It is absolutely creepy, I feel because she's taking such delight in annihilating Robert's line. She hates him just so much she'll sleep with him just to have that moment of joy as she scoops it all out and destroys it.

Ughhhh.
I thought it was somewhat less gross than that, in that Robert was always so drunk that she'd pull off and finish with her hand.

I just spent the last five minutes researching the length of Robert's reign and calculating how many times he could have painted Cersei's face with his issue assuming one ejaculation per day, you bastard.

Cersei says he only 'claimed his rights' infrequently.

Seems about right for a man of Robert's famed horniness.

One ejaculation a day for Robert "The Only Man to Make the Eight Concurrently During a Perfect Week" Baratheon? Preposterous. Most of them just weren't with Cersei. I mean, the dude beat it like three times during the Battle of the Trident in full armor. That's dedication, homes.

Robert Baratheon could easily ejaculate 5 times a day. 2 for whores, 1 for noble ladies, 1 for himself, 1 for Cersei.

By my calculations, given whore population and gestation periods, this means he has 1,200 bastards, and, as written, Cersei ate 10,000 princes.

GRRM did his homework. :stare:

So Alec Meer reviews the Game of Thrones RPG. And it's actually a surprisingly positive review. Main quotes and bits I just found mildly amusing follow:

quote:

It goes on far too long, seems to reach a climactic conflict repeatedly but then pull back from it in favour of more stringing along and treats its characters as utterly disposable. In other words, it’s faithful to the source material in an intrinsic way, not merely a stylistic one. Cyanide’s Game of Thrones: The Roleplaying Game is a slow-burner with a deeply awkward opening and besieged by footballer in a pizza advert levels of voice-acting, but it builds carefully, cleverly and dramatically.

quote:

stealth missions starring a psychic dog
SOLD

quote:

Critically, their tale...is compelling. That it achieves this despite being often undermined by voice acting your mum could do a better job of deserves a standing ovation.

quote:

the supporting cast, the assorted soldiers, thugs and civilians of Westeros, are too often atrocious...The vast majority sound like they’re recording a video telling their parents that everything is fine and they’ve being taken good care of while their kidnapper holds a gun to their heads.

quote:

How many times has that big beardy tease taken us to the very brink of key characters meeting or reuniting, only to (often brutally) pull the rug out from under them? To its eternal credit, [the game] realises we really do deserve this pay-off.
tl;dr on combat: surprisingly good, although the energy bar is a bit too restrictive and you've got a bit of a repetition problem. Despite that it's better than, say, Dragon Age's, much leass if they had tried a hack'n'slash approach.

quote:

it’s a troubled roleplaying game but also a really interesting and strong one. Every misfire is met by a triumph of some sort, and the one thing it is not is a lazy, perfunctory cash-in.

Also, the bit you all care about, Gurm's virtuoso performance as a Maester:

quote:

his acting is on a par with his respect for deadlines.

That's Roy Dotrice, correct? He sounds like he's not too fond of reading these scenes. Perhaps his mental image of GRRM squirming in his sofa while writing is too vile to contemplate overlong.

I'm pretty sure that's just how Roy Dotrice sounds.

e: Also, a request for sex scenes already on the show, or at least that don't spoil any plot elements in the show (so one of Tyrion's Shae scenes would be alright). I'd like to expose some show-watcher friends of mine to this.

Dotrice did go back and record for AFFC, though. Perhaps a comparison could be made of both renditions of "Fat Pink Mast"?

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from

You should do one of these with a Reek scene.

Any scene will do, really, but the Reek/Jeyne Poole one would probably work best.

Oddly enough, after hearing this I found the creepiest part to be Gilly's "I am your wife,now". Sam's fat pink mast should've retracted instantaneously after hearing that.
