A fashionably late podcast, just for you! This week the KH-Vids Podcast reaches a milestone with our one hundredth episode! Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn along with staff guest @Plums, host our former podcast maestro @Peace and War to reminisce on the history of the KH-Vids Podcast -- to look at where we've been and where we are going! We begin by covering a small update Tetsuya Nomura gave on the development of Kingdom Hearts III in an interview with OPM UK about the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake. We also respond to his comments regarding Square's plans (or lack thereof?) to bring the Kingdom Hearts HD Remixes to the PlayStation 4. Moving along, we go through a brief history of the beginnings of the KH-Vids Podcast, stretching all the way back to 2010, when Sabby, Mike, and Korra recorded our very first episode. @Peace and War then shares stories of his time at the helm of the KH-Vids Podcast, followed by your current line-up of hosts sharing some insight about the changes we have made to the podcast since we took over. We list some of our favorite and least favorite things about running the Podcast, and each name the best episode we feel we've been apart of! As always, we answer user-submitted questions! Graxe suggests alien abduction while Scarred Nobody tries (and fails) to punch holes in Misty's love for Star Wars. We also take a Table Topics on the polite way to juggle two conflicting invitations. This week we want to hear from you -- the listeners! We want to know what your favorite episodes have been and what you would like to hear (or see!) us do more of here at the KH-Vids Podcast. Finally, we would like to extend an enormous thank you to all our fans, new and old, for supporting the podcast as you do, even if it's by just a simple listen every week. Thank you for being there and helping us reach one hundred episodes -- here's to one hundred more! http://kh-vids.net/threads/episode-100-the-one-hundredth.151061

It's time for a new episode of the KH-Vids Podcast!

Plums and al215 join Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn for an episode essentially about nothing! We begin by debating our metaphysical existence (thanks to, you guessed it, @Graxe). Next, we share our relationship with our parents and what we admire most about them. @Quilligan poses the idea of introducing a new trio to the Kingdom Hearts series, to replace Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Following that, we divulge the stories behind our (real) names, and @. : tale : . poses the responsibility of selecting an existing Utada song to serve as the theme to Kingdom Hearts III. Finally, we talk about our favorite amusement park rides and experiences. It's a fun-filled episode of the KH-Vids Podcast for children across the globe! http://kh-vids.net/threads/episode-99-an-episode-about-nothing.150888

With the announcement that Kingdom Hearts III will have a presence at the upcoming D23 Expo in August your hosts Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn are joined by staff guest Krowley and member guest Fearless to take a guess at what new information we are going to get out of the event. We talk likely world appearances, characters, and more while inevitably stumbling into our wishlists for what Kingdom Hearts will be. As a bonus this week, we also take the time to answer more user submitted questions than normal with al215 wondering why we haven't done a KotOR spoilercast yet, Quilligan about Life is Strange, Graxe making us ponder about desserts and dragoons, Beucefilous asking a rather interesting question about running a lemonade stand, and . : tale : . agonizing us with fictional characters.

It's Tuesday and you know what that means...! This week on the KH-Vids Podcast, we're doing things a little differently! Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn take a break from our usual Kingdom Hearts and gaming focus to respond to the Supreme Court's recent ruling on same-sex marriage, which is now federally legal in the United States. We cover the importance of the ruling (legal benefits for those in same-sex relationships), worldwide responses to it, and what effect this may have on the upcoming Presidential elections in 2016. As per usual, we answer user-submitted questions! Nobodyslight asks us about podcast tunes, @Plums poses a superpower question, and Quilligan sets @Misty off on an Adventure Time tangent. We also plug the KH-Vids User Awards once again, as well as the new and improved KH-Vids Minecraft server! Share your reactions to the Supreme Court ruling and answer our questions for yourself in the comments! Thanks for listening! http://kh-vids.net/threads/episode-97-love-wins.150790/

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! Please 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! http://kh-vids.net/threads/episode-93-the-strong-female-character.150371/

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 and 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 In?itchu?a (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!

It's Tuesday and you know what that means...! For Episode #90, we go totally 90s in our discussion on Spiritual Successors, chatting about the return of 3D Platformers heralded by the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter! The Banjo-Kazooie spiritual successor, in a remarkably successful crowdfund, reached its goal in under an hour and has since shattered its stretch goals. Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn share their thoughts on the game, cite some games we'd like to see spiritual successors for (Silent Hills), and successful spiritual successors of the gaming industry (Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Shadow of the Colossus, and more!). As per usual, we also answer user-submitted questions! Quilligan asks us to write/direct our own TV show, Scarred Nobody asks about Kingsmen: The Secret Service, and we design costumes for an elite team of fighters (ending in an exultation of cosplay)!

Deprived of anything better to talk about, this week the KH-Vids Podcast flushes out our backlog of user-submitted questions! Joined by staff guest cstar, Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn begin by making some early predictions for E3 2015 in light of Square's announcement that they will host their own press conference at the event. We speculate on the presence of Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III, wonder whether there will be any new Kingdom Hearts reveals (a PS4 remaster collection? the smartphone title Nomura hinted at?), and whether Square will finally bequeath to us a Final Fantasy XII remaster. From there we jump into our user-submitted questions! Graxe gets mythological and philosophical on us and Amaury has us consider the battle cries in the Kingdom Hearts series (which launches us into a tangent on party member AI in the series and Misty's casual disdain for Donald Duck). By far the biggest contributor to our episode is Quilligan, who has us cover topics like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, flatulence, travel, Santa Clause, Mortal Kombat X, celebrities spottings, and the meaning of life. It's a fun-filled, laid back podcast for the masses!
