Four Years Later, and Skylanders Still Hasn't Been Matched

Seriously, why is that? It shouldn't be hard to figure out. Create a toy with an NFC chip, make a game around it using a standard adventure formula, save relevant data on said toy and try not to make decisions that screw people over. On the surface, it doesn't seem that difficult. It may be that Skylanders makes it look easy, but in all honesty the series isn't doing anything special.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will bring about the End Of The World -- And it's all that little droid's fault

By now, if you give five shits about Star Wars (and I'd hope so if you're reading this) then you've already seen the latest teaser trailer for Episode VII. If not, what the fuck? There's more epic and awesome in that little trailer than an evening on the lake with Zack Snyder and Michael Bay dueling in samurai gear on C4-powered jet skis. And it's not causing a stir because it's full of action and amazing-looking set pieces. It's making fans old and new foam in the pants because it's a new Star Wars, and it doesn't look like goofy melodramatic shit.
