  Only two more episodes of Game of Thrones Season 3...

  Season 3 is almost done, with two more episodes to go, what are you looking forward to seeing in the next two episodes and in season 4?
  
  If you don't know already, BOOK 3 (imo the best of the bunch) is split into two seasons (thankfully we now get 20 episodes worth over two seasons instead of just 10 episode and one season like what happened for book 1 and 2). I was so excited when I heard this, book 3 is just crazy and it deserves more seasons/episodes than the first two imo.

  How has everyone enjoyed season 3 so far? Are you sad the season is almost over?

  Part of me always says "I wish there was more episodes" but you have to realize that it takes awhile to make a show this good. It's not like CSI or other shows were they can just do 30-40 episodes in no time.

  
  One of hte few shows that travels all over teh world, I have heard as many as 12 countries have been visited by the production team for this show and it really shows.

  What to watch after this season ends in a couple of weeks?

  If you have not checked out BREAKING BAD, do yourself a favor and get caught up on that, as the last season starts after GOT ends. Also if you have not seen Son Of Anarchy, The Borgias, Homeland, Vikings or Mad Men, check them out!

  Maybe the can keep you busy till winter comes next with GOT

  Who are you're favorite characters on HBO's Game Of Thrones?
  For me its The Imp and Kahlessi. I also like John Snow and the King slayer but definatly always excited to see The Imp and Kahlessi

  Sang Froid: Tales Of Werewolves

  

  Sang Froid - Tales Of Werewolves Review - By Artifice Studio
  
  
  Sang Froid is a very unique new indie game for the PC, that mixes in traditional tower defense with action and role-playing. The atmosphere, music and gameplay are all very well done and only add to the games overall vibe and quality.
  
  During the day time you buy stuff from the towns and set up traps, then during the night time you put you're plan into action. The game also does a wonderful job of helping you learn how to play the game, probably the best and more entertaining tutorials ive seen in awhile.
  
  The game is set in Canada during the 1800s and it has some Canadian dialogue and Canadian humor that people from Canada will no  doubt enjoy.
  
  I suggest anyone who enjoys strategy  games or indie games to check this game out. It sort of reminds me of Orcs must Die 2 mixed with Xcom. The game also has a very unique look to it to with its art design and graphics.
  
  The only negative I have is that there is no coop and that the game could be a tad longer! The good side of all that though is that the devs have already announced they are working on another entry in the game that will include coop and much more. Definitely looking forward to that as I had a blast setting up traps and trying my setups in action. Another small thing is that the animations
  could be alot better.
  
  You really have to put you're thinking cap on to get these missions done, you won't just be able to use you're weapons to win here. Where you place the traps plays a huge role into how things play out during the night time, sure its good to do well with your gun and axe but if you place the wrong traps or the traps in the wrong spots you will fail miserably during the night period.
  
  The soundtrack is also very well done and very addicting, which only adds to the atmosphere, art design and gameplay that this game does so well. Compared to other tower defense games, this one is a breath of fresh air and a game that I expect to push this genre forward.
  
  So far this is one of the top games of 2013 and I cannot wait to see what these developers do next. I would also buy any kind of expansion packs or sequels for this game. This game is full of fun gameplay, great atmosphere, wonderful music, good art design. Highly recomended!
  
  For me this and Don't Starve are not only the two best indie games so far for 2013, but they are also up there for overall best games of the year for me personally. If you are looking for a unique game with a ton of charm and that is a nice challenge, don't sleep and go pick this up!
  
  You can tell the devs put a ton of effort and love into this game, from the humor, to the great gameplay, to the art design, to the wonderful music, this is a game you must try out, especially if you are from up north or you enjoy these types of games.

  Two Indie games to check out

  - Don't Starve

  

   

  - Sang Froid: Tales of Werewolves

  

  
  

   

  These two games have been super enjoyable and are my favorite indie games since Legend Of Grimrock and FTL.

   

  Don't Starve is sort of like a singleplayer DAYZ (mixed with minexcraft), where you need to survive and build/craft things. It is a pretty tough game, if you liked Demon Souls difficulty try this. I saw a dayz streamer talking about this and I am realy glad I bought a copy awhile ago. They have put out a ton of updates and each one adds alot to the game. Also it has a godo amount of replay value, I have already put in over 100 hours on this game and Im sure Ill put many more into it. The game also has some wonderful art design.

  Sang Froid Tales of Werewolves is a tower defense/rpg game that has been a super nice surprise. It is funny, fun, has great atmosphere and is pretty unique. It reminds me a combination of xcom and orcs must die 2. During the day you buy things and setup you're traps, then at night you put you're plan into action and see if you can stop the monsters. Like Don't Starve this is a challenging game and while it doesn't have as much replay value as Don't Starve it is more structured and has some interesting characters and story. Not to mention some hilarious Canadian humor and some wonderful voice acting. Also the tutorial videos teaching you hwo each trap works are some of the best ive seen. All this game needs is coop and itll be perfect (The devs have said there sequel will have coop).

   

  So there you have it, two wonderful newer indie games that are well worth the small amount they cost. Both are singleplayer but worth every penny. Was not looking forward to these new PC indie games but I am having a blast.
