(Click for full size.) Discuss.

I personally feel as if the Xbone should be Gurm himself, but Hodor might make a fair stand-in.

So PC's will be shot with a crossbow bolt on the toilet
PS4's will be viciously stabbed by its friends
Wii U will poo poo everywhere all over a field
Xbox One will travel with a young child to the frozen north to meet a powerful wizard

Is that what this is saying?

They removed all rules. The first few weeks were pretty rough, and if you go in there you should maybe turn off sigs because the fyad/fyadlite tradition of colossal, ugly signatures migrated to GBS as well.

It's not as serious anymore, but it's still just as unfunny as ever.

Sigs were never on for me. Huh... weird. Yeah, well at least the Abe gets Owned thread was a good read.

Maybe the show is pointing out that Jaime IS a child killer and rapist, and always has been.
When was he a rapist in the books? Or I don't know, maybe I missed something. Doesn't matter anyway since the show ruined it.

Kafka Esq. posted:

Think he's saying that this sex scene we're all talking about was a rape regardless of how Cersei acted in the book.

I guess I didn't notice it as much because it was like two sentences rather than a full-on scene. It's lovely, but it didn't seem as rapey to me at the time. To be honest, in the book it seemed more like she was saying 'no' due to the location. Not 'no, I don't want to do this right now period' like in the show.

Joramun posted:

Nevermind that he pushed an 8-year-old child out of a window right in the pilot, now all of a sudden he's a bad guy who one surely wouldn't want to be associated with.

The difference was that he was at least on the path to redemption after that point.

Eh, fair enough points. Either way, the show did it way shittier. I mean when you handle something less-tactfully than Gurm, there's something wrong with you.

Hi everyone. Contra here. Haven't posted in a long-rear end time but here is a GURM picture:



The caption reads: "I like my cheese tacos and my icecold coke. In Westeros, someone like me wouldn't survive for long."

It's from the German political magazine Der Spiegel, from the 10th November 2014 issue where they have an interview with him.

I could translate the full article if anyone wants.
