This week @Calxiyn and @libregkd are joined by a special guest, @Misty! And we come together to give you all another spoilercast! For those who aren't familiar with the concept, on the KH-Vids Podcast we sometimes decide to do special episodes focused on a certain video game, movie, book, etc. in all its spoiler-y glory. This time around we choose to focus on Life is Strange, the episodic darling of last year from the folks at Dontnod Entertainment. The game was released throughout 2015 and has gained a dedicated following as all the episodes were put out.

We begin by discussing the ending of the game and the controversy surrounding that. From there we discuss our reactions to the story and the characters, our favorite episodes in the game, and moments that stood out to us. Finally, we discuss the possibilities for the future of Life is Strange as Dontnod has confirmed a sequel of some sort is in the works.

This episode goes on far longer than our normal podcast, so much so that we've included a 15 minute long supplementary piece simply titled "Things Misty Hated and Loved About Life is Strange" so be sure to check that out as well after listening to the Spoilercast! And huge thanks to @Misty for creating the album covers for this week!

As previously reported from Disney's D23 Expo last August, Disney Infinity's Ultimate Unlock for the 3.0 version of the game was announced to be a Kingdom Key Keyblade. Now we know from a Q&A held over Twitch that the Keyblade will be available beginning on March 15!

For the uninitiated, an Ultimate Unlock is a special award given to players of the game who purchase every figure that's been released so far. For the 3.0 expansion, this will include the figures of Judy Hopps and Nick from upcoming Disney film Zootopia, as well as Marvel characters Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, and Vision, all releasing on March 15.

In the past, Ultimate Unlocks have also hinted at the future of Disney Infinity, the past two being Star Wars-related items; Star Wars, of course, was the main theme of 3.0. This isn't the first taste of Kingdom Hearts in Disney Infinity, either--D23 attendees were all given exclusive Power Discs to give Mickey his outfit from the Kingdom Hearts series.
