The first's a balmy, if snobbish, country club where Vulcan fixes you some new golfing irons and Zeus hobbles about on a Zimmer frame built from lightning bolts the second's a dismal trailer trash affair where brutish scarlet-skinned devils rush around clad in orderlies' whites. Towards the end of the adventure, our foolish hero takes a trip through heaven and hell only to discover that they're drawn, with lovely comic clarity, as two competing retirement homes. In The Baconing, the latest instalment, he's burning the fabled Thongs of Virtue one by one in order to defeat a dangerous AntiSpank he accidentally brought to life. Mad Magazine's snarky strain of anarchy flows right through the DeathSpank games, in fact, whether the hero's collecting magical underpants or piecing together a dangerously hot Taco to placate a stubborn villager. Like DeathSpank, they spend a lot of time getting things wrong in the name of doing things right. Like DeathSpank, they have long, bendy legs and barrel bodies, and their faces are contorted with moronic concentration. The Spanish cartoonist has a real legacy at places like Mad Magazine, where he's helped to forge a rich bloodline of brave and idiotic heroes. OS: OS X version Leopard 10.5.8, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, or later.Although it's Ron Gilbert's adventure game legacy that you see in the dialogue trees and the fetch quests, and the tiniest, most primitive shard of Diablo's design shines through in the looting, I like to think that the secret influence on DeathSpank has always been Sergio Aragones.Sound: 100% DirectX compatible sound card and drivers.Graphics: ATI Radeon X1900 GT 256MB and the Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB PCI-E cards (Shader Model 2.0 and 24bit depth buffer support required).Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 (or equivalent) running at 1.7 GHz or greater.DeathSpank must travel to the Fires of Bacon in order to destroy five of the six Thongs of Virtue, kill the Anti-Spank, and bring peace to SpankTopia. An evil version of himself, the Anti-Spank, is created. Having recovered all of the Thongs of Virtue in his prior adventure, DeathSpank decides to try on all six of the Thongs at once with disastrous results. She can also heal DeathSpank by firing first aid shells, and her taunt is reflective of the Charlie's Angels pose. She can summon a disco ball onto a large group of enemies, which makes them dance before striking them with lightning. She is a 1970s-inspired police woman whose primary weapon is an over-sized pistol. On October 11, 2011, DLC was added in the form of an extra co-op character named Roesha. The Baconing is available for download on the Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Steam, and the Mac Appstore. While the combat remains almost entirely unchanged from the previous titles, this entry adds a new block mechanic that, when timed correctly, causes attacks to be reflected back at enemies for damage. Two player asymmetrical co-op can only be played locally. Tankko is a spider-human hybrid that can encase enemies in webs. Bob from Marketing is a hammerhead shark in a business suit that shoots laser-beams from his eyes. The two new characters are only used by the second player in co-op. The game features new levels, new enemies, and two new characters: Bob from Marketing and Tankko. The Baconing is the third entry in the DeathSpank series following the original game and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue.
