As a character I had tons of respect for Ned Stark but dear God he is f**king naive! How he is going about his business is akin to sticking to fighting with swords while your enemies lock and load their AK47's and you refuse to change because of honour and all that which is valiant but how long before that gets your ass killed? Incredibly frustrating to watch him get chumped week in week out :laugh:

Gotta wait a week longer now for the eighth episode, gonna feel like ages.

This ep was just bloody brilliant. What's the guys name who swore to Kat that he'd help Ned?

That's Lord Petyr (Littlefinger).

I suspect episode 8 will be on advance preview on HBO GO next week as well.

I feel HBO might be shooting themselves in the feet previewing episodes like that...ratings were down this week and I bet next week as well...this ruined Dexter's ratings as well when they sent those tv critics episodes in advance and they inevitably get leaked.

I've been reading the book, staying ahead of the TV episodes. I loved how the TV version did the "gold crown for a king" sequence. Brilliant stuff.

I'm getting a lot of people at work that are enjoying the show, which is good. This deserves the attention just for the production alone. I'm becoming a huge fan of Tyrian Lannister, the "Imp". Peter Dinklage is fantastic for the role.

I also been loving his work, but the credit also goes for the writers who made him the way he is.

Don't know why, but i also like that guy who has been following the targarians and the horde.

Hmmm, anyone know where I can get the books? I want them in hard back/cover. Had a quick look on Amazon and didn't find anything. I'd want to buy directly from Amazon not one of those 3rd party sellers.

Book 1 - http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553103547/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1306802695&sr=8-1

Book 2 - http://www.amazon.com/Clash-Kings-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553108034/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

Book 3 - http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Swords-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553106635/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

Book 4 - http://www.amazon.com/Feast-Crows-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553801503/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

All in hardcover. You can select which version/format you want in the middle box. Though that's for the US amazon.

Apart from I'm in the UK you noob! Turns out they stopped hardback prints a while back in the UK. Only paperbacks, which is kinda gay. I'm gonna wait, I guess with the renewed popularity thanks to the TV series we will definitely see a re-print I reckon.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
