Bored at work? Looking for something to do? Ever wish you could be as cool as Johnny Drama's iconic sci-fi role, Tarvold the viking? Now you can! In promotion for the new season of Entourage (it premiered last night), HBO has launched an online game following the exploits of Tarvold and his quest to save his wife Anora from his arch-enemy Thorfinn Skull-Splitter.
Throughout Entourage's run, Drama has made numerous references to Viking Quest, his cult hit sci-fi series that ran for only one season. The show went on to become huge in France, and while attending Cannes, Drama met his current girlfriend Jacqueline.
This is actually a pretty cool promotion. The website boasts the availability of a DVD box set of the series (it's bogus) and there's all sorts of info about the show. As for the game, it's worth wasting a few minutes playing (there's only two levels), but don't expect anything mind-blowing. Think Golden Axe with only one player. Overall though, this certainly deserves a resounding "Victory!"
