SO GOOD Mario Maker has to be one of the top 5 games released last year. Not even joking. I'd rate it even higher than that. Just watching that game is so awesome, to say nothing of actually making levels in it. So damn cool. Edit: Also, just started DS2 to try and catch up to 3, and Heidle's Tower of Flame is SUCH NOOB BAIT.
I would too, but I do take some credit away from it for being basically a toolbox and not having at least some kind of base mario game behind it, which I could see not being appealing to a lot of people.

Supposedly the creators have been told the rest of the story by GRRM himself in case this exact thing happened.
That said, everything that happened in tonights episode except one scene is past what's in book 5, so it's not so much a deviation as it is we don't fucking know if it's legit or not.

the book isn't written for this season yet. the writers got the general plot points from GRRM and then had to fill the scenes in themselves.

That logic doesn't seem to make sense when in prior seasons they completely changed shit. How is the general plot the same with things are so different?

They just adapt it to be more suitable for tv and add more shock factor for no reason.
When you realize you are only watching the show out of curiousity what happens because you watched earlier and don't really enjoy it unlucky

What made GoT good in the first place was never the explicit sexual content or the violence. It was the drama.
|
Yea spartacus had much better sexual content and violence

Sounds like typical HBO though. Boardwalk Empire had good stuff and a lot of gratuitious sex and gore in the opening seasons, it calmed down on that later, but the plot weakened significantly too. I finished it, well... so I'd finished it, but after the high of season 2, each subsequent one loses a bit more than the previous until the final one has about nothing left and serves as a reminder that the series was intended to be "the Nucky show."
Using the pretense of mentally ill/disturbed villains every time to create drama and spur (force) things into action, rehashed several times, was a big mistake of the show. A friend pointed out that "it's between the two wars, a bunch of characters are veterans, and a lot of that generation had PTSD and other issues to deal with after what they were confronted to", but the show uses it conveniently to not give compelling character to their villains instead of showing it.

Boardwalk S1-3 were really good I found. Way better than GoT but it fills a different niche. HBO should just do a Malazan series and adapt it fully. It'll be way better than silly GoT anyway. Although I may just cry myself into the wall with a live adapted deadhouse gates. Also feminists may go crazy over the genital stuff. Malazan also deals with aftermath of war/rape/mutilation etc. really well where as GoT just throws it in there for shock and nothing else.
edit: Ok maybe not really well but at least it Erikson tries to touch on it and it has tangible impact on the story years after events.
Black Company series would also be real cool if the whole world changed based on who was writing the chronicles. Think that'd be way too confusing for TV audience though.

So in sweden we have 4 types of yeast. dry and fresh, and for sweet and for savory. When do I use which?
|
s3 had a liked villain because he looked goofy.
But in the end he was just a looney who misundertood a few words and BOOM! war and gratuitious murders and violence. Also that dumb scene at the brothel.
Other than that s3 was pretty good. s5 was carried by a pair of characters and the actors of a few more, on the other hand, and by "carried" I mean "provided welcome relief from the blandness and mediocrity of the whole season."

The simple answer is, since GRRM is working with them, the things they cut in the show were plotlines which didn't really matter in the long run, or side stories which were pretty much self contained.
I find it unlikely that the books are going to have a completely different conclusion to the show, which kind of points to everything they chose to cut being expendable and filler arcs/characters :p
|
Well the exposes the second problem, do you believe GRRM has any idea how the story will end or where it's going? I kind of lost complete faith in the guy. It feels like he doesn't want to tell the story anymore and is just floundering around without much focus.
Then you have the whole issue with LittleFinger, Sansa, Dragon bitch, Midget man etc. where the shows plot is completely different so even if they end at the same conclusion the journey there will be completely different which changes how that conclusion feels.

"Active dry" is the standard packet yeast that you buy in a store keep in your fridge until use.
Fresh yeast you'll have to buy and then get into a starter quickly or it'll die and if you don't want a bucket of yeast slop growing in your pantry, skip it, and
The other yeasts i'm not quite sure what you mean by for sweet and for savory? There are yeasts meant for alcohol that are classified as sweet/savory, for making hard ciders or beers, but baking yeasts i'm unsure.
there is also "instant" yeast. which you actually need to use more of than active dry, and you have to change your resting times and stuff for it because it acts differently.

with Tyrion, GRRM agreed the show did his journey better, as his was offensive and he regrets writing it that way.

There is red yeast which is used in Asian cuisine-- red rice vinegar, Char Siu (barbecue) pork/ fish, Peeking duck, etc. It's kinda sweet.

Asmo you're gonna be blown away by DS3. So hard not to spoil the L O R E B O Y S but what I've seen 2/3rds into the game has me giddy.

Yay PX came through.
Also A NEW EXPANSION IS ALMOST UPON US BOYS
I expect pull stats and pics tomorrow.
I think it was determined that you are guaranteed at least 1 Legendary per 40 packs so there's even hope for you Jerff.

Yes your pity pack timer guarantees a legendary by your 40th pack of the same set*
*or the chance is astronomically low and you'll get it next pack...
