All joking aside, the game looks to be in good shape and seems to be distinctly more defined than in our last look at it. Seriously, what could be better than real landsharks? A giant robot ... maybe. And this video's got that too! Check out all the landsharkery just a couple inches up.

... Real life, fake landsharks. That is so awesome.
I'm indifferent to anything else in the video though (it doesn't seem to show too much of anything). The graphics seem nice though.
... Landsharks!

[Scene: A New York apartment. Someone knocks on the door.]
Woman: [not opening the door] Yes?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Arlsburgerhhh?
Woman: What?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Johannesburrrr?
Woman: Who is it?
Voice: [pause] Flowers.
Woman: Flowers for whom?
Voice: [long pause] Plumber, ma'am.
Woman: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?
Voice: [pause] Candygram.
Woman: Candygram, my foot. You get out of here before I call the police. You're the shark, and you know it.
Voice: Wait. I-I'm only a dolphin, ma'am.
Woman: A dolphin? Well...okay. [opens door]

I'M A LANDSHARK! I SWIM THROUGH WATER AS IF IT WERE LAND!
Shit did anybody play the game Baldies from like 12 years ago? It was basically an RTS/SimCity sorta deal where you controlled a town of what I can only assume were bald Canadian frontiersman and defended them against other woodsman and vicious animals, but more importantly, you could destroy the land they were standing on so they drowned, fall into an endless pit, you could stick them in bear traps, bombs, skunk traps, but most importantly you could release land sharks that tore through the dirt and got them

Immediately thought of this:
Landshark go
King of the road
Eat my dirt
Landshark go
King of the road lets go
Landshark will never let you go
When no ones left alive
Landshark will survive
Don't heed no rules or regulations
No fears or hesitations
Never goes by the book
That car knows how to cook
Landshark go
Landshark go
King of the road
Eat my dirt
Landshark go

Landshark will never let you go
When no ones left alive
Landshark will survive
Don't heed no rules or regulations
No fears or hesitations
Never goes by the book
That car knows how to cook
Landshark go

Oh that intersteller marines... I thought thjat was for the original Xbox...

I have a feeling a lot of this game is going to be tongue-in-cheek; a sort of commentary on the whole space marine phenomenon in other games, and movies even!

What's the difference between Interstellar Marines and Colonial Marines?
We're they fighting sharks with legs just now? Why not just strap some friggin' lasers on their heads. *pinkey to mouth*
