Seems as good a place as any on the internet to b**** about Peter Dinklage getting robbed at the Emmy Awards. Don't get me wrong. I love me some Breaking Bad. And this past season just keeps getting better and better. But this past season Jesse Pinkman never had a single moment anywhere close to Tyrion Lanister's Blackwater speech. And Dinklage seriously owned that moment.

Not to mention the scene with Shae after that when she came to visit him after the battle. That was some quality acting.

So, I know all you are already a bunch of nerds for talking about snarks and grumkins in a public place.

And I know for a fact that several of you are into World of Warcraft or at least Diablo III.

And I really don't care how big of a nerd you all think me to be (because you can probably multiply that by X and you still won't be close)...

SO....

I have begun to adapt a pencil and paper RPG for the Game of Thrones setting. (Yes, I realize there already is one, and I've seen it...it isn't very good) I was wondering if there would be anyone out there interested in giving it a try.

What I'm looking for at the moment is some people to help me iron out some of the kinks and help playtest...I will also have my first "official" campaign starting around the first of the year.

But I'd really like to get a small group from here together and help put some interesting stories together and see how it works.

If you're interested, send me a PM. I already play a few pencil and paper RPGs with some other groups over Skype, Ventrilo, and the like...the lore and "realism" (as far as fantasy goes) of Game of Thrones is just to ripe not to try and pick the fruit.

So send me a PM. I promise not to out your nerd-dom to the rest of the board.

It does get frustrating but the show is still so engrossing I can't stop watching. It gets slow at times, lacks action, but then the payoff is its epic nature and twisting plot lines. It keeps you guessing.

I did have to go online a few times to read the back stories on the characters. It gets hard to follow sometimes.

I have a feeling xbox / microsoft smartglass will let you track who you're watching and get their bios instantly.

That would be handy. Funny a show can be popular, but sort of piss people off at same time. I guess that is the sign of a great story that is hard to tell.

That movie coming out Cloud Atlas supposedly switches time frames in drastic ways. Sounds really hard to film. I will probably go check that out.

I saw Cloud Atlas not this past weekend but the one before in a screening with the Wachowskis. I enjoyed it. Good, not great. There's nothing particularly intellectual about the movie but it doesn't take long to adapt to the construct. It's set up in the first 10 minutes of the movie.

Anyways I came in here to post this

Yes, and Lana, formerly Lara was an incredibly funny and awesome interviewee. If you didn't know you wouldn't notice.

I hope you read the Dunk and Egg novellas before the 2 additional read-throughs....

This is almost exactly what I pictured Tormund Giantsbane looking like! Great casting job (imo)

EDIT: minus the flannel haha

So, who else thought season 2 flopped a little?

It did. It's lacking that "Ned Stark" moment from S1/Book One, but rest assured season 3 will eclipse both combined.
