Norse really were just all over the place, in every sense of the phrase

Sometimes you have just listen to some well... Written? Dialogue.

In that case I'm not sharing this for the creator of the short but the dialogue in that game scene.

It's hilarious.

Warning the creator in this Video usually screams at one point, people may find this endearing or annoying.
I can tolerate it in small doses but damn this dialogue is pure stupid/genius gold and the acting of the voice cast also. Reminds me to a swearing Monthy Python (it's beeped because America and the rest is flowery speak).

According to the comments the game is named NORSE: oath of blood. A top down, round based Combat, RPG with heavy viking theme.

Oh and if course this short is posted on YouTube.

In Norse mythology, when Odin and his brothers killed the giant Ymir to create the world, the resulting flood of blood drowned most of Ymir's Jotun brood. Only Bergelmir and his wife survived, clinging desperately to a huge log. They repopulated the Jotun species.

In Norse mythology, Loki scandalized the gods by fathering the monsters Fenris, Jormungandr, and Hel with the giantess Angroboda. One source said that Loki ate a witch's heart, and so gave birth to monsters himself. It's unclear if this is the same relationship.
