[quote]How would wizards have changed the path of one of America's most contentious conflicts?

Magicka is a fun PC game that recently released. In the game you control a wizard that can create any number of different spell combinations, encouraging an experimental approach to gameplay. It also has a lighthearted tone, so iit shouldn't come as a surprise that the first expansion is going into unexplored territory -- the war-ravaged jungles of Vietnam.

We'll let the press release speak for itself. Publisher Paradox Interactive and developer Arrowhead Studios had this to share:

"Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if wizards were allowed to roam the jungles of war-torn Vietnam, attempting to bring peace and stability to the region by casting spells on all opponents? Wait, you haven’t ever wondered that? Ever? Okay, so we’re probably the only ones who have but in our defense: here’s your chance to stop being so closed-minded. Magicka: Vietnam delivers over-the-top action as players take on the role of four meek and physically inept wizards as they try to do what so many 80’s action stars have done in the past: blow stuff up."

If you're still reading, you're probably already sold on the concept. Here's the trailer. [/quote]

I love you, Arrowhead Studios. :buddy:

[Flipschtik]

This is the most ridiculous idea I have ever saw and I love it.

[Xeon06]

Those devs are amazing. Does anyone know if it's a full game or just a DLC?

Why is Arrowhead so god damn awesome?
This is their first game and they've already made one of the most epic games known in history and now this!

It's a parody of Surfing Bird by The Trashmen from the 60's.
