I just didn't like the whole "bait and switch" feel to the reveal. I wasn't expecting a FF7 remake, I've long since given up on it, I was mainly hoping for maybe another glimpse at Type-0 or something. Then Hashimoto himself stepped up and "Final Fantasy VII" flashed across the screen... I must say, it took me by surprise. Then they started showing the original game footage and I waited for it to transition to new graphics... But it never happened. It was poorly handled, and such an announcement should not have been made during the keynote.

This video sums up my reaction to all this: Square-Enix does what Nintendenix.

A lot of fans, especially ones that straight-up loathed the prequels are in "Fool me once..." mode. Memories of the Episode I trailer causing this massive hype unlike anything else are coming back. Go on a Star Wars fansite, or the comments section of a large website discussing the trailer, you'll probably find people tearing it to pieces, and lots of arguments. Me, well, I don't hate the prequels. I think they could have been better, yeah, and there's definitely some script issues. But I liked Episode I when it came out (I was 9), and my parents did too, (even my dad who hates sci-fi/fantasy movies), and I didn't even know that so many people hated Episode I until I got an internet connection. Still, I think it's best to go into the next film not too hyped yet not too skeptical. I'm just gonna throw everything I expect out the window on the day the film comes out. Until then, I'll just enjoy the ride.

Saw this earlier today. Sweet Jedi Arceus. It's got a different feel from what I'm used to, and I like it so far. Lot of complaining already from what I've heard. Especially about the lightsaber. It looks pretty cool imo. Also this film won't come out for another year, it's just a teaser, a glimpse.

I would buy this if I had some extra disposable income, but unfortunately I don't. I already own 1.5 anyways, so I'll just stick with my original preorder.

Most likely in 2016. Hopefully earlier in the year, but with Square-Enix, you'll never know.

There's a slight chance it could work, but all signs point towards it being awkward if Star Wars was included. Like, the Pirates of the Carribean world was a cool concept, and it's neat having Jack Sparrow as a party member, but the world just seemed out of place, especially in the cutscenes. It just felt kinda awkward. And yet, Tron worked well in KH2, in my opinion. So, who really knows how it would work out? We would just have to see for ourselves.

Indeed, I'm not hardcore enough to 100% Critical Mode if that's what you're implying. =)

Ah, the grind for synthesis materials was a pain in the original game, and it looks like it's even worse in the Final Mix version. Wonder how many hours it'll take me to 100% Proud Mode.

The Smash Brothers Supreme Court is a harsh one, it seems.

I watched some of Vinny from Vinesauce's streams and it was absolutely hilarious. A game I certainly want to play in the future, but I need to burn through some of my backlog first.

Thanks a bunch!!

Soooo pumped for this movie. Also, something occurred to me, since this movie comes out in May, do you think Disney show the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VII with this movie? That would be sick.

(I posted this topic here, but I'm not entirely sure if it belongs here, so mods please move it to its appropriate spot if I'm in the wrong.) So, I guess this is shameless self promotion? Maybe so, but I kinda want to see what other people think of this. I'm starting a video game stream come tomorrow afternoon, hopefully. I did a test stream today, but it was just a hardware test so everything runs right. Tomorrow will be the official start. My first stream I'll be playing Kingdom Hearts HD. I won't be doing speedruns or anything of that nature. I'm just playing through games normally. The way it's gonna work is that I'll start with Kingdom hearts, the next stream will go to another game (possibly Banjo-Kazooie), stream after that will go on to another game(Games like Mario Kart or Smash Bros Wii U when it comes out), and the next stream will go back to Kingdom Hearts. Rinse and repeat until I complete said games. So, what's so special about this stream? Well, I'm challenging myself to lose weight. I'm going to post my weight every stream, with the total weight lost and my goal weight. Every ten pounds I lose, I'll share a progress pic. You see, early last year, I weighed 300 pounds. I drank a two-liter of soda almost daily, and I could down an entire large pizza from Papa Johns by myself. It was a very destructive lifestyle. But, in August 2013, I decided to take the initiative to lose weight. And lose I did. I used the treadmill almost every day. By May 2014, I had dropped to around 225 pounds, a feat I never thought I could accomplish, but I still had much more to lose. But then, something happened: I got a job. Annnnnnd, due to the nature of my job, which exhausts me, especially when I work extra hours, I started turning back to comfort foods to recover from exhausting days of work. The slope was very slippery, I've gotten back up to 250 pounds, and I don't like that. I've tried over and over again to get back on the horse, but the motivation I had last year is gone. So, that's why I'm doing this stream, to give myself a kick in the butt and get back to a healthy lifestyle. By posting my weight on stream, I feel it'll motivate me to lose more and more weight. I know this is a non-standard way to get healthy, but what the heck; I love video games, and most weight loss communities out there don't really have video gamers in mind. They'll most likely try to get you off the games, I'll bet. Can't do that with me! I'm a hopeless geek. Also, I don't like gym environments. I have my own treadmill, and I can do strength exercises at home. And no, this won't be preachy or anything. I'm not gonna be THAT guy who tells people they need to work out. This is just a challenge to myself. If you're a big person and perfectly content with it, then I have no right to tell you that you need to change. So, yeah, that's it. Mainly I want to hear what people think of this, whether it's a good idea or a bad idea or whatever. I'm open to advice or ideas as well! (If anyone actually decides to watch a stream of mine, I apologize in advance for the sound of my voice. It's a nerdy voice and a southern accent fused together. It's kinda bad. >-> ) EDIT: Forgot to post the link to my Twitch channel, if anyone is interested: http://www.twitch.tv/captainadmiralr

This is so weird. I literally just got home from Disney World after spending a week there on vacation, and this is the first bit of news I see. How odd. Well, at least I got to see it in person at least once!

Wonderbook 2 Get hyped.
