Wait, what? Tracula?

Well that sparked some interesting mental images of a cheesy horror rhythm videogame.

@3 Have you met Vlad? He is NOT a vampire.

Really, Magicka is one of the most witty games out there. I rescued a village, and for my heroic actions the villagers gave me an M-60 machinegun (up until then it had been a fantasy game).

Naturally, I killed all the villagers with said M-60, and the game gave me an achievement for it.
