If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

SCTV? More like SKTV, am I right?

No, Doran Martell won't because Dany is too old for him.

This is perfect since both are stupid assholes who like to cry like babies when things don't go their way. Also they are (probably) both sadist pigs.

Edit: I say probably because I am not 100% sure that Ramsey Bolton is one, we need more evidence from the next book.

Well, it doesn't depend on grrm to do anything as the US edition was only one volume. So I don't see any reason it couldn't be true.

Wasn't supposed to be out until July I thought. Since he broke the volume in two, there is another prologue! And he said he was going to include a new epilogue in the paperback version - new epilogue chapter from TWOW.

The GRRMs of other mediums:

Gabe Newell of Valve, releasing the awesome of half-life, half-life 2, Episode One and Two while taking forever to do so. The Episode 2-Episode 3 gap is approaching FFC-DWD levels with no announcement in sight, also obese.

George Lucas, three decent movies followed by a long gap, then a pile of absolute poo poo in the next 3 movies. Also obese and an absolute fucker.

Where are the other GRRMs? Their names don't have to start with a G, but if there's a pattern we should make sure no more children are given G_ names.

In the commentary for portal 2, there's a part where he says something about it probably being the last game they make with dedicated single player content, so I wouldn't hold my breath for episode 3.

I thought they always did that in foreign countries due to the page length? Like there was a standard limit to how big fiction novels could be in size or something.

It's a pretty common fate for translated works; seems a translation of almost any text tends to wind up a bit longer than the original.

The bad thread can rest assured that its long-delayed and much-longed-for love, Half Life 3 (nee Half Life 2 Episode 3), will probably contain single player content. Gabe did an interview clarifying his remarks re: single player campaigns. Apparently in the future Valve will be focusing on 'single player plus', wherein even their single player campaigns have value added through social networking and bullshit like that. Maybe something like the hints system in Demon's Souls.

It doesn't mean the end of all single player campaigns from Valve in favor of yearly CS and DOTA sequels.

I was just making a general observation, anyway. The first book just came out in Norwegian and was split in two volumes even for the hardcover edition, I'm going to check it out just because the translators are two old high school gaming buddies of mine and I'm curious to see if my homies did a good job.
