Allow me to pat myself on the back...

crienseltI have a problem with spoilers. That is to say, I have a very difficult time resisting them. For the most part, I actually enjoy them in regard to tv shows and movies, but as far as books and games go, I've found I really do enjoy them more when I'm surprised. I guess I like mini-promo spoilers for everthing. Like I'd have no problem reading the US book jacket synopsis from HP 6 if they'd released it early and can't fathom why didn't. That'd have made me happy and sated my appetite. Now with games it stands to reason that once they're released in Japan, you can find out every itty-bitty detail of the plot. For me, this isn't good. Too tempting. However, and this gives me hope for my solidarity against spoilers when xeno 3 comes out, I am happy to say I have avoided nearly all spoilers in relation to Kingdom Hearts 2. And now that there's a release date and I've preorder my copy and no longer have the indefinate wait urging me go ahead and find out everything there is to know, I'm giving myself a round of applause for having made it. Go me.
Now, I originally had planned to spoil myself for kh2. I'd only actually enjoyed the beginning and ending parts of the first game, but deep dive was awesome and further peaked my interest. So, I cared enough to want to know what happens (I'll admit it. I'm one of those Riku fangirls. A non-spazzy one, though...), but not enough to care about ruining the game's expirience. However, as the Jap. release date neared, I found myself getting more excited about the game and less inclined to want spoilers. I didn't dl the latest trailers, and once the game was released, I only downloaded the opening once I was certain it was only a recap. And I only skimmed through a mini disscussion of the ending to find out, yes, if Riku was alive and well and good or if he had perished at the hand of the hero or sacrified himself to save the goodies. That done, I avoided plot info like the plague. I saved the links to kh2 icons, refusing to click on them for fear they might reveal, yes, Riku, who since they never released an image of him, I decided I'd go along w/ it and just let the game relveal as it would. See? How good was I? I'm so proud of myself. I deserve a cookie!
