IABAVG: Kingdom Hearts 15: Winnie-the-Pooh is my spirit animal
Gameplay: 18:00-something.
Level: 24
World: Traverse Town, Hundred Acre Wood, Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah
I am working late today, so I probably won't play, or won't play much, tonight when I get off work. Videogames are not that relaxing for me when I am already tired, which I usually am when I don't get off work until 8pm or so. So I'll post about where I'm up to now, I guess.
Okay! So yesterday when I posted I was SO CONFUSED, but I eventually figured out that the "Red Trinity" I had to activate to open the grate to the sewers is actually UNDER THE WATER so I couldn't actually see it. Smooth move, game. So, blah blah, talking to Leon, blah blah. Leon sends me back to talk to Cid, which is what I was JUST DOING but whatever, VIDEOGAME LOGIC. So I go back to the Accessory Shop, and Cid gives me a book and is like "Go talk to the WIZZARD while I fix ur ship."
Let me tell you, Merlin, you might want to invest in some lightbulbs. It took me about ten minutes to realize that I wasn't supposed to swim over to his little cottage, NO. There were actually INVISIBLE MOVING ROCKS I needed to jump on to get across. They are not actually invisible; it is just like that Problem Only Goths Have where you are trying to find your favorite shirt (black) amidst your other clothes (black) inside your bag (black) in your darkened room (black). Like, I get that you are going for ~ambience~ or some shit, but it's like when you go to a restaurant and the lighting is all fucked up and you are like WHY IS MY PASTA PINK. Sometimes you just want to be able to see shit.
Eventually I effectively darkened the room I was sitting in enough to get across to Merlin's house, and then wandered around it in order to figure out how to get inside. MERLIN YOU ARE SO TRICKSY. It took a while! Mages are assholes.
And apparently Merlin is shacking up with Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. FOR REAL. Anyway, she gave me the ability to summon Simba, which I hadn't really figured out how to do when I tried to use him in battle later, which is unfortunate, since he sounds pretty great. HE'S A FUCKING LION. I am for hitting evil dudes with a FUCKING LION. And Merlin was like "And also, let's talk about this book." Which is a WINNIE THE POOH BOOK FUCK YEAH.
Let me tell you about my feelings about Winnie the Pooh: POOH IS BASICALLY MY SPIRIT ANIMAL OKAY. I mean, okay, I cuss more. but mostly I want to tool around eating honey and chilling with my friends, and sometimes my obnoxious gardener friend decides that when I get stuck in his doorway on account of being a fatty, he should decorate my butt. I grew up on a diet of Pooh (and Care Bears, I guess) and when I was little, I often declared my full name to be Angela Kay Lastname-Pooh. My dad still refers to me as such. My point here is that POOHS SHOULD NOT BE SADLY SITTING ON LOGS CONTEMPLATING THEIR IMPENDING DEATH. OH FUCK POOH. I AM GOING TO FIND YOU ALL THE PAGES SO YOUR FRIENDS CAN COME BACK AND YOU CAN STOP BEING SAD AND MAYBE HAVE HUGS. :( HE IS HUNGRY, YOU GUYS. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HUNNY TREE ANYMORE. :( :( :(
After that, I had to stop and turn off the game for a little bit because nobody needs a sad Pooh bear. :( Eventually, I got over it and went to go find Cid, who has suddenly decided to stop hanging out at the Accessory shop. Blah blah, some shit happened. Some of the shit that happened was that the party ran into Riku! Riku is all butthurt that he doesn't get to fight evil, and because he doesn't get to fight evil, he has decided to hang with Malificent, who is totally conspiring to make him hate me. It's okay, I don't blame Malificent; Riku was clearly an asshole to start with. Apparently I get to kick his ass later. I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
AND THEN I HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER BOSS FIGHT IN TRAVERSE TOWN. Fucking seriously, you guys. ANOTHER ONE? It was the SAME THING, except he flipped all his shit around, and I was like FFS, Giant Heartless With Lots of Component Parts, DID I NOT ALREADY KILL YOU? It was kind of exciting! I was pretty bad at dodging his FUCKING LASERS once he got all pissed off, because Dodge Roll only works so well when you are in a relatively confined space. Luckily, Donald Duck basically wants to do nothing but heal me. I know eventually he gets irritating in his Going Through MP ways, but he was pretty useful in this fight.
THEN I GOT TO GO BACK TO THE COLISEUM FOR THE PHIL CUP. I learned a bunch of new magic and won the Phil Cup! YEAH! I don't really have much to say about this, aside from FUCK I HATE THE FLOATY GREEN HEALER HEARTLESS. Those dudes are ASSHOLES.
And then I went to Agrabah. Which by the way, I still hate the flying sections, SO MUCH. I don't have much to say about Agrabah yet except THERE ARE HEARTLESS WITH FUCKING SCIMTARS HERE, and also pots that grow spider legs and WALK AROUND. Also, I rescued a flying carpet. Eventually I'll have to go out to the desert and track it down, I guess.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: I can't have both Dodge Roll and Guard equipped simultaneously, can I? :( Which is it probably in my best interest to equip? I love all Dodge Rolls, but Guard seems like it might be useful? I don't know! I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I hear it is useful in some of the other fights in the Coliseum, anyway.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION: Uh, what exactly does Aero do, anyway?
In other news, "webinar" is a silly non-word.
