[size=13pt]I haven't read the books. The first one is collecting dust on my dresser. Maybe I'll start it this summer lol.[/size]

The books are ridiculously good. Like...if you are into fantasy/military stuff, you'll love them. I highly recommend diving in.

PhysicsQED: I read the first book and I thought it was pretty good. I might get around to reading the other books by the summer.

Then after I'm done reading the whole song of ice and fire series, I'll probably start watching the show on couchtuner or maybe download or buy it.

The written works that shows or movies are based on are pretty much always better than the shows or movies themselves so I wouldn't want to spoil the story with the show before reading the books, although I think The Walking Dead is an exception.

GoT is one of those cases where the TV show is is just as good as the book. Like, the TV show adds depth to certain characters that simply didn't show up in the novels (at least for me). The Tywin/Tyrion dynamic is just one example.

Also, George RR Martin had prior experience in TV and evidently has had lots of creative control of the show...this helps to keep quality high.

Kat.ph is my favorite torrent site.

Episode 1 of season 3 was 400 megabytes for me. So if your internet connection can handle that go ahead.

Akanniade:

Why wait, the torrent is seeding like crazy.

+1. Took like 30 min for me to download it Sunday night. I'm sure the download time is even less now (more seeders)

[size=13pt]What the...? THINKING?!?!?!?! What is there to think about?! GET ON IT! angry
I watched the first 5 minutes of the first episode on Netflix, found it hella boring. I guess I'll give it another shot.


As per GOT, I missed Arya and Braun lol, easily some of my favorites. I'd take either of them over silly Sansa any day. I can't wait to see Tyrion's response to Cersei and his father. I couldn't even hate Joffrey as much because he was siding with his humanitarian of a future wife over his own mother. Awesome cool[/size]

Braun is a frikkin beast. Love that guy.

Btw, Tywin Lannister? He was somewhat underdeveloped in the book in my opinion. But really shines in the TV show.

It is a great tv show....does the books justice.

I've been thinking about starting up Walking Dead, but no time for a new series right now grin

Watching season 3 episode 1 now.

What on earth must Tyrion do to earn his father's love? This sh1t makes me sad.

Romance / Re: You Know She's From The Ghetto When...? by ektbear: 5:02am On Apr 01, 2013
I don't know if that is a ghetto thing though. I see plenty of regular, non-ghetto black folk who do that fake nickname stuff.

Hella weird to me, no clue why they do it.

Maybe a better question is, why would one accept a torn or faded note?

Why accept worn notes when you can equally demand fresh-looking ones?
