Unskippable: Viking

Anyway I really enjoyed this game, one of the few that had decent large scale battles. Think Dynasty Warriors but better, for one up to four enemies alone could kill you so it was more realistic! These graphic novel cut scenes are good enough but giving the subject matter (large scale Norse mythology battles) there could have been some truly epic cinematics on display!

"So what your saying is before this, all vikings were peaceful and not remotely war like?" Good point haha!

Never played the game, and after viewing this...I don't intend to either!

Anyway, great video, loved the ending "so my options are A:to become your champion, defend my homeland, and the world, or B: Die.."

Another great show (I asked a friend and he confirmed that there are many scandinavian elephants, mostly in the northern territories.) Is it a tradition for escapist all shows to have their first post blocked?

P.S. Brian Blessed does appear to do a fair few voiceovers nowerdays, doesn't he?

Missed a perfect chance to say "War...war never changes"

Otherwise, nice as usual.

Yes. And the reason for that is that we at the same time also created mead. There's a connection.

This series never fails to put a smile on my face, thanks again.

Too many cream puffs at the pre-battle feast... xD

Note that I actually liked this game (until the ending ruined it for me), but the cutscenes were just... bad. Good voice-over, though.

Indeed.

Excellent work as usual, but

Paul:
He's impersonating Sir Ian McKellan

How very dare you! That is Brian Blessed, he of the booming tones, king of the Hawkmen, inspector of cannons and of course, ardent rambler. For shame...

What. The. Hell?
It was okay I guess.
Oh, boy.
I guess it's because I've never heard of this game until now.
(waits for next week)

The Rare Norwegian Elephant, never heard of it. TO GOOGLE!

The trick to finding it is to look for it in Ireland, but since nobody knows this, the Norwegian elephant remains elusive.

Awesome episode, gus. Nice to see a game that isn't that famous.

Can I assume you have a stop watch that can stop time?

I might have to check it out then, since I am a fan of Koei's overly repetitive flogging of the franchise.

And this was funny, not hilarious but I'm tired so perhaps the flaw is myself rather than the video.
