Jon's first meeting with Mance was much better in the book, imo. Wonder why they didn't go into the fact that Mance had been to Winterfell before. On the other hand, they nailed the Tyrion + Tywin scene. Good ep overall, though it felt like not a whole lot happened.

Yeah that's pretty much what happens whenever I try watch Revolutions. I redid Matrix + Reloaded last week, but only made it 45 min or so into the 3rd. Still, I think the first one stands up pretty well by itself, and surprisingly, I found Animatrix (which I've never watched before) fairly...

Pretty sure he received a letter or something about it just before it happened and dropped a hint in a convo.

Reminds me of, was it Baldurs Gate 2, where the werewolves would explode into a pile of gore (the usual critical death effect) on tranformation. I agree that regular wolves don't really cut it as horror monsters anymore, but it was still pretty cool.

Yeah that kind of shit sticks to a noble family. If whoever comes out in top at the end of all this doesn't do away with the Freys on general principle (which seems pretty likely, either as revenge, or because they can't be trusted as allies), they're never going to live that down.

I thought everyone pretty much agreed that Catelyn was a whiney bitch and pretty much singularly responsible for 90% of the horrible things that happen to the Starks? Is there actually dissent on that score?

I remember people coming back from the conventions talking about how amazing WAR was :/ Deluded bastards.

Is it gonna be new or old WOD? Cause the new one sucks monkey balls.

I'd imagine the majority of them have no idea who they work for. They'd just know that if they sent information to certain places or people, several degrees removed from Varys himself, that they'd receive payment.

The best part is, playing SWTOR now to kill time, and I'm going through it with volume off 100% of the time (like, you know, every MMO), spacebar-ing my way through 90% of the cutscenes. A cinematic experience is all well and good, but what the fuck made them think that voicing every random...

I can't wait for this to come out, people are going to build up such absurdly high expectations that there's no possible way any game could meet them, the tears and the drama will be intense. And it'll be extra fun with the massive sense of entitlement they'll have because they spent $300 on the...

Good episode, was awesome to get some more Woodhouse.

Seriously? I mean I know she's not a curvy playboy model type, but she's not some kind of hambeast either. I'd hit it, given the opportunity.

That's retarded, world PvP doesn't need to take place in zones where people are actively pveing, see: every faction based pvp game ever.

Yeah but those Mesoamerican gods have a fatal weakness, cut off their supply of fresh human hearts and they're fucked.

Go for it as far as I'm concerned, don't think anyone here really cares.

Oh god, FTP collectable card game set in the Warcraft universe. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Lolled pretty hard at how half-hearted the audience reaction was. You could almost hear it in their clapping "I sat waiting in this dingy theatre for hours to hear this?"

Stream just started.

I couldn't find a thread for this, but if there is one and I missed it, feel free to delete this one. Anyway, Blizzard are announcing a new game in 50 minutes or so at PAX East, the rumored 'Project Blackstone.' It's apparently not an MMO, expansion or sequel, and word on the street is that...

No way brah, Luke would just throw him around with the force, Kirk can't do shit against that.

Nah, Zeus was a has been, sure he kicked the Titan's collective asses, but he's like a retired athlete, living off his past glory, sitting around getting drunk, bitching about his wife and fucking random fangirls. He's the Robert Baratheon of pagan deities.

The only similarity is the lightning thing, and even then Thor was associated more with the thunder than the lightning itself. Odin and Zeus would be more evenly matched, since they were both 'father' gods and rulers of their pantheons. Also, dude hung upside down for 9 days and nights to...

Odin v. Zeus would be a better matchup.

I always figured Cheryl works because she's not nothing better to do, without the job she's just sitting around in her mansion sniffing glue all day. Maybe it was a condition of her release from being institutionalized? ISIS gives her structure (a good thing considering how nuts she is)...

I liked Moriarty personally, once I got used to the interpretation.

Yeah the assistant KGB dude is one of my favorite characters.

But would you want to change your name? Be accepted into her family? I think that's the way they look at it.

Oh man seriously, I was so looking forward to Joffrey dyingGuess they gotta save some cool shit for S4.

All the symbolism and allegory and deeper meaning in the world is pointless if the movie containing it isn't entertaining enough to engage the viewer. Without being grounded in a solid plot and interesting characters to keep people watching, it's just expensive intellectual masturbation. This is...

Yeah that gave me a massive nerd-boner, can't fucking wait for this new season to start. Are we getting the red wedding this season? Or is that being saved for the next?

Yeah I suppose that's a fair point.

So you're saying there wasn't a substantial ramp up in the absurd craziness in S3?

Maybe not, but it was much better before it went off into batshitcrazy-ville territory in season 3.

Wasn't the original sherlock holmes a cokehead? And the Cumberbath version has his nicotine habit. I thought the addiction was always a fairly central aspect of the character.

But, Lens flare!

Episode sucked, heavy handed and not even remotely funny, the whole Chang arc just keeps getting more and more absurd.

None of them are from the cough syrup alone though. One combined it with alcohol, one had sleep apnea and one had a heart attack which may or may not have been influenced by using the drug. Anyway I guess it can't have helped, and I don't know enough about promethazine to say whether it could...

Yeah it was an awesome ep, best of the season so far by a wide margin.

Just thinking about it now, but doesn't the idea that Rhaegar just decided to up and run with Lyanna because he wanted to hit that seems a little out of character? I mean this is the same dude who decided to live his whole life around being a knight because he read in some prophecy that he was...

At least you guys still get trailers. We haven't had 10 - 15 minutes of back to back trailers here in years, it's usually 20 minutes of ads with 2 or 3 trailers thrown in randomly between them to try and keep you watching. It sucks because I used to enjoy watching the trailers, but at least I...
