Quick Shots: DeathSpank gets pimped out in The Baconing
DeathSpank needs all the help he can get when it comes to fighting injustice, but normal armaments just won’t cut it – our hero needs items just as odd and cheeky as he is. Luckily, he can get his hands on the pain inducing Mobile Nuker and the Drill of Justice while sporting his protective Technocrat armor. But DS is a stylish man as well, so why not get decked out in a gangster suit with pots of rainbows for shoulder pads? Why not, indeed.
Shots of the fancy man are posted below, and it looks like at some point he will be able shoot a boy out of a cannon attached to his hand. The dream, there. Game’s out this summer.
