To be fair, I think there have been dafter succession decisions in history. Bran being elected King makes sense insofar as he's the least objectionable to the other Lords and the fact he can't have children means that other noble families could have a shot at kingship when he passes. It also...

It's been suggested to me that the white horse Arya finds could be Bran warging it, coming to help his sister. Also, death rides a white horse, so it's a nice symbolic touch there and a bit of an obvious clue about what Arya's going to do next. Whilst I don't find Dani's actions especially...

You can really tell they're running out of episodes here. Things are being skimmed over, like Bronn waltzing into the tavern to confront Jamie and Tyrion without any build-up or explanation as to how some bloke armed with a crossbow could simply walk right up to the Queen's senior advisor and...

After some thought I actually think it's more likely Jamie will survive the battle- I suspect the writers will want to have him kill Cersei at least. Thoughts on this chart anyone? I actually think Sam will survive, as it's already been heavily suggested earlier in the series that he...

I'm hoping that he's able to live up to his title of Kingslayer by killing the Night King, I don't expect him to live though.

I agree with the general sentiment that the show peaked round about the time of the Red Wedding, and that out running the book probably has a lot to do with it. However, the show is still good- the acting and production values are great and the writing is still pretty decent. Basically it's gone...

I'd suggest that economic insecurity could be a factor. A number of young people aren't in stable, secure jobs, as evidenced by the rise of the 'gig economy' and working poverty. I think being in this situation demotivates a number of men (not all mind) in pursuing relationships. I also don't...

I've not really met any Rick and Morty fans who wouldn't agree Rick is an arsehole- the whole point about his character is you have someone who is so intelligent he can overcome anything but is limited by having a terrible personality and making bad decisions which harm others. If he was a good...

If you re-gain health by summoning help from squad mates and health packs you carry it sounds like a good idea. This seems like a Call of Duty title we're you're going to have to be a bit more tactical rather than run-and-gun all over the place. This looks positive, as long as it's not a case of...

I think non-Americans are fine playing American-focused war games- the early Medal of Honour games and Wolfestein games were you tend to only see and play as Americans were both successful. Vietnam would have been a good choice IMO, everyone around the world has some familiarity and sense of...

If I were to choose one, it would be Uhtred of Bebbenburg from the Warlord Series. However, I've also enjoyed reading about the antics Darien Frey (Ketty Jay novels regarding the adventures of steampunk airship pirates) Harry Flashman and Captain Haddock. On film and TV, I like loads of...

Thanks for posting this. I started playing this and It took me a few seconds to realise what the song was and the eventual realisation was wonderfully nostalgic. In the same vein as above, I present:

Given the lyrical content of Rammstein songs I'd be cautious if reciting Rammstein songs to random strangers in the street- they might think you're weird or call the police! Many of the students in my high school German class were Rammstein fans, which the teacher didn't really approve off...

When I was in Uni I used to live with a creative writing major. He told me that they weren't necessarily recommended to read books whilst on the course because other peoples work may make you want to go back and change your writing from your original work. I do think though that in order to...

Thanks for the tip. It's a game that certainly benefits from mod support. Another good one I like is the 'social engineering' mod that does away with the virtues tree and instead gives you more detailed way of shaping your civilisation, so you can role-play it as anything from, say, a socialist...
