Well at least when Jordan took that long to release the last book he had a good excuse... he died... ;)

I was more referring to the comment "jeez, another book?" with showing how long it's been between releases... It's not like boom, boom, boom another book. :p

Neil Marshall has signed up to direct an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones.

The Dog Soldiers director will helm a single instalment of the fantasy drama's second season, according to Deadline.

Marshall's work on Game of Thrones will mark his television debut. His past credits include such films as 2005's The Descent, 2008's Doomsday and last year's Centurion.

Other directors confirmed for the new season include The Pacific's David Nutter, Rubicon's Alik Sakharov and Boardwalk Empire's David Petrarca.

Palookaville's Alan Taylor, who directed the ninth and tenth instalments of the first season, will also return.

Natalie Dormer, Carice van Houten, Stephen Dillane, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Robert Pugh, Michael McElhatton and Patrick Malahide are among the actors to have signed up for roles on Game of Thrones.

The series will return to HBO in early 2012.

Just watched all 10 eps yesterday, today I bought all 5 books

Good for you!

The TV show is good, but the books are so much better :D

I can't wait to see how they film the battle at King's Landing in season 2!

so im pretty much done reading the first book and i'm re-watching the series and man do they cut out a lot, change some things and just add a way more sex and naked women (not that i'm complaining about the sex and women part...)

Really? I thought the first season was remarkably accurate and left very little out. I've also seen other people mention the amount of sex and nudity in the show but in general I think there's much more in the books. Maybe it's just a bit more obvious when you see it on TV but the books don't tend to leave much to the imagination. The other thing to note is that some of the sex in the book couldn't make it onto TV without being altered (for instance, Danaerys is only thirteen in the book).

I can't wait to see season 2.

Downton Abbey actress Rose Leslie has landed the key role of a Wildling woman that Jon Snow meets during during his adventures beyond the Wall. Ygritte is described as “strong-willed, witty, skilled in battle and survival in the wilderness. An unconventional beauty, skinny but strong with red hair (which the Wildlings consider ‘kissed by fire’).”

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
