Yeah, people should definitely try to at least pre-load the streams, and avoid doing things that might crash the browser

WTF is this Robb romance stuff

Tuffty · « **Reply #162 on:** February 25, 2012, 02:07:02 PM »

I can see why it's there, you learn about it so quickly and the it's given fairly short shrift in the books. Plus, it just gives an excuse for more sexy times on the show

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #163 on:** February 25, 2012, 02:28:59 PM »

Yeah I know it's there for the tv storytelling, *SEMI-SPOILERISH??? FOR BOOK 2 AND 3* but the more they romanticize it, they more they get removed from the fact that Robb is a fucking idiot, and then probably more ppl will hate on Catelyn again, who's only trying to be the voice of reason. OH WELL.

^ I still hate Catelyn.

Here's another streaming link that works:

^ TBH I found her chapters a bore because she was always so damn depressed and wallowing in self-pity. But when it comes to her ACTIONS and strategy, I don't think there's wrong with just about anything she did. You know there are people who blame THE ENTIRE WAR on her

Like everything was happy joyjoy before she "arrested" Tyrion. LOL.

That's why I was looking forward to seeing her on tv, because on tv we don't have to hear those thoughts of hers and only get to see the actions. And I think Michelle's done a wonderful job as Catelyn. I'm just worried that she'll be portrayed or interpreted as a villain because of Robb's idiocy.

Catelyn is indeed the voice of reason but arresting Tyrion was stupid. Not only for deciding to arrest him on a chance meeting but for even thinking that Tyrion would be as foolish as to give an assassin his own dagger. It's because of that, Jaime and Tywin went out looking for him with their posses, pillaging and raping all the while. She's not the sole reason, far from it, but it was an act of stupidity that helped kick it all off. Littlefinger said it all.

I still get that funny feeling down in my pants when I hear Emilia deliver Daenery's war lines.

^ But didn't Littlefinger want that to happen?? He's the one who told Cat about the dagger, no?

Don't be deceived by him, everything he does or says is for a reason.

Based on what information Cat had the moment, it wasn't stupid... 1) She didn't personally know Tyrion, so she couldn't have possibly known that Tyrion would indeed not be stupid enough to give an assassin his own dagger. 2) The information about the dagger came from an old friend that she trusts. 3) It would've raised enough suspicion had Tyrion returned home telling everyone where he had seen Catelyn on the road. 4) They call Tyrion the "Imp"...

It's not fair to be prejudiced, but that's how people work.

It was Catelyn's chance to immediately do something she thought was right, or return home knowing that the "enemy" once again is ahead having information it wasn't supposed to have. Mehzzles

So for the next watching party, should we implement a drinking game?

Some of the rules mentioned so far:

- 1 shot whenever somebody says "bastard"
- 1 drink every time Robert finishes a cup/horn/flask
- 1 shot whenever "Winter is coming" is said
- 1 shot every time Viserys says "dragon"

Any other suggestions?

Tuffty · « **Reply #170 on:** February 25, 2012, 10:52:43 PM »

- Shot anytime a boob is shown (Note: 1 shot for one boob, 2 shots for both)

Hart · « **Reply #171 on:** February 25, 2012, 10:58:34 PM »

How about 3 shots whenever the dragon eggs are shown.

I think I've mentioned this on IRC:
- 2 shots whenever Tyrion mentions his cock.

A browser-based Game of Thrones MMO is currently development, publisher Bigpoint has announced.

It's sharing development duties with Artplant - the same studio it teamed with on Battlestar Galactica Online.

All we know about the game so far is that it will be built using the Unity engine, though more details are expected out of the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next week.

The developer doesn't have the most impressive record, so I won't get my hopes up on the quality. I sure wish Turbine would buy the rights, considering their amazing work with Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online (both Free to Play, and fantastic MMOs).

A bunch of pics of cast members who showed up at the DVD launch party including Emilia Clarke, Richard Madden and many more.

One of my favourite pics from the event with Oona Chaplin (Jeyne) and Gwendoline Christie (Brienne)
