On a somewhat related note, despite my screen name I have never really been am avid gamer. I can't say how utterly perplexed I was when I found out that Gannon from the Zenda wasn't a pig anymore.

Well, I can give an opinion from an outsider who loved Warcraft, especially Warcraft 3. In theory, World of Warcraft totally invalidates the main series in ridiculous ways. Granted, not having played World of Warcraft, I don't know if this is true. I just get the feeling. Yeah, it kinda does at parts. WoW's storyline died with Arthas. There were flashes of returning to something good in Mists, but 5.3 and on has just been a mess as far as plotline goes. I don't know about invalidating the RTS storylines (if you could cite examples of outright invalidation?), but it has gotten worse. Guess we'll see what the new expansion's alternate universe Draenor brings.

nope. It started bugging the shit out of me at KH2 I think the problem I always had with the KH franchise is that it takes itself WAY too seriously for something that's essentially Disney/FF crossover fic. Yeah, from the start KH treated it's premise way too seriously, completely clashing with what we were seeing on the screen.

I don't remember any of them because it's been so long since I played either...

Blanka going from ferocious wild-man of the jungle to comedic mama's boy.
