Watching the second Developer's Commentary video from our friends over at GameTrailers, it's hard to imagine that Brutal Legend - the upcoming heavy metal themed, ass-kicking, speaker-destroying action-adventure title from Double Fine Productions - was almost buried by its first company, Activision, as one of the many casualties enduring by the gaming world during that emotional and frightening saga now known as the Activision/Blizzard merger of 2007.

The fact that the game still exists, and in what looks like a comedically pristine form, no less, is a testament that there are Gods of Rock in this world ...and Jack Black is their prophet.

Hit up the video below. It's 22 minutes long, so grab a coke or something. It's worth it. ...the video, not the coke. Maybe both.

...*cough*

Enjoy.
