Seaworth'sShipmate Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I found this funny video online. Its a bit NSFW, but I think people here can handle it (what with reading the books and all.) Its a video of what reading ASOIAF is like. I think this especially applies to AFFC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KocHhWTwMw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equilibrium Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Am I the only one who get filled with petty nerd rage when people call them the “Game of Thrones” books? Nope, I always thought it's universal. Personally I find it a great point to switch to the offensive and utterly discredit a person saying such nonsense :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlmaid Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Am I the only one who get filled with petty nerd rage when people call them the “Game of Thrones” books? You are not the only one. And yet I often find myself calling them that myself because whenever I say "I am currently reading the Das Lied von Eis und Feuer books." I am met with blank stares and confusion. I loved the video. Surprisingly accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly accurate. I’m a closet hipster, somewhere deep within my soul, so I actually prefer it when I say I’m reading A Song Of Ice and Fire and no one knows what I’m talking about. Then I don’t have to listen to them talking about how Tyrion is a pimp or how hot the dragon lady is, or whatever. I’m such a fucking snob, but I’m learning to embrace it. And also.. everything sounds so cool in German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But show and it's audience aside, Game of Thrones is so much better as a title, is absurd, it invokes dark and realistic atmosphere of struggle for power. A Song of Ice and Fire on the other hand invokes some high as sky fantasy bullshit with magic and legends and orphaned bastard boys becoming kings, which is not necessarily a bad thing but is inferior to the aforementioned scheming and plotting thing.

I disagree. I think A Song of Ice and Fire is far superior for the title of a series than A Game of Thrones, particularily this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t the whole point that the "game of throne” is a stupid distraction from the real danger (ice and fire)? Like when you read in the tWoW spoiler chapters that the Golden Company has landed in the Stormlands and they’re taking castles and burning crops and all you can think is “What! They’re destroying the food? Do they not know it’s winter?” I sometimes think that the choice of title for a certain piece of media *cough, cough* should have been the first red flag in terms of what that piece of media’s priorities would be.

Equilibrium Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I"m not saying which is more appropriate for the series, only which sounds more awesome and less like a cliché fantasy no. 7659 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.P. Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The video is 100 % true. And to think I thought I was the only one who felt like this. I thought I was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
