    So, this popped up on youtube:  

    " The wizards of Arrowhead Studios have whipped up something special for all the Magicka fans out there, today revealing the first expansion for the definitive "blow-up-your-friend" simulator that has taken the fantasy world by meteor storm. Magicka: Vietnam (yes, you read that right) will soon be available on all major digital distribution channels.

    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." 
      
    So it seems they're continuing with the parody thing. 

    Dunka dunka on, motherfuckers!

    The entire main game is a parody after reference after parody.
    This seems right in their ballpark.

    This is pretty funny. Next they should have Magicka: Undead Nightmare then Magicka: Minerva's Den.

    Seeing the batshitcrazy things they're doing with Magicka persuaded me to buy it. I played the demo and thought it was cool, but some of the spell mixing stuff seemed a bit complex for my tastes. But I'm happy to give my money to them just so they can continue doing insane stuff like that. I'm sure I'll get used to the spell stuff, anyway.

    Before someone lambasting the game for the portrayal of Vietcong by the gremlin or whatever they are.

    It will be it's own game, but only Charlie Sheen can play it because it will melt your face and kill you.
