Ugh, Native Americans right? All they do is bitch and moan because they lost a war all while living on land that we gave them and not paying taxes. We won the war! We earned the right to wear their silly feather hats and name our sports teams after them. If they had won I'm sure there would be professional lacrosse teams named "White Devils" and "The Fighting Pilgrims" and what not. Bunch of cry babies. It's not cultural appropriation if you beat the poo poo out of a people in fair open combat. That's why nearly everyone but Spain gets to wear lederhosen if they want.

"GRRMspeaking" is not what I'd recommend as name choice for a Twitter maintained by minions or publishers. That's probably info you should include in the description too.

I could see him doing that if a late draft of WoW found its way online before/just after being announced as published, but that would 1. Require him to actually have a WoW draft near any state of completion 2. Use a digital format created after the Reagan years Neither of which are very likely.

What's more bizarre than Livejournal still existing is that Deadjournal is also extant. And Vampire Freaks as well.  Nothing quite says "gently caress the mainstream" like having a Christmas sale

I'm pretty sure they don't want Grrm outright stating that he has nothing to do with that twitter account, he just can't control himself when he's throwing a neckbeard tantrum. Speaking of, I wonder what kinda internet rumors would get him to bite the TV hand that feeds him? "George RR Martin says in interview that HBO's writers are doing a much better job with Tyrion's characterization than he himself could ever manage"? If theres any badthreaders that write for a nerdblog, please stir up some more poo poo while he's still feeling that holiday/shitdick-anniversary season grrumpiness.

Hey guys, I'm going to attempt to listen to the ASoIaF books on "tape" (well, I'm trying for the first three books at least, we'll see how bored I get how fast) as I'm going to be doing some work soon wherein this would probably help pass some time. I've only truly read the books through once, other than that I've just skipped around and re-read certain chapters or sections, so I'm actually a little excited since I'm sure I missed lots of revolting passages and details. The most common version seems to be the ones read by Roy Dotrice, at least, that's what's on Audibleit *seems*, and he's read every book though he sounds considerably more quavery in the sample from ADWD. This Roy Avers fellow also seems to have recorded versions of AGoT and ASOS, but none of the other books, and it seems like there were several recordings of AFFC made before Dotrice recorded a version. He seems fairly beloved so I guess I'll go with him unless you guys strongly tell me that Avers is much better. Dotrice seems to be to do thick regional British dialects, at least, and those are fun to hear. I childishly wish there was an Iain Glen recording of the whole series - I listened to his recording of "The Princess and the Queen", and it was just freaking outstanding. I could listen to that guy read the phone book. edit: Thinkin' I'm going to stick with Dotrice. His are the most easily available and he's narrated all 5 books (and seems to be the only one who narrated books 2 and 5) and continuity is always nice as long as the narrator is doing a good job. Out of curiosity, was the Avers one recorded first, or for the American release, or something else? God help me I don't think I could stand to actually *listen* to ADWD, though. Insert your joke about a distinguished Shakespearean actor reading "sunset found her squatting in the grass..." joke here. kaworu fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Dec 14, 2014 |
