@surlysmiles Why would reading any of those books affect anything having to do with my opinion on GoT? And just because I didn't bother to articulate it in this thread doesn't mean my opinion is unfounded - and It's ok yours doesn't mean particularly much to me either.

But while we're naming books I'll go ahead and name several Fantasy series that I think are much better.

Riftwar Saga by Feist

Rigante series by Gemmel

Even Sword of Truth manages to be more interesting than this.

First of it was LotR - now GoT - beginning to wonder if the mainstream media will ever pick something that is actually good from this genre - and manage to make a respectable adaptation in the process.

@Scarab83 Your opinion on my opinion means less than crap to me "bro," and is a good deal more worthless. Thanks for commenting.

Game of Thrones is sooo overrated. I'll watch the show and play the game - but never will I read the books. Way better fantasy novels out there than this.

Combat was way too easy - way too many sidequests and not enough main quest.

Sucks they're going out of business though - ouch.

Nice review score - wonder how much Rockstar paid for it.

The reason we haven't seen alien life is because there's waaay too much distance between star systems - FTL is probably impossible - even if it is possible (which it may not be) - the chances of a race dying off before they can invent it is just way to high. We are all just byproducts of a inter-galactic ping-pong game - our lifespans are so brief it's ridiculous - we're lucky to even exist at all - forget about doing things that are completely impossible.

Was this article supposed to have a point - or was it just supposed to tell me a bunch of things I already knew - just to give me some meaningless %$&# to read before D3's launch date.

That was... underwhelming...
