[@Veon1791]

I can't imagine Johan playing videgames; can you imagine when he reads "Game over" what can happen in that room?

[@ertus306]

He takes his Thor Hammer and smashes the consol and Twilight of the thunder god starts playing

[@kickyour99]

[@raizencore]

Johan may looks like a scary dude but he's so fucking cool! \M/ Such an epic guy!

[@Punisherfan123]

@Leslie Weber Of course they do, that's where they store their air for grunts, growls, and such.

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

Johan is so awesome! He's my fucking hero. Somehow I can just picture him sitting there drinking some booze playing God of War or Skyrim or some shit. I honestly wish I was his son.

[@DistortedFaiths]

Interesting to hear musicians talk about this, but I'm sure using skills and being productive applies for everyone. Not just Amon Amarth.

[@JakeLL]

Damn I want a beard like that, only longer if possible

[@SgtGonji]

@fuccons A big viking one.

[@SelflessResurrection]

notice when Hegg said "Obviously i'm not as good as Olavi" Olavi: .....(thinking) i can't blame you there xD *looks down to appear humble*

[@drummerinthepark9641]

Are you carpenting his house? Dammit! Olavi is like "are you mad?" That's really funny.

[@thelordofdarkcheese]
