Since the first season of Game of Thrones I gradually started to see everything a little bit differently. How much more interesting would life in Westeros have been if there was a little bit of modern social tech involved? I mean let’s think about it. How are you going to get the message to all the lords of the land that the King that sits on the throne has an illegitimate claim? Ravens? Seriously? All things considered, I guess that was the “tweet” equivalent in the show – using a bird to blast your small scroll of a message to a bunch of people at once.

Now the scrolls are just restricted to 140 characters. Just ask Stannis Baratheon.

So below I took a look at Season 5 thus far through the lens of the tech geek. How might these conversations have gone with some of that modern tech spin? Take a look at the gallery and see for yourself (13 photos).

New Star Wars Trilogy in the Works

by Leia Calderon on February 13, 2018

News broke on Tuesday that Game of Thrones showrunners, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss will be producing a new Star Wars trilogy to mixed reactions

A Game of Thrones. A book, a show, and to some… a religion. A religion whose deity (George R. R. Martin) rarely grants you new passages in your holy book. But when he does, festivals are thrown. Virgins are sacrificed. And then more is demanded.

My goal is to summarize the Game of Throne characters with a couple of memes. Spoilers ahead, herp derp.

So this time let’s talk about Daenarys Targaryen, because 1) She is hot 2) She has dragons 3) If one and two didn’t do it for you then I don’t know what will. Her house is a bit more interesting than the others, especially since most people around her die pretty rapidly, but also because she is surrounded by megalomaniacs and weirdos even more than the rest of the cast.

She does tend to be a one-note song from time to time though….

But when they ARE on-screen they look great

Ser Jorah Mormont is one of those characters where one meme sums it up quite nicely.

Ya just start to feel bad for the guy eventually.

Now to her badass husband… Khal Drogo. Who starts off as the ultimate bro.

And he eventually becomes a bit classier… by ripping a dudes tongue out.

Yep. There’s that tongue I was talking about.

Andddddddd then he dies like a fool.

Daenarys’ brother, Viserys, is about as smart as… you know what? Here.

He never is as stoic as this makes him look. Imagine much whinier.

See? Whiny.

He’s also kind of a dick.

And he makes annoying faces all the time.

How’d all that turn out for him?

There are a couple honorable mentions that go out to this guy.

And Doreah… simply cause she is really, really hot. Or was…. =(

This isn’t a meme. So sue me.

Well that’s all for this time. I hope you are enjoying the show and the books. I think next time I will just cover interesting, minor characters.

Crysis 2 and Syndicate Writer Richard Morgan Launches New Dark Fantasy Gamebook

by Kimi Britt on November 6, 2015

Richard Morgan’s ‘A Land Fit for Heroes’ is out now on Mobile with a dizzying plot and grim anti-heroes for those who are ready to embrace all that is dark and violent in the fantasy genre.

A Game of Thrones. A book, a show, and to some… a religion. A religion whose deity (George R. R. Martin) rarely grants you new passages in your holy book. But when he does, festivals are thrown. Virgins are sacrificed. And then more is demanded.

Still over half a year until season 3 starts….

So until season 3 comes around and we all go ape shit crazy over it, I will continue my quest of summing up all of the main Game of Thrones characters with a couple of memes. Today will be dedicated to the Lannisters. Ohhhhhhhhh the Lannisters…. They are almost designed for awesome memes.

Hell Yes

First up. Jaime Lannister.

You won’t get this joke unless you actually paid attention during the show (Or just read the books)

Did…. knights have highlights?

Or so I hear

Who should follow Jaime but his “loving” sister, Cersei Lannister.

A favorite of mine… despite the misspelling of “enjoyed”

Well she’s gotta get laid somehow, jeez

What cousin does that meme refer to? Well, Lancel Lannister of course. Well known for being a total bitch in the show.

You only need this meme to sum up Lancel.

You can’t forget Jaime and Cersei’s father, Tywin Lannister, who is actually pretty awesome.

And saving the best two Lannister’s for last we have; Joffrey Lannister…. I mean Baratheon. But… youuuu knowwwww

Pretty much sums it up

AND EVERYONE’S FAVORITE!! GIVE A WARM WELCOME AND A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR TYRIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LANNISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

True story bro

Well that’s it for the house of Lannister. Next time I will be covering Daenerys Targaryen and Company.

A Game of Thrones. A book, a show, and to some… a religion. A religion whose deity (George R. R. Martin) rarely grants you new passages in your holy book. But when he does, festivals are thrown. Virgins are sacrificed. And then more is demanded.

Luckily for me, I was watching the show instead of reading the books (hold off on nerd raging me for just a moment). I just finished season 2. And now I demand more.

So now…. I shall begin reading the books. And along my journey I shall keep a diary of my thoughts and feelings in an attempt to be humorous, thoughtful, and so inspiring you name your first child after me. I will compare my high expectations with the reality of the pages put before me. I… have a dream!

But until then, let me use the power of internet memes to summarize my thoughts on Game of Thrones characters. I will attempt to summarize a character with two memes or less if possible.

Obviously, there will be spoilers. If you don’t like spoilers then I assure you that you are an idiot if you keep reading without reading or watching the show first.

First up is Ned Stark……..

So he deserved three for being Sean Bean. And we all know Sean Bean is awesome at dying.

Next up is his loving wife, Catelyn Stark, that likes to do things that make me angry.

Followed by Ned Stark’s bastard son, Jon Snow.

And their tomboy daughter, Arya Stark.

And another Stark, Sansa Stark. Yeah, there are a lot of little Stark’s.

You can’t forget the Stark’s oldest son, Robb (with two B’s, because it makes sense?). Robb unfortunately has a bad habit of his fathers….

Bran Stark, who has quite an unfortunate series of events.

And easily the most important character in all of the show…. *drumroll please* Rickon Stark, ladies and gentlemen!!

And that sums it up for the House of Stark! Next time I’ll do the House of Lannister. That’ll be a fun one.
