One touch I absolutely loved was all the minor houses and their sigils popping up at the tourney.

Also the casual dissing of Visenya

Regardless, I'm going to keep watching this. I know that there will be some very serious shit that makes the action scenes in Game of Thrones seem like child's play, and I'm going along for that ride.

I know nothing about this show at all. Pretty much the same as the last one before I started watching it. I think Matt Smith might be a bad guy? I might be wrong about that though. I'm about to see I guess!

Daemon's in truth both good and bad, massive raging douche regardless

Sorry if this has already been discussed but I find myself about to try to watch a new Game of Thrones show tonight so I have to ask. Is it still going to be full of rape and played off that "we have to stay true to the times" even though it's a fake world with dragons or have they finally come to their senses?

Checked the Season 1 outline I've got, nothing egregious in nature I can sense, with the closest it gets is apparently in Episode 7. Mostly Daemon being a grooming shit which tbf is what he is in the books.

Depending on what Season 2 covers, that'll likely be the dear gods what season in terms of content.

Also, first episode leaked and the first big death is a tough one 😭

On the plus side, shock and awe Ramin Djawadi does it again

So, book nerds: the Dance of the Dragons was inevitable at some point. How do you best hold it off as long as possible?

Easy answer is a Rhaenys/Viserys match.

In "oddly specific" game ideas, a commonly agreed-upon way in the CK3AGOT Discord to stop the Dance for now in retrospect was to wed the Queen Who Never Was to canon Viserys I. Let's try it.

D'aww how sw...



wtf game I just joke about that I didn't say do it

I don't care what anyone says, this is one of the best constructed pieces of music in the past 30 years. 

Won't argue that point, main riff is

WAAAAAAAH

Quality-wise should be good, it's mostly fleshing out the broad strokes of Fire & Blood that needs to be done. Main war has an ending in print unlike GOT itself.

EDIT: 

I'm in on HOTD possibly becoming a sort of Targaryen anthology series.

Yep the leaked outline of the first episode (and Season 1 in general) is legit then based off Otto and Corlys arguing over succession.
Unrelated but I love how in the few shots of King's Landing it looks more alive than the main show.

Heads up for those wanting to go in blind on the first season of House of the Dragon: apparently more detailed summaries of each episode are floating around the internet and in essence confirm the outline of events as whipped up by r/HouseOfTheDragon.

Read them as I've finished the book and aside from

follows the relevant chapters of Fire & Blood with reasonably great accuracy, with changes from print material largely relegated to fleshing out the day to day lives of everyone involved.

I was definitely one of those teenage edgelords who saw a diva on the daily IGN countdown and groaned.  At the time, we were unfortunately in the midst of women’s wrestling almost universally being considered to be a piss break on the Internet...and it felt like THQ/Yukes put about as much effort into the women in the game as WWE did on TV.  Aside from finishers they all had basically the same stats and movesets.  So I was in that toxic mindset of “ugh, why are they even in the game?  What a waste of space”.

Moronic 16-year old me probably would’ve bumped Trish and Lita for, like, Funaki and Simon Dean.  Glad I wasn’t in charge.

Fellow teen edgelord here and agree. Certain booking decisions I've played out in games regarding women's wrestling are kinda best left forgotten.

wow way to remind me I'm old when talking about the IGN countdowns for WWE games

I'll probably check it out but less enthused now. Parkour stuff seems fun at least.

Handegg/NFL: Ravens

Motorsport: anything that doesn't run FIA GT3 reg cars, which has become the incredibly lazy way of keeping a series alive (cough DTM)

You're the what now?

So the purported leak of the outline of Season 1 of HOTD looks more legit as (only spoilering for those wanting to go in dark)

Still my general benchmark for hair metal ballads.

THUG2's was great for how batshit it was.
