Netflix have released the first trailer (opens in new tab) for their show based on The Witcher books and already an enterprising nerdcore MC has put his Geralt-themed verses over the top of it. English rapper Dan Bull combines his track The Bestiary with the footage of Henry Cavill looking grim, rapping through a list of Geralt's monstrous foes like it's time for the Pokemon rap, only with alghouls instead of articuno.

Dan Bull is also responsible for a Borderlands 2 track (opens in new tab) that gave us the phrase "Vault Hunter S. Thompson". Which is pretty good, although he's no Mega Ran (opens in new tab).

As for Bull's Witcher-themed rap, it sums up Geralt of Rivia with the memorable phrase, "Imagine Guybrush Threepwood meets Clint Eastwood."

Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
