Something is wrong. This is the only episode of Unskippable that hasn't made me laugh atleast once.........

My main grudge with this game when I first saw the cover art the fact that the main character did not have a massive beard nor cool messy and/or long braided hair and yet,the game was called "Viking"
"VIKING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now after seeing the intro,the guy gets chosen by Freya godess of love and sexuality among other stuff,no Thor,Odin,Balder or any other fighting/war inclined deity.

It's like getting into the UFC being backed by Discovery kids and having decals of Barney in your shorts...

then I realized the game was intended to be that way, and, well, it's just hard to take a game seriously when the narrator is trying to sound all "epic"
No no, that's just how BRIAN BLESSED talks.
And it is awesome.

I bite mine thumb at ye, sirs.
I KNOW. I'm not even done watching yet. I've paused it at that comment to check here if anyone else spotted that atrocity!

Poor show, gents

Just like to point out the narrator isn't trying to be Ian Mackellin, he's Brian Blessed a true Brit who just happens to sound like that.

What the Hel (keeping with the theme) guys! How could you not recognise Brian Blessed! He's a legend in his own right, the loudest man on the planet who climbs Everest for fun!

That Prince of Persia reference about the fertile ground is arguably the best thing I have ever heard on this series...just thought I'd mention that.

"No no, it's Hel with one L. H E single hockey stick." I haven't heard that expression in years. Well, the more well-known "double hockey stick" one, but still.

Nice work with what you had, considering half of this opening wasn't really all that animated. I wonder if they really did run out of money for it or something.

Some funny stuff here. I particularly liked the (new) Prince of Persia reference, the "profound sense of indifference" and the "line? Line? Etc." bit at the end.

I originally thought that Patrick Stewart was narrating this. Then about midway through I thought it was Ian McKellan. Then I finally guessed it was BRIAN FUCKMOTHERING BLESSED and I facepalmed.

Shows how well I can pick out a famous British voice. =p

BRIAN BLESSED!!
There is no text LARGE ENOUGH or BOLD ENOUGH to properly convey the LOUDNESS with which BRIAN BLESSED'S NAME MUST BE SPOKEN!!!

You guys sound different. Did you get new hardware?
I had to check my sounds settings to see if any effects were enabled because they did sound different

Sounds like they changed their setup

Indeed! How can they not recognise the awesome voice of Brian Blessed!

I liked the reference to "I'm on a boat", but it would've been better if you had actually sung.
"Step 1: Take off your pants"
"Why is that always step 1?"
