The Flood / Re: Omg the new Game of Thrones episode
« on: June 01, 2015, 01:23:15 PM »

It was awesome

I'm glad the show writers said "fuck the books" and had Danny and Tyrion meet this early, blame GRRMartin.

That was just the cherry on top though, the giant smashing those undead was the fucking coolest thing ever in a fantasy tv series. He was ust like "no fucks given"

Was it Wun Wun?

I hope it was Wun Wun
It was Wun Wun. Tormund calls him by name when they're all like "LETS GTFO BEFORE THE NIGHTS KING KILLS US"

Someone explain to me why she needed it unopened?
Might be a personal preference, might be she was afraid of getting an opened drink because it could be spiked with something (a legitimate concern)

Out of every death in that series, I always felt that Grey Wind and Lady were especially unlucky.

Didn't he order hits on people?
6 hits, though I don't think any of the marks were actually executed

I love GRRM's work, but goddamn, he's such a cunt to his fanbase.

>took him more than half a decade to write a ADWD
>is taking him 4 years and counting to write TWOW
>moans about "pressurization" when fans rightfully question his lengthy process of writing
>talks shit about people who like to write fan fiction

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he was just improvising a pretty neat idea he had in 1996 just to keep the money flowing. He already stated the series could possibly extend into another 3 books.
To be fair, he doesn't hate all fan fiction! He's rather pleased with HBOs high budget fanfic x]

On a serious note, he is a bit rude to the fans, but I understand where he's coming from. He's got a lot of work ahead of him and a huge legacy to live up to/finish strong with, so the pressure is obviously mounting with each passing year. I think he's over the hill now and once he finishes TWOW we won't have another ADWD-style wait ahead of us.

I do wish he'd be a bit more transparent regarding his actual progress, but he famously does a lot of revisions so it wouldn't be entirely honest to gauge his progress publicly, methinks.
Which I'm sympathetic to, but that's really no excuse to treat the people who got him to where he is today like complete garbage. Either inform fans on the progress of your work, or don't say anything at all. There's no point in acting like a spoiled lazy brat when people rightfully protest about the insufferably slow pacing of a series they're paying their hard earned cash on. Nothing professional about it at all.

Funny how you didn't see JK Rowling string along her novels several years at a time when HP blew up, or throw temper tantrums at fans.
Apples and oranges. ASOIAF is much more complex than HP, and to be fair, he has released quite a bit of TWOW content and several novellas in recent years. Now, one could argue that the novellas just slowed his progress, but I'm glad we got them. The Dunk&Egg stories are lovely.

That's ridiculous. I'm on book 4 and it's unforgivably slow. I can't handle another four gigantic books.
AFFC is very cerebral and heavy on the inner monologue/dialogue stuff. It's classic Act II story building really, setting up the rising action in ADWD and TWOW.

Serious / Re: Best definition of marriage? (Also, polygamy)
« on: May 31, 2015, 08:06:11 PM »
It's rather silly that marriage is such a big deal. I'm a proponent of the second definition; as such, I don't think the institution should be regulated or defined by the state. Marriage has always existed as a diaspora, so I think it should remain a private institution defined by individuals.

Personally, I think formal/institutional marriage is pointless and hollow.

Actually I'm pretty sure the head honcho of silk road was never tracked down, only the people under him. Heck the FBI isn't sure if he's one person.
The dread pirate Roberts isn't a single person, but ulbricht was probably set up as the fall guy anyway

Serious / Should the founder of Silk Road have gotten his sentence?
« on: May 31, 2015, 03:20:57 PM »
Only the DEA is allowed to sell drugs in bulk in this country. Silly dread pirate.


On a more serious note, I dunno how much this played into his sentencing but the Silk Road did host links for hitmen, and I think the dread pirate Roberts even put a few hits out himself. I don't think he should be sentenced for this long for just hosting a third party drug trafficking operation but there was some other really shifty shit going down on the Silk Road.

The Flood / Re: What are your fears when driving?
« on: May 31, 2015, 03:48:59 AM »
I'm afraid of drivers in front of me randomly slamming the brakes mostly. And if I'm on a two lane road, I'm afraid the people coming from the left side will drift over into my lane and collide or run me off the road.

Wait is her name different in the show
I don't remember
It's asha in the books and yara in the show. I think the reason for the change was similarity to Osha the wildling's name, so people "wouldn't get confused."

I haven't been gaming as much as I used to. I've been dicking around in new Vegas a bit. Got really into heroes of the storm for a while but my computer doesn't run it too well so I'm giving it a rest for a while.
