"Or it's a key all the time, and when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death."

Yes, that is a quote taken from Red vs Blue. Yes, it was Caboose. Sorry it's been so long but so much has been happening. My boyfriend moved into an apartment owned by my parents and we haven't had a lot of money, we've been sharing internet with my parents but something's up with their wireless and we can only have internet every once in a while and most of those nights I end up attacking things on DDO. My boyfriend finally found a job after a 2 month search so hopefully we can chip in with my parents for a new wireless or just buy a modem of our own.

On the weekends when we go camping I've been lucky enough to have some quality time with a PS2 that my boyfriend has. I've been addicted to Kingdom Hearts. We stayed at camp this week and I finally finished the game. I thought it was pretty decent but was bothered by how many cut scenes were included in the game. I understand that they were needed to progress the story line but, in my opinion, I think you should be able to skip the one's you've already watched. There was on time where I was fighting a boss that had a pretty lengthy cut scene before you were able to attack. I was killed partway through the fight and had to watch the cut scene all over again. I died about four times during that fight so I watched the cut scene more times than needed. It was a fun and cute game that kept me entertained. I disliked the gummie ship parts and the Colosseum but that was a personal dislike not having anything to do with game design or anything like that. Something very important though, you can't go back and play after you've beat the main boss unless you save just before beating him. You'll have to beat him again but it's worth it to be able to play more and get the rest of the goodies offered in the game. Also, the higher level you are the easier it is to beat the final boss. Oh, make sure you leave loads of time for the final battle, it's a long one.

After finishing KH1 I moved on to chain of memories. My boyfriend said it would be wise to play them in that order so I could follow the story line. I didn't care for COM very much so I didn't play through. There isn't as much freedom to move around and it's a card based fighting system which is a little (very little) confusing at first but once you get it you're good. I'll probably go back and finish playing it once i'm done with KH2.

So, after finishing KH1 and part of COM I moved on to KH2. Thankfully my boyfriend filled in the missing story line like who is Namine and Roxis and why Sora is in an egg and why Kairi can't remember him. Those are things you find out after playing through COM. It must have been confusing to play through them when they first came out. COM was made for the gameboy advanced. What if you didn't own one? The order went Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2. If you didn't have one you'd be going for 1 to 2 with huge story line gaps. Playing as Roxis in the beginning was a little disappointing at first and confusing but he's not so bad after you get used to him. Unfortunately you get used to him just as he changes back to Sora. There isn't any Travers Town which is a little sad but Hollow Bastion takes it's place so far. The routes for the gummie ships are drastically different now, I actually like flying it now, and the best part,... you can skip cut scenes! I suggest watching them the first time in battle but if you die and need to play again you can skip right past it!

One thing I really miss is the original voice actors. So many of them changed. David Boreanaz (Angel, Bones) is no longer Leon, Mandy Moore (a walk to remember, save me) is no longer Aerith and Christy Carlson Ramono (even stevens, Kimpossible) is no longer Yuffie. The good thing is the main cast is still the same. Haley Joel Osment (sixth sense, A.I.) is still Sora, Hayden Panettiere (Heros) is still Kairi, and David Gallager (Seventh Heaven) is still Riku. Well that's all for now, the library that I'm in using internet is starting to close. Bye!
