KH-Vids Podcast

The KH-Vids Podcast is back! After a two week hiatus, we're coming at you with 96 minutes of pure Kingdom Hearts. What could be better!

Podcast hosts @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by @Cat~, @Karuta, and @KeybearerofSea to cover the presence of Kingdom Hearts at this year's E3 conference -- majorly and unsurprisingly, the new Kingdom Hearts III trailer. We begin by sharing our thoughts on Sora's brand new costume for Kingdom Hearts III, which slims and simplifies our plucky protag. After arguing about glove length for a few minutes, we launch into our full analysis of the trailer, covering fan theories on chess pieces and calendars, the expansive new maps and environments (including the confirmation of a Tangled world!), Attraction Flow and Keyblade Transformation attacks, and much, much more!

We also mention the less-thrilling but always adorable Unchained X[chi] trailer, as well as the absence of any new HD remasters for the Kingdom Hearts series at E3.

Our user-submitted questions this week center around the trailer, with @Scarred Nobody asking what other Disney attractions we hope to see in the title and @Quilligan looking for our new world wishlist. Finally we plug some new developments within our community, including our site's new design and the return of the KH-Vids User Awards.

It's a podcast episode perfect for any Kingdom Hearts fan! As always, you can support and participate in the KH-Vids Podcast by leaving us a comment, answering our user-submitted questions, submitting to be a guest, or sending in questions of your own -- and have a Kingdom Hearts day!

It's podcast time everybody!

This week your usual podcast crew, @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn, host the annual E3 predictions episode! As one of the biggest events in gaming, if not the, E3 promises to deliver new game reveals and news galore. Going through each major conference (Bethesda, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Square-Enix), we make our predictions, call our bets, and place ourselves at the mercy of the great gaming gods. Our coverage of Square-Enix's conference includes speculation on the presence of Kingdom Hearts at the event, including Unchained X[chi], an HD remaster collection, and of course, Kingdom Hearts 3!

As per usual, we also answer user-submitted questions! @Graxe digs up one of the more ridiculous elements of KH-Vids history and @Quilligan asks us about Steven Universe!

Yeah I know I'm late I'm a terrible person
It's time for a new episode of the KH-Vids Podcast!

Having covered news surrounding Kingdom Hearts Unchained X[chi] last week, this week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by staff guest @Krowley to tackle the term "Strong Female Character" -- discussing what we feel the term means, and how it has been misunderstood, misused, and tainted today. Our inspiration for the conversation comes from the recently released movie Mad Max: Fury Road, but -- naturally, for the KH-Vids Podcast, -- we also evaluate the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series' portrayal of women, women's roles in the stories, and how they can improve (mostly by adding more!).

As per usual, we also answer user-submitted questions! @Graxe forces us to limit our worldview and @Quilligan turns us into pugnacious adventurers.We also plug our E3 coverage plans, which we hope you all will be excited about!

This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn, along with staff guest @Karuta, host a very special guest for an episode where we at last get to talk about Kingdom Hearts! Hailing from the biggest Kingdom Hearts tumblr blog, F Yeah Kingdom Hearts Series, as well as KH Decoded and KH13, @Toominator joins us to cover all the recent announcements surrounding the upcoming smartphone port of Kingdom Hearts X[chi], Kingdom Hearts Unchained X[chi].

We discuss the presence of microtransactions within the otherwise free-to-play title, hoping for a system similar to Final Fantasy Record Keeper or some kind of cosmetic shop for the player's avatar. We also speculate on whether Unchained will be our only Kingdom Hearts release for 2015, if we'll see HD Remixes on the PS4 (with the possibility of a bundled Dream Drop Distance?), and address the harrowing question of do I have to actually play it? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)

As per usual, we take user-submitted questions! @Sice has our guests turn into superheros, @Hayabusa asks us to throw down, @Karuta turns our hometown into a Kingdom Hearts III world, and we chat way more about music than is probably appropriate. We also plug our E3 coverage plans, which we hope you all will be excited about!

Joined this week by staff guests @Stardust and @Cat~, @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn sit down this week to discuss gaming's potential as an educative tool! We begin, as always, with Kingdom Hearts news & updates, which this week include speculation on Square Enix Germany's Facebook tease (it has since been revealed to be a smartphone port of Kingdom Hearts X[chi]).

From there we launch into our topic for the day, inspired by the recent PlayStation Plus offering, Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (or Never Alone) a 2D puzzle/platformer that aims to highlight and share the culture of the Alaskan native Iñupiat culture. We cover how games can actively teach things like problem-solving skills, reflexes, critical thinking, and more, and how they have affected our development as both children and adults, and finally, how video games are an emerging artistic and educational medium.

As per usual, we answer user-submitted questions! @Quilligan sticks us in the animal kingdom, while @Graxe exercises his wordplay and challenges our Star Wars fan cred. We also plug our E3 coverage plans, which we hope you all will be excited about!
