Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 who cares if he finishes, the show is better anyway Meh, I'd say the books were better but to each their own... Is anyone else playing the Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings II? It just got updated for 2.3.4 and seems to be a lot more stable than it was in the alpha of this build. "Geez.

LadyCrimson Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I gave up after three books, does that count? Remember that "Concerning Hobbits" part of the book where Tolkien describes the lineage and family trees of those different kinds of Hobbits? Game of Thrones is half what happens in the show, and half that. Not to mention the part where we're always reading about inconsequential characters more than any good characters. The show does that too, but much less. I can't believe fans got upset because the showrunners created that Ros characters combining the roles of several minor character, because in the books those characters have literally no reason to exist. Yup, I felt similar just reading the one. GoT book 1 I bought at random one day and I struggled with a lot of boredom in the first half - then it became a bit interesting, and then by the last page I was "yes, I need to read the next one." Only there was no next one yet, and a couple years later I'd almost forgotten about it. Then it was suddenly this sooper popular series because the 2nd book took off or something. I find it kind of odd, really. Still, one day I'll get around to it. Although I wonder if I'd give up at book 3, too. “Things are as they are.

Luj1 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Very addictive television show. Yeah. At first. After the third season it's all downhill however. "There once was a loon that twitter Before he went down the ****ter In its demise he wasn't missed Because there were bugs to be fixed." ~ Kaine
Maedhros Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 It's the same with the books. It gets less interesting when all the main characters are so far apart from each other.
Volourn Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Damn it all. 0 RLY? Another episode another less 5 minutes for Sansa/Littlefinger. WTF DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
