So, would anyone be interested in a having a FlyingSheep Wish-List? It'd be pretty simple: you create a list of things (books, CDs, games, etc.) that you'd want to receive as a present, and then send people the URL. It would make for a fun little project. Let me know if it sounds like a good idea or not.

I've been playing Kingdom Hearts a lot in the last few weeks. I've already racked up over 30 hours of gametime. I think I've only got one more world left to defeat.

I have to admit, I was hesitant at first. It really sounded too good to be true. Then I read Gabe's post "The Key Blade can kiss my ass." Oh well, I thought, it's must be pretty bad.

Well, believe it or not, I actually like the game. It moves along quickly, and there were only a few moments in which I had to consult the Strategy guide to figure out what to do. Most of the time it turned out to be something that I could have figured out myself, if I had more patience. I don't really have any complaints about the game at all.

As far as camera angles are concerned, you can (almost) always see any enemy that you target onto. Swing wildly (mash buttons), and you're sure to hit something. While this isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's good enough for me.

As far as the gummi ship thing, *shrug*. I didn't make any modifications to my original ship and I've been okay. Sure, I could have designed a new ship and had fun blasting the snot out of everything - in fact, I still might. But it's very very optional, so if you don't like it, you only have to put up with it once between each world and then warp wherever you want to go.

So, that's my review. I like it a lot, it is as good as I originally expected.

I've added a "Last Updated" counter to the web log link on the main page. That should encourage more people (such as you, current reader) to check out the log more often. Which is good, because if there's something about to change on the website, I'll usually mention it here.

Yes, that's foreshadowing.
