Magicka: Vietnam announced
Day one.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Do we get to say that there's something profoundly wrong in a magnificently right way at Arrowhead now? I wonder what it'll be like gameplay wise.

Brilliant.
Any other words would merely sully the simplicity of its truth.

Am I correct that this is about taking the piss out of one of the newer Battlefield games?
Credo!

I think we're all missing the real point here - Look in the background - there's a herlicopter fighting a dragon.
You can see where I'm going with this.

I would like to know what Arrowhead are smoking, and furthermore where I might acquire some of this bizarre herb.
I own Magicka, but I haven't yet had a chance to play - is it still as buggy as I've heard?

Re: Magicka: Vietnam announced
Robes + pyromania inspiring magic + heavy weapons + Vietnam setting = What are they smoking there?! And when can I pre-order?
Is that a real song or was it made for the trailer?
Where can I get a wallpaper version of that trailer final image?!

It's a spoof on Surfin' Bird by the Trashmen, as popularized in Full Metal Jacket.

Just watched the trailer. Holy shit. They've made a new Cannon Fodder, that isn't actually the new Cannon Fodder.

Depends what you heard. It's fairly stable in multi and completely stable in single-player. Used to be much worse.I would like to know what Arrowhead are smoking, and furthermore where I might acquire some of this bizarre herb.

Re: Magicka: Vietnam announced
Why are there a pair of F-22s flying overhead in that last few seconds of the trailer? -_-
I mean, in-game a second before, it was an F-4 shadow immediately preceding the napalm strike. F-4s are good and appropriate. F-22s? Not so much.

Why on earth would you complain about anachronistic aircraft in a trailer for a game about arcane robed wizards fighting in Vietnam?

Obviously the magic summons the F-22s from the future.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

I just realized something hilarious:
Not only are they wearing helmets and flak jackets over their robes, but their staves are actually American Flags.
