[alexbaxthedarkside]

good stuff, the aniamtion is really great

 

[snowman3]

oh yay, a let's play. they might be as good as the LPer's on youtube. to name a few...vash12349, pyschadelicsnake, and chronogear. also, if the person who the ears were facing ran really fast in a circle around mickey, would he take off like a helicopter?

 

[Draconalis]

Why is Paul speaking in the third person in the end there?

Also... did he do something with his hair?

Roger Rabiit reference FTW

I still say Disney could've come up with a more imaginative title for this game than "Epic Mickey." I mean it sounds like something 4chan would come up with and I would like to think that Disney can do better than that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the ear thing. I noticed that back in like February or something. It's odd, but not all that disturbing.

 

[Waif]

Wonderful video ^~^!

 

[Alar]

Great video, and I'm watching the re-broadcast right now!

 

[MB202]

am I the only one who knew about the ear thing before this?

I knew, too. You used to see this sort of thing in old Mickey Mouse cartoons, where his ears are always facing the camera. Warren Spector wanted to keep that for this game, and thus they're designed so that no matter where Mickey is looking, his ears are always like that.

 

[Lucifer dern]

is it just me or did "paul" start to sound like cartman right at the end...

 

[Snapette]

Ha ha, that was totally brilliant! XD

Looks like a neat game, too. =D

 

[tamaness]

I knew about the ear thing, but with the camera having a dynamic angle, it just comes off as freaking creepy. It looks fine if you only have one point of reference.

An Unskippable Let's play? Awesome! I am so posting that in my user group

Also, nice episode guys! I especially liked how you pointed out that nothing changes in Mickey's room or the magicians room during the passage of time.

I'll try to see if I can watch the live gameplay. If not, will you be posting it here or at Loading Ready Run?

 

[geldonyetich]

Guys, guys, there's nothing creepy about Mickey Mouse's ears being on a swivel. They just need to be facing the viewer so he can gauge the value of their immortal soul for potential reaping.

 

[DeadAccountMoveAlong]

Ears = un-unseeable.
Also, that last line from Paul had a bit of "mah spoon's too big" innit.

 

[J234]

Hmm. So this is what Warren Spector was doing instead of working on Deus Ex 3. Well then...he clearly went mad after Invisible War. Or Daikatana.

Also I think Mickey was too busy huffing helium to remodel his room or check out that weird mirror...

 

[Drexlor]

I can't wait to see the Unskippable Let's Play. And Paul, that was TOTALLY what you sound like.

 

[Eleima]

Oh my goodness!!! The ears!!! Now, *I* can't unsee it!
Can't believe I missed the Live "Let's Play" version of Unskippable, though... =( I'll be looking forward to its rebroadcast.

 

[Endocrom]

Yep, can't unsee the ears, especially when he hops up in the chair.

Too bad they didn't make any copyright extention jokes.

 

[T-Dogg]

Yeah, the ears are SUPPOSED to be like that - always facing the camera. It's been a rule in drawing Mickey Mouse for AGES. It's never really been a problem - until 3D-rendering came along. New mediums often come with great advantages, but surprising challenges such as this.

Fighting the balrog made me crack up.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!
