Do you prefer wireless or wired controllers?
I love wireless controller. What I end up doing is carrying the controller everywhere, into the kitchen, etc. It's certainly not new technology but it's so nifty

My Selfish Reasons For Not Being Excited About 1.5HD
I honestly can't get excited about this because, while I obviously can never get enough Kingdom Hearts in one lifetime, an export to the United States would compel me to buy a PS3 and 1.5HD. I don't want to buy a PS3. They're too damn expensive. I'd love to have one, but I don't want to buy one. Bask in my incredibly backwards logic :ph34r: Anyone else feeling this way? Maybe I'm just so materialistic but also so poor that I'm just in denial

I Want to Hear a Good Conservative Opinion
It looks like you've done just that, so thank you But the issue isn't equal exposure to different theories, it's that intelligent design is more of a philosophical idea rather than a scientific theory. Basically, it's an unproven hypothesis. People can believe what they like, but if the evidence comes into play then evolution does come out on top. And I don't see why somebody has to choose between God and evolution o.O The idea of evolution basically breaks down to this: When creatures reproduce, the offspring is not exactly the same as its parent(s), which can be easily observed, and also that dead animal can't reproduce. What I mean by that, and I'll keep it very short, is that animals are not perfectly suited to their environment, it's just the animals that are suited to their environment that didn't die. If I can indulge in an over-simplification: If the world ended in nuclear war and all that was left was cockroaches, that doesn't mean that the world was obviously designed with cockroaches in mind. They're just the only animals that survived. Well, when it comes to abortion it really breaks down to somebody's life not being ruined by a simple mistake. With rape and life endangerment it's really not something anyone should be forced to go through with, especially if we have the means to prevent it. I know you find abortion to be a terrible thing, and I understand where that comes from, but can you imagine going through the traumatizing experience of being raped, then when you think the horror is finally over, you're forced to carry the child of the rapist inside of you? I can't imagine the psychological horror of something like that. With regards to people getting abortions as a form of birth control is just... well... honestly, who has that kind of money? An abortion can run you 500-1000 dollars. I'm not sure if anyone actually does that. And if they constantly run up a check getting abortions just because it makes people angry, I'd be right there with you calling that person an asshole Now, if you mean using abortion as a safety net for the 0.001% chance that your other birth control fails, I don't think the failure of birth control should doom that person to raising a child if they made an honest effort to prevent it. Not to mention that if you make abortion illegal, people will go back to the medieval methods of coat hangers and staircases. That's just extremely dangerous. But this is just talking about passing a law about abortion, not your personal life. If you personally don't believe abortion is an option in your personal affairs I'd be damned to say that's not your right to stick to your principles. As for gay marriage, I never associated it with getting married in a church. I don't know why they would want to be married in a church. But being legally espoused and reaping the legal benefits that everyone else can seems perfectly fair to me. I can't speak for myself, being a straight man, but I imagine that being gay is no different than being straight. You have one gender that is sexually appealing and one that is not. I don't choose to be straight, and I couldn't be gay even if I tried, so I have no reason to believe that homosexuality is within somebody's control, and they shouldn't be punished for it. But again, if we're talking about marriage in an actual Christian church, I don't see why they would want to in the first place. It'd be like me wanting to have my birthday party at a radical feminist meeting, I simply would not be wanted there because I violate their principles inherently. Yeah, people get all woozy when they think about Mitt Romney being a mormon, and that's still being a Christian. People also made a big deal about this conspiracy of Obama being a "secret Muslim." Even if that was true... so what? And i think he's proven himself to be a Christian, but what he doesn't do is shove it down people's throats or try to make it law. That's why I like him.

I Want to Hear a Good Conservative Opinion
I know everyday people that are conservatives and most of them are not religious zealots, I agree. I actually do agree with conservatives on a lot of issues. We do need to protect our borders more (im against illegal immigration), far too many people exploit the system, veterans are treated piss poor, the list goes on. With political issues, i find conservatives and liberals to both be right, the only thing wrong is that they're divided so vehemently. The conservatives I take issue with are the ones that want to put their religion in to law. Y'know, don't teach evolution, teach intelligent design, make prayer mandatory, outlaw abortion and gay marriage, and I don't know if this is an issue from both sides or just Americans as a whole, but we can not seem to elect any president that is not Christian. If you're not a Christian you probably won't even make it on the ballot. It's that kind of stuff that annoys me, and when people try to outlaw blasphemy and such. I'm not saying most conservatives are like that, but the higher-ups usually are, and thats what screws things up royally for everyone and that's what makes me angry. I know politics get nasty, so I'll try to keep the conversation lighter. I'm not here to make enemies ^^

I Want to Hear a Good Conservative Opinion
I tend to find a lot of liberals to be naive, and a lot of conservatives to be infuriating. Especially ones that try to "bring America back to how it should be" with women being beaten and forced to cook, children being beaten to a pulp and told they're sinners, and everyone taking more than what's theirs. I know once it comes to the topic of religion I lose a lot of charisma, but I am an avid anti-theist and religion in all forms disgusts me to no end. That said, in any normal conversation, if you're religious and we're talking about anything other than religion, I'm almost guaranteed to leave you alone. It takes too much energy and frankly I don't want to be that much of an asshole. I like being nice to people and I didn't come to a Kingdom Hearts fansite to prostletize But anyway, I agree with a lot of things conservatives and liberals say. It's not something you can easily pidgeonhole yourself into. There aren't that many people who truly fit the archetypes of full left or full right. Most people have the common sense to comprimise. That's a little faith in humanity, right? As for gay marriage and abortion, I don't think they should be debatable issues. They should simply be legal, no debates or anything.

Ways Xehanort's plan could have unraveled, part 1: Birth by Sleep
Xehanort could have gone back in time and told himself everything that was going to unfold and how to plan accordingly. Wait a sec...

Wreck-It-Ralph KH3 tie in
Usually whenever the Kingdom Hearts story is going on and I see a Disney character it ruins any epicness or seriousness it might have had and just reminds me how dumb the game really is I guess it doesn't necessarily break the fourth wall, but it breaks immersion in a similar way to breaking the fourth wall. It just screams: WARNING! YOU ARE PLAYING A WEIRD CROSSOVER GAME WITH CHARACTERS THAT DONT FIT TOGETHER!

A New Metroid Remake.
I'm not sure why the Prime series was only given 3 games, i love them. Although my favorite metroid is still Metroid Fusion

whats the deal with soras auto recovery?
Yeah, I beat him as well but I will agree that in 3D the air recovery took two step backwards. By the time you can actually recover, he hits you again and you die. Happened to me a few times.

I really love L' Oscurita del Ignoto it's a great piece of music.
I used to leave that on as background music while doing other things but I reached probably 6 hours of listening to it so now I can't listen to it for long anymore. I did the same thing with L'Impeto Oscuro

Do you play games every day?
Every day. I hardly ever go through any day having played no video games at all. They're the lifeblood of my day. I think life is REALLY boring, so if I don't play video games I feel like I'm in solitary confinement.

What is the 3rd party company that you hate the MOST
EA, without a doubt. They do everything that every company does to ruin the gaming industry in one nice little unapolagetic, price-gouging, corrupt package.

Why Can Sora Use The Keyblade?
The Kingdom Key is the keyblade that's given to the guardian of the Realm of Light. As you know, it looks like this: It originally chose Riku to guard the realm of light, but Riku embraced the darkness, so it abandoned him and went to Sora. There's also a keyblade for guarding the Realm of Darkness, called the Kingdom Key D It's wielded by King Mickey, and he protects the Realm of Darkness, just like he did at the end of Kingdom Hearts 1. The Kingdom Key is a keyblade that chooses its wielder, it's not one that requires a ceremony. The Kingdom Key of Light chose Sora as its wielder, that's one keyblade, then Ventus's heart allows him to hold a second keyblade.

Finally, some logic around parenthood.
I'm glad it went in that direction and not the other. I'd have no agree with that. Especially because a woman can easily trap a man by not informing him that they stopped birth control, and he still has to pay the consequences.

PS Vita - General discussion
It needs to be a whole hell of a lot cheaper. And then it needs games. Including the memory card, it costs as much as a Wii U. I'd rather have a Wii U.

Xenoblade Chronicles: A Desperate Gamble for a Good Game
So, in the years of owning a Wii I haven't exactly been graced with frequent high-quality releases. I liked Mario Galaxy and Skyward Sword and such, but overall it seems that the release date for good games on the Wii is pretty much bi-annual. That being said, I've heard nothing but good things about Xenoblade Chronicles. The gameplay looks fun, it's open-world, and it looks gorgeous, especially for a Wii game. The render distance looks extremely far, with the environments not having shoddy textures. You may think I'm grasping for straws being a Wii owner, and I really am, but I've honestly heard great things about it and I'm excited that there's a title out there that works well on the system (or so it seems). Now, I have 2 reservations about buying this game: You never now how a game actually feels until you play it yourself. The price. This game can be bought on eBay or amazon for anywhere from $50 to $100. That's not a price point to gamble. So here's what I'm looking for: I want to know, from people who have played this, if this game is actually worth the price, or if it's overhyped and not all that great. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks, fellow KH13'ers
