Drop It!

Assuming nothing has been changed behind our backs, this should be the day that Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is released in Japan. If it is, then it's only a matter of time before the spoilers hit the Internet, but on the plus side, we'll finally be able to learn what the mysterious seventh world in the Realm of Sleep is.

Seven Worlds in Seven Days

Still no word on the seventh world immersed in sleep for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and the game is set to be released in Japan in one week's time. What now? Are we really gonna be kept in secret until the day arrives?

All that is known now is that the English voice cast has added on members are returning to reprise previous roles. These include Haley Joel Osment, David Gallagher, Jason Alexander, and Charles Kimbrough as the voices of Sora, Riku, Hugo, and Victor respectively.

Lies

In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Let's Bounce", good ol' Dr. Doofenshmirtz makes one of the biggest cultural references in the history of the series - the fact that people in today's society will lie to cover up just about anything. He even performs a song to make his point! Now let me give an example from the Internet. The Super Mario World hacking site SMW Central claims to strive to be the ideal hacking site, but in actuality, the forum moderators and staff members are big egotists who care only about themselves, are overly critical for even minor setbacks, don't give a rat's ass about people's personal problems or daily lives, making others feel only worse about themselves, and of course abuse their power. Maybe that's not quite along the lines of lying, so here's a better example - Republicans. Now before you conservative people come and attack me, you need to know this. Republicans are in fact notoriously known nowadays for lying through their teeth to get what they want. Instead of actually helping the United States, all they do is attack Democrats, including President Obama, and not technically say what they can do that would be better, especially when all they want to do is rule the U.S. with an iron fist by making the rich people even more wealthy and making the poor people practically suck dirt beneath their heels. Face facts, people. Republicans are evil and there's no denying it. But in short, the kind of lies that Doofenshmirtz refers to are among the worst kinds of lies anyone can tell. Because while these lies are told to cover up and not hurt people's feelings, when the lies are later exposed, the victims end up twice as hurt as they would have been had the truth been told. So be honest, give feedback, and suggest ways to improve instead of lie or simply say "I don't like it". Be a good person and not someone who thinks entirely inward.

Lies are the glue that hold society together
People lie about their mileage, they lie about the weather
They lie to spare each others feelings
They lie to stay in bed
They lie to feel important, about all the books that they've read

People say that it's alright
They're only trying to be polite
But even though they're little and white
They're lies
Yes, everyone says it's alright
And I don't want to start to start a fight
But you know the ties that bind us tight are
Lies!

So, what will you believe?

The World's Greatest Platypus!

He truly is a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action! Check it! Agent P is going to Disney World to host this summer's World Showcase Adventure, having been retooled from "Disney's Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure". Yet another piece of undeniable proof that Phineas and Ferb continues to reign supreme as one of the top television shows of all time. Perhaps this is being done in light of the new summer special episodes "World Without a Platypus", in which the stepbrothers go on an African safari while their beloved pet platypus mysterious disappears during his daily battle with Dr. Doofenshmirtz. It's the latest craze in the series and chances are, it'll be among the most epic proportions this summer! Don't miss it, fans! Agent P is here to save the world!

Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah

Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah (C'mon!)
Perry!

He's a semi-aquatic egg-layin' mammal of action.
(Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah, doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah)
He's a furry little flatfoot who'll never flinch from a fra-ee-ay-ee-ay.
He's got more than just mad skill,
He's got a beaver tail and a bill.
And the women swoon whenever they hear him say...
(Perry chatter)

He's Perry, Perry the Platypus
Perry, Perry the Platypus

Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah

Well he's lookin' real sharp in his 1940s fedora.
(Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah, doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bah)
He's got an iron will, nerves of steel, and several other metal-themed attributes.
His fur is watertight.
And he's always up for a fight.
So when evil hears this sound it shakes in its boots.
(Perry chatter)

He's Perry, Perry the Platypus
Perry, Perry the Platypus

He's got more than just mad skill.
He's got a beaver tail and a bill.
And the women swoon whenever they hear him say...
(Perry chatter)

He's Perry (Perry), Perry the Platypus
Yeah, Perry (Perry), Perry the Platypus
Talkin' 'bout Perry
Agent P

Should've Been S'Autumn

As an equivalent to the Phineas and Ferb episode "S'Winter", in the Season 3 episode "Minor Monogram", Phineas and Ferb end up creating a day of autumn for one of their summer antics and call it "S'Fall". I suppose using this kind of term makes it sounds a little more humorous than "S'Autumn", because autumn is considered a technical term for fall...usually. But more noteworthy from my point of view is that in the same episode, Vanessa and Johnny... break up?!? But how... how can this be?! Hmm, maybe this might raise a few eyebrows for any Ferb and Vanessa fans out there, but I thought the co-creators themselves can only envision Ferb and Vanessa hooking up sometime after the series when they are older and age difference is irrelevant. Maybe, just maybe, they had to make a start somewhere, and I guess this was it. Mind you, "Minor Monogram" has yet to air over here in America, so I guess maybe it's better if we wait on this for the time being.

Not the Same

Actually, it seems that Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 are not really a third game of a generation with a different color. In fact, seeing as these games are technically sequels, they are said to have new story lines and features, so collecting all 649 Pokémon this time around will be somewhat different. If this could be a new adventure, count me in!

...I still want Pokémon Black...

Mom! Phineas and Ferb are in Seattle!

Evidently, it seems that the long-awaited Phineas and Ferb episode "Meapless in Seattle", originally a joke name, now finally has an air date of April 6th. The current plot line is that while the two stepbrothers are about to start up another one of their daily projects, but are attacked by an alien robot. All the mysteries of this much anticipated episode will soon be revealed...

"Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a public service announcement!" Seriously, Candace, give it a rest. A PSA is a good thing, ya know? And this one's the most important of them all! "Cyberspace Rules of the Road" is sponsored by Common Sense Media and it teaches us about Internet safety and to be careful of what we post online... even this blog entry. So remember, kids... don't always believe the Internet. Believe what you see in real life! I know I do.

Hope Springs Eternal

Still no word in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance on that seventh sleep world. Gotta wonder if we're gonna be intentionally left in the dark for the rest of the month. As for Phineas and Ferb, in light of this year's Platypus Day, apparently it was a good time to air the long-awaited episode "Perry the Actorpus". However, based on the rate that the episodes are airing, it looks to be a tight finish if it is intended for the Season 3 finale to air this summer. It would have to be August once again, like all the other specials before.
