Birth By Sleep
Y'gotta love Disney villains

It's Ramadhan! The Pharmacology, MMB-heck, all of the notes are piling up to the point of teetering. Meanwhile, I've just rediscovered my love for gaming. It's all thanks to Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. It's just an English patch of the Jap version so there are gaping holes in the storyline for me but who cares, the game play has been entertaining. Square Enix brought back the joy of exploring from KH by providing larger areas complete with hidden nooks. The script (from what I can catch with my uber pseduo-Jap skills) leaves much to be desired, but I'm hoping it won't be as corny as KH2 was. Or KH Chain of Memories, for that matter. Hopefully the English the version will fare much better.

The graphics live up to KH standards as well, despite being fitted for the PSP console. Sound systems are alright. I haven't checked the composer yet, but I do love Neverland's OST. Wish they could have done better for Radiant Garden (because I'm a dork for Hollow Bastion OST). I did check the voice actors for the upcoming English release though. Surprise, surprise, Jesse McCartney returns. Must have Maleficent turn him into one of the Unbirths. Haha, I kid. He'll probably do a better job than the last time. If they bring Haley Joel Osment in for Vanitas (sp?), I seriously hope the dude will stay sober/not high for the recording sessions.

Needless to say, BBS has definitely revived the KH series. Pretty awesome.

Oh, oh, and a bit of a postscript. I want to slap Madame silly, just so that she can shut her bitch hole for five seconds. Your doughnut got creamed, we get it. So? Just let the issue settle on its own; and it will because Malaysians are not dumb and neither are the Muslims thank-you-very-much.
