    Re: Game of Thrones

    I really enjoyed the first series, the second not so much. This one has been okay, overall, I'd say.. I'm enjoying it more than I did the second.

    I struggle with fantasy settings at times but this one I've stuck with. I never got into Spartacus, though I quite enjoyed Rome.

    I see Philippa Gregory's 'The White Queen' is incoming this summer - I don't hold too much hope for that. It's a period I know well (my PhD centred on it) and I didn't get very far with the novel as I didn't find it convincingly written at all.

    And I've no idea where u get your definition of 'porn' from, since being naked is apparently quite common in RL, perhaps you have some bizarre hangup about the human form which, you know, we all have like it or not

    I just don't understand why people feel the need to comment on EVERYTHING rather than things they're actually interested in. I mean, if you don't like it and don't watch wtf are you doing wasting time discussing it? Makes no sense to me...

    But I can see why you have such a high post count Cat lol

    This is a discussion forum not your own forum.

    But I can see why you have such a high post count Cat lol
    Most of those posts come from helping people in the technical section,which is where 99% of my posts are in.

    I have helped people who could not thank too,ie, many low post number users. So going from that,it can't be all bad,eh?

    There are also other members like Kalniel,Madduck,Scaryjim,etc who also have high post counts too and get thanked alot too.

    So,don't think just because someone has a high post count,that they have not been useful. I would rather spend more time here on Hexus,helping out people than fanning around on Failbook,Reddit,Twitter,etc.

    Oh thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious Over-sensitive, much?

    And what has those social media got to do with anything? I certainly didn't mention them (or use them for that matter). Nor did I state your uncountable other posts were not useful to anyone.

    Just pointing out that you haven't added anything to this thread - one about a subject you've admitted you're not interested in or know anything about.

    Re: Game of Thrones

    been wanting to write this for a while, might just be me though, and it is kind of a generic thing, not really a spoiler so I wont white it out:

    end of series 2, where theon is getting annoyed at the trumpeter.
    it sounds exactly like the trumpeter from dragon age-origins, in ostagar near the mabari kennels.

    same notes, same duration, same annoyingness.

    anyone else notice it? or am I going mad?
