- Scott learns how to chase waste.
Special thanks to Zak and Make-A-Wish! Over the summer, Make-A-Wish contacted me about Zak and it was one of the coolest experiences meeting him. He requested a Scott The Woz episode on Skylanders: Trap Team back in June, but I asked if Toys to Life in general would be okay considering it would be tough to do an episode on its own about just that one game. Zak played Dex Mohs in this episode!

Now that I'm older, I can understand how the toys-to-life was just a big cash grab, but when I was a younger that shit was awesome asf, and still is
THAT SHET GUD
Ok but I just realized, aren't tabletop games like Warhammer just the EXACT same but the figurines have a physical use.
I'm fairly certain that if you take another commenter's statement that they shouldn't have done yearly releases, add in a collector's and physical reason to buy the figurines (also make them cheaper, like $4 or $5 max), and don't fall into the Skylander's money pit/trap, and a couple of other aesthetic, design, and content changes, you could theoretically revive the genre to an extent.
I was 15 when the toys to life craze started so I missed out on the entire thing. And even if I were a kid, my parents were broke. lol
I still think tehy are, even though i know the real purpose.
Only the start of activision's greediness + yearly games for more cash. We never realized this when the games were popular we just bought them and played. They were like fortnite where everyone just wanted to collect them all(except real life not in game). Also the definition of pay to win.
I think the Waste Chaser jokes are some of the funniest things Scott's written. The "I bought 30 acres of farmland." "What are you gonna do with it?" quote followed by them just smiling in silence at the camera gets me every time
Yeah, way better than the obvious route of exclaiming ”Nothing!”
It’s up there
Mad respect to the kid, dude was sick enough for Make-a-Wish to visit, and he chose to be immortalized in a Scott the Woz video. Bless his soul.

I only later realized that this entire hour long episode was was for a make-a-wish kid. Scott put way more effort into this than he needed to, and that's awesome.
To be fair, Zak only wanted an episode about Skylanders: Trap Team. It was Scott, who bloated it up. He also could've done an episode about all Skylanders games. Instead he threw all TtL games in the mix. Also this episode isn't only for that one kid, but for all of us to enjoy.
@@tkoch263 I see it more of a "oh you wanted a video on one skylander game? How about the entire toys to life genre and I make it an hour long"

Forget G4, that's nothing, Scott's now big enough to be a Make a Wish request.

He actually was before. I think its on Scotts Stash
this is his second that I can think of. Last one was a kid who wanted to meet scott and they did a zoom call. Its in his community tab if you scroll back far enough.

Skylanders was the good stuff
That’s awsome I didn’t know that
Is the make a wish kid the boss character?
From watching this, this actually MADE ME revisit Skylanders for not just the nostalgia, but to beat EVERY game (except for Giants since I don't own it) on Nightmare difficulty.
Thank you for bringing my childhood back to life!
Giants is only around $8 you should really get it it's such a good game! And the nightmare mode is insanely fun and challenging
@@AsraliaX2 nah swap force is the only one worth playing, least toys to collect, no bullshit traps that you have to buy along with the figures

@ Asriel OnTH-cam Giants was my first Skylanders game. I almost collected all of the Giants, but the only one I couldn’t find was that whale guy ( I forget his name).

You forgot to mention that Disney Infinity had a much sweeter ending. After announcing the discontinuation of the series, Disney ported all the games to PC, titled the Gold Editions. Every single character, play set, and power piece was all unlocked at the start and each game is only $30. Although the Gold Edition games do have some content that was missing from the original console releases, the Apolo mod for Disney Infinity 3.0 is a fanmade mod that aims to add in all the characters not included in the PC port. There's also a ton of scrapped, cancelled or unused content and characters that have been restored to full functionality! If you want to play Disney Infinity without the hassle of individually buying everything, get the Gold Editions.
it's still kinda greasy they didn't release just an all in one gold edition.
i seriously didn't know you couldn't use older play sets in the newer games until this video.
do the mods at least remove the no crossover restrictions?
And the best part?
I got all 3 on sale during the summer sale for less than 1 of those gold editions.
Truly the best way to pay for something part of Disney & gaming history.
That is dope. I might go buy 3.0 and attempt to relive my childhood.
Yeah this comment singlehandedly changes my perspective on Disney Infinity, because honestly was interested by the idea but was surprised there were any fans at all for the series.
No coop mode, and that's how I wanted to experience it...

Ah yes, the climax of the Subspace Emissary
That literally came out of nowhere
Skylanders was honestly so dope as a kid and did give you that feeling that each of your characters was really your own. So each win or level felt more personally impactful, it’s crazy how they twisted our minds 😭
After watching the bloopers for this video I appreciate Scott and his friends skits so much more because they are so genuine
In my eyes, Skylanders Imaginators was a thankful goodbye, letting you create what they no longer could.
Damn thinking of it that way makes it feel oddly melancholic
That’s sweet
Yeah and with how the story ended with Kaos being in a position where he can't really escape might be an way of them showing that Skylanders Imaginators was them saying good bye to the series just in case the game didn't do well.
I still have Spyro from giants and crash on my shelf along with donkey kong im still trying to find bowser cause un ironically I think that bowser design is cool
They were working on a script for skylanders 7 but they couldn't since kaos was trapped and they were too lazy to make a new villian so it wasnt meant to be a goodbye

@@nolaklutz796 sounds more consumer friendly since I wish we can get a skylander toy with a kids meal. Today Activison wouldn’t like this.
I do remember being able to get a free mini skylander by entering a code from a chip bag, I still have mine. It was like a mini Eyebrawl.
@@locomotivesyt8877 oh yeah I remember seeing that
I bet there’s a way to make that more profitable than the current model.
48:52 my dad was out of a job because he worked for Disney and they were actually super close to finishing the game when it got cancelled which was pretty frustrating for most people working on it. It has a complete Moana playset included and some Black Panther stuff if I remember correctly. He's now working for Warner Brothers and worked on Cars: Driven to Win.
It was a mistake for Disney to make this an annual franchise. 2.0 made sense as a next-gen upgrade, but after that they should just focus on releasing figures and campaigns.
ive been looking in to it out of nostalgia and there is a massive community dedicated to this game. i wonder what it could have been like
@@Golemoid It's kind of like the approach Harmonix took with Rock Band, after seeing how quickly Activision took their original vision (Guitar Hero) and drove it deep and hard into the ground. The influx of music games with plastic instrument controllers at the time was getting exhausting for people. And recognizing this, they decided Rock Band 4 is the last game, and they'll just keep supporting it with new music and updates as long as they can. So that all you need is the instruments for the current console you have it for, instead of needing new stuff every year.
To this day I'm sad that they never released the Rogue One DLC for Infinity. That had potential.
@@LordPichuPal I remember that the moment disney announced their Toys-to-life-game people were already tolling the bell for the death of the genre, because it was such a similar situation to the whole Plastic-tat-rhythm-game thing that happened like the _week_ before.
7:49 For some reason that line made me piss my pants.
I vividly remember stealing my friend’s skylanders book with a bunch of info on the characters and feeling so bad for it
Hearing Scottt talk about Skylanders feels like such a fever dream
So im not the only one then.
Yes it does

This wasn't the first time.
Dude for real
As a speedrunner of the skylanders series… watching this is an experience.
Glitches go crazy in the first two games especially. There are tons of ways to jump, clip through walls, and warp between coordinates!
Fixes the boredom of slow paced simple gameplay too.
I am curious, what is speedrunning these games like? Skylanders was pretty obviously a big part of my childhood. I could never speedrun a toys to life game. I would just sit there crying of nostalgia.
@@randomnerd5913 speedrunning these games in my opinion is very fun. For a fan, I think the best thing about speedrunning these games is the variety of skylanders used, and the glitches that only specific skylanders can do
@@randomnerd5913 The speedruns are mostly movement tricks, with a few glitches here and there, as well as figuring out ideal boss fights. We at the Skylanders speedrunning community think they're great speedgames, and even if you don't have all the necessary figures for some glitches you can still use who you do have for a competitive time.
You can jump in the first two games??????
I’ve always had in interest in trying to speedrun skylander games
14:53 Someone should make a game in the style of Toys For Life (but maybe without actual toys, but just have them ingame, and make you unlock them by playing it) and have characters like the swap-force characters. It's such a fun mechanic. Imagine what you could do nowadays with such an idea. Yes a big part of the charm was that you actually swapped the parts in real life, but even then
There was a game called Starlink: Battle for Atlas they essentially did this. It was a space ship exploration action game that was extremely modular. You chose your pilot, your ship base, your wings, and your weapons, all of which you would actually put together in real life. The Nintendo switch version even had Starfox in the game, with the campaign story itself even being different and integrating Starfox characters into it. And, on top of that, when you scanned in your various ship parts, you would then be able to go into your menu and switch between parts you had scanned in without needing to constantly take apart and swap the physical toy if you felt like it. They even had the ability to let you just buy digital versions of the toy parts, allowing you to play the entire game without ever actually having to own one of the toy ships. It was a really cool concept for a game that unfortunately came out during the death of toys to life as a concept. In many ways I consider it to be the last big attempt at a toys to life game. It's massive sales failure made it pretty clear that toys to life as an era if gaming was over, and that not even a game that technically was a long awaited sequel to Starfox could change that.
The fact skylanders convinced us the old portals wouldn’t work, when they absolutely should have is wild
"Someone call Ripley's Believe It or Not and tell them I don't" is a great line. 23:20
Lol
I'm at Blackpool, I'll Do It.
Thats gonna be my senior quote next year
that line had me laughing so hard
I will say this about Skylanders, they had a lot of guts and creativity to go all out and created a billion dollar franchise while being a totally independent IP. Lego Dimensioned and Disney Infinity were replying on heavily established franchises and worlds to sell their toys, but Skylanders started from nothing except for Spyro's name and somehow managed to create an entire universe.
Like I can't even imagine how many resources went into creating the 32 original characters and the 100+ characters that came after that. Scott was a bit harsh on their looks and names but to kids who played this game when it came out, these Skylanders were the newest iteration of Pokemon. Every single Skylander looked so different and played so different with unique attacks and abilities. You didn't have to get them all, but as a kid, you sure felt like you did and they really made the game come alive. It was not just a forgettable kids game, it was a solid story that you played through with heroes that you chose to play as.
I got a sizable number of Skylanders and no two ever felt like copies or even mimics, they were all incredibly distant and such joys to play as. And being able to play as different characters was replay value all in itself and well worth the 10 dollar price tag. This level of quality stayed consistent across all the games and the backwards compatibility was beyond compare. For the figure you got in 2011 to be just as valuable and playable as a figure you got in 2016 was applaudable in a very mark.
Overall, I will always have very fond memories or Skylanders, the best toys to life game without a doubt. They started with nothing but, through crazy marketing, characters, and quality control, managed to create something that every kid who lived in the early 2010 will remember. There really was a magic to the early toys to life and will always be grateful that Skylanders let me experience that.
Amen
You have spoken the most truth I’ve seen about skylanders. Thank you.
wasn't the first one "Spyro's Adventure"?
I will still forever hold contempt towards them for using Spyro's name as a marketing shell.
Thank you obi-wan.

@@STEEZY_TREV16skylander fans: :(
Honestly, my brother and I got HOURS of fun and enjoyment from all three versions of Disney Infinity (which we had all of and played on the Wii/WiiU. we even pooled months' worth of chore money to buy 3.0 ourselves). We only had maybe ten characters (not including starter pack characters), but we just kind of kicked it in the Toy Box and made maps and challenges for ourselves the best we could; literally not caring about anything else in the game nor how other aspects of the game even worked. Truly some of my fondest early gaming memories. It was surprisingly magical as a kid, and even though I absolutely recognize the problems nowadays, it's (1.0 and 3.0 especially) still probably one of my top games purely in the realm of nostalgia.

I think one of the main appeals of skylanders is just kids liking the character designs. The individual characters also made easy gifts for relatives to pick out once the child had the game
I agree
They had good gameplay too. Scott said they are button mashers, but try playing on higher difficulty without dying. It could get pretty intense for a "kids" game.

I imagine you hanging out and out of the blue you grab a big book with skylanders on the front and run out of their house as fast as you can
I feel like the problem with Skylanders was that the games were coming out once a year. If they were spread out more, then it would've helped to feel more fresh
It's the same problem that killed Guitar Hero, funnily enough another Activision franchise. Instead of taking their time with releasing new games to not only ensure quality, but to prevent their demographic from getting burnt out on new entries with their own new toys to buy, they annualized it and milked it until they not only ran the franchise into the ground, but the entire genre it started, just like their idiotic "let's release ten Guitar Hero games in the span of a year" practice that killed the music sim genre.
Activition earned 1 billion dollars from milking skylanders like holy shit.

@@Liam-jy7yi 3 billion but now microsoft is gonna make a new one next year.
honestly yearly franchises (other than sports ones) always end up feeling very similar. like assassins creed nearly got fucked over because they kept releasing mediocre games annually lmao
I’ve only ever played “Skylanders: Imaginators” out of all of these titles, but Scott’s not kidding about that initial feeling of magic when the toys leap to life on your screen. The sound design and music (thank you, Lorne Balfe!) of the series really adds to that as well!
My favorite thing from Skylanders isn't the gameplay (it's cool but not ground-breaking), it's the atmosphere, the roaster of character, KAOS and of course, the music that I still listen to this day !
If you ever decide to play any other skylander game for whatever reason I recommend Giants because it was great in my opinion, though that may be because it was my first one.
Trap team = 👑 (also the best skylander blaster tron was added is a villain but came out as a figure in imaginators)
@@ZeroSensed giants was also my favorite. I only played the first 3 games, but personally I think giants was the best of those 3. It was strangely the most charmingly atmospheric one, and while graphically the 3rd looked better, I still remember most of the levels from giants.
I really wish we could get the whole series now in a collection without the need of figures on steam. Sadly Activision doesn’t have any interest in anything that won’t make a bang for the buck.
It's kinda fun playing Skylanders like a nuzlocke. Play at the hardest difficulty or something and get 1 random new skylander after each level.
This is such a good idea. I need to remember to do this someday
@@DanielTheOcto Basically you put each of the ones you own onto a lucky wheel, then when you start you spin the wheel for your starter Skylander, and then every level after you get a new one
Perhaps for Trap Team, you could also say you get one new Skylander and a new trap every level, since having every trap is kinda op (Well, I don't have every trap, never got light and dark).
It’s cute that this whole video was made for a make a wish kid and Scott went all out
From what I understand about Disney Infinity from interviews, one of the main reasons there weren't crossovers is because it was a paperwork nightmare. People think licensing Disney stuff is bad outside of the company, but apparently it's just as bad inside as well. I remember a developer essentially saying it would be easier to license Michael Jackson's likeness for a one-off character he did for Disney than it would be to get a specific version of Mickey Mouse.
Considering Sora had to skip Smash 4 despite winning its ballot and Yoshi-P (lead dev of FF14) wants absolutely fucking nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts, *yeah.*
Dammit, now I want a Captain EO figurine...
Really makes it a shame the 4th game didn't come out. It's main story was going to be the big crossover.
6:37, he has a point. If a child employs you they're an entrepreneur. But if you employ them then you're subject to child labor laws.

I think that there was definitely some merit to the toys for life formula. Like Scott said, it definitely seemed magical placing a Skylanders game on the portal and watching him pop up in the game. To kids, these characters were really being transported from the real world to the game. This definitely does seem more magical than a character selection screen, but if a family to buy every single character, it was way overpriced.
14:46 I think this is the first time I've ever seen Scott showing actual enthusiasm and enjoyment towards a video-game gimmick
Gimmick ≠ bad
This is the best nostalgia trip ever; very humorous. Then again, I wasn't the one who paid for all those skylanders.

Fun fact, Disney has actually started selling *actual toys* that have the Disney infinity style, of course it’s not the same as having an infinity 4.0 but it’s still pretty neat to see new Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars characters in that style.

The Spencer's Gifts joke is way too underrated
I like how thorough the whole video and each entry in an entire franchise. Only a single sentence is ever invested into Skylanders plot
Not only did Scott fulfill Zak’s wish but he went above and beyond making a 1 hour special and featuring him. Truly a class act and just heartwarming!
As a guy born 2004, I believe that Skylanders defined a big part of the people born in the mid 2000's. It was THE game people played because of a concept that we thought should not be possible. Together with probably Lego Star Wars and New Super Mario Bros. it is one of the top three games I played on the Wii and I still listen to the soundtrack, and so does many of my friends.
the Wii is the best era in my opinion
Honestly the original entry's soundtrack was exceptional. Very good game as well, it's just the shady concept that puts me off, even if the gameplay makes it make sense and keeps everyone balanced, besides that one rock type dragon that could roll around and kill everything.
cap nobody was playing ts people were playing gta
As someone who was born in the mid 2000s, I literally didn’t know Skylanders existed until I saw a Silent Rob video mocking it.
I remember a lot of time playing wii sports with my brother and it was very fun
Scott channels his inner Principle Skinner at 54:11
Seeing these games invokes so much nostalgia, I loved this series. Me and my brother played the hell out of our Wii and I remember we had superchargers but no portal or cars and I remember how happy I was when we finally did get them. (We played it twice.)
“I’m not trying to kill ya, I’m just making eggs”
- Scott the as seen on G4 Woz
You forgot to mention the absolute coolest part of imaginators: there was a phone app that let you make your skylander, and you could actually pay to get a full Model 3D printed and sent to your house, and it even worked as a Skylander. Even if Imaginators itself was kinda lame, it was by far the coolest thing I ever saw a toys to life game do.
Also the Skykanders Netflix series is surprisingly good.
Idk the netflix series always annoyed me, the humor was just too childish and dumb. Then again, maybe it’s just because my younger brothers wouldn’t stop watching it on repeat
Ok, that's amazing. Also there's a tv show? Didn't know that.
@@spiggly_digg my brother used to watch it, and all I have to say is that the theme song could be for literally any kids show
Wait they did that???
Yeah, but did you watch the episode with Crash Bandicoot ? It’s so bad.
As a kid I loved Skylanders. Now that I’m older and know it’s all just a cash grab, I’m still gonna buy them all because I need Flameslinger in my life again.
Skylanders was my CHILDHOOD. Oddly enough, I never owned the first game. Thanks for giving it the spotlight, Scott!
Same actually. I jumped onto the good old Skylanders bandwagon at Giants. Collected most of the figures up to Imaginators since then. I was so sad to see the franchise go, since it was basically my childhood. Yeah, ok, looking back now this thing must’ve been a nightmare for my parents to fund. But I still fondly remember the excitement I would get by walking into Smyth’s Toy Superstore to buy my next figurine.
Rest in peace Skylanders. Thanks for making so many childhoods magical.
Oh man this was a trip down memory lane for me since I worked at a Toys R Us while I was in college and got to live through the toys to life craze at its peak. The games were fine but you could tell that it was just a prettied up version of micro transactions that kids were crazy about, parents hated, and made our lives miserable due to how confusing it was to keep track of all the different figures and games that they did/didn’t work on. I still look back on it fondly though, I guess. There was this divorced dad who used to take his really shy son there on Saturday’s to pick out a new sky lander every so often that I got to know well and genuinely miss talking to sometimes. He was a swell dude and I even remember him bringing me a cup off hot cocoa once as a thank you for always recognizing him and being nice to his son
That is an adorable story.
The TRU kid never rep'd in the commercials...
...but a true TRU kid, nonetheless. GG Niche!
Hold up… how old was this kid? Because in 2013 my dad would always take me and my really young brother to toys r us after my swim training and a guy who worked there would talk to me about what figures I wanted. And my dad bought him coffee once to say thanks…
@@sambreyer7344 I’d guess about 7 or 8 at the time. I believe he was an only child though
@@NichePlays when was this?
I remember the excitement when I first tried out Skylanders. Collecting all the figurines for the first game really felt special and I remember that I would always put new skylanders on my wishlist for birthday and christmas.
But as years passed you could quickly see how it turned into a money sink more than anything else. And developers (looking at you Disney) only cared about making a profit off of the Toys to Life concept.
It was great while it lasted, thank you Skylanders. :)
I fully agree with you
Swap Force & Trap Team were so good, man.
My childhood
I had fun with the game, but looking back if it wasn’t the greediest concept. Also I will never forgive activision for throwing Spyro in there like he couldn’t solo everyone there. Not that it didn’t work. The Legend of Spyro Trilogy was my childhood and I legit only got into skylanders thinking it was a direct sequel/the next era to Spyro’s story. I can still feel the disappointment…
Bruh the bosses from the middle games were ssssoooooooooo gggggooooooooodd
I just can't believe they got the original voice actor for Chell!
Its fun looking back and rembering walking into a store and saying to my mother "yea its the same thing but this one glows!"
Disney infinity is a prime example of how to do a toys to life game while being hellbent on protecting all of your IPs. They don't want Jack Sparrow interacting with Cars or Frozen because it ”would be bad for them”
They can interact with anime style characters though
This is why I liked LEGO Dimensions, if I wanted to drive the Batmobile with a Gremlin through a Back To The Future level I could.
@@sirprintalot ...& he did _just that_ folks!
Just that, but *not* just that...
Hm. I should give that a looksie..
Sky landers was probably one of my fondest gaming memories, as a 9 to 10 year old kid watching the figures basically become real in the game was like magic. The smile that was on my face when I experienced that for the first time was probably as big as the sun
Yeah man their was something magical (pun not intended) about playing Skylanders at that age I think the Giants figures were really cool since when you put them on the portal their eyes lit up.
I played giants a lot with my friend but didn’t actually own it. The only ones I actually own are the original and trap team. I don’t really know why but after the first game I didn’t have much interest in the others, I just kept playing the first. Then I decided to get trap team just to see something new and while it was good nothing beats the first one for me
@@solidskullz5736 yeah I get that Giants was my first Skylanders game and I had a lot of fun with it
Yea my first game was swap force and it was fun, but then later that year I asked for trap team for Christmas and was totally hooked. I bought a new sky lander every chance I got and remember my mom driving to a GameStop an hour away to get me a kaos trap at retail price. Those were the days. I played a n my Wii U
Same here from 6 to 10 I remember them being such one of the only things I spend my money on saying that I just realised wow no wonder my dad left
38:25 i find it really funny that you say that because giants and superchargers were always my favourites as a kid and even now. definitely has more to do with the game itself than it does the magic of the gimmick but the toys to life thing didnt really wow me after game 1 anyways, i just enjoyed the collection aspect and having to beg my parents to get me them lol
I'm surprised that when talking about the traps in trap team he didn't mention the Kaos trap and the sole fact that you spent like 10 bucks for a piece of plastic that let's you play as one villian for a short period of time. The rest of the traps were themed around the other elements and you could collect multiple different villians with them which was the whole point of it in the first place yet this trap was only used for Kaos and imagine beating the game which at first wasn't easy and then finding out opps I need to buy another trap to be able to collect Kaos which means having to replay the boss again to have another shot of doing it. Even as a kid that made me mad.
Kinda hilarious though, in retrospect. Because of COURSE the main villain couldn't just be a dark type character or whatever the fuck the evil purple one was.
@@stevenbobbybills ayo what’s your favorite periodic table element?
Me: Kaos
I was honestly super mad when I first saw that. Like, these final bosses go hard, so having to go through that…AGAIN was just enraging
I still love almost every game and I’d retry them if I ever could
@@theman6422 What made me angry was how difficult the kaos trap was to find. I took me travelling across country (for another reason) just to find the stupid thing.
Let me tell you something: I had every Skylander, and that time in my life feels like a fever dream. Swap Force was the best one, yes.
giants was better imo
@@ptralx3122 You can't jump in Giants.
loved swap force too much

Little surprised this wasn't the Christmas episode, the length, amount of stuff to talk about, skit and song potential for this topic felt through the roof. It's really cool that Scott did this for Zak though, it feels just as monumental as the special season start and end episodes. Really excited to see whatever we end up getting for Christmas this year!
Ham?
This wont mean scott isnt going to post a film length cbristmas special.

Wait 2 weeks
There will be one
Does anybody know where Zak cameoed in this? I don’t remember seeing him
@@finnwilko in the description it says which he role he plays
32:34 The top right corner scares me
Scott you are a amazing person for dedicating a whole episode to Zak and Scott your audience adores you so much
I grew up with skylanders. I have to say, asking your parents for a skylander on the way home and driving home with it on a warm summer evening waiting in anticipation to play it when you get home is not beat by much in terms of nostalgia.
I know this feeling, great memories
I was born in 2000, so I just barely missed out on Skylanders/Disney Infinity. Guess I'll never get to experience that nostalgia....
Same
man, its honestly kinda sad since modern generations wont experience that stuff.
“I have two birthdays”
Oh my god. Scott just fixed his own continuity “error”. In the Mario Party video, Rex said his birthday was on January 27, but in Borderline Forever he said his birthday was “today”. It could have easily been assumed Borderline took place on January 27, but no. Scott went out of his way to address this and I respect that SO MUCH!
Even Tolkien lore doesn't run this deep, hot damn.
His attention to continuity is incredible
Wow
He simultaeneously doesn't worry about continuity and pays explicit attention to his continuity.
@@theruoc147 he said he was gonna die in three years in dollar store gaming
Oh no.
Wow, posting this video right when the Skylander community was growing, this guy is a genius… And it worked !
Skylanders was one of the first games my wife and I played together when we first started dating. Good memories.
Didn’t realize Scott cared so deeply about Goofy’s exclusion from Infinity
Which is funny as he was going to be in 3.0, But he got shafted for Olaf (Which is Sad, But I'm also fine with as Olaf is the only Frozen character I essentially like anyway)
Someone make him a goofy disney infinity figure out of play dough stat.
I would but i ate all my play dough already
@@Internazionale2010 sharing is caring
who wouldn't care about that
Never thought I’d see Scott switch to movie reviews, but I love that you’ve decided to explore Toy Story.
He still only reviewed the Toy Story game
53:49 at the end of the day, I like to think that this is the reason why Crash had come back
Amiibo was absolutely Nintendo's response to Skylanders
