million monies, but I never got enough money and then one day my Wii shat the bed and I lost my save. And that was a good 3-4 years of work, so I quit out of frustration because I only had about 100k left to go.

But god, I love that game. It's been long over a decade since I played and if I could find a Wii somewhere I'd dump DAYS back into it. It's a part of my childhood and was MASSIVE to little outback Blu who'd never even seen a lake before, let alone been able to reckon with the vastness of an ocean he'd never seen.

I have it to thank for my love of the ocean, and also because it taught me about the bends once I finally went diving so I knew I had to surface slowly. I still got the bends 😅

i can't wax extensive poetic about it rn but i really enjoy the idea of blu engie being the only original on blu; the only person who knows the truth, at first; who whips the rest of blu into a frenzy when they learn the truth, too, under the guise that he himself is a clone, just like them. their outrage is his own, he tells them. that anger makes every match so much fun, from where he's sitting.

because at the end of the day it doesn't matter; they have a job to do. they're clones—so what?

conversely, red engie being so confident that he's the real engineer...when he's just part of the coverup.

#tf2 #giggling. i like blu sniper and blu engies dynamic #at least the one in my head #none of this matters to blu engie. not really. he has all the time and money and test subjects in the world right here in the gravel pit #meanwhile. blu sniper knows none of this matters. he's just a clone; hes a person only in the sense of muscle memory #mine #my writing #my post #lalalala..#tf2 engie
