It probably is because the only thing people say about him is that he went dungeon crawling in Myth Drannor and found some gear. "Euron is so cool! He has a magic horn and a plate armor +3!' :rolleyes:

As someone who did not read the books (I did read the spin-off novellas though), it is important to note that book Euron sounds completely idiotic. Like, 'over the top Dungeon & Dragons character in a campaign run by a 13 year old' idiotic. Not that the poor man's Jack Sparrow is much better...

I don't understand why people read what happened as Danny becoming mad. The fact that she burns Kings Landing after saying months earlier that she does not want to burn Kings Landing does not make her mad. I would go as far as saying she did not change her mind on the subject: she did not want...

Quite a lot when the worried person basically said the day before that he wants to see the not eating person dead.

Prophecies in Game of Thrones

Varys' importance in the story might have been hurt by the writer running out of book material, but the general direction of the story also hurt Varys. A spy network in the 7 Kingdoms and intimate knowledge of politics are not great assets when fighting undeads and when the complexity of the...

Doesn't Khaleesi just mean queen or something? I guess we only know of one Khaleesi while we know of many Kings, Queens, Dukes, Earls, etc so some of them being war criminals does not prevent their title to be used as first name.

I think it's just a case of a little girl looking like another little girl. The one at king's landing was the one with the toy horse and we followed her and her mother a fair bit through the episode.

Btw my Nostradabullshit with big odds:

Well... the Iron Islands are ruled by a woman and so is the North. Also the Night King got killed by a woman... so you get a pretty broad spectrum of characters for both genders.

@Lithose Somehow I was unable to account for the episode that had not aired! I the light of this latest episode I would say Dragons only suck when you are supposed to root for them.

@Khane Pause for effect! Both by the writers for us, and for Dany writting her own legend... or simply she made her mind when the bells rang.

In case you missed it, the reason is that it was, in her eyes, her only way to maybe get to rule the 7 Kingdoms. A little fear would not have been good enough. That plan will surely backfire though. Hah!

I think it's a bat of a battle-cricket. Another game where you win or you die.

I have not followed the NBA at all this season. Was that GSW vs HR serie basically an early final?

Damon Lindelof? Why? Why?

Since the first time Tormund saw Brienne, he wanted to bed her. On a side note, it is overplayed for laughs, which contributes to turn Tormund into a pure comic relief character. It's a bit dumb and lame, even if the comedy is often effective. Anyway, what matters here for our discussion is...

People joke about autism in this thread, but one of the component of autism is the difficulty to understand social cues. When Jaime cockblocking Tormund is read as a "big brother/little sister or mentor/mentee scenario", you know you have a problem.

Do you remember these scenes during which the Night King discussed his plan and motivations with his lieutenants? Me neither. The undead menace in the story is meant to be a monolithic, inscrutable force. The psychology, scheming, alliances and treasons are for the humans, so the existential...

You guys need to differentiate between not liking that they are telling poorly the story they want to tell and not liking the story they want to tell. Dragons being actually a bit shit and Jon being a reluctant leader is the story.

Did Jon ever pet his direwolf? Does one even pet direwolves? They are not really pets, are they?

I saw that film and found it pretty lame. The plot is dumb and the dialogues are excruciatingly bad. Now, Claire Denis' cinema often rubs shoulders with contemporary art and modern dance, which leads to things like Binoche's long performance in the orgasmatron (it was funnier in Sleeper...

The show is certainly not without flaws, but I wonder what show the people are watching when I read some of the comments. - Brienne and Jamie have been attracted to each other for ages. Did you forget Jamie at his most vulnerable crying in Brienne's arms? Jamie wishes he could be with Brienne...

Since they established the Night King as load bearing, dragons (living and undead), dragonglass, numbers, etc are all irrelevant. As a result, all outcomes are still on the table. It will be a bit underwhelming though if some dumb trick kills the Night King and instantly wins the fight against...

The consensus is PSP I believe.

To be fair, John Gavin is one of the 8 people credited for graphics/artwork in Betrayal at Krondor, so his contribution to the game is, as far as we can tell, not huge. He is one of the main force behind the Syphon Filter serie though, along with Days Gone's co-director Jeff Ross (I have not...

Is the code of the game still layers upon layers of inscrutable spaghetti code written by people who long departed the company, resulting in veteran players knowing the game's mechanisms better than the devs? It was the case in 2004, so I can't imagine how it is in 2019!

Amusingly, Christophe Gans wrote and directed both Silent Hill and Brotherhood of the Wolf.

There is much to be said about french films trying to venture in genres that are perceived as being holywoodians (like here, a military thriller), about how the french critics tend to view such attempts and about the average quality of such attempts.... so yeah, I did not muster the courage to...

We beat Shenmue 2 with my friend a few weeks back, so remind me to post some thoughts about that, but right now I wanted to bump this thread with a smile on my face because today is a nice day! I have a cartridge of a Super Famicom RPG called Tengai Makyou Zero aka Far East of Eden Zero (a...

I guess mileage may vary but some games in the past had poor success that was blamed on this type of price range. The perennial example is the first american release of Yakuza which had a similar kind of "budget" price point. The problem, apparently, is that it makes people think the game is a...

I was not sure if I should post in the new similar thread or bump the OG indie thread... I went for the bump. I have been playing the puzzle game Baba Is You. It's in a the sokoban familly of games I guess (top view, grid based movement, you often push things around), but it has a delicious...

I don't have clear memories of the game, but I kinda remember a mission like that that took several attempts. My gut feeling is that'its one of these mission where you need to have an army composition designed specifically for the task at hand (which can be an issue depending of how you managed...

I don't care about baseball and even less about sport games, but I always wanted to try one of these version of The Show just for it's supposed absurd level of visual fidelity and attention to details. I assume the latest entry will up the ante even more?

The only interesting thing I read about that whole announcement thing is the state share idea. I feel there must be some cool things to do around that. EDIT: Note that it's an idea that can work in a way or another on platforms other than Stadia.

It's a pretty ok movie with several good scenes and Elizabeth Debicki can do no wrong in my book, but as a heist movie it's pretty lame and as a portrait of Chicago where crime and politics are tightly woven, I preferred something like the lone season of The Chicago Code.

Man I am trying to figure out which was the first R rated movie I saw in theater, but it's so tough. I am 100% sure I saw Alien 3 (1992) in theater. 100% sure I have not seen Aliens (1986) in theater. I am almost certain I saw Total Recall (1990) in theater, but again I am also pretty sure one...

The two main things I remember about this movie are that the whole last chapter is some serious new age doodoo and that Rachel Weisz in the part of the dying wife was great.

Argue? All your permises are wrong. From Rotten Tomatoes: - Wonder Woman: critics' average rating 7.64/10 (the ridiculous praise), audience's average rating 8.6/10 (the "objective" score). - Black Panther: critics' average rating 8.26/10 (the ridiculous praise), audience's average rating...

Hot take: the weirding modules are more interesting and sound (pun!) a lot less stupid than the weirding way.
