N'Zoth + south seas + pirates + caribbean island type theme. Would be more interesting than even more burning legion, at least!

That is not really something they should be asking you on your paperwork, sheesh. Do people really do that these days? Unless you are going to work for a Catholic hospital/school or Hobby Lobby or Chik-Fil-A or some shit, that I can see. Sounds like something it might be alot more trouble...

Well, that would seem a logical progression from WoD I guess. Kind of. Striking at the Legion on their home turf or whatnot.

This got me to stop playing Neverwinter for a bit. The lure of boob physics was too strong to ignore. It is pretty to look at, and the levelling is different and very Final Fantasy-ish to me (one of them I recall had that crazy skill node tree, the one with Lightning maybe? I don't...

I had a smooth install of this, went very fast and easy, until I noticed that it did not recognize my Nvidia card at all. Wasn't even there in the device manager. Luckily, a quick bios update later brought it back and all was again right with the world; was definitely a sketchy moment there...

A season of Dunk and Egg, while it would be a hugely massive cockblock to most of the show's followers, I think would be awesome. Those are great stories. It would also have the side effect of buying GRRM time - while a miracle might happen and he might get Winds of Winter out before season...

That's a big cliff hanger. He MIGHT be with Lady Stoneheart if Brienne held to her word. Or, because Brienne is obviously in love with him, maybe she warned him and they hared off somewhere else. I am more interested in what those two are up to than anything else, to be honest. I'm a...

NEverwinter still out there, it was the game of the month a few months back. I am still playing, there is a new module coming Aug 11 that will introduce guild strongholds/guild PvP. Probably giant resource sinks similar to Star Trek Online's starbases for minimal gain. It isn't quite P2W...

I actually enjoyed Rose Madder. I think that came from his weird women power phase (with Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game, another one or two I can't think of) but it really wasn't that bad. It was no It or the Stand, mind, but enjoyable enough.

I've read a handful of the earlier ones; they were very good. It isn't Martin writing them for the most part (I think he actually has written a few Wild Cards short stories but for the most part he edits them), but I remember them being heavy with his distinctive style. Expect all kinds of...

Martin finished a book! Not A Blog - And Speaking of Wild Cards... The wrong one. The fat bastard.

Well, ignoring Alien 3 and Resurrection starts this off on the right foot already. And a possible Hudson survival??? That would be awesome.

It was. From the very limited descriptions of the battle, I always assumed it came down to Ned and Reed vs. Dayne. Ned: 'He would have killed me, but for Howland Reed'. And

Kill the boy and let the man be born!

I thought ME3 was awesome up until the end. Years later I am still bitter about that shit. The game itself though I enjoyed quite a bit and the multiplayer was fun as hell. I still blissfully chug the Bioware kool-aid and am going to enjoy the hell out of this too when it comes out.

What sucks is that Brienne watched that tower for weeks, and the candle goes off 30 seconds after she turns her back. Going to be a long wait till next year. George better shit out that damn book by Christmas.

Ser Robert Strong's first book appearance, I believe, was picking up Cersei after her nude stroll and carrying her into the Red Keep, so I imagine we will get a quick glimpse this weekend!

It is also essentially how Henry Tudor ended the War of the Roses, on which this is VERY loosely based. Invaded from across the sea after years of exile, picked up a small force of loyalists, and quickly defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field (with the help of some timely betrayals), taking the...

Show Doran is similar to Book Doran, but Show Doran is showing a bit more resolve and decisiveness - likely due to the condensed timelines and merging/changing of the various Dorne subplots. Book Doran, I got the sense that he comes across as a great schemer and plotter, but that he sucked...

I figured the Sand Snakes would essentially be the ones to replace Darkstar as the ones who fuck Myrcella up. I agree though, I don't see her getting killed until she ends up however briefly on the throne.

I've always thought warging was how the Targs really controlled the dragons; it is plain that they can't be domesticated normally, moreso in the books than the series but still pretty apparent in the series too. As they get older, they aren't like lapdogs. Then you have the magic horns there...

And she definitely has been growing in power due to the return of the dragons - though it is also implied in the books that she doesn't understand why, if I recall correctly.

DAvos put Gendry on a boat, essentially got him away from Stannis. That was the last sight of him.

Wun Wun was guarding Val, and Ser Patrek went to claim her after Selyse offers her to him in marraige. Wun Wun gets pissed and tears Ser PAtrek apart, Jon had just finished reading the red letter and runs out to the commotion, and then the knives come out.

It is left kind of ambiguous. You have Stannis bogged down in the snow a few miles from Winterfell; Theon shows up after his escape and talks to him and his sister. Jon Snow learns of the Karstarks treachery and sends the banker to Stannis to tell him. Then the letter from Ransay shows up...

I think part of what it did was shown in the preview for next week -

Well they had Barristan for a long time; you would think, being a man of war, at some point he would have been checking on the Unsullied and participating in their routine training. I think of them like Spartans (and not 300-style superman Spartans). In formation they are unstoppable, but...

You would think that *someone* would have trained the Unsullied to drop those goddamn spears and pull out swords when not in formation, especially after the debacle earlier. Good grief. I don't think Davos makes it back to Stannis' army; I think this is where he will get sidetracked into...

My thought about Ramsay going special forces was that it opened the door for Sansa and possibly Theon to get up to some fuckery in Winterfell without him breathing down their necks. Or he takes Theon with him, Theon gets captured by Stannis and you end up with a similar scene to where they...

Just be sure to have a good ASVAB - both those services are especially picky these days. If you are below 50 on the test, you are going to have a hard time getting in either of those; the CG won't even talk to you.

This is most certainly not going to be what is best in life. But it is going to be up there. Extra points if they cast Jason Momoa as Conn.

I see what you did there. They have made Brienne into a damn near superhuman; she would be one. Jorah Mormont as well; though in the show he is much smaller than described in the books, in the books he is described as huge and hairy and talked about as one of the pre-eminent fighters alive...

If I recall in the books Margaery manages to get out until her trial somehow - the Tyrells buy her out or something? I forget the circumstances, though she was accused of much worse in the books than she is here. I think it is better for all if Natalie Dormer is out running around and...

I did, somewhere along the line I took out a drowner I couldn't get to come ashore with the xbow. Normally it does like 10 damage on them, underwater it was a one shot kill. It was the first time ever I think that I learned something worth learning from a loading screen tip!

I am sure there are tons of people in the NFL offices who are just loving Deflategate because it has kept people talking about football long through the non-football season. Why did the investigation take so long? Well, release the report in the quiet time after the draft and before the start...

Kind of loving, heh. He totally Stannis'ed and didn't even hug that little girl back except grudgingly after a few seconds, even after describing the huge lengths he took to save her life. To Stannis, that had more to do with his duty as a father than with love, and so he carried it out to...

It will be very interesting to see how Good King Roger handles this. It is one thing to spank down actual criminals, and another matter entirely to spank down one of the most popular and recognizable names in American sport for MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT being involved in something that seems to me...

That was the first thing I thought as well, take out your goddamn short swords!!! It is why you are carrying the goddamn things! Goddamn Grey Worm needs to get fired for failing to instill that shit in training, should be automatic. Assuming he survives his various wounds.

That would be awesome. Fucking Eomer + Slave I = win.

Crap like this is why I've trusted Abrams to do the right thing with this all along. The man is a nerd's nerd.
