Hothead reveals sequel's backstory in new trailer and website

Hothead Games has served up a sizzling new trailer and website for its forthcoming Deathspank sequel The Baconing, revealing the mouthwatering circumstances behind the thonged hero's latest quest to stoke the greasy, salty and succulent flames of justice.

Crap, I knew I should have had breakfast before writing this...

As detailed on the hot-off-the-grillwebsite, The Baconing (no Deathspank prefix, apparently) begins with Deathspank trying on all six of the previous games' thongs of justice out of sheer boredom, thus summoning the evil AntiSpank who can only be thwarted by uncovering the secrets buried within the Fires of Bacon.
