Nope. Jeff doesnt kid about Skylanders stuff. The man has spent a fortune on this stuff.

Well at least over 300 dollars.

Jeff strikes me as the kind of crazy fucker who would spend $300 for a joke.

I wish he would have spent that money on a decent microphone instead.

I never really got the appeal of Skylanders. That being said, entertaining video, Jeff.

Just a couple minutes in and for some reason all I feel like David Jaffe has taken control of Jeff.

Although now it started to sound more like standard Jeff.

I've always loved Giant Bomb because of the crew's amazing ability for entertainment through humorous sarcasm and earnestness for stupid and dumb things, but Jeff and this piece of content blurs that line more than anything I've ever witnessed on this website.

Just this morning I bought a Drobot.

I don't own skylanders the game but goddamn, Drobot clearly needs a sponsor. He's sitting on my bookcase so I can keep an eye on him.

My point is that Activision needs to pay Jeff commission.

Drobot's origin story is ultimate underdog

Quick, someone resurrect Battle Beasts before Skylanders and Disney Infinity iterate this concept into the ground!

Edit: Oh, apparently this already happened (http://www.battlebeast.com/). Well, make a portal game with them!

I'm glad they made a Giant Bomb figure, to represent their biggest investor, Jeff Gerstmann.

Can't say the swapping body parts gets me really excited, the fact that it's running on a new engine is cool though.

Also, fucking JUMPING.

man, the videos where he doesn't use the mic from the post-holiday video are almost unwatchable because of the audio quality. constantly clipping, and barely audible if you turn it down enough to not blow your ears out.

I was SO tempted to go down the rabbit hole with that first game, but I managed to stop myself. The second game brought that desire back a little bit. Watching this video (on top of waking the house) makes me think that desire is going to be VERY hard to avoid if the game is decent.

Jeff I don't know what you did with your last mic but this one is really bad once you get over a certain volume.

Get the other mic

If this was any other human being I wouldn't have listened to the whole thing (twice)

I hope Jeff gets a compressor for that mic now that he's doing so many videos from home!

Why has no one reacted to that Washbuckle looks almost like Davy Jones in Pirates of the Carribean?! It weirded me out. The designers must have known that, right?
