Birth By Sleep; Death by Waiting

What took you guys so long? Did you walk or something!?

Remember that series of games under the moniker “Kingdom Hearts”? The one where Square (Enix) and Disney came together and basically made a Disney version of Final Fantasy? A game that led to many geekgasms? You remember?

Good.

Do you remember when they announced Birth By Sleep? Then do you remember aging another billion years or so? Good, it means I’m not the only sad loser who checked routinely to see whether Squenix had actually settled on a release date. For months, even after the Japanese release, fans waited for a release date. We eventually got a vague, dart-thrown-at-a-calender release window; “Summer 2010”. Well now they dropped an actual release date rather nonchalantly and it’s now slated for a September 7th release in the US (September 10th for us Europeans and those loveable scamps down under). Hey Squenix, did you actually go to school? You do realise September is during Autumn/Fall and not Summer.

Okay. Thanks. Just checking I wasn’t crazy. I can’t even hate them for this; I’ll be there on release day (or week or month) salivating over my new copy of the game. I’m basically their bitch.

Okay, this looks like it's worth the wait. Crap.
