Marathon begins now!

Hi there, Eric speaking again.
As it turns out, today we're starting late due to technical issues, as sometimes computers just don't work the way you want them too and I'm 300 miles away from home...
Anyway, most of these issues have been resolved (game audio is not working, but we're working on it!). I will continue to assist throughout the week.

Anyway, we will continue to stick to our regular schedule. Check us out at our KNIGHTS Live Channel above!

Kingdom Hearts Marathon!

Hi there,
this is Eric Ahn speaking on behalf of KNIGHTS.
Today, I am excited to announce our 5th event, our Kingdom Hearts marathon!

In case you don't know what the Kingdom Hearts series is, it is a series of 7 games (not including a few remakes and special editions) that have been critically acclaimed and is currently one of the most popular video game series in the world. The timeline of the series is quite difficult to explain, and we don't want to spoil it for you guys! If you're still interested in learning more about the series, here is the Wikipedia page for the Kingdom Hearts series.

This time, we will be working with the Los Angeles Christian Ethics Movement, a group of volunteers who seek to live by two commands: "Let us live and share uprightly and plainly" and "Let us build a healthy church as our faith community". Since 1996, they have been running the Love-Bread Sharing Movement, a cause created when the then-CEO of LACEM, Yong Sok Yu, visited China and was appalled at the lengths North Korean children went to get food. Since then, the Love-Bread Sharing Movement has built several bread factories in North Korea that work to feed thousands of North Korean children.

Here is an informational video about them (Korean voiceover with English subtitles):

As for the marathon itself, barring any further changes to our itinerary, we plan on beginning August 10 and going for one week, ending August 17. Unlike our previous events, however, this time we will be playing from 12pm to 12am PST (GMT-0700) daily. This will thus be an 84 hour event. During these 84 hours, we will be playing the following games:
Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts II (possibly Final Mix+) (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (DS)
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix (PSP)
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded (DS)
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (3DS)

Wish us luck, and we hope to see you at the live stream!

Welcome to KNIGHTS 2012-2013

Hi there, Eric Ahn speaking. I'll be serving in KNIGHTS as president and head techie for the 2012-2013 school year.
We're kicking off with a fresh start and a new design, moving from WordPress to Blogger, which should hopefully allow us to manage the site much more easily and effectively.
We'll also be having a marathon soon, courtesy of our elite group of members that have stuck with KNIGHTS since the beginning, so make sure to check us out then!

And if this is your first time, I highly encourage you to read up on what we are all about.
Thanks a lot!

Eric Ahn
President of KNIGHTS
