I love kingdom Hearts. Ever since I saw the first trailer, I was hooked. However I feel a stronger connection with Kingdom Hearts II. I feel like an Organization member, I know what it’s like to be void of any feeling. The thought of having your identity, ripped from you and left an empty shell. Ever since I was a little boy, I loved the Batman villain Mr. Freeze. Since I was 4 years old, that’s all I wanted to be, I wanted to be a doctor in cryogenics. I collected anything Mr. Freeze, and had such high ambitions. Throughout grade school I was bullied and picked on for my dream. I thought college would be my moment to shine, however all my classes were difficult, nor did they have any use in pre-med. I had to abandon my dream for just biology after 6 years and using up almost all my loans. I’m on my 7th year and I’m on the edge of both nearing graduation and possibly staying longer. During this whole mess I lost a few relatives to cancer, and my parents’ house to foreclosure, and had to move to an apartment. Last January, my dad hurt his knee and we continue to fight workman’s comp. Whether I deserve the Japanese version of KH 2.5 or not, all I know is that this video game and the other video games that were part of my childhood. Kingdom Hearts II was probably my favorite in the series and my favorite game overall. I loved it so much I wouldn’t care it’s in Japanese. Playing video games is not just a hobby but an escape from the problems that we all have.
