RIP Mika...and Infinity Awaits!
12 years ago
General
First off, those who caught Walking Dead's episode....
Spoilers to follow, you were warned, in case someone say's I didn't heheh.
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW she was the one giving the mice to the walkers! I knew there was something wrong with that girl from the moment she starting giving them names, and was pretty much sure when she was on the tip of suffocating Judith. That girl was messed up in the head! Knew she'd do something to endanger the group but...wow...what she DID DO? Man, I was yelling at the screen.
I didn't think too much of Mika during the season, as she went a few different ways, but her uplifting "know what to do, but can't kill" attitude and trying to look on the bright side of things reminded me of Hershel. So I got to get a good amount of respect and affection character-wise toward her....and then THAT HAPPENED!?
Jeez, can't Carol get a break from crap happening around her? Dead-beat woman-beater husband, dead daughter, killed two sick people, abandoned by Rick, had to work with the man-of-the-woman-she-killed, had to do the stuff in...THAT episode....I mean wow.
Anyway, RIP Mika...not so much your sister...maybe she was confused or maybe a psychopath...but either way at least Talking Dead did tribute for you.
===================
Ok, lets go to lighter things shall we? *deep breath*
Anybody hear that Gamestop did a Disney Infinity Day yesterday or so? I barely got the news in the night before. Anyway, thanks to some sales, and probe manipulation, I managed to grab the three Play Sets they have at half price! Yay! Been wanting to get back to things on there and work some more in the box, so...gathering up some material.
I did the Toy Story one first because of the space theme, which I guess hits more home for me, literally. Mostly about colonizing a planet full of those three-eyed alien dudes. It was cool how big the area was, and when I got that booster and jetpack, really opened up exploration. The "goos" came in here, which is weird since I got the panels for those earlier in the box. The battle simulations actually got fun and a little challenging later on. Finished it, and think I got everything aside from Woody's chests and the main vault. Overall, I enjoyed it, and can't wait to see all the spacey stuff I got to use myself in the Toy Box!
Cars is, naturally, racing and a lot of fetch-questing. Nearly done it and a little disappointed....you get NO packs/tools...aside from toe-cable/booster/wrecking ball upgrades (the later, if I recall, isn't even in that circle of packs/tools, as that button is for driving). From what I've seen so far, you don't get those cool weapons (machine guns, missiles, mortars) unless in the challenges. Sure, there's stunting (which annoyed me at first way back with the bikes in MU), but overall...ehh...not really as good as TS was, and smaller too.
You know what they should have done? Well...Radiator Springs is, of course, nice and all, and probably where it takes place...but why not bring more Cars 2 elements in? I mean, we have Holly as playable and Finn is running the surplus (why isn't Finn playable again?)...so why not add some spy elements to things? I mean, a main feature, I thought, of playing Cars characters would be those cool weapons. Why not have some combat...like uhh C.H.R.O.M.E (the people Finn works for) has some kind of opposite, bad-guy organization (like uhh that doctor-guy with the monocle) that is trying to do...uhh...SOMETHING...and it involves racing and combat. But that's just me.
Lone Ranger I haven't done yet, need to watch the movie personally so I get what's going on properly.
But yep, earning a few Spins as I go, getting stuff for the Box...and hopefully get everything that's in that little bugger to create some cool things.
....and by that point Disney will release a 2.0 version that you have to buy all over again and start all over again on. Marketing...it's a killer.

Either Infinity is falling short...and they need the profit to avoid getting in the red...or they're trying to oust the shelves for a whole new wave of stuff.
