Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - #11 - Balloon Circus

[@Gekster55]

Riku: Who are you?! Black Cloak: *reveals himself to be Riku* RIku: Me?! This is peak Kingdom Hearts

[@AM-we1es]

Followed by an edge talk on darkness and friendship no less

[@supersonic776]

Carrie's pun game is ON POINT today!

[@pyrosianheir]

A very specific version of you, Riku but yes. Kinda. Also - "Don't you have a Jiminy, like I do?" Yes... He does, and his name is Sora, but he's not always around, or being smart, soooooo....

[@theophrastusbombastus8019]

"It" made balloons scary "DDD" made balloons OP The moral of this story is: Balloons are dangerous and you should stay away from them

[@fionnagatechronicler1088]

I was scared of balloons before seeing either! 😂

[@the6ofdiamonds]

I will never get over how awesome the Organization XIII piano bit is. Possibly my favourite Kingdom Hearts track.

[@superbun277]

0:28 - Come on Carrie, whales aren't fish, you _orca_ know better. 3:54 - "The Seeker of Darkness who stole my body/a puppet replica of the shadows in my heart/and now I'm facing me." Which Evanescence song is this from? :P

[@hrrrpenny8681]

Back with a friendly reminder not to forget about flick rush! While I'm at it though, you should also remember to peruse the ability link boards to strengthen your spirits and gain new spells early. Nothing says "I'm best friends with these nightmares turned friends," better than more balloons.

[@almostirrelevant9181]

Carrie with the puns right out of the gate:)

[@superfiver]

Rather it be Dan doing a move or action I never did in the game, or when he makes the exact same mistakes I do, playing vs watching are two different things, and let's playing is even more different still, I never ever think overly critical of another let's player again. lol

[@Ninjinhah]

Dan didn't even notice he opened a MIMIC chest haha

[@hancocks3871]

12:45 Mr. Popper's penguins!

14:40 hello police, I'd like to report a murder. poor Sora :D

[@zmanjace1364]

It always weirds me out when a KZbinr I watch references another youtuber I watch that cover completely different topics and I found independently. Lindsey is one of my favorite video essayist. Glad to know you agree! (I dont think this is the first time you've mentioned her but idk if I said anything before... I probably did.)

[@ayme9153]

Carrie's mastered the "art" of dad jokes - dream daddy side effects?

[@jonathanfaber3291]

0:18 we are two mariners, our ships sole survivors, in this, belly of a whale... 0:48 but not mine weirdly, despite the fact that I've met like really weird pronounciations of it 18:27 I mean you absorbed two of them, and became one of them sora, that's how 21:44 YOURE DAMN RIGHT YOU HAD RUINED ROXAS' AND XION'S LIVES YOU FREAKING MONSTER!

[@AssassinLupus7]

It's ribs are ceiling beams, It's guts are carpeting, I guess we have some time to kill.

[@mgormley7530]

I don't see how absorbing two nobodies would make Sora like one? I mean, Nobodies supposedly have no hearts, Sora has at least 3 extra. he's like, the opposite of them

[@jonathanfaber3291]

@@mgormley7530 I mean, not technically, but he did produce a Nobody, which does make him similar to xehanort and crew. and also he destroys everything in his way until he gets what he wants

[@timothymclean]

@@jonathanfaber3291 Has this game even mentioned Xion since mentioning she sacrificed herself so Sora could wake up (despite being created _before_ Sora went to sleep)? She got a raw deal.

at this point, im starting to think Pinnochio is doing this on purpose

[@RPGtourguide]

If one must say goodbye, best say it with balloon magic.

[@MiseFreisin]

9:14 tell me, why are we too blind to see that the one we hurt is Jiiiiiiminy

[@fisherdotogg]

Huh, the animation on Pinocchio is looking a lot better in this game. That is a very striking improvement.

[@Gilbot9000]

Don't know if I appreciate Carrie's puns today. Kinda on the fins about it.

[@MiseFreisin]

Gilbot9000 not you too!? I've had it to the gills with this!

[@Gilbot9000]

Who can resist such krill-er puns?

[@brendofire2084]

*heavy breathing* keep clam, keep clam....

[@AM-we1es]

"I suppose you are Sora? -Yes ! And you are the exposition machine?"

[@timothymclean]

0:40: Most KZbinrs don't seem to notice me correcting their pronunciation, so you're still ahead of the pack there. 3:25: My first guess would have been Ansem with your face for some reason. It'd only be fair, since you did the same to him for a while. 18:25: That's it, DiZ is un-invited from the Good Guy Barbeques. He's a bad influence on Sora. (Also, he's dead.) 24:50: "Geppetto went off to find Pinocchio and was swallowed by a whale named Monstro." "What? _Again?"_ 3:45: Is Jiminy planning to sign Pinocchio up for Facebook? 10:20: Ugh, and I thought the speed challenges in 358/2 Days were rough. (I might just suck at platforming.)

[@liamwhite3522]

Was DiZ _ever_ invited to the good guys barbeque?

[@rmsgrey]

DiZ isn't dead - he's hanging out with Aqua in the Dark Margin (as shown in the BBS secret movie)

[@timothymclean]

@@rmsgrey Oh geez, I forgot that. Great, not like Aqua hasn't had enough mentors giving her stupid ideas on who does and doesn't deserve mercy and friendship and crap.

[@key099able]

Can you please talk about how the flow motion ruined someones months of their lives designing those platforming segments to be completely ignored.

[@timothymclean]

They probably expected flowmotion to be used to complete the platforming challenges; they likely wouldn't work without it. It's just that the one flowmotion move that lets you walljump infinitely is sort of more versatile than everything else put together whenever there are lots of walls around. Which there usually are.

[@tzisorey]

Then they learned that there were not only the four primal elemental forces of fire, ice, goo, and candy - but a fifth element - _balloons!_

[@mulduls]

7:40 No, he had been fighting the real SoD the entire time. The man at the beginning was DiZ, not the SoD himself, but after that it WAS the SoD, not DiZ.

[@damrod]

While carries puns are terribly fitting again, i am amazed that Dan just ignored some of the chests he saw in plain sight as Sora... You are becoming too much like Sora there Dan :P

[@Karonis124]

I’d say that Carrie’s puns are becoming a whale of a problem, but I’m enjoying them too much. No chance of being overwhalemed.

[@NobodyC13]

Why isn't anyone just whalemed.

[@2c3d48]

Okay, they’ve tried ten gabillion times to run through those organization 13 dark portals as they close. It works as often as they realize it never does.

[@FeyDarkwood]

Reading tiiiime.

[@rundinj]

I am ok if he starts referring to enemy pandas as Evil Rundins as I dont think Ill be seeing play

[@NobodyC13]

Looks like Sora finally got to meet the real Blue Fairy.

[@AssassinLupus7]

I actually just watched that Lindsey Ellis video the other day.

[@MaraK_dialmformara]

The urge to introduce Sora and Riku to my therapist gets stronger every episode. Maybe book them a group session with Madeline from Celeste and Mae from Night in the Woods. Me and all my millennial depression friends. Speaking of which, is there any significance to when Riku's eyes are blue and when they're green? Or is that a production error?

[@benparker1822]

Looks like this episode is a whale of a good time. ';p

[@CulVols]

Yay, More Dan!

[@deselby86]

Balloon is the best spell. Jigglypuff is a balloon-type pokémon. Coincidence? I think not.

[@jeremysmith7176]

It's quite the whale of a PUNishment

[@yamiyomizuki]

Looks like everyone is just having a whale of a time in this episode

[@thegustbag]

Okay, I finally figured it out! My revelation: these games are silly

[@SilverArrow23]

Carrie puns! YESSSSSSSSS

[@Zenacra]

I can't tell if it's because I'm wearing headphones when I don't usually do so or if it's a legit thing, but you sound more tired than usual this episode, a bit less bombastic and goofy.

[@gamblade4159]

Good video

[@TalonSky]

We're whalers on the moon....

[@justember794]

Dan, can you do an audiobook?! It would be awesome! Maybe like a Disney history book!

[@s.crawford12]

Woah! Mic audio quality went way up...... Someone buy an upgrade?

[@Actual_Mr_G]

How about you sign a contract with Audible and read all the books ?? That would be good.

[@ImperatorPenguin]

Again, Sora. These games started making less and less sense since Nobodies were introduced.

[@darter9000]

Well... I’d say something about Jiminy Cricket being live bait. But this throws the pattern off.

[@restlessDSM]

It'd be a bit of a bait and switch.

[@Lukz243]

does Sekiro have... BALOONS?

[@fionnagatechronicler1088]

Talk about ya problems man! And I mean for real not this monologue shit! You got issues Riku, if not therapy than talk to your freaking friends! (And I can't believe I'm saying this but let us see it. We need more insentive to care)

[@shadeknight6537]

I can do a better summary of Chain of Memories. Here goes: Nothing important happened.

[@francescosorce5189]

Coded: am I a joke to you?

[@timothymclean]

We met Naminé and a bunch of O13 members. And Riku started his journey of reconciling his inner darkness with himself. Also Sora went to sleep. _(After_ Roxas and Xion were created, even though they _needed_ to be killed before Sora could wake up, which never fails to confuse me.)

[@1224chrisng]

okay I believe you
