I've beat lots of monsters!

...yeah! There was that nasty one from Persona 3, That huge but strangely beautiful Aqua Twilight whatever from Legend of Zelda, the boss from Pacman World 3...
Okay. It's Father's Day. I think that before I go into the bullet list and confession reel I ought to say this: were it not for my dad, I would have no internet. Therefore, you would not be reading this. Thanks, dad, for paying the internet bill every month.
I woke up this morning pretty early for a Sunday. And Mami wasn't screaming at me to start cleaning. All very good signs. So I got up, had some Eggo waffles, and started playing. Well. Mami was apparently waiting until I was actually having fun to stop me and remind me that I needed to sweep and mop and take out the trash and clean the kitchen. You have four daughters, lady. Why am I stuck with all of that?
Anyway, I got it done and got back to the nobel game.

So I'm in Wonderland. Right now I'm actually reading the classic Alice in Wonderland to the fifth grade class I'm teaching for summer school. They're liking it. Anyway. Red Nocturnes. I thought that it was Donald shooting fire at me the first time I played this, years ago.
I love how the DRINK ME bottles have a picture of a tree on them, with arrows from big tree to small tree and small tree to big.
The Queen of Hearts is one nasty lady. I thought, and I still think, that fighting her in a boss battle would have been pretty epic. She could have a sonic scream that would render Sora and company dizzy. And then she'd whack 'em with her septer. The septer that looks kind of like a lollipop.
I have developed a dirty mind since last playing this game all the way through, so when that flower says "Give me a Potion and I'll make you bigger", I run. DAMN PERVERTED FLOWER.
OKAY. WHO IS IN THE TREE??? 'CAUSE WHEN I HIT IT, IT EITHER SAYS "Whee!" OR "Ow! My head!" IT'S THIS THING WITH DISEMBODIED VOICES. LIKE IN THE HOTEL IN THE SECOND DISTRICT OF TRAVERSE TOWN. WHO IS BEHIND THAT CURTAIN, HONESTLY? FREAKS ME OUT.
There is no logic in Wonderland. There isn't supposed to be. So I won't go on about all the irregularities. I just won't.
I forgot to mention how much I love Sora's face when the Doorknob talks for the first time. I want a screenshot of this.
I'm not weird for thinking the Cheshire Cat was controlling the whole operation, am I?
It occurred to me today that it would be cool if I could drink the bottle to grow bigger, the Trickster boss would be about my height. Has anyone tried that?
Also bear in mind that back before I owned the game proper I was renting it from Blockbuster without a memory card and I usually only got this far in one sitting.
Isn't Ifrit one of Yuna's summons in FFX?
Usually I head back to Traverse Town after I beat a world, to get caught up on leveling up. My favorite world in this game is probably Neverland, and I have a crazy idea to be on level 99 when I get there. Is it going to happen? Probably not. I also like Monstro, despite the anatomical differences. And Hallow Bastion.
I really with I could set Donald and Goofy's configuration to "Support Sora". Yet another reason why you must appreciate the second game more.
I FORGOT WHAT A PAIN IT IS TO MANUALLY GAIN YOUR MAGIC BACK.
Leon's in the underwater cavern.
Okay, I have access to Merlin's, but I'm not in the mood to practice magic. Or to have Sora experience another Kairi hallucination.
I'm thinking I should head to the three star world because I'm ahead on level and that'll only beef me up, but I don't want to mess with the plotline. The Collesium it is!
Okay. Phil's half goat. Is there a proper name for that, exactly? I forget. Also, dirty mind made another appearance when he pushed up against the pedestal repeatedly. Eeeww.
THE FRIGGIN' BARREL MINIGAME. I HATE IT. DOES IT REALLY TAKE 4 HITS TO SMASH A DAMN BARREL WITH A KEYBLADE???? IT'S A KEYBLADE. IT'S MAGICAL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT??? NO MATTER HOW HIGH YOU LEVEL UP, IT STILL TAKES 4 HITS. FOUR VERY TIME CONSUMING HITS. AND YOU'RE ON A TIME LIMIT. AND SORA KEEPS JUMPING OFF THE PLATFORMS.
Look how much taller Hades is than Sora. Now. Wrap your brain around this: If you imagine that those proportions relate to me and my cousin - me as Sora him as Hades - and know that he's fourteen.... yeah. God.
