Of course I would think this is excellent, since this batch includes two of my favorite characters. But, c'mon, Brienne as a football player totally fits.
There was no new episode Game of Thrones this week, but the show's famous opening title sequence—recreated with StarCraftII units in the game's cutscene editor—might ease the pain.
Jimmy Fallon's Game Of Thrones Tribute Is Surprisingly Amazing
Say what you will about Jimmy Fallon's tenure of the Late Night show, when his team decide to do a Game of Thrones parody, they go all out.
It was a rough Sunday night without a real Game of Thrones, but if we're going to sit through ten minutes of homage, it could have been a lot worse than this. The band section is pretty terrific.
There's no Game of Thrones this week. How to cope? With a preview of its upcoming Japanese language disc release.
While many of the books have gotten Japanese language editions, the series hasn't yet reached the public in Japan in the way Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter have.
The show is already being broadcasted on Star Channel, a Japanese cable network. Not everyone in Japan has cable TV, so Game of Thrones really hasn't had the opportunity to find a larger audience in the country. Yet.
In Japan, lots of people rent physical media. Thus, the first season's DVD and Blu-ray release is really what could make the Game of Thrones a mainstream hit in Japan, like, say, 24 or Lost were a few years back. There's no reason why Game of Thrones won't take off in Japan.
For those living in Japan, the DVD and Blu-ray versions will be subtitled.
