    So um... there's no SKALD in the game. Why do YOU think the game is called SKALD? Let us know down below.
    SKALD is also 15% off on GOG right now until 7/11. That's like... 69 cents in 1980s dollars. WHAT A STEAL. If you wanna get the game and support our channel, please purchase it via our GOG affiliate link: adtr.co/rmbl4v

    This was recommended to me by UA-cam and I'm impressed with your editing and voiceover quality. This video is so much better than most UA-cam game reviews. You guys are awesome and fun to listen to. This video must have taken you a long time to make! I hope you can keep up this quality. UA-cam seems to prefer crummier but more frequent video releases so this quality will be hard to maintain, but you guys are doing great!

    12:40 Goblins 3 was awesome. Funnily enough I'm a sculptor, and the comedy-fantasy style of the gobliiins games (alongside Terry Pratchett novels and their cover art) influenced a lot in shaping my own sculpting style.
    Great shoutout.

    I saw this game pop up recently and thought it looked interesting, but it's another game I probably wouldn't have time for. I'll just add it to the list of games to play when I'm living in a retirement home and need to pass the time until I die.

    I have to admit, that I personally do not find Skald's gameplay to be old-school at all. It's the presentation and structure that primarily have an old-school vibe, but the character building, combat and other gameplay facets are 100% new-school in my honest opinion. Don't get me wrong, I really like the game, but I think recommending this game to people looking for an old-school experience might end up with them being very disappointed.
