You know who you are.

What's cooler than a mobile trench? That's right, a space mobile trench. Double Fine's awesome third person mech shooter/tower defense game, Iron Bridgade, (originally Trenched) is heading to the cosmos in an upcoming batch of DLC. The new content has yet to be priced or dated, but we do have a name and some swanky new pics. Can we get a little drum role? No? Fine. Be that way.

Today we bring you the final two developer diaries which will focus on RPG mechanics and game modes. Trendy Entertainment packed a heck of a lot of game into a $15 dollar package.
