Get some WoW, Half-Life, and Day of the Tentacle in your Magicka

21 September 2011

It’s probably true that the overwhelming majority of premium character skin packs are an outrageous waste of cash and personal integrity, but oh no, not these*.

Arrowhead Game Studios has launched a “Gamer Bundle” set for Magicka, featuring characters from World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, and – squee! – Day of the Tentacle.

I don’t play Magicka, but if I did, I’d play as Purple Tentacle. I mean, if you’re going to take over the world, do it in style.

The product blurbs are awesome too:

The Zombie Robe is a resilient one. This number has a freaky, yet oddly appealing, parasite attached to it’s head. For some reason it turns the wearer into some type of shambling, incomprehensible, crow bar wielding monster. But that’s okay because, while a bit slower, the wearer can now take a punch or two thousand.

Wizards have been known to go through great lengths in order to cosplay as their favorite game characters. The Tentacle Robe, and it’s accompanying Ray-Gun, are great for conventions as well as general forest wear. While some people might point and laugh at this wizard, others would just love to have their photo taken next to him (or her.)

Epic Robe is epic claims this wizard. While he may have lost his mount he still has all his other epic gear. The epic amount of hours and sodas he consumed to earn it is no match for the even more epic-y-ness of the sword and armor.

The pack is available on Steam for $2.

*Or the neon pink weapon skins I bought for Gears of War 3.
