"Grab the balls, Sora! Grab the balls!"

[mllelaurel]

...A phrase much heard last night, as I began playing Kingdom Hearts.

Because, y'see, wired_lizard and I are secretly twelve. And also because enemies you've defeated drop green balls which restore your HP. But mostly because we're twelve.

Did someone suddenly get a PS2?

Incidentally, we should hang out at some point.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Well, Tory has one, and I hang out over there a lot.

We should! When is good for you? I'm free all days but Thursday, this week, and totally free after that.

[mirrored-echo.livejournal.com]

I could do tomorrow afternoon. :) Or sometime next week.

Where do you want to meet up?

(and yes, LJ comments seem a better way to reach you than email. :p )

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow works!

We could meet somewhere in Belmont, or Harvard Square, or Porter... *thinks on places she knows how to get to*

Seriously!

[mirrored-echo.livejournal.com]

Belmont might have parking. :p

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Near my house, even! Do you still have my address?

[mirrored-echo.livejournal.com]

Nope; could you email it to me? my first name dot my last name at gmail.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Sent! Let me know if you received the e-mail ok.

*laughing* That totally sounds like something squeenix would do kind of on purpose.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Seriously!

And oh, man, the wonderful subtext these games bring!

In Kingdom Hearts 2, there's a minigame where you beat on other guys with a giant phallic stick and then when you knock them down, you quickly grab their balls while they lie down on the ground. I can't remember, but I think all of your opponents are male.

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Oh, they *would*! I love it. <3

Okay, technically, the balls fly out and you run around picking them up, but still, the metaphor is clear :D
