Talk me into playing Kingdom Hearts.

Your platform choices are PS3 and Wii.

I dunno if I can talk you into it. It's probably 50% music, 30% nostalgia, and 20% gameplay for me at this point. That being said, it does have a fantastic soundtrack.

And it does do symbolism pretty well, in one writer's humble but totally perfect opinion.

But the plot has turned into a bit of an incoherent mess. You have to be a diehard fan to try and understand everything. It focuses less and less on the Disney themes that made it iconic and timeless and swapped it for an animu Lifetime drama.

The whole series minus one game is available on the PS3, tho. Series 1

Series 2.

We don't cotton to Disney 'round here. Thanks tho.

Understood. Disney is pretty shit. Honestly Mickey, Donald and Goofy are the only positive disney elements in the game anyways. And I guess the Lion King. The rest of the worlds have annoying damsels in various levels of distress.

Edit: Oh by the way, do you have any experience with Tidal?

Went to TJ max. Wanted a backpack for the vomiting toddler. Grabbed one with a princess on it for $5. Thought it was the only non-branded thing there. Turns out we're so completely out of the loop we'd never even heard of Sofia the First. It was like that time I bought Doc McStuffins wrapping paper because it was cheap and had a black kid on it.

Tidal can fuck off. They're the only streaming service I've ever heard of that wants a credit card number before you can so much as audition their content. When i ripped their tech support a new asshole for this, assuming they'd comp me a month or something (like normal humans) they responded that their product was of high enough quality that they were sure I'd like it if only I gave them money.

Go drip.fm. Pay Stone's Throw $10 a month and get FLAC. Fuck Tidal.

Sweet, I'll check that out. Knew I should ask the resident audiophile. Gratsi.
