Still watching the video now, just commenting on where angels go when they die: They respawn, that's why the war has been going on forever! Yes at MAJOR theological headache!

FINISH: Love the Warriors of Darkness reference at the beginning, and BTW I showed my friend all the UnSkips with Russel Crow, and then we saw Sherlock Holmes... Russel Crow was everywhere! Best one of the year, easily in my top 5! Keep them coming!

EDIT: If the whole Earth will be destroyed, WHERE ARE YOU RUNNING!? I've always noticed that about Apocalyptic movies.

I have to give it to Darksiders; those were some awesome looking cinematics. Great episode. Three (or possibly one I missed) in jokes in an episode? Hi-larious.

More Unskippable goodness.

It kinda gets hard to put in positive and original comments about these after a while.

Don't get me wrong, I still love 'em. Its just getting hard to come up with new and different ways to express this love.
Nothing to see here.

This game looks like it is a bit of a clusterfuck of exposition and bulging characters.

Loved the callbacks, as per usual. Guess that which is familiar is comforting? I've noticed you guys have started including gameplay and/or post-gameplay cutscenes a lot more recently. It'd be interesting to see Unskippable do a Let's Play.

That said, is the game worth a pick up?

That would be brilliant!

On the topic of the video, It was nice to see the callbacks to the older videos, including, if I am not mistaken, the very first video.

Gotta love the inclusion of Russel. Makes me laugh every time he appears, which is surprisingly often. (I guess cutscene directors have a thing for dark-feathered birds?)

@Arius: Graham and Paul playing through a game making witty comments at the characters and situations? Yes please.

You know there was a fifth one? Sure, some people might remember Zeppo, but who remembers Gummo?

This was the greatest thing I have ever seen. So many in-jokes, but SO GOOD. It's my favorite so far, if only for the callbacks.

As usual, a great episode of Unskippable.

Though I'm forced to ask, is the game actually any good? I haven't heard much about it.

After watching it again, I think my favourite line is when Paul says "Aha! Fell for the old 'cut you in half with my sword trick!' Works every time!" I lol'd heartily.

Aaaaaah.... You reference The Truce, you win the prize. Dunno what the prize is in this instance, but you win. Also for naming the Kingdom of Man Butt-town; the world would have turned out so much better if, whenever a ruler or politician got too pompous or fascistic, someone could have just pointed out to them that, at the end of the day, they're still only the ruler of a small part of Butt-town. Those without senses of humour or proportion would quickly give up and leave the world to the rest of us.
