SPOILER ALERT If you don't want anything Epic Mickey related spoiled for you, don't read this post!
As a gamer and Disney fan, I knew that I had to play Epic Mickey at least once. I bought the regular game, not special collectors edition, along with the guide about a week later. Some people don't like getting the guide calling it cheating, but for me, I see it as an opportunity to experience the game to the fullest as I know I can get pretty hot headed if I don't know what to do or miss something. Horrible right?
Well I just want to go off on a mini rant of a recent experience while playing Epic Mickey. And since the section I'm in is near the end of the game, I felt a spoiler warning was needed. I decided to pick this game up after not playing it for about a month. I started in the library and made my way to the ballroom. I went through the first time and helped fix the organ (which took only a few tries) and was nearly done when I noticed a gremlin on the pipes of the organ. I took the guide books suggestion and used all my remaining anvils to try and reach the little dude. Quickly running out of them and still wanting to reach the guy, I restarted the game thinking that it would keep the good ending (helping the organ) but reset the anvils. It did, but also reset the good ending so I had to do the challenge again which I didn't mind.
After I finished the mini game I accidentally erased one of the keys. The organ shouted at me that the keys were his very soul and that I would feel his wrath if I continued. intrigued, and knowing that I could restart if I did something "evil" I continued to erase the organs keys one by one. And yeah, the organ was NOT happy, and sent a new Beetleworx that I had never seen before, not to mention blocking my path up the pipes that I had worked hard to clear. I laughed and restarted the game to renew my "good" side.
To my surprise, and utter disappointment, the game chose to keep the BAD side of what I did. Yes I know I did it to myself but this is not the first time that the games inconsistency has cost me.
Back tracking a little, in Ostown, there are several things that need to be painted and thinned out to continue with your journey. After painting and thinning for a good amount of time, I left Ostown to go back to Mean Street, only to find all of my hard work undone. Fast forwarding to Lonesome Manor, I was in the Library with Madame Leona and was nearly done with everything when my health points dwindled and I "died" (don't think that's the right term but oh well!). Once back in the library ALL of my work was gone. It's nothing a few minutes couldn't fix, but it was still irritating to say the least.
So now I'm in the ballroom, staring in disbelief that 1, I now have to spend 1000 E Tickets to get Donald torso (A reward from the ghost in Bog Easy that wanted Mickey to appease the organ) and fight a Beetleworx that doesn't seem to want to go away anytime now. And last but not least, I still can't reach the gremlin that started it all.
Gah! Good morning world! Or as I'd love to say, GOOD NIGHT!! I'm not sure how many of you would agree, but I find it very annoying looking at the clock and realizing that not only is it PAST the usual bed time that I'm used to (which has recently been 5am) but past the time that I would be getting up for the day if I was going to school. Aint it lovely? I know it's my own issue and no I don't suffer any sleeping problems per say, I just have bad time management.
I just finished watching a Korean Drama series based off of one of my favorite manga's. (And yes this is nothing Disney related, but in the description I point out that there would be occasional rants. This is one of many I'm sure. If you still read this blog after this wonderful entry, thank you in advance.) I'm having a love/hate relationship with the show, but everything aside, I can now check that off of my "to-do-list"/"bucket list".
And now, if my brain and whatever else will let me, I'd like to study the inside of my eyelids.Or, Disnified, I want to sail away to Lullaby Bay.

Last time I just briefly gave a welcome. I want to expand on that a little bit.
Hi! I'm Kiki and am a Disney Geek of sorts. I help run Reedy Creek Radio, a great online radio station that plays Disney music from the parks and the movies. It's a lot of fun to listen to, and also has a chat room where you can join in Disney discussions all day long. Or, there is also a forum to discuss the latest and greatest in Disney news, or memories of the past.
I also co-host the Remember the Magic podcast. MarcRTM is the host, and on the show we discuss Disney and the parks in general. Marc is a wonderful person and has been very kind as I have been unable to be part of the last few episodes. Mark Silverman has been filling in for me and is another great friend and Disney fanatic.
Last but definitely NOT least is Audio Mirror FM. I am honored to say that I am a member of their amazing staff! Hope in England is the manager and creator of this wonderful station! I host Disney Delights on that station, but as of January of 2011 it's on hiatus. Not because I want to but life loves to get in the way of hobbies!
So that's it for right now. Have a magical weekend!!
I used to use this blog 4 years ago for a high school english class and totally forgot. So yay! This is just a test post and hope to post better items in the future!
