This year appears to be the year when all those mythic things that were never supposed to be finished, got finished.

Starcraft II has been released, after years and years. I first started playing the original Star Craft when I was in my last year of high school and back then my friends were talking all about the sequel taking forever to come out, and I graduated in 2004.

Then the most elusive of Vaporware, the running joke of the gaming industry, the man, the legend, Duke Nukem Forever has popped his head at this year's Penny Arcade Expo, leading to many collected bets and talks of the apocalypse.

In addition to this, back in June, Bruce Coville finally released the final volume of the Unicorn Chronicles, a series I started to read in third grade

With all these things finishing, a lot of people have been asking, well, with all these things over, what's left to make fun of for taking so long to release? Well, I for certain have one, and that would be: Kingdom Hearts 3. Testuya Nomura keeps promising that there will in fact be a KHIII, that he has ideas for the plot and that Disney is all for a 3rd console game continuing the adventure of Sora, Riku and Kairi after the events of the first two games, and their spinoffs, and will finish up the Xenahort arc. But here's the catch: Nomura said there won't be work on KHIII until Final Fantasy XIII: Versus is released.

Commence the headdesking. FFXIII: Versus was *supposed* to come out around the same time as Final Fantasy XIII, but it's been delayed time after time after time. Amazon doesn't even list a release date on their preorder and no word of a concrete release date in Japan, let alone overseas. What's terrible is a game constantly delayed, what's worse is a game that isn't even started because a previous game isn't finished. So instead of KHIII, Square Enix keeps tossing all these spinoffs at us. Granted, I thought 358/2 was a good game (regardless of what others have said) and filled a few holes from KHII and Chain of Memories' plots. I really look forward to the prequel Birth by Sleep, which is pretty much Kingdom Hearts: 0. However, RE:Coded seems a tad bit unnecessary, though might be fun to play and doesn't require me to buy a new system, but I am not excited for the 3DS game at all. Because this 3DS game appears to take place, yet again, between KHI and KHII. Just when you think all possible information between those two games have been filled, Nomura brings this game up. I don't need to know anymore what happened between these two games, I want to know what came *after*. What was in King Mickey's bottle? Did Axel really just die? Will they ever go to the Atlantis or Black Cauldron worlds?

At the rate this game is going, I won't even need to bother with a PS3, by the time KHIII comes around I'll probably have to buy a PS4. The good news is, by that time I probably will have a job
