Maybe they're working on another toy-to-life combo, like Transformers... or Tony Hawk.

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.

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.

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.

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

I kinda feel like this is a situation where I need to tell a trusted adult about the thing I found on the internet.

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!

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

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

I never thought I'd watch a video where the audio was clipping 100% of the time.

Only the power of Jeff Gerstmann destroys our expectations of ourselves.

Just when I though that "You know" couldn't be taken to a new level... BOOM!!! There comes the Gerst Man and takes it to a whole new level. "You know" will never be the same.

And Skylanders, I guess.
