September 21st?  Really?  I think they would have been much better off waiting a half year or so.  I liked it, but I'm not eager to dive back into Deathspank right now, especially with the holiday game releases starting to hit in earnest.

can't wait for the big live live show, live...  But Jeff's new mustache makes it look like he's always joking or something, I'm not sure exactly, but I have a hard time taking him seriously when I see him with the moustache.....

You can keep saying thongs as many times as you want. It's still not funny.

Seems like I am one of the few who look forward to playing this. Liked the first game and sure I will enjoy this one just as much. Can agree on the fact that it would have been even nicer if they had finished the Penny Arcade series.

Actually Ron Gilbert left Hothead just before the first Deathspank launched.  Regardless I did enjoy Deathspank for what it was and I will enjoy the next installment just as much.  It's certainly not for everybody and humor is always according to personal tastes so that's to be expected.  I just don't understand why people put this game on such a pedestal when it deserves to be rated on it's own merits.  This game is not Monkey Island and shouldn't be judged by your noscon (nostcon?).

This is so dumb, why would you waste time making a second one at the same time as the first so you could put it out 3 months later instead of using all that time, energy, and resources to make a better game. It really makes no sense at all.

@Wandrecanada: Ron Gilbert did work on the game till its completion however. Also i personally loved the games humor. I felt the name Deathspank was funny in the same way Guybrush Threepwood since both were names you wouldn't expect for the character.

Anyone have a feeling this is going to go like Penny Arcade Adventures? First one selling a lot then 2nd selling half or 1/4 that of the original <_< ? I might be quick to judge considering Penny Arcade mostly sold less due to the huge gap of time in between episodes.

Never played the first one, and I was quite interested in it though, but something about the gameplay in this trailer is really off-putting.

I think it is just the sense that they are forcing it too much - humour can be subtle as well as a sledgehammer. They did sell this off the Ron Gilbert name so it is a valid criticism.  
  
If the only way to play is with the sound off, you are left with just a run of the mill game.

I found it funny! DeathSpank didn't show off any "new" huomour, and Eat Led: The Return of Matt Hazzard did the whole introspective look on games better than DeathSpank did - but I still found DeathSpank funny. And I am really looking forward to this title.

Art direction is beautiful, 
Its  a shame the story is rather lackluster  
 
It was like watching a childs cartoon, Perhaps if that is their target audience fair shout but this does nothing for me.

It's a real shame that Deathspank wasn't even remotely funny, it had potential. 
I guess I'll stick to Torchlight for my loot-grind Action-RPG gaming.

Wow, humor really does bring out the bitchers and whiners. So you don't enjoy the humor? Fine, but that's just down to taste. The game's still well made and fun to play.

That makes no sense.
 
if you hated the trailer, you wouldn't be looking forward to the game.
 
Atleast you fit cock-sucking in your post, that's fitting.

...thongs? really? is that word supposed to be funny? ugh, and so ends the legacy of deathspank, a mediocre comedy game that thought it was a lot funnier than it really is.
