My favorite part of that whole episode was Arya and The Hound.

Arya- "Someday I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull."

The look on The Hounds face was priceless.

I've been advising people to watch one season, then read the book for that season between the seasons, then watch a second season and then read the second book.

People pay you for this advice?

I am kind of torn about whether to recommend to someone to read the book or watch the series first.

Normally, I would almost always recommend reading the book first, but some of the "reveals" in GoT are so good on screen, I don't know if they have the same impact reading them, and those reveals alone might be worth watching the show first.

Play the computer game first.

Both the board game and card game are pretty good. Well, one of the board games, haven't played them all.

Haven't played the RPG, just looked at it.

It's reasonably solid.

Which of the two versions? I loved the first one, particulary the combat system, which made for some agonizing (but very enjoyable nonetheless) sessions.

The board game is great.  I can't recommend the RPGs, but I love the board game with the first two expansions.

The boardgame is someone's retarded Diplomacy variant.  It's awful.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What games are you guys talking about?
Computer games or tabletop games?
