If Game of Thrones Was a Romantic Comedy


This has to be one of the most unique Youtube videos I've seen in awhile. Someone has taken Season 2 footage from Game of Thrones and created "Game of Thrones: a Westeros Rom-Com." This is completely accurate of the state of romantic comedies today. We meet the girl, the boy, and the problem as to why they may or may not end up together. It's a very short clip, but well worth watching! Oh, and the theme song is "Call Me Maybe." You really can't get better than that.

Shadowy New Trailer for Game of Thrones Season 2 is Released

You can find this post at Word of the Nerd.

 
With just over two months until the season premier of Game of Thrones Season 2, fans are chomping at the bit to get another glimpse at the series. A few days ago, HBO released a "Notes From the Set" video highlighting the filming locations and set design of the latest season of Game of Thrones.  A new teaser for the second season, which is based on the second book of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, was posted tonight on the Game of Thrones Facebook page.



Lord Varys tells Tyrion Lannister that "A very small man can cast a very large shadow," as we see bits and pieces of what is to come in Season 2. Like all good teasers, however, it doesn't reveal too much information. I haven't finished "A Clash of Kings", but I have a feeling that this season we'll see a heroic side of Tyrion, who is portrayed by the award-winning Peter Dinklage. Daenerys Targaryen is sure to make a fiery arrival in Westeros.

Game of Thrones makes its return to HBO on April 1. Until then, enjoy the Game of Thrones comic!

Explore history of Westeros in A Game of Thrones: Genesis



Yesterday, George R. R. Martin put up a post on his blog entitled "A Taste of Cyanide." It detailed the new fantasy strategy game being released by Cyanide Studios based on the lore of A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones: Genesis, which is set to release on September 28, immerses the player in conflicts and intrigue between the Houses of Westeros. The game allows players to take different avenues to claiming power: economic, militaristic, or political, with many choices allowing you to complete your goal. More info and teaser trailer after the break!
