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.

They have some used, not interested in that? Though, I hate buying used books and then they end up smelling like cigarette smoke. Blehk. And then there is this, which we can't get in the US:

Ewwww not used books. God knows what crap used books have been through. And yeah I saw the special limited edition. I'm kinda anal about things like that. I'd want all of them in the special limited edition. But like I said early, I figure with the renewed attention this book series is getting. I'd imagine that an entire new reprint would be order soon, with some lush boxset for sale. Think I'm gonna hold out for that, and just rape my local library for some copies.

In a good way or a bad way or "the series doesn't do justice"-way?

Very much in a good way IMO. It's uncompromising just like it has been all season I only worry they won't be able to show certain parts of what's to come. I absolutely LOVE this show and the first book looking forward to getting book 2 :)

Which channel is it being aired on? Is there an "on demand" way I can catch up? I've been told I'd like it and I should watch it.

if you from the UK its Sky Atlantic if you are USA not sure if HBO have a catch up service

So having never read the Song of Ice and Fire series, how closely is the show following the book? I only ask because ....

I'm holding out for a glimmer of hope for Ned, knowing what happens to him in the book....Of course that would change the entire dynamic of the show and they would have to completely change the story around but hey....I'm tired of seeing Sean Bean die in his work :p. If it does happen, I'm guessing it will happen in the last episode? Not sure if it happened at the end of the Game of Thrones book or not.

Nah, it happened when he was supposed to apologize to Joffrey (most of the battles have been fought after he died), which should be soon, I think he's gonna die in the next episode.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
