Alpha Protocol devs hate art, like donkey punching

Video: Check out the latest Alpha Protocal dev diary for more spy-based action and hot chicks with guns.

Alpha Protocol's launch is just around the corner in May, and to whet your spy appetite, here's the latest developer diary from Obsidian Entertainment.

You get to see a lot of new action, some new characters and old friends from previous trailers, and discover some of the foibles of the devs themselves. One, apparently, has always wanted to shoot up a museum; as a whole, the team also seems to think they've redefined story in RPGs; finally, there's one guy who may not know that a 'donkey punch' is in fact a sexual act.

Anyway... the game's still looking good.

But really... Does Obsidian really want to be saying that they've anally penetrated the RPG genre and then punched it in the back of the head? I don't think they really want to be saying that.

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Game is boring me from that clip though. I never like this sort of thing though.

Hawkeye Apr 12, 2010 9:48 AM	Also, osama, you're a jerk.
