![]() It isn’t bad, but it is essentially hack & slash - and the hack & slash gets tiring after a while. You move with the left thumbstick, and hammer the face buttons to fire different weapons which will (hopefully) kill the baddies before they have a chance to kill you. Though there are guns to be used and abused (and grenades and rocket launchers, too - this is the second main difference between titles), the combat is still basically the same. And while this is one of the game’s strengths, it is also one of its weaknesses. The simple gameplay from the first game is primarily intact. It’s still very impressive visually, and frankly, striking in its bizarre beauty. This time around, we see planes and tanks and vast battlefields and robots and even aliens. ![]() The first Deathspank featured a strictly- fairy tale land. This is one of two main differences between the games. The 2-D popup-book world from the first game is back, but modernized. We would also like to thank the folks at TriplePoint and HotHead Games for setting up the Q&A session with DeathSpank even though he didn’t leave a tip for the waitress.In another insane adventure from the mind of Ron Gilbert, our goofball hero Deathspank (fresh from his victory over Lord Von Prong) is dispatched to recover the Thongs of Virtue - which entails a silly Lord of the Rings-ish backstory - so that they may be destroyed (since they corrupt all wearers, except, it seems, Deathspank). Thank you for a lovely evening, DeathSpank. If all else fails, try offering her a piece of Mutoe, everyone loves how that guy tastes!Īfter a few drinks and couple more plates of bacon wrapped with bacon, DeathSpank had to leave us to find a local outhouse to get back to his adventure. Offer your hand to her and she may in return offer back her heart. Your secret crush may have required you to vanquish evil, locate a special item of value or simply just have the protection of a hero. I do this with the Red Princess in The Baconing and it works very well. Offer your helping hand in any quests she may have so you can prove your worthiness. There’s this girl at my school that I really, really like. I don’t really have a favorite color, but I would have to say a clean thong would be my number one choice! Which is your favorite Thong of Virtue to wear in battle? Trust me, you want to keep your shark buddies very, very happy. And since Bob has a very short temper, not to mention sharp teeth, I really need to make sure that my feedback is full of gentle, and sweet justice. ![]() While his laser eyes, swordfish and swimming abilities make his a fond friend in battle, his constant barrage of ideas can get pretty tiring. It is a challenge working with a hammerhead shark in a business suit who excels in marketing. What’s it like working with Bob from marketing? So stand back, and take cover, because the world has never seen this much justice being dispensed at once. And let’s face it, there is a lot of delicious salty, porky meat in the world. I will dispense more justice in The Baconing than all of the bacon in the world. How much justice will you dispense in the Baconing? From sci-fi inspired worlds like The Forest of Tomorrow and Rainbow’s End, to crazy characters like the godfather of the McMafia family and Mutoe, the edible abomination and our homage to theme parks and Mickey Mouse, it is easily the most epic journey that should be experienced before any other of my adventures. The next adventure is easily a ten and the craziest one I have ever been on in my storied hero life. On a scale of 1-10 how epic is your next adventure? The only problem with that recipe is that it’s simply too hot to enjoy! Let it simmer for a few seconds and bam…a delicious bowl of bacon fire soup with crispy thongs. Add to it one well worked Thong of Justice. Simply find one molten lava pool of bacon fire. One recipe I used a few times in my latest adventure was bacon fire soup with crispy thongs. With endless potential piles of loot, weapons, money, food and a new weapon of justice inside, a treasure chest is simply the best thing in life! And when DeathSpank comes across a treasure chest, he gets as excited as a schoolgirl in love. ![]() Adventuring is a tough business but there are benefits to this crazy field of work. The best thing in life is opening treasure chests. During the dinner, we asked DeathSpank a few questions about his bacon recipes and his upcoming epic adventure. Recently, at the fanciest restaurant in San Francisco, GotGame had the privilege of sitting down and having a nice romantic bacon wrapped dinner with DeathSpank, who you all might know from his popular comedy action rpg games DeathSpank and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue with his third game coming out pretty soon, The Baconing.
