    A podcast episode? On time!?

    This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by @al215 and @Llave to discuss some of the recent news coming out of Nintendo in the past few days. Their new Legend of Zelda title, slated for release on the Wii U, has been pushed back into 2016 and will not make an appearance at E3 in June, they're entering the smartphone market in a partnership with popular Japanese developer DeNA, and are working on a new mystery console codenamed the Nintendo NX. Given their precarious state in the gaming market, and continuous decline in the last few years, could Nintendo be headed for trouble? Only time will tell!

    We also pay a quick homage to Hideo Kojima's forthcoming departure from Konami and wonder what that will mean for the Metal Gear Solid series.

    As always, we answer user-submitted questions! @Shu gets spiritual with us, @Graxe pitches the plot to Castaway, and @Amaury asks about our first gaming experiences.

    Wednesday episode because we had some server troubles last night!

    This week @Kairi ♥ joins @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn to share her experience with the Final Fantasy XV demo that released with the PS4 remaster of Final Fantasy Type-0. We begin, as always, by mentioning what little Kingdom Hearts news and updates we have, which includes speculation on what we'll see later this year at D23 Expo Japan 2015.

    From there we go through the entirety of the demo, which focuses on the main cast of characters saving money to fix their car by hunting down Behemoth. We cover our thoughts on the gameplay, which borrows heavily from the Kingdom Hearts series, technical issues within the demo, our thoughts on the characters and voice acting, the Ramuh summon, and how the demo has helped (or hurt) our feelings about the long-anticipated title.

    Next up, we answer user-submitted questions! @Shu asks us where babies come from, an anonymous sender asks what non-video game franchises we'd like to see enter the gaming medium, and @Graxe teases @Misty about her struggles with Seymour Flux in Final Fantasy X.

    Thanks everyone for listening, and please participate in the podcast by either following the links below or leaving us a comment with your thoughts on the demo and your answers to our user-submitted questions!

    The KH-Vids Podcast coming back at you, on Tuesday!

    Joined by @Plums, the KH-Vids Podcast crew ( @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn ) sit down to cover two of gaming's biggest conferences/events, GDC and PAX East, and all of the exciting announcements to come out of them!

    We begin by discussing the enormous presence of virtual reality at the events, the neat demos and specific information Sony dropped about their VR headset, the Morpheus. We follow the Sony track by highlighting the features coming to the PlayStation 4 in their 2.50 firmware. From there, we mention some of Microsoft's announcements and @Misty once again gripes about Fable Legends. Valve had some time in the spotlight as well, with their new lineup of Steam Machines and the Steam Link, their new streaming box. Following those tech giants, we cover some of the smaller announcements that interest us specifically, including (but not limited to!) the Maxis shutdown, Shadow of Mordor being named Game of the Year, Metal Gear Solid V and the PS4 port of the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster's release date, and Rock Band 4!

    Next up we answer user-submitted questions! @Graxe asks what we do if fungal growths appeared on our bodies, @Shu wants to know our favorite nationality, @Quilligan poses the harrowing question of our Favorite Video Game Of All Time™, and @Misty has the group reminisce over some Rock Band memories. Finally, we congratulate @Sebax on his Top 5 victory!

    Grimes dropped this little bomb on her tumblr this morning -- a demo from her lost album. After the success of Visions in 2012, the follow-up album promised a more mainstream sound from Grimes, as she dabbled in the industry and ultimately wrote a song for Rihanna. Fans were upset and accused Grimes of "selling out," and she in turn trashed her album. It's since taken on sort of a mystical quality (she posted this as a demo from the "~ the lost album ~").

    I'm really digging REALiTi, I actually think it's a return to what we heard on Halfaxa rather than a more 'mainstream' sound, a great blend between Visions and her earlier influences (though undoubtedly cleaner and more accessible). I love the video too, exactly what I'd expect from Grimes. Given the positive reaction to the release, she tweeted saying she'd try to re-record the song and would consider it for her new album, but made no promises as she feels she has better in the pipeline.

    I support her decision, as an artist, to toss whatever she's unhappy with, even if REALiTi makes me even more curious to hear the lost album, but knowing that she's working on better gets me hella pumped for whatever she puts out next.

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

    This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by member guest @lockedongamer for a chat about sequels... and we actually get to talk about Kingdom Hearts this week!

    We begin by paying our respects to Leonard Nimoy, who passed away last week at age 82. Nimoy is best known for playing Spock in the original Star Trek series, but has had an illustrious career as an actor, director, writer, and musician, and voiced Master Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Though we also lament the lack of Kingdom Hearts 3 news, we also acknowledge that Final Fantasy XV's demo is near, and make ourselves feel very old when we realize just how long XV has been in development.

    From there we head on to our major topic for the week! We start off by establishing what we want (and don't want) out of a sequel, and discuss a sequel's responsibility to build upon the events of the original material, but also provide an entry-point for new fans. This will be a challenge especially facing Kingdom Hearts 3, as it will be the first entry on a Microsoft console for the series, and we speculate on how that will be handled. Some of our favorite, cited sequels include Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and our least favorites are The Sims 4 and Batman: Arkham City.

    Returning to the context of the Kingdom Hearts series, we extend the discussion into what changes and improvements we want to see in Kingdom Hearts 3, including changes to the Gummi Ship, achieving the sense of wonder found in the original Kingdom Hearts, a deeper attention to graphics and detail, unique worlds and storylines for returning worlds, a blending of elements from past battle systems, multiple playable characters, and much, much more!

    Finally we dive into user-submitted questions! @Graxe questions our favored brands of toothpaste, @Knight of Fafnir wonders about our favorite Keyblades, @Shu brings out the anarchist in Misty, and @Quilligan asks what we thought of Life is Strange!

    We didn't really note it in the episode, but today also marks the one-year anniversary of our relaunch of the KH-Vids Podcast! Episode #39 marked a new beginning for the podcast, when we established a regular host lineup, our current format, and, perhaps most importantly, our weekly release schedule. We'd like to thank all our fans, old and new, for listening to us this past year and for participating in the podcast! It's a joy to create this episodes for you guys and I hope to see many more anniversaries in the future. To celebrate, from now on episodes of the KH-Vids Podcast will now be uploaded to our YouTube channel! We hope that this will be an accessible way for our fans to listen to our episodes, as well as bring in a whole bunch of new fans! Episode #83 can be found here.

    As always, thank you for listening, and please participate in the podcast by following the links below or leaving us a comment with your thoughts on the episode and your answers to our user-submitted questions! You can also check out our member guest, @lockedongamer, on his YouTube channel.

    Slightly late podcast but not nearly as bad as it's been
    It's time for a new episode of the KH-Vids Podcast! Joined by @Llaverion and @cstar, @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn sit down to discuss Eastern and Western game development -- we begin by defining the characteristics of each, from our perspectives, and discuss differences in gameplay mechanics, storytelling, and character designs. We also cover how Eastern development lagged in the past console generation, while the West claimed their stake -- and how the industry more and more is forcing the East to adapt elements of Western game design, while holding true to their roots.

    Afterwards we answer a user-submitted question from @Graxe about which card in a deck fits us best, and two Table Topics (our favorite deserts and us as parents!). For community news and projects, we plug once again the Top 5 Seasonal Spotlight, and pay homage to our dear and departed (resigned) administrator, @Sanya.

    It's a fun-filled podcast for the gaming masses, so please have a listen, participate in the Podcast by following the links below, and leave us a comment with your thoughts and your answers to our user-submitted questions!

    A podcast... on time!?

    By the suggestion of the graceful and delicately understated @Knight of Fafnir , KH-Vids Podcast hosts @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by podcast alum @Llaverion for a discussion about preorders! We establish gamers' reasons for preordering, why & how publishers and retailers encourage the practice, and preorders that have disappointed us. Made to feel guilty over her preorder for The Order 1886, @Misty addresses some of the backlash the game has received in the weeks before its release, which leads us into a discussion of the nature of game review scores and the value of playing a game for yourself.

    Afterwards we launch into user-submitted questions! @Graxe poses the offer of a suddenly enormous and controllable tongue and @Eric Luna asks us to take the place of a video game protagonist. We also answer a Table Topics question about our most controversial personality traits, which somehow leads into a debate about the relative pros and cons of wearing socks.

    Finally we plug some community news and projects! The Top 5 Winter Seasonal has begun, where video editors can earn a pin, a special Wonderland prize, and a chance to be featured on our homepage! We also remind everyone of the opportunity to suggest games for future Spoilercasts through our topic submission form! So if there's a game out there that you really feel we could have a good discussion about, definitely send it our way and we'll look into it.

    Please everyone enjoy the episode, leave us a comment, and participate in the podcast by following the links below!

    Late podcast but long podcast

    This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn host the first of many Spoilercasts, where we discuss a certain game in all its in-depth, spoiler-y glory! We selected The Last of Us, Naughty Dog's hit PS3 game (that has also been remastered for the PS4), which follows Joel and Ellie as they survive in a zombie-like infected world.

    Starting from around 15 minutes in, we cover our general thoughts about the game, our favorite characters, the game's contentious ending, the Left Behind DLC, the upcoming movie, and the possibility of a sequel.

    Not interested in The Last of Us, or you don't want to be spoiled for it? That's okay! You can skip ahead to 1:44:40 for our user-submitted questions! @Graxe makes us select between Soul Edge and Soul Calibur (which prompts @Misty to discuss her video game boyfriend, Kilik), and @KHGrl15 gives us the option to date a Kingdom Hearts character!

    It's a fun-filled podcast that I hope you all enjoy! Please leave us a comment with your thoughts, answer our user-submitted questions, and participate in the podcast through the links below!

    @Rik and I got into an interesting conversation about this and I thought it'd be fun to pull out for all of us to speculate on!

    I'm very hopeful that Maleficent will play a big role in Kingdom Hearts 3, despite Master Xehanort almost definitely being the main baddie for the game. She's really just the quintessential Disney villain, to me, and that's something I noticed when I recently visited Disney World. For a lot of their shows (Fantasmic, the Castle shows, parades, etc.), Maleficent was featured prominently if not made out to be the main villain. Fantasmic in particular had a very KH-esque plot, when Maleficent conspires with other famous Disney villains to turn Mickey's dreams into a nightmare. She's bonkers and over-the-top and a really nice contrast to the pure evil of Xehanort.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 left Maleficent in a position to return, of course, and she clearly still has a role in the series after Coded. Let's not forget that she would have been left to rest after the first game if not for a fan vote bringing her back in Kingdom Hearts 2!

    Finally, I think the recent Angelina Jolie flick (which I've not seen yet but I know what it's about) could make Maleficent a more sympathetic character if sourced in Kingdom Hearts 3, and end in a potential team up between her and Sora & co. to take down Xehanort; sort of an "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation.

    So basically, I want to know if others are with us! Do you think Maleficent is done in the series (or, just as importantly, do you want her done in the series)? Or does she still have a role to play, and what sort of role will that be?

    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!

    It's still Tuesday in some parts of the world get off my back

    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!

    Returning from our holiday hiatus, your favorite podcast crew -- @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn -- are coming at you with a new episode!

    Joined by @Shu, we first address Kingdom Hearts news and updates, as usual! Recent comments from Tai Yasue suggest that Kingdom Hearts 3 news will almost certainly pick up in 2015, hopefully to a similar level that Square (and Hajime Tabata particularly) has brought Final Fantasy XV to. Later, we tackle the subject of New Year's resolutions -- whether we had one in 2014 and whether we've made one for 2015 -- and what new releases and life changes we're looking forward to in 2015. Misty gets on her soapbox roughly three to nine times -- you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shout at her to get a blog (joke's on you, I already have one)!

    Next we flush out some of our old user-submitted questions! @Quilligan has Misty create a roster for Kingdom Hearts Dissidia, @Eric Luna asks us to contemplate our morality, @Risky Biznu asks us to write/direct a jukebox musical, @Graxe appreciates color formats, and @Highlandeɼ asks if we've ever received celebrity attention.

    Finally, we cover some community news and updates! Users can still participate in our annual Castle Oblivion event, where your Kingdom Hearts knowledge will be put to the test for some neat prizes! Our annual Christmas video is also available to watch, which we strongly urge you to check out if you want to stop taking your staff team seriously. Lastly, we plug some of the places you can check out and support our recently-resigned administrator @Jayn, like her Patreon, YouTube, or by a simple donation.

    Tell us your New Year's resolution, what you're looking forward to in 2015, and your thoughts on the episode in the comments below!

    Hello everyone! It's Christmas which means it's time for our annual Christmas video!


    We've teamed up once again with our friends at KHRecharged to wish you all a happy holiday and New Year. I meant to make this post earlier but I was busy spending time with family, which I hope you all were too (or simply with your loved ones)!

    Thanks for a great year everyone, and don't laugh too hard at us. Except Krowley. You have full license to laugh at Krowley.

    It's Tuesday and I'm actually on time!

    This week @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn are joined by @Plums and @KeybearerofSea for special reflection on 2014! As always, we begin with some Kingdom Hearts news and updates, chatting about the possibility of Kingdom Hearts figures in Disney Infinity, as well as the reassurance that we'll be hearing more about Kingdom Hearts 3 in 2015.

    From there we launch into a reflection on 2014, beginning with the major world news from the year, what games came out this year and what games we actually played, and likewise for television shows, movies, and music! It'd take far too long to list everything here, so have a listen and see what we were into! We then look forward to 2015 and what we're hoping for in the new year.

    Finally, we answer user-submitted questions from @Eric Luna , @Graxe, and @Highlandeɼ , chat about the toughest bosses in Kingdom Hearts history, and address some community news before we sign off (Castle Oblivion, Secret Santa, forum tidying, and the 9th birthday of KH-Vids).

    Thanks everyone for the support for the site and the podcast this year! Let us know your thoughts on the episode, what you were diggin' from 2014, and what you're looking forward to digging in 2015.

    In before the deadline with mere minutes to spare

    It's Tuesday and you know what that means...! Podcast episode woo.

    This week podcast hosts @Misty, @libregkd, and @Calxiyn sit down for a super long and super fun episode! First off we cover the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix -- what we're digging about the collection and what we're looking forward to playing -- and its launch event that @libregkd (Nick) attended in California. You can read his full, written account here, or check out some VIP pics, but Nick provides us with a verbal account of both the event and the Kingdom Hearts III footage shown there.

    After that we move along to the just passed PlayStation Experience event, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of PlayStation. Nick was also in attendance to that, so he was able to give us some firsthand accounts & perspectives on titles like Street Fighter V, Yakuza 5, Uncharted 4, God of War 4, Drawn to Death, Grim Fandango, Bloodborne, No Man's Sky, Amplitude, and The Witness. @Misty also sticks her fingers in her ears to any negative press about The Order 1886, surprising no one. We also address the leak of a Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on the PS4 and the possibility of the Kingdom Hearts remasters receiving similar treatment.

    We skip over user-submitted questions this week because we had a content-filled episode, but we do answer a quick Table Topics about our lifelong heroes!

    Please every one listen to and enjoy the episode, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    KH-Vids staff member @libregkd attended the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix Launch Event in California last week and wrote up a great, detailed report of what went down there. Unfortunately attendees were prohibited from taking photo or video of the Kingdom Hearts 3 goodies show there or the fan video, and we're still waiting on Square to share the former with us poor unfortunates who could not attend.

    Happily, event VIP @DangostreetGames took a ton of photos throughout the event and was kind enough to share them with us! You can check out his imgur album with captions below, and get a taste of what it was like to be there yourself.

    Hey there, and welcome to our General & Upcoming Kingdom Hearts section! While this section contains the disclaimer that spoilers will be rampant within, we do want to remind our members to be courteous of those who have yet to finish certain games or who are trying to remain unspoiled for upcoming titles. For that reason, we'd like to do a quick tutorial on how to hide spoiler content on our site.

    Hiding large blocks of text
    For large block of text that needs to be hidden, our standard SPOILER tag will serve you well. To use it, simply highlight your text, use the Insert button our post toolbar (between the Media and Save Draft buttons), and select spoiler. From there, a tooltip will appear, giving you the option to title your spoiler. It will appear as such:
    Thinking of you wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny.
    For those who prefer to type out their code or who have disabled the rich text editor, here's the code for a SPOILER tag:
    Code:
    [spoiler="Kairi's letter to Sora"]Thinking of you wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny.[/spoiler]
    Or without a title:
    Code:
    [spoiler]Thinking of you wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny.[/spoiler]

    Hiding a small block of text
    If you only need to hide a few words in your post, and therefore don't wish the use the block-style SPOILER, you can give our HIDDEN tag a try. It will appear as such:

    Soylent Green is .

    When clicked, the hidden text will reveal; when clicked again, it will hide itself again. Pretty nifty, right? The code is simple to use!
    Code:
    Soylent Green is [hidden]people[/hidden].
    You can get pretty fancy with this, too, by specifying custom colors for each tag.

    is my favorite Organization XIII member!
    Code:
    [hidden=crimson]Axel[/hidden] is my favorite Organization XIII member!
    is .
    Code:
    [hidden=4059DA]Soylent [/hidden][hidden=098ADC]Green[/hidden] is [hidden=21DF9A]people[/hidden].

    Post onwards, and remember to be courteous of your fellow members -- nobody wants to be spoiled without their consent!

    Welcome to the Kingdom Hearts Help section! This sticky is here to help you get your bearings in our Kingdom Hearts themed sections and make sure everyone has a smooth experience on our forums.

    Before posting, make sure you give our site rules a read. The rules outlined there, such as restrictions on double posting, remaining on topic, flaming and harassment, etc., apply here too!

    The Kingdom Hearts Sections Are Big and I Am Very Afraid
    It’s okay, we’re here to help! We’ve tried to organize our Kingdom Hearts sections as intuitively as possible, but if you’re new to the series or just a little confused, this should help you out:
    • Kingdom Hearts News & Updates - Want the latest on the Kingdom Hearts series? Check out this section, where you can discuss the news posted by our diligent reporting team. This section feeds directly onto our homepage.
    • Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX - The first HD collection for the Kingdom Hearts series, this release spans Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Specific discussions for these games or the collection as a whole belong in this section.
    • Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX - The second HD collection for the series, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 includes Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. Discuss these three titles in here!
    • Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ - The Kingdom Hearts seriesgoes mobile in this title, released exclusively on the iOS and Android platforms. Discuss your journey and look for a party in this section!
    • Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - The Kingdom Hearts series enters a new dimension in this title, released exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS. Discuss Sora and Riku’s journey through their Mark of Mastery exams in this section!
    • General & Upcoming Kingdom Hearts - If you’re looking to avoid spoilers, tread lightly in this section! Overarching discussion of the series and speculation about future titles is found here. This section also houses all threads about the long-awaited and recently announced Kingdom Hearts III!
    • Kingdom Hearts Help - Not sure which world to visit next? Stuck at the brutal Xaldin battle in Kingdom Hearts II? Look no further! In this section, you can turn to your fellow Kingdom Hearts fans for any help getting through the series.
    If you’re still not sure where to post, shoot a message to any of our staff members, or simply take your best guess and a moderate will move it if necessary – that’s why we’re here!


    Rules for the Kingdom Hearts Sections
    No “do you hate this character” threads
    We love to critically discuss and analyze a character’s place and development in the games, but it shouldn’t turn into blind bashing of them! A good post on the subject might look something like this…
    Or perhaps…
    Whereas a bad post might appear as such:
    Or maybe…
    Make your post(s) count
    On KH-Vids, you receive a +1 to your Message Count for nearly every post you make, and because our top posters are rewarded Premium Status, we want to make sure that those counts are earned! Always focus on quality, not quantity, with your postings. Elaborate on your points and ideas, and stimulate discussing by asking questions of your fellow members, or by responding to those posed by others!

    If your posts lack content and are borderline spam, you will be contact by a staff member!

    Search before making a new thread
    We have a great search engine here at KH-Vids, so please use it! It’s possible that your questions about the series have already been answered, or your discussion is on-going. If a thread already exists but hasn’t been posted in for several months or years, you’re still allowed to post in it! Just make sure your post is adding something original and interesting to the discussion.

    If you come across an old thread you’d like to resurrect but it’s closed, hit the Report button and a staff member will re-open it for you!

    Flaming, harassment, and reporting content
    If you notice a thread that needs to be moved, closed, or otherwise moderated, hit the Report button and someone will take care of it! Posting in a thread only to say that it should be moved or closed is considered backseat moderating and will not be tolerated.

    Likewise, if you notice that a thread is breaking one of our site rules, or that a member is harassing you or someone else, please don’t hesitate to also click the Report button and we’ll put a stop to it!


    If you have any further questions, please message one of the section’s moderators or post in our Feedback & Assistance forum and we’ll be right on it!
