Is it just me, or is Shirley's voice becoming more and more annoying every episode? She used to just use that stupid whiny voice a few times an episode, now it's every, fucking, line of hers.

Pretty sure he wasn't. There were rumors that he had a tail, because everyone was saying he'd been born a monster etc. but then when Cersei went to saw him she was disappointed because he was just a normal baby with odd proportions.

I'm not sure, I tried self hyposis once, and it wasn't the bullshit you see on TV, but it definitely had an effect on me.

Yeah, but usually only on later playthroughs, when I want to experience specific sets of content or whatever without going through the whole thing from scratch. I do it a lot in RTS's when I want to see the campaign storyline, but don't want to grind through the missions.

Come on, you're gonna post that but not tell us how it's done?

I don't think doctors are really any dumber than other people, but the problem is that they're not any smarter either. We're imbued as kids with the idea that doctors are all incredibly smart and wise, that they're all experts who know exactly what they're doing, etc. So we get pissed off that...

But if you didn't wanna be a godfather then, why has that changed because you know the kid is coming 'now' Anyway you're already the uncle, I always thought godparents were supposed to be from outside the family.

Yeah I was curious about the Varys thing too.

Honestly, the pie thing went over my head entirely when I read it for the first time. I was pretty sick with a flu or some BS at the time (and, tbh, a little bored with the book) so I probably wasn't paying as much attention as I should have.

I tried acupuncture once for my back, and it didn't do shit. But then again, I've been to plenty of doctors who's treatment didn't do shit either, so I'm not going to pass judgement. I just think, if it is legitimate, why can't they provide a better explanation than 'the needle un-clogs your mana'?

That's pretty the secret she's revealing to him. As for how she knows, bitch is magic.

People who should know better, but still get all excited and worked up for the next big MMO release. And then when the game comes out, you have to listen to their moping and whining for months.

I don't mind Bran as a character once he stops whining about not becoming a knight, but I always skip his chapters because they're so unbelievably boring. They spend almost 3 fucking books just wandering the countryside. Jon I hated in the books, but he's ok in the show. Arya is the boss. Ned...

Yeah, Tywin had a larger effect politically, in universe (though it's arguable), but in terms of story telling experience, the red wedding was a much bigger deal.

Really? The red wedding had a far bigger impact than Tywin for me. Tywin is a badass, but he's not as integral to the reading experience as Rob/Catelyn's storyline, which is abrubtly cut off/violently altered. It loses it's impact after a while, but the first time I read through the series, red...

Ok that sounds right about the party, I'm not certain, haven't watched the show back to back in years, but there was definitely a time when he got fucked up on juice.

Wasn't the grape juice what buster was drinking when he got drunk off the 'sugar high' or whatever at the party? So the 'get hooked' thing works on 2 levels.

It's made doubly weird when you consider his hatred for magic. Varys seems to be working towards a Targaryen return, but would he keep on with that end goal when he realizes that the dragons are bringing magic back into the world? Anyway, I don't buy that someone as intelligent and cynical...

I'm not the biggest fan of ADWD either, in fact I found it a bit of a drag to read, but let's be fair, you could summarize any of the plotlines from any of the books in that way.

I actually like TV Shae, she has better chemistry with Tyrion and she's actually interesting enough to invest in emotionally. In the books she was so stupid and annoying it was impossible to see what a man like Tyrion would want with her, and it made the way he acted about her frustrating...

Yeah it really was, those forests Bran was running around gave me a nature-boner.

Yeah I really liked Margaery and Joffrey, even though it seems like it's leading up to a rather different relationship between the two compared to what little we saw of it in the books. When reading, I got the impression they were just actually worried about Joffrey being a little shit and how...

Pity, always enjoyed reading his reviews. RIP.

I can see where you're coming from, but 90% of the objectives could just be filled by killing mobs in the vicinity instead, so it wasn't too bad overall. No worse than collecting 10 goblin testicles ad nauseum.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but just to prove the point about Littlefinger: 'Pimp' http://www.memecenter.com/fun/123245...watch-with-you Though I gotta admit, 'The Wedding Planner' made me lol

That's the attitude I'm trying to maintain, but I have to admit, those screenshots on the kickstarter page definitely increased the blood flow to my penis.

It is a pretty fucked up origin story. Couldn't pay me to sleep under the same roof as the person who wrote that crap.

Episode was ok, at least they finally addressed the whole 'Britta'd' thing being way past it's used by date. Interested to see whether Abed's GF chick sticks around.

You serious?

Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical about putting any money towards anything until we've seen someone actually produce a game from kickstarter. Inevitably at least some of them are going to fail, and it's going to be amusing to watch what happens when people realize the $300 or whatever they blew hoping...

I haven't read ACOK in a while, but I thought that scene was taken almost word for word from the book. It sounded incredibly similar to how I remembered that discussion going down.

Yeah only 10 episodes is a bit of a copout, they could easily do 13, it's gotta be one of their biggest shows, if not the biggest. Even The Wire got 13 a season.

Yeah exactly. It's like someone who owns a chain of hotels, training the room service guys. Why the hell would he do that? He'd pay someone to manage it for him. Especially someone like Littlefingers, who devotes so much of his time to his political intrique and his job at court, and while this...

Actually the Lannisters had one way back when, but the guy who was using it took it over the sea to explore the ruins of Valyria and never came back, iirc. And agreed that the changes they made to Littlefinger kind of suck. Probably my biggest issue with the show so far, he's just not as cool...

The Margaery/Joffrey scenes were brilliant, it looks like they're going to explore that relationship a little more in the show, should be fun.

We can like and appreciate a show without being blind fanboys. If we just sat here drooling on about how amazing it is, the conversation wouldn't be very interesting. They're eunuchs, but they're also the most feared warriors on the continent, so that would merit them looking somewhat...

Yeah, the Unsullied remind me of the Dothraki, they're supposed to be these amazing warriors, but they don't look even remotely martial (except for Drogo of course). Is it that hard to find guys who are built, vaguely eastern looking and able to remember their lines? Dany's bloodriders look...

Catching up on the new eps, seriously, Regina went evil again? Just like that? What a copout.

I don't see anyone complaining about changes, so long as they make sense and improve the show. It's only the shitty changes people get upset about.
