Am I legit the only one interested in Splatoon? >.>;;

Not the only one. My siblings and I are picking that up tomorrow. ^^ I got to play the demo for it a while ago and it's very fun. Looking forward to it.
I've played a fair few things recently so I'll give a few mentions to the ones that stood out.
Guild Wars 2 - I was hooked on playing this essentially every day for about 2 months but now I've reached that 'burnt out' stage with nothing to do or rather no desire to do anything until the expansion hits. I had a number of problems with WoW which caused me to quit and move to GW2. One of those was the fact I simply couldn't find a single character to focus on as none of them felt enjoyable to the point where I could commit the time required to them, as they lost things that I had previously loved about them.
This problem disappeared when I started playing GW2 as a definitive 'main' class stood out to me like no other. The Thief plays better than any rogue type class I've played in any MMO. Their ability to weave in and out of combat, having multiple options to dodge, stealth and re-engage. And they have a unique mechanic which allows them to steal an ability based on who or what you're stealing from. This kind of adaptability to situations and utility in a damage dealing class felt perfect to me.
Bloodborne - As a fan of the Souls series I'm afraid to say I don't actually own a PS4 nor a copy of the game, but I am privileged enough to have a friend who does. While I haven't been able to play it at my leisure at an extensive rate I've still been able to enjoy it, that is; after the loading times were patched and fixed to be something reasonable rather than a reminder of what game you're playing just in case you forgot and needed to be reminded for 40 seconds.
The world and atmosphere is great, weapon selection is great, bosses are great. Game is pretty great, and eventually I'm going to have to pick up a PS4 as Bloodborne is a primary reason to own one, in my opinion.
Darkest Dungeon - A kind friend gifted me this gem on steam. While I was planning to pick it up at some point down the line as it drew closer to its full release and dropped the 'Early Access' beta phase. But seeing as it fell into my lap in a serendipitous manner I thought I'd give it a go. And it turns out I was right when I thought this game would be up my alley.
It's a rogue-like where you set up a party of misfits and delve into the darkness of dungeons. Taking care of the mental health of your group as stress comes into play just as much as wounds affect their physical health.
There are ways to enhance your crew in town, as well as ways to reduce stress. The blacksmith and the guild house ways to enhance their combat ability. While the tavern and abbey provide stress relief options.
I sent my leper to the brothel to reduce stress. 10/10
