Is it bad that I consider it a guilty pleasure?

I loved that abomination of a musical number and you will never convince me otherwise. :P

You're just gonna blow me off, huh? Well, I HOPE THE BOOGEYMAN GETS YOU!

...sorry, that's the best I've got. Mike Dawson's been having a long-term effect on me.

In all seriousness, the animation isn't even very Disney-esque. It's more like something Don Bluth would come up with on an off day. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that this company also created...



...that.

The what now?

The whirlpool that Rosella and Valanice swirl around in. Except it's not underwater because Valanice can call Rosella's name loud and clear and then gawk like an idiot afterward.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that whirlpool.

wait! The animation behind KQ 7 was the same one behind the CD-I Zelda games?

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

I think three or four different animation houses worked on KQ7, not just that one.

The only thing better than invoking CD-I Zelda Games is doing it by means of a cleverly timed gif.

Have you played KQ7? If not, don't.
Seen a let's play only.

It was... mildly amusing, but appart from the intro itself I didn't find anything particularly good (or bad) about the game) it just seemed decent.

Though again, I never played it, so I'm not the best person to judge

I can't believe how many people there are on a King's Quest related forum who think that watching a Let's Play in any way replicates the experience of actually playing the game.  My mind is boggled.  No wonder companies like Telltale are so popular.

Why can't we all just agree to disagree?
Why can't we just all be friends?

I just see it as evidence of a larger cultural problem, particularly in America.  But that's another rant entirely.  I can go into it further, if you like.  ;)

If you must, do it another thread :P
