Gilbert Gottfried a comedian and actor known for his crude humor, political incorrectness and shrill voice and providing the voice of Iago the Parrot from Disney's 1992 animated film Aladdin and in the Kingdom Hearts games, has passed away today following a battle of a long illness at the age of 67. His publicist told the Washington Post that he died of myotonic dystrophy type 2, a form of muscular dystrophy. He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Feb. 28, 1955, and started performing stand-up comedy at just 15. Gottfried had a short, 12-episode stint on “Saturday Night Live” during Season 6 in 1980, and he reunited with his “SNL” colleague Eddie Murphy on “Beverly Hills Cop II". In the ’90s, Gottfried landed roles in films like the “Problem Child” movies, “Highway to Hell” and “Looks Who’s Talking Too,” before landing his most recognizable voice role as Iago the parrot in Disney's 1992 film, Aladdin and reprised the role as Iago in various media including the direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Aladdin the Animated Series, House Of Mouse, Disney Park attractions and the Kingdom Hearts series of games including Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories and the Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded cutscenes from the Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMix collection. His other major voice roles included Digit from the PBS Kids series Cyberchase, Kraang Subprime in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, Mr. Mxyzptlk in Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League Action, Dr. Bender and his son Wendell in The Fairly OddParents and was the former voice of the Aflace Duck in commercials for the insurance company until 2011. Gottfried is survived by his wife, Dara Kravitz, and two children, Lily and Max. Rest in peace Gilbert Gottfried and thank you for providing the voice of Everyone's favorite loud mouth Parrot.

Good morning, afternoon and evening everyone! How are you doing today? We have seen many awesome revelations these latest months regarding Kingdom Hearts III trailers + news and man aren't they all just lovely and exciting! And what is more exciting that we are getting closer to KHIII on every single day! Which is why I am putting my hopes for one of the "uncommon worlds" that many people think that they shouldn't return in Kingdom Hearts III. It is nothing other than the awesome desert-themed world, Agrabah: "Agrabah! Again?!" Yes my dear friends Agrabah one more time for many reasons: Even though it has been repeatedly appearing in most of KH games, the world comes on different redesigned locations with different puzzles, especially within the Cave of Wonders, and to be honest, I enjoyed every version of it: > KHI brought the platforming designs of the city with the Cave of Wonders having the waterway puzzle which was really interesting to solve. > KHII brought a more opened designs of the city while making the Cave of Wonders more action ish with less puzzles compared to other versions, but more interestingly, it added the city ruins that added a whole new level of action to this world. Flying with the carpet and avoiding the sandstorms, tracing Jafar's clone and fighting different Heartless was so much fun to experience. > KH 358/2 Days returned with more platforms within the new entrance of the Cave of Wonders through the city, and it added an enjoyable boss fight against Pete, after spying over him within the city > KH Coded brought more action, puzzles and some run and gun elements that made the Cave of Wonders to look fresh and interesting to explore and to be honest, even though we have experienced the city of Agrabah, Cave of Wonders, and the Sand Ruins, we are yet to experience the Sultan's palace and we haven't even seen the Sultan himself even though he was referred to back in Kingdom Hearts II. Additionally, we are yet to see the beloved tiger of Jasmine's, Rajah within the palace and also we are yet to see Aladdin himself wearing the prince outfit. Adding to that, even though we have traveled through the desert to see the Sand Ruins and the Cave of Wonders, we haven't TRULY explored the deserts of Agrabah itself. If we were to experience the events of King of Thieves, it would give us the advantage of experiencing and exploring more within the deep desert and the hideout of the thieves while also exploring the Sultan's Palace as new locations instead of having the Cave of Wonders once again. Speaking of the hideout, the movie included a place called the Challenge Arena, in which Aladdin fought one of the strongest thieves and it would be interesting to fight in such arena and get more tournaments by the thieves similar to the routine of getting tournaments from Olympus Coliseum but only this time it would be different and freshly interesting. The thieves can add different type of challenges along with adding Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed to the list. I honestly see much more potentials within the world of Agrabah that are yet to be used, and being able to explore the desert while freely controlling the Carpet similar to Baymax from Big Hero 6, it would give us much more places and locations to view and see. Besides, Kingdom Hearts III is yet to have a desert-themed Disney world so far and adding Agrabah one more time for the events of the third movie similar to how the first two movies were for KHI and KHII would be logical and would add more variety to the list of worlds of KHIII. Some would find Keyblade Graveyard to be a replacement, but to be honest, I find Keyblade Graveyard to be more of a dry ish ground with mountain-themed locations rather than being a sandy desert-themed world and I don't personally see it as a replacement whatsoever. So in summary, the strongest potentials that we could freshly have in Agrabah for Kingdom Hearts III are: - Exploring the Sultan's Palace (Having Sultan and Rajah as new characters) (giving more puzzles and platforms within the palace) - Freely controlling the Carpet and exploring the deep desert - Exploring the hideout of thieves - Fighting the thieves as enemies and having Agrabah guards as NPC/ guest allies - Having more party members with Genie, Abu and Iago joining the list along with Aladdin - Enjoying more NPCs within the city of Agrabah and making it more lively than ever before - Getting routinely tournaments from the Challenge Arena within the thieves hideout - Getting side missions from the citizens of Agrabah - Seeing all of the above with the Unreal Engine 4/ Kingdom Shader, who wouldn't wanna see that XD So I hope I am not the only one seeing such potentials of this awesome world. Sorry for taking that long, but I just wanted to be one of the few voices that are still demanding for Agrabah at least one final time. What do you guys think?

Arabian Niiiiights! ..damn, it's getting late. Oh well.

You don't need a friend like me Wah ah ah, oh my Wah ah ah, no no

Hey guys, Every month, (as long there is no KH3), I will make a poll with 2 KH-fighters in it. You only have to vote for the fighter that will win during a battle (according of your own opinion of course). You could also leave a comment if you want to explain your choice. I'll announce the winner between the two KH-fighters during the new pollround. The third round winner (Red Nocturne vs Red Hot Chili) is... Red Nocturne with 55,56% of the votes! Burn Baby! This month we have Tarzan vs Aladdin. Two optional Disney party members. Who would win in a one-on-one battle? Let the game continue! Greetz, OogieBoogieWoogie

Entry 1: 9/4/14 My loyal followers, I have decided to create a brand new entry in my blog based on something that I feel I must speak my mind against. As you know, I am a moderator of KH13 team and have been recently been given the title "Managing Editor of Show Content". which means I have been given the job of analyzing and keeping check of whatever goes on in the show to make sure nothing is too risque and if I see something unfit, I report it. That, my followers, brings me to the topic of this journal: "Five Questions W/ The KH Cast". This is a series recently created by user Firaga Sensei, who has gained a reputation of being obscene and sometimes just painfully annoying, I must say. This series is a reboot of his previous series, "5 Questions With The Kingdom Hearts Cast"; the only real difference between that and this new series is that it is structured a bit differently and also a bit more focused. The main premise of "Five Questions" is Kingdom Hearts characters host the show and answer five questions submitted by fans and other KH13 members. Now, on paper, this sounds like a good idea right? Unfortunately, the reality is far far worse. I am disgusted with my fellow Kingdom Hearts cast members who have decided to participate with this, as well as Firaga for holding responsibility for their actions and obscene choice of words. They displayed such behavior in the original series' incarnation, but now, they are simply crossing lines. Only two episodes have been published, but with the combined efforts of Firaga, as well as his first two hosts Sora and Riku, they have already made strides to promote such audacious content that even their fellow cast members have shown disgust as well. I'm afraid that I can't personally bring down the show myself. Firaga has a special contract with site creators DChuich that explicitly states he has both creative control and showrunner rights, meaning it can only be shut down under his power and his power alone. But rest assured my loyal subjects, I will do my best to warn Firaga and the cast of the trouble they are putting themselves into, as well as send in my own influences towards the show's content writers in hopes that "Five Questions" can improve upon itself and become a more appropriate addition to the forums, because in my opinion, it is not worthy of being on the forums at all in its current state. But, in due time, my loyal followers. In due time. -- Aladdin, Managing Editor Of Show Content
