As far as I can see, Spector is a VERY conservative Disney fan. Meaning, aside from the sheer massive fanboyism he has for classic Mickey and classic Disney cartoon shorts, he aims to make this game as freaking "true-to-origin" as ever.

...I just hope we get to see some Zé Carioca around. He'd be an awesome character to have.

Also, anyone awaiting the comic?

That's pretty awesome... here's to hoping the game itself is as awesome.

That was cool.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Seems pretty sweet. Didn't think it'd be much, but I might consider checking it out .

Part of that trailer was actually based on this episode.

Really loving the look of this game, but i'm still a little unsure about the gameplay itself.

Suddenly I think the game might actually be good.

I was thinking that previously.  But this is a nice reminder of why I was interested.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

I love all the little nods to the actual Mickey mouse cartoons in this intro.
Also I don't know if I should feel good or bad that I know the last two cartoons shown in the calendar.

Warren Spector KNOWS his old-school Mickey. And I like the fact that the voice remains the same, but without actually saying anything to make it annoying. Mickey's the one cartoon character I'd like to keep silent.

Since all of his latest roles (and yes, even Kingdom Hearts) have pretty much contributed nothing whatsoever to any kind of more enriching personality or playful character, and this game actually aims to bring him back to his origins and make him TRULY good and unique again, making him silent is pretty much the very best thing they could have done.

For once, I don't hate to admit that he's right. Mickey was way better as a silent character. Not that I found his voice annoying or anything, but he's the kind of guy that shouldn't say a word.

Sorry, but I like Mickey's voice, mainly because I like making jokes using it. Mickey cursing is funny to me!  8D

Mickey talking is fine with me. But he should not however- be a dialogue heavy character. a little laugh here, a small line or two there, thats enough. nothing too heavy.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

That's actually a good idea. Hey, it worked for Link.

Hmmmmm. The figure might be worth the extra $20.

Epic Mickey Collector’s Edition revealed

Needs more hardcover art book, but for $69, that's not too shabby. Also, PS Informer covering Epic Mickey? 8D
