Mercenaries 2 - Computer Game Inspired by Techno Viking
Monday, September 1st, 2008
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames was just released yesterday and it looks pretty damn sick. But I could not help but notice how closely the main computer game character resembles the looks of biggest internet celebrity - Techno Viking. Remember, Techno Viking doesn’t dance to the music, the music dances to the Techno Viking.
That was a good choice on behalf of Pandemic Studios - creators of Mercenaries 2. There is nobody more intimidating looking than Techno Viking. You just can not substitute that German stare, fierce focused eyes and solid physics that could bend metal. If I were a chick, I’d want to marry Techno Viking and he’d be my mercenary.
Just in case you don’t know who I’m talking about (unless you just got out of cave where you spent 10 years of your life you must have heard of him) Techno Viking is an internet celebrity that can beat Chuck Norris with a fart. The timeless video of Techno Viking was recorded during The Fuckparade in Berlin. It starts with a shot of a blue haired chick dancing when out of the blue a random guy runs into her. At the same time mighty Techno Viking comes into view and owns the guy. The expression on techno Viking face is such that no one would want to mess with him. Ever.
Now the computer game Mercenaries 2 was released and surely enough, there he is - techno Viking himself getting the job done. Nobody touches the Techno Viking. he owns everybody’s ass.
Below is the Techno Viking YouTube video:
And a trailer video for Mercenaries 2 featuring what certainly resembles the biggest internet celebrity. Techno Viking for the win:
