I've never been a hardcore gamer; I'm still not. The only games I've really ever played through and won on my own are The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 and Kingdom Hearts 1, 2- I'm working on Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories- and other than that I've mostly played music games like Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Rock Band 1, 2 and Beatles Rock Band. I'm not big into the Resident Evil games or the Halo games or anything like that. I like silly fun games, which is why Lego Batman is still up close to the top of the games I want, following, of course, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. But that'll have to wait, because I don't want to get a PSP right now. : )
But I do have to say that I'm thankful for my brother Jordan for getting me into gaming in the first place. See, he saw me reading the summary for the Kingdom Hearts games for the umpteenth time - and I thought I was being discreet. :) - and went out and bought me the first game. Well, these games just happen to be for the PlayStation 2 console, and I had nothing of the sort, so the game sat in my room for a week, I think, until I couldn't take it anymore and went out and bought a PS2. Luckily for me they weren't as popular as when they had first come out, so I ended up paying 130 dollars for a brand new one; it came with a controller, and I bought a memory card as well, because I knew there was going to be a LOT of Kingdom Hearts gaming that we would be doing.
I loved the game! It was visually amazing!! More so than any other I had ever seen. It was a fantastic game, and I loved how they incorporated the Disney characters (Donald and Goofy are part of your party and they help you fight) and as well the Final Fantasy characters. That was my first foray into the land of gaming, and I loved it!
Suddenly my brother and I connected on a whole different level. We've always been close, Jordan and I, but I gotta say that it was one of the greatest times I've had playing Kingdom Hearts with Jord. He loves all of the Assassin's Creed games, as well as the Halo ones, but we had soo much fun! And that's really what I LOVE about gaming!
I thought that whenever I got married I would have to give up the Kingdom Hearts and the Zelda and all of this stuff and be serious.... Yeah, I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about that! I found out when I was dating my husband that he loves Kingdom Hearts as much as I do! And we've since played it many times through together. The first time I played Chain of Memories we played it together; we played Final Fantasy VII together, and that was amazing! AND, we went to an Anime convention with my best friend Kierra as well. See, this is us:
Our good friends made us our costumes, we're the ones in the silver and the pink (also known as Sora and Kairi.), and they did it in a really short amount of time. They love Kingdom Hearts, too, and so it was really awesome that they were able to do that for us! I appreciate it soo much! See, my husband even ordered himself a "keyblade", what the main character uses to slay the enemies who are known as the "Heartless".
So, the girl in the white dress, that's my best friend Kierra, she's the one who wanted us to go. Her character's name is Namine. And we just happened to run into another Kingdom Hearts person floating around, his name is Roxas. Kinda hard to explain, but Namine and Roxas are sort of connected to Sora and Kairi, which makes this picture so darn awesome!
And, of course, I have to post this picture below, because it's just awesome!
My husband is the biggest ham you will ever meet, but this is "Sora", doing a finishing combo move on a "Heartless." : ) Waay fun!
It was funny, actually, just remembered this story and thought I would post it. I was helping Kierra with her costumes and while I was gone there was this girl taking a picture with David Ace. A lot of girls took their picture with David Ace. Anyway, so I got there in time for the girl to say to him, "By the way, my friend said I could keep you." David Ace laughed and put his arm around me and said, "Sorry, I'm taken, this is my wife." It was quite funny. : )
This blog stuff is awesome! I love it! And especially now that I know how to use it! I'll probably be posting a lot, because I love it soo much!
