This time, we get down in dirty in the deserts of Agrabah.Not much for me to add on top of what he say here. Agrabah is an important world because that's where we learn about the princesses of heart, and of the villains' ultimate goal of "opening the door."It also helps cement Riku's character as...

Today, we monkey around in the Deep Jungle.If you've been following the stories of each individual worlds in Kingdom Hearts 1, you'll notice that none of them thus far have been straight copies of the movies.

We go to Olympus Colosseum, and I somehow make an Ayn Rand joke...To fill out what was left out of this series, after we finish up in this world, we return later to participate in more tournaments and eventually kick the crap out of Hades.

Today, we talk about one of the most legendary scenes in Kingdom Hearts 1:I've talked about my feelings regarding how Kingdom Hearts' combat feels more plausible than that of its sequels way back when I thought I was good at writing game reviews without scores. (Also, holy shit, that was two years...

Still, I think we did a decent job with this one.I need to work more on my hosting, though. And my incessant need to keep...
