Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I'm sure it's not infinite. Even if it's easy work, it's work, and we know what the mountain thinks of working. Somewhere on the internet there's a thread full of wild cards fans angry about grrm's blog posts about this dumb TV show. I can't really imagine organized Wild Cards fans. Or don't want to.

I can understand how Westeros is shaped vaguely like Britain, but it's so stupid when people start moving and turning landmasses around and then go "Look how similar they are!" If you're cramming landmasses together and rearranging them and spinning them around then anything looks like anything else.

Essos is basically Greece and Egypt and Mongolia, with the mysterious lands of China and Persia off further east.

I agree with this, but having said that, the bottom half of Westeros seems pretty decisively upside down Ireland, looking at that. Having said THAT, while Northern Westeros has the obvious Northern England/Scotland/Hadrian's Wall thing going on, the bottom half is nothing like Ireland so, erm, whatever. Just laziness on GRUM's part where he couldn't even be bothered to draw a random squiggly coastline.

Though it's not as funny/horrifying as the fact that Kingkiller Chronicles is also apparently going to get TV/Movie treatment. Which is fitting, because Rothfuss is "the next GRRM" and like GRRM he's busy doing everything other than write the next book in his series.

The latest news that I saw regarding TWOW release date now mentions early 2017. I mean seriously, it always seems to be just 1 year away. Honestly guys, it's totally coming soon.

Never google TWOW release date because there are all of these websites that then populate your google news feed that always predict some random date in the future with headlines that make you think there has been an actual announcement.

July 2017 is the last date the publishers gave out as a release date. Though that was not a a set in stone date. Edit: That was from June last year.

Find out the release date for George R R Martin with this one weird trick. One Fan's reaction will amaze you. When this one Fan found out the REAL release date, his reaction went viral. The one thing the Game of Thrones author doesn't want you to know. This Game of Thrones fan's response to the release date is absolutely perfect - You won't believe what happens next. kcroy fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Feb 22, 2016 |

"don't like" as if you could grow accustomed to the genetic predisposition to tasting industrial soap on all your food. As a connoisseur of all the bottles underneath the sink let me tell you I don't care for this Borox powder. Sorry if that makes me a big dumb baby.

Yeah, I mostly got over the soapy thing and can kind of taste what normal people like about it. Meanwhile my brother is stuck picking the green bits out of his nachos or w/e like a piece of poo poo.

I'm very much enjoying that every time HBO Now runs its ad on twitter and Facebook the comments are like "OMG you spoiled that Jon Snow isn't dead" and then 50 people reply to that "OMG you dick we didn't know that!" and apparently none of the fans of this show have seen this show before.Cartouche posted:Cilantro is the most vile. If you hate cilantro it's because you have a genetic disorder. Please keep reading bad fantasy novels about child molesters and incest instead of breeding.
