  Last nights GOT episode >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  What a powerful episode, felt like I got hit by a big truck. This part of the books had me in tears (only book to do that for me over the years) and I wasnt sure how good they would do that part of the books but man did they handle is wonderfully last night.

  I almost felt like I have when you get a call that a friend or family member has died or is very sick. Your heart drops, you are sad,etc.. violence and shows/movies in general don't effort me much but last nights episode was just so powerful, sad and extremely well done.

  Some might not like what happened but this is a HUGE part of the story of the books and is very very important for things to come. One rason why I LOVE GOT and The Witcher books is because they are very ADULT/MATURE oriented fantasy. The heros will not win every single time, it wont be a happy ending at the end of each season or episode,etc..

  Has to be the most moving episode of tv I have ever seen. I won't go to far into detail for those that are behind in the seasons, Ill just say make sure you watch this episode, was breathtaking.

  As I said to a friend who was really upset when Ned Stark died in season1/book1, if that really bothers you then this is not hte series for you, it is not happy endings everywhere you look, it is like real life, sometimes will be good some will be bad and some stuff will feel unfair.

   

  I was reading about the writer of the books and what he had to say about this part of book 3 and he said it was based on his and friends experiences with bad things happen to people they love and the feeling they got from that, mixed with some world history (last nights ep was based on some real life things that happened many many years ago, I wont go into detail as it will spoil things, but after you see the episode read up this, its veyr interesting).

  Anyways, amazing episode, moved my unlike any other episode of tv has ever done, wonderful cinema imo.

  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.
