  • Re no guards, I’m guessing it’s a combination of

    • Ser Criston Cole putting guards in strategic locations to ensure he isn’t caught.

    • Larys Strong eliminating a handful of hand maids (and similar folk), replaced with his own. These new folks might not have the family in mind.

    • Kingsguard hanging out with King Aegon.

    • Overall not expecting an attack like this. Kings Landing is confident if attacked it will be via dragon.


  • Great cast. Writer seems capable. Director looks a little new when it comes to films, but solid foundation. We know Marvel is doing a soft reset when it comes to films/TV to give them the time we need.

    The early 2000 films were good, admittedly they are a product of their time and a little overly camp, but that was the style at the time.

    The later film was actually an ok film for he first 2/3rd and only after that, the ending, did it turn to shit.

    I have no reason to expect this film will be bad. Worst case is it will be whelming, but I expect a pretty solid film.





  • I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.

    I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).

    The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.

    I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.

    Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.
