Yep. The show doesn't make it obvious that the Targaryens ruled Westeros for hundreds of years. Robert's Rebellion was a massive paradigm shift, and a Targaryen could very credibly claim ownership of the Iron Throne. Shit, they founded King's Landing. Eddard knew this and knew the only way he...

Re: Posting in the non-spoiler thread, if you're going to do it you better be on point about A: Not posting stuff that wasn't explained in the show and B: Not speculating on things based on what you know from the books or spoilers. You'll notice whenever I speculate on stuff there's it's on...

Aye. I'm pretty sure they explained this in the show, but Brandon Stark (Ned's brotha) and Rickard Stark (Ned's father) were killed by Aerys II Targaryen when they protested the kidnapping of Lyanna Stark.

Here's the timeline: Rhaegar Targaryen, Eldest son of the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen and heir to the throne and all around badass knight dude. Tywin Lannister wanted his daughter, Cersei Lannister to marry Rhaegar. Rhaegar insulted the Lannisters by declining and said they were beneath...

Generally magic strings/numbers are bad, but sometimes programmers will learn that generality and contort it into, "Generall strings/numbers are bad" or "don't ever have numbers or strings in your code.". Bad programmers get OCD for stupid shit and then you end up with Keyboard.DOT for an IP...

Yep, and it's dumb because Keyboard.DOT is more prone to error than '.'.

I'm done with this thread until after next week. God speed.

Nothing wrong with that but yeah, I'm not charm kiting in a singleplayer game based around sword play.

Why would you laugh at the genocide of the UK?

I dont think he will get rezzed either.

Yep. They have a short sword but they never use it. Or their dagger.

Save the shitposting for next week.

Things Stannis needs: 1. The writers to use one of a large number of plausible scenarios that result in his victory, not limited to: A. Sansa rallying the North and stage a coup d'etat B. Theon seeing the approaching army and reeking the shit out of the Boltons. C. Jon or every true...

Is the value a '.' or in other words, ascii value 46? I don't know why you wouldn't just write '.' You may as well make: at that point.

Yeah I got the light-sabre inspired trait to reflect arrows back at the enemies, so once I get into combat it's GG archers.

You can't even roll until you're in combat. Just sprint and jump. I do the tactical charge method too. the in combat method in this game sucks in general, you get out of combat way too often, which makes all the 'stacker +gooderer while in combat' decoctions a bad option.

Yep. The whole trip up North was ill-conceived.

The blood does nothing till it burns.

Well, I think it was a do or die moment for Stannis. He basically had three choices: 1. Go into exile with his family / take the black and hope his family is taken care of by some lord. 2. Make a suicide seige and all his men and entire family die. 3. Kill Shireen and hope Melisandre is...

No. People haven't been rezzed since Beric Dondarrion and Thoros. Melisandre was seen with them so briefly non-readers probably don't remember the connection between them. I'm sure there will be a 'last time on GoT' to explain it. There is, however, a very real chance that Jon Snow is as dead...

Yeah that was the first and so far the most shocking moment. As a reader we get this warm comfort of knowing what's going to happen, or seeing small differences and saying smugly, 'That's not how it happened IRL.'. But when the Night's King rolled up like Frost Maul with a posse 12 deep and...

Ah that's a good idea to have modifiers, I'll have to try it out. How would DS4 help me? I'm not against getting it. Oh, one other problem I have. I get archers noscoping me at 100meters, but I can't start blocking and richochetting the arrows back at them until I get to 10 meters to enter...

Shireen become a scaleless Rhlorr out of the ashes would be awesome. Also awesome would be if Stannis burnt himself alive and gave orders to his army to march onto Winterfell. If publishers are upset about the show catching up to the books they should not look to the show for blame.

Oh I made a macro with my g600 mouse to instant cast signs but I switched to a gamepad because the game is built around using a gamepad (has velocity based turning and independent attack/camera directions).

That would be enough to be worth it.

xpost from non-spoiler thread: I think you're not seeing the complexity or nuance of his reaction and assuming when he reacts to it it's him saying, "This will never happen." instead of, "Please don't let it come to this...". Either way the storytelling is sound here. They've set this moment up...

Tough to say what happens. You have a large number of players whose storylines are all headed toward winterfell. I don't think Davos should get back before the winterfell battle, except at a last minute thing. It all depends on how Rhlorr helps them. Certainly the easiest way to do it would...

So do you just run around, chuck them and then meditate after each fight or what? Or do you use your sword through most of it, then whenever a billy badass shows up you use your bombs to get through it?

I feel like the UI giving you 2 bombs/potions and making you navigate 6 different screens to equip them makes any build that heavily uses potions/bombs not worth the effort. Shit I don't even like having to use the consolitis wheel to use different signs.

ME2 is better than ME1, but if you hated ME1 it's unlikely you'll like ME2. Also ME1 is awesome and your taste in games sucks. If they announce DS3 what's the expected release date? It seems like they just came out with bloodborne.

So are we seeing the winterfell battle next episode? I think how Davos responds will depend on if they take Winterfell. If Yahweh comes out and old testaments the Boltons, what the fuck can Davos say exactly? They were all dead men walking anyway, and Stannis used the only option available to...

Yeah Drogon definitely looked mortal in that. It could describe how they are immature, or it could describe how dragons are not WMDs unless there's a dragon rider to guide them. If you assume that the reason Drogon stopped breathing fire is because he was literally gassed out, it's strong...

Another interesting dichotomy between Stannis and his queen (Selyse) is how they respond initially and how they respond under pressure. Initially you see Selyse being the person mixing the koolaid. Everything she says is 100% confident, but she is really just convincing herself. When the...

Unsullied should be excellent in sword n board fighting, there's no excuse for it. They are hoplites who have done nothing their whole life but get their dicks cut off and trained using spear, sword and shield and they only have one dick. There's also no excuse for Daenarys to be in that...

Is this just a setup for Hizzy to escape blame yes/no I say no. Even if he despised Daenarys and her rule the upside to being king is much better than what happens if he deposes her. It's not like you can just have the queen assassinated and then get handed rulership. Probably the only way...

Oh and I noticed this too: The harpies were gutting rich folk: Deaths from the Harpy - Album on Imgur It seems like they were betrayed by Hizzy when he married Daenarys. I'd say it'd be nice if the show spent enough time to explain the factional difference between the harpy's and the...

You cant handle the truth about what Stannis did. - Album on Imgur

Anyone else feel like they're not really getting 'good' at this game? I feel like my typical setup is some form of encounter group of mobs, pull them a bit, try to fight them 1v2 and dodge-attack or parry-attack. If there are 4+ mobs (especially nekkers and wraiths) I have to back off and run...

Amazing episode, everything I wanted since There better be falcor photoshops to carry me through tomorrow.
