Do you have 22 minutes to spare? In that case, may I recommend viewing this fine gameplay video for BrütalLegend? Like the video from last week, it features commentary from Tim Schafer. And, deciding that he alone is insufficiently awesome (not true), he's invited a couple of his buddies at Double Fine.
This video has a few notable elements to it. First, you'll be shown how Eddie Riggs can acquire a squad and then give them instructions. Then there's some interesting interactions with the flora and fauna running around. Finally, we're taken into the center of the world to check out some of the upgrading you'll be doing throughout the game.
Oh, and there's Ozzy f--king Osbourne, too. Hit the jump to check out the video. PROTIP: You may want to grab a cup of coffee and a bagel first.

Why were the Deuce Upgrades blurred out? Were they trying not to give away too much information, or did they have really dirty names? That aside, this is still looking great, Shafer is really creative when it comes to games.
I'm avoiding watching these videos as I don't want any spoilers for the game, but god damnit, the fact that Schafer does commentary for them makes them very hard to avoid. =\
Oh boy, comparing this to a game as bad as Ocarina, are you trying to ruin the game for me? ;) This game looks to be absolutely amazing, the release can't come soon enough.
I can't believe how awesome Ozzy was in that clip. "Bunch of wankers!" This game looks amazing. Tim Shafer + heavy metal = maximum win. Bring on Rocktober.
I need to bookmark all these videos for when after the game comes out. I know I'm buying it. Why spoil it for myself! Schafer commentary must be appreciated at later date though.

Borderlands I'm specially interested in....
Pretty sure Borderlands doesn't launch until the end of November.
Awesome.
Actually, no shit, I had a peach for the first time in like months while watching this.
THere seems to be just so much to do with this game I can't take it!
