There's a bizarre cohesion to the environments in No More Heroes: everything seems to be violence-oriented, even when it completely shouldn't be. For example, the local burger joint is called Burger Suplex. Yes, even the place names are violent, and mostly wrestling-related: within the town of Santa Destroy, there's the aforementioned Burger Suplex, the Atomic Drop District, Body Slam Beach, and Destroy Stadium (which is not a command). It reminds us of the restaurant in Itchy and Scratchy Land.
The linked article has some new screenshots of No More Heroes, including a map of Santa Destroy, interspersed with some not-so-new ones. The game continues to straddle the line between high art and B-movie ridiculousness, and we continue to be entranced.

Am I the only one that thinks the B-movie characteristics are getting so over the top it's not funny? Like this whole game is a joke the creator wrote while he was high, and it's just not funny the morning after? I mean there's parody/satire, then there's this.

No More Heros is increasingly reminding me of Godhand.
Being that Godhand is the greatest game ever made, this is potentially a good thing.

That's just the thing, its "psuedo B-Movie," i think, similar to the whole concept of "Grindhouse." It's kinda corny, but in a way that really makes it good (like a milder version of "so bad its actually good" but that's how the director intended it)
Still have any information on that mysterious on-screen Tiger?
