Another game update, movie with Harry.

I made more progress in "Kingdom Hearts II": a week ago today, I paid a visit to the Pride Land. My character (Sora) changed into a lion cub, Goofy turned into a turtle again, and Donald turned into some kind of parrot/cockatoo bird. I got to fight some weird Heartless that looked like bony animals. We encountered the hyennas, then got saved by a lioness. She said her pride was ruled by Scar, the brother of their former king, Mufasa. The land had suffered under Scar's rule, but the lioness didn't want our help dethroning Scar. We left the Pride Land, and I went to Atlantica. After a few tries, I finally got through the second musical number ("Part of Your World"). After that, it was back to Space Paranoids to give Tron the password (which turned out to be the names of the Disney Princesses). The MCP caught us, and we got sent to the game grid. I played the Light Cycle game and made it out after one of the tanks blew a hole in the wall. We got back to the Pit Cell and got the password to Tron. The MCP tried to take over, but Tron changed the password. We (Tron, Goofy, and I) headed to an I/O Tower, fighting Heartless on the way. I recently enabled Goofy and Sora's joint attack (knocksmash), so I got to use that a lot. At the Tower, we encountered and beat the Dangerous Program using the joint attack. Tron fixed the system, changing the password to Sora, Donald, and Goofy. I got the Photon Debugger Keyblade. After returning to the Ansem's study, we were asked by Leon to access the DTD database and download its data. That was everything from last Sunday.

This Friday (2/02), I was looking at a walk-through for the game and realized I wasn't done with the Pride Land. When I turned the game back on, I made a trip to the Pride Land. At Pride Rock, I wandered around and had a confrontation with Scar. Things started to look bad for us (especially when Pete showed up looking like a lion), but a lioness distracted Scar long enough for us to escape. We fought Heartless as we travelled across the land to the Oasis. While there, we met Simba (all grown up at this point). Nala (Simba's childhood friend) showed up, and we (including Simba) decided to go back to Pride Rock. During Simba's confrontation with Scar, Scar admitted to killing Mufasa. One of Simba's friends from the Oasis (Pumba?) had some troubles with the hyenas, but I was able to bail him out. We went to the top of the rock and watched Scar and Simba fight. For a minute, it looked like Scar was finished, but Pete showed up. Scar returned with new powers, and Goofy and I came to Simba's aid. Using the joint attack with Simba, we defeated Scar. I got the Circle of Life Keyblade. I returned to the Postern in Hollow Bastion and tried to access the DTD. The computer kept giving me errors, then a picture of Ansem the Wise appeared. Mickey showed up and explained the Ansem from the first Kingdom Hearts game was actually a Heartless version of the real Ansem. There was an explosion outside, and we went to investigate. There were Heartless and Nobodies fighting, but then they stopped fighting each other and went after me and my group. We beat them, and that's where I stopped for the weekend.

Today, Harry and I finally went to see Epic Movie. Aside from some gross stuff, it was a very funny movie. They parodied a lot of movies: The DaVinci Code, X-Men, the Harry Potter movies, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Nacho Libre, Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Snakes on a Plane, Superman Returns, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They also poked fun at Paris Hilton and MTV's "Cribs"
