    So the Disney Infinity announcement event is going down, and as expected, it's basically Disney Skylanders. (Not in gameplay, but in the use of RFID toys.)

    Which is great, because while I'd like to play Skylanders, I have no interest in the toys themselves.

    But little miniature Mike & Sully and Incredibles figures? I can display those on my shelf without issue.

    Oh god.

    I'm going to get into this, aren't I?

    Finally, having a 4year old daughter pays off! I can totally play it like I'm doing it for her!

    Is there any Donald/Scrooge shenanigans going on there or is it just modern Pixar stuff?

    Ergh. Then again, when was the last time any of us thought about Majesco?

    Some of us want something more than a cell-shaded, side-scrolling, (over-hyphenated), hack-n-slash.

    And some of us wanted a proper Jaws game. Do they still have the license for that?

    It doesn't seem like they're doing anything more than Disney/Pixar from like the last 10 - 15 years. But I could be wrong or there could be some things that they just haven't revealed.

    I suspect they'll be doing these figures for years so they may get around to it eventually

    They've got about 80 years worth of DLC.

    Supposedly there's stuff that hasn't been revealed just yet, but yeah, so far it looks like recent Disney and Pixar stuff.

    this is all made especially gross when you bring into account how sexist the first game was. : /

    The first one was sexist?

    Well, let's just say that it should be tricky to browse google results for 'Dead Island' without coming across the phrase 'feminist whore'.

    Hmm. I guess I didn't see it when I played the game multiple times... Seems like people need to take a chill pill when it comes to entertainment.

    Briefly, for those unaware or forgot, a skill in the game for a female character that gives extra damage to male zombies was labeled 'feministwhorepurna' in the internal code. Before the game shipped it was changed outwardly to 'Gender Wars'. However, not all references to it were removed.

    You weren't supposed to see it. Even as an inside joke, it's pretty horrible.

    If you have to decompile the release to get upset about something you are working entirely too hard at finding things to get upset about

    There is also an image of dumbo and Abu from Aladdin when he transformed into an elephant.

    Actually you don't. You just have to read an article about somebody else who decompiled the release. Makes it not a lot of work to be upset about it, methinks.
