    I'm assuming that release date is just Japan only, but yoooooo. Killing Titans would be rad as heck on the go. Though, I'm wondering if they're gonna pull a NUNS 3 route and go by the manga (which is about halfway through the series atm) or just go through the first season of the anime.

    In any case, looking forward to seeing it.

    Hey ho, the wicked Mish, the wicked Mish has fleeeeeeeed! Not really, but she is on vacation, and has entrusted me rather forcefully to represent her in this next round of QT!

    Anyway, you know him! You get news from him! And you get kinda scared of his avatars during Halloween! It's time for:

    Question Time with...
    Krowley!

    A couple of guidelines before you begin..

    1 - Keep it within the rules of the forum, nothing over PG-13. This is still KHV, which means that you must not use this thread as an excuse to berate or harass the Question Time participant. That being said...

    2 - ...The Question Time participant does not have to answer all of the questions.

    3 - The Question Time participant must maintain some level of activity within this thread. Don't leave all of your questions unanswered. You're in the spotlight, baby, so shine!

    4 - Give the Question Time participant some time to answer, and let others have a chance to ask. Remember that they are in the spotlight for at least one week, so do not feel the need to barrage him/her with a lengthy list of questions all at once.

    And now that you have read the rules, you may ask away!~

    Sooo, I've been considering doing a dual partition with Ubuntu/Elementary OS. I don't have a CD nor do I feel like I'm really too skilled with manually making a partition, so I decided to go with WUBI for Ubuntu since it's reliable and quick to install/uninstall.

    However, I quickly discovered that didn't work, due to Windows 8 using UEFI instead of the BIOS, resulting in Ubuntu not loading up when I select it in start up (haven't tried Elementary yet).

    Does anyone know how to go about installing it in the most safe way possible? I mean, I still haven't fully redownloaded all of my files in the cloud from my old computer, but I'd still rather not run a chance of messing this one up bad, lol. ;c

    Hey kids! We hope you’re stoked for the summer (liek toe-2-lee tubular, brah) and, to my tearful joy, the announcement of Kingdom Hearts III (click 'Kingdom Hearts III' to be taken to our Info compilation thread!). But in the mean time, you may be wondering: what can we possibly do?

    KH-Vids is host to a lot of different community events and activities, ranging from trivia to singing to maybe dancing in the future (who even knows at this point knowing y’all). Anyway, it has become aware to us, both through looking over the previous year and having members approach us, that a lot of these events aren't advertised as well as they could be.

    As such, we've decided to create this thread to alleviate that problem! In here, you will find a list of each and every event we have here on KH-Vids, with links to previous competitions/entries, and also the names of the people who run them. This thread is stickied, meaning that it will remain in the top of this section in case you need to look back and check on things. As more events spring up or are updated, this thread will be updated and bumped by either myself or another member of the staff team, so be sure to keep an eye on it!

    It's my hope that we'll be able to create more awareness of what the site has to offer, and that you'll be able to take full advantage of things that you may have wanted to do but did not know were out there!

    LAST PERSON TO POST
    Status: Ongoing
    Previous LP2Ps


    Last Person to Post (abbreviated LP2P) was started back in 2010 (original) and has since become a phenomenon; the goal is essentially to be the last person to post (obvious goal is obvious) before a staff member locks it (though the staff member who locks it does not count, staff are free to participate, and some have even won in the past). Despite a periodic lack of activity every now and then, it’s become something of a Forum Family (/inb4thosearedead) outside of Forum Families, and the participants always end up having a good time (before the 4900 post mark, at which point it’s every [wo]man for themself). So come on in and join the fun, but watch out for the regulars: it's anyone's game here.

    Want to join in? Hit up any of the listed hosts (Feenie, Cat~, Midnight Star, Tequila, DarkTraitor, Bushy Brow) for the current thread!

It allows you to be creative and perhaps take your graphic art to a different level or in a different direction then what you are used to. Beginners and experts are all welcome to submit their work or just to vote on which ones they like or come up with new ideas for themes. It's a great chance to get your piece looked at and to get useful comments that should help you improve so you can't go wrong.

    Status: Hiatus
    Host: Jayn
    Previous Karaoke Nights

    Karaoke Night is a new event that's a bit of a KHV Chorus and Duet Roulette Spin-Off. Mostly everything works the same. A song will be sung, Jayn will mix it and make a video for it. It will be uploaded to Youtube and posted in the KHVC section, etc. The only difference is that Karaoke Night will be utilizing our nifty Radio, and will be mostly centered around solo performances.

    Basically, there will be a specific amount of slots open for people to sign up. When you sign up, you can pick any song to sing, from the list of available songs below. First come first serve. The song options will be randomly pulled from out Voting and Suggestions list just like Duet Roulette. In some cases, we may have special themed Karaoke Nights (like serenade night, rockin' rock night, GANGSTA RAP NIGHT, etc.)

    Unlike Duet Roulette, you don't have to sign up permanently if you want to participate. In summary, you'll just post saying which song you would like. You sing the song, send your MP3 file to chrous@kh-vids.net (just you, no music, timed, just like KHVC) and it'll air on the listed date.

    I've been sitting on this for a while now. At first, I just dismissed it as mere closeness in our friendship, but I was wrong.

    Each time I made fun of you or made jokes about your face, it was to hide how I really felt underneath. Misty, Cassie, I love you, and always, truly have. I look forward to seeing you online and just want my name to be there, right next to yours, even if we are unable to be together ourselves.

    So, after some deliberation between doing another play through of Persona 3 or KH2 first, I decided on KH2. I'm gonna go for a full Proud Mode run, but I thought I'd make it a bit more interesting.

    You guys can set my gameplay conditions (e.g. Only use Kingdom Key, no Drive Forms, etc.)

    On top of this, if for some reason I die in a pseudo boss battle or actual boss battle, I will do a dare that you can hand out to me.

    (( PLS no singing/dancing or videos/recordings of any kind. I am pretty much unable to since my computer is busted. FYI, if it involves making fun of Misty I will probably do it regardless ))

    I'm currently about to start the Prologue, so BOSS BATTLES for reference:

    -Seifer
    -Twilight Thorn
    -Hayner
    -Setzer
    -Axel


    You can either set dates for the boss fights in general or a specific one. I'll keep the thread updated for each world I go to (and subsequent journeys)

    So in my CONFIDENCE BOOST SUMMER 2k13 QUEST, I've been digging and researching ways that we boost and lower out confidence. I stumbled upon this TedTalk and found it really eye opening.

    http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are.html

    I suggest watching the whole video, but for y'all that can't be arsed to, it basically discusses the effects our body language has on our own confidence. From my own experiences, I've always thought of body language as trying to appeal to others (e.g. you don't slouch in job interviews), but never really considered the effects it could have on the person themselves.

    I also noted that I tend to do a lot of the not so confident gestures, like slouching and folding my arms. I've been making an effort to do more confident gestures after seeing this, but I have questions for you, kingdom hearts dash videos dot net:

    1. Are you more confident or more not so confident?

    2. What is your body language like? Do you slouch, spread yourself out, etc.?

    3. Do you believe that changing your body language can really help your own self esteem? Do you think there is something more that you need to do?

    Ever scrawl down some lyrics before you've gone to bed, but had no one to share them with? Have a poet that makes your insides melt? Or do even you have a secret folder of SoKai fics across the Internet that you just need to discuss?

    Look no farther, because Lit Beans 2 is here for you!

    Originally founded in May 2012 by Clawtooth, Chevalier, Stardust and myself, Literate Beans was designed to bring together all the writers of KHV into a stronger community in the Writer's Nook. After much deliberation and suggestions from members, I am happy to announce the reboot to the idea!


    Changes

    Social Groups
    Literate Beans has shifted from the Forum Families section to Social Groups. This was done due to the forum-like capabilities of Social Groups, which would allow for multiple group threads about various topics, rather than consolidating everything into one single thread.

    New Activities

    With the suggestions made in this thread, new activities are available. These include, and are not limited to: Skype Scheduling, Work Advertisements and a group dedicated to critique and comments in the Nook!

    Writing Contests

    Will be starting up again soon! Remember, these contests are On Demand for the moment, so be sure to look out for a poll thread regarding contests in the coming future! For more info, please we the Writing Contest Information Thread (click here).



    I am excited to announce this, and hope you are more excited to join along!

    All rules of KH-Vids.Net apply: Even though this is a family in and of itself, it is still on KH-Vids, and is still held to the same standards as the rest of the site.

    Advertising your work is fine and encouraged, however, do not repeatedly post for someone to read it in a short amount of time. If no one in the family has responded within at least a week to it, you may feel free to post it once more to get some feedback. Remember that others are working on their own work or doing other things too, so people can miss things easily; just because people don't reply to you it doesn't mean they don't like you or whatever, they're probably just busy or doing other things.

    Offline matters an exception, it is appreciated if you try to maintain a regular posting schedule in the family. Just as actual families cannot rely solely on one person to support the whole, Literate Beans will need the dedication and time from all of its participants, be they founders or not.

    The success of this family also relies on an open mind and a positive attitude, therefore please do not argue with other members about their ideas on subjects or critique. If you would like to debate a little about certain things as part of Cafe Sessions that is perfectly fine, and in fact coming to a better understanding about such topics is a place where debate is effective, but please do not let it descend into bickering or slander between parties. If this happens, it could result in a warning, and successive times and result in removal from the group.

    In addition, please remember that those who choose not to join this group are in no way inferior to those who do. Entry to this group is free to all, so just because a person isn't in the group does not mean they are lesser in skill or enthusiasm. Therefore, any signs of elitism on the part of members in the group towards members outside of it, or towards other members in it, will result in a warning, followed by an instant removal from the group if it happens again.

    Have fun! Literate Beans is supposed to be a chilled place for you to relax and talk with fellow writers and readers. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a fresh cup of digital coffee. <3
