Part 1: The Prequel Paradox – “Tribute” (2006) The most confusing and brilliant choice in the D’s marketing campaign was the release of the “Tribute” video. For the uninitiated, “Tribute” is a song written over a decade earlier about a time the D encountered a demon on a road and played "the greatest song in the world" to save their souls. The film, The Pick of Destiny , is a prequel showing how they met and got the pick that allowed them to play that song. tenacious d in the pick of destiny videos

It is the purest distillation of the D’s thesis statement: Sincerity over irony. They aren’t making fun of metal. They are making fun of the idea that anything could ever be cooler than metal. The video’s low-budget CGI (the lightning looks like a Windows 95 screensaver) only adds to its charm. It argues that skill and passion (and a little bit of magical metal) always defeats trendiness.

You forget one thing. When the game is finished, people are unlike to play it for a year. Most of them will likely finish story a couple of times, try arcade and that's it. You are only playing it for so long, because it's early access and we keep getting regular updates, which gives a feeling of repetitiveness due to how long the game is developed.

That is a fair point, but on the other hand, this game is intended to be a fair amount longer (hint: arcade mode is intended to be twice as long) and with a big game verity is essential

Well, Arcade mode offers more than just skills. There are town upgrades that affect gameplay and will keep you busy for a while. Also, current Arcade Mode has like 2/3 planned floors (it's supposed to have 24 IIRC).

If new skills would ever be added, I think it would be cool if they were secret skills. Nothing could be more rewarding than finding a scroll with completely new skill, maybe from some new elemental. Or an upgrade to existing skills, something like Super Skillpoint, that adds a new charge level increasing skill's power drastically. Of course if these were to be added, there should be choice on what new skill you want to unlock or what skill to upgrade, because scrolls with fixed skills force a particular gameplay.
