KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

A podcast? At this hour? Damn straight!

This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by @Scarred Nobody for a chat about Let's Plays! Before that, we go over some Kingdom Hearts news & updates, and Cal updates us on some recent revelations regarding the Realm of Sleep in Kingdom Hearts χ (Chi).

For our main discussion, we talk about why people watch Let's Plays, why people do Let's Plays, and why parents just don't understand! Misty also brings up the gender divides in viewership and creation of LPs after watching a really enlightening YouTube video on the subject; it turns out, Google is determining your gender in pretty funky ways, and Cal's YouTube channel has a huge female following and she should be proud.

As per usual we answer user-submitted questions; @Eric Luna makes us choose a video game universe to live in and most of the answers will surprise exactly no one, @Graxe asks what's our poison, and @Knight of Fafnir gives Misty an excuse to gush about Life is Strange (and other games coming out in 2015).

Finally, @Scarred Nobody informs us that former KH-Vids member, @fadedphantom, is actually famous and will appear in the Kill la Kill dub set to air on Toonami this month! Once a KHV member, always a KHV member, so check her out as Mrs. Mankanshoku!

An unforgivably late podcast, just for you!

This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by staff guest @Karuta to discuss Microsoft's recent keynote that featured Windows 10, their newest operating system! Before we get into that, we have our regular segment on Kingdom Hearts news and updates; Tai Yasue has given his millionth interview and Square seems to be on a hiring frenzy for Kingdom Hearts III.

After that we summarize Microsoft's event all the new features coming to Windows 10 and the Xbox One. @Misty complains about the name (alternate podcast title: Whatever Happened to Windows 9?), we open the Start Menu vs. Start Screen debate, discuss the rise of the Windows Phone, express envy over the new Xbox One desktop app, and get all nerd excited for Project Spartan, which will finally put Internet Explorer in its grave. With the mention of Windows Holographic, @Misty and @Calxiyn launch into conspiracy theory mode and fear for their safety.

Finally we take on user-submitted questions! @Graxe talks about apples and body parts with us, and in absence of any other questions to answer, we turn to Table Topics: reveal our deepest and darkest fears, compose our ideal birthday dinners, and try to fix society.

Everyone please listen, enjoy, and leave us a comment!

Kotaku recently sat down with KH3 co-director, Tai Yasue, to ask a few questions on KH3 and the HD remasters. In the interview, Yasue mentions how 1.5 and 2.5 helped with KH3's development, the relationship with Disney, and how Square-Enix is continuously hiring for KH3. The full interview interview can be read below:

The KH-Vids Podcast is back with a brand new episode, just for you!

Joined by @Llaverion and @Sebax, your podcast crew (@Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn) begin by discussing your regularly scheduled Kingdom Hearts news and updates! We address Bill Farmer's tweet about Kingdom Hearts 3 (and subsequent backpedaling), Kingdom Hearts 2.5's sales, and the loss of Chikao Ohtsuka, the Japanese voice actor for Master Xehanort.

From there we move along to our major topic for the week, the lack of representation for people of color in this year's Oscar nominations. We cite some horrifying statistics re: Hollywood & the Academy's 'straight white male' hegemony and the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag, and branch into discussions about Disney's weird relationship with diverse films and The Interview.

Finally, we answer user-submitted questions! @Graxe asks what we would do if we woke up wearing the Majora's Mask, @Highlandeɼ is interested in what games KHV has made us want to play, and @KHGrl15 makes us choose a fictional universe to live in!

Please everyone listen, enjoy, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
