    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm not grasping at anything, I'm merely explaining how the theory could be possible.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The theory obviously assumes Robert knocked Lyanna up BEFORE Rhaegar kidnapped her.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    From the non-spoiler thread, made me laugh. I mean I guess in the TV series it isn't spelled out as clearly as in the books, but this is like one of the few theories that is absolutely impossible. Although I suppose Robert's Rebellion could have been shorter in the series, but Lyanna was...

    Supposed to be short downtime today, back up in half hour if it stays on schedule.

    Sansa can't become Lady Stoneheart, she has already been Lady Stonehead for the entire show.

    Because unlike all the other times genocide has happened in the past, this time nothing of value would be lost.

    Hearthstone

    It's called Crusher Shaman because the dude who made it is named Crusher. And no, it doesn't win easily vs Patron, although I can see it doing ok vs facehunter if you subbed in tazdingos and healbots for something. But the deck is way too greedy in this format.

    Do you also watch those various Ancient Aliens shows on the history channel? Cause I'm starting to think you might be my dad.

    too subtle. pretty damn funny now that you've angrily pointed out the missed joke though.

    Targaryen dragons have AoE taunt as a racial, Drogon just forgot to pop shield wall first.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except she's not even good at staying alive. She'd be dead at least a couple times if not for the direct intervention of other people. I mean christ, she's so dumb she genuinely thought she'd still be marrying Joffrey right up until the moment he had their engagement set aside. The only time...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    BECAUSE I HATE IT SO MUCH!!! I mean yeah I guess I'm slowly getting dragged back into it, so I'll probably catch back up some time during the offseason. And then Winds of Winter will come out, I'll read it despite swearing not to, and get all buttmad again.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If Theon ever actually admits it wasn't Bran and Rickon he killed, unless he already has.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If she actually does this ridiculous Darth Sansa turn next season, it will be the most disappointing thing I can imagine coming out of the show.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The implication in the books is that she augments her real powers with a considerable amount of theatrics to make her seem more than she is.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Here's something sort of interesting that I was about to comment on in the no spoiler thread, but then I thought maybe it would be considered spoilery? Have they ever addressed that whole half charlatan/half legit power thing Melisandre has in books on the show? Cause there is that theory...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Is this actually confirmed in the text, or is it just speculation based on the fact that she has tacitly admitted being half a charlatan to the reader? Because she was able to use the vagina monster twice in the books, it wasn't just Renly. Now it does suggest that if she had to summon a vagina...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Are you serious? I haven't even watched the episode, but it seems clear from the comments that HE WAS GOING TO FUCKING DIE. So yes, in fact, he's burning Shireen for King's Landing and all the rest of Westeros, not just Winterfell.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's still a Stark even if he's also a Targaryen, and the Lyanna/Rhaegar theory is the only theory I've seen where Ned isn't his father.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My guess is that they won't actually kill Jon in the show. Or maybe we'll get the same cliffhanger, and then it will be whether WoW or the next season comes out first.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Something like this is my guess, unless GRRM is planning to have Drogon eat Stannis right near the end.

    Nah, in the books Shireen and Selyse are chilling at Castle Black with Melisandre and Jon Snow.

    Is this the first time the show has spoiled the books?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's not that they followed the books, its that they said 'THIS IS HOW GEORGE IS DOING IT IN THE BOOKS DONT YELL AT US'. Which is absolutely spoiling the fuck out of Winds of Winter. *edit* Now I hope GRRM rewrites it in the book so Stannis burns Jeyne Poole thinking she's actually Arya...

    XCOM 2

    It's possible to get an exalt attack which is generally considered easier than an alien attack, but yes, it's a full base defense every time it happens. Long War is serious business. SRS BSNS

    XCOM 2

    In Long War the base defense is no longer a scripted part of the central arc, and like the originals your base can be attacked multiple times.
  35. Gavinmad

    XCOM 2

    Only certain council missions and dlc missions. Base defense has timed drop-ins, which are potentially a lot more difficult.
  36. Gavinmad

    XCOM 2

    The flip side being that on higher difficulties, early DLC/council missions would be damn near impossible with timed or random drop ins, instead of scripted ones. At least Long War randomized the scripts a bit for some of them.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    How does having his brother killed make him a bad guy? If he didn't have Renly assassinated, he was going to have to go to war with him, on account of Renly trying to usurp his claim. Let's not forget that Stannis is the rightful heir to House Baratheon, Renly was not. He betrayed his brother...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Do they even have any reason to suspect Rickon is still alive in the show? If they assume Bran and Rickon are dead, then Sansa is the heir of House Stark, and conveniently, she's in Winterfell married to Ramsay.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yes, the novels are absolutely terrible by adult standards. I believe Weis and Hickman own Dragonlance now because WotC didn't want it anymore. Dragonlance Fifth Age did irrevocable damage to the popularity of the setting, and the pseudo-retcon of the Sixth Age wasn't enough to get interest back.

    XCOM 2

    It's possible to get rushed a bit at the very beginning of Friends in Low Places, but what you should be doing is hunkering down at the beginning for several turns to deal with the first wave of drop ins + any patrols. Only then do you start moving forward to trigger more drop ins.
