Some People were Quite Shocked by Game of Thrones

Having not read the books yet, Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones certainly caught me off-guard. It was definitely a big “did that just happen” moment though I’ll definitely be back for this week’s season finale. However, there were some people who were well and truly shocked and upset after watching the most recent episode. Those people make great viewing for us thanks to YouTube.

By the way, the video is probably a bit spoilerish so if you haven’t seen last week’s episode and haven’t read the books: Spoilers…

Game of StarCraft

I’ve missed my Friday Game of Thrones posts. I’m actually kind of shocked that I haven’t done a single GoT post in four weeks. Fortunately, I have something cool for you today.

YouTube user Tolkfan has put together the Game of Thrones intro using StarCraft footage. It’s pretty damn cool and very reminiscent of the real intro.

I quite enjoy making my Friday Game of Thrones hype posts. Mind you, I haven’t done it as much lately and the last couple of episodes have been absolutely stellar so I hope I’m not jinxing things. Anyway, today’s GoT post is a Pokemon mashup. What would happen if you made House sigils using Pokemon? […]

Game of Dinklage

Along with many geeks (and lovers of good TV), I love Game of Thrones. The last time someone asked me who my favourite character was, I answered with one word: Dinklage. I know that I should have said Tyrion but Tyrion Lannister just wouldn’t be half as awesome a half-man if it wasn’t for Peter Dinklage.

Now, you can catch all of The Dinklage’s greatness in a short compilation of all of Tyrion’s greatest quips and one-liners.

What if Disney Made Game of Thrones?

That’s a frightening thought but the result is a fantastic video. So what would Game of Thrones look like (and sound like) if it was done in typical Disney fashion? In this video, Daenerys and Ser Jorah have a duet in the classic Disney princess style.

George R. R. Martin would be spinning in his grave at the thought of this. Wait, he’s still alive? How bloody long is he planning to take to write the last two books?

Now that The Walking Dead is Over, Watch Some Good TV Like Game of Thrones

No, I’m not going to stop giving The Walking Dead shit over an utterly confusing and dissatisfying finale to the third season. It’s all well and good that you do something different from the comic but it has to be a quality product put on screen. Being different doesn’t make a show good. Being good makes a show good.

And that brings me to this week’s reminder to watch Game of Thrones. It’s my favourite show on TV right now. It should be yours too.

Get Ready for Season 3 of Game of Thrones with a Season 2 Recap Video

Game of Thrones returns on Sunday for Season 3. Unfortunately, HBO has put the first showing of the season premiere against the season finale of The Walking Dead. Assuming that three weeks of nothing happening hasn’t turned people off of TWD, you can always catch the 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM showings.

In case, for some strange reason, you missed Season 2 of Game of Thrones, you can catch up on the show with this short recap video.

Yes, some wonderful person has combined two of the internet’s favourite things into one glorious gallery. It’s Game of Thrones characters and their feline equivalents. Because cats are awesome (though don’t let my dog know I said that) and so is Game of Thrones. Source: askshiva

Game of Thrones Has The Greatest Newspaper Ad Ever

Feb 28

Posted by Steve Murray

Readers of the New York Times would have justified in looking over their shoulder like a mad man while searching for the source of an unexpected shadow on their Wednesday morning paper. That’s because the shadow wasn’t real but an ad for season three of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Read the rest of this entry →

Winter is Coming (and War, too) in the Game of Thrones Season 3 Trailer

We’re a whole six weeks away from the March 31st season premiere date but that doesn’t mean that HBO isn’t willing to rub the wait in a little with a new trailer for Season Three.

This season will be based on the first half of A Storm of Swords. Looking at the trailer, we can expect death, destruction and dragons. Fuck yeah, dragons! Shit’s going to get real when the dragons enter battle.
