Thanks

Got it, thanks.

I'm a Hearthstone newb, so sorry for the dumb question — but why does silencing his own Ragnaros guarantee 8 damage to the face? Doesn't silencing Ragnaros take away his 8-dmg auto-fireball?

Instinctually I agree with you and feel the same way but... WHY is it a bad thing if Benedict shacks up with a 20-something? If both people love each other, what's the problem?

The audio is really lacking IMHO, from what I've seen. On top of the lack of any real ambient sounds like you say, the gun sounds are horrible. Just don't have the appeal and "cooL' sounds that even the Call of Duty series has (especially Modern Warfare).

I agree — that scene between Oberyn & Tyrion in the jail cell was just pure emotion & rawness. Both of them in tears, both of them recognizing they share a common purpose. And a triumphant realization at the end of the scene, with the stirring music!

I think there were rumors that the two of them dated after filming that movie. Not sure if it ever truly happened, but I choose to believe they did. Their chemistry was incredible!

Does anybody know what the punishment was if you were convicted of oral or anal sex in Alabama?

You're totally right — but unfortunately, most men don't understand this. Especially not the execs & producers who make movies & tv shows. What REALLY needs to change is to have many more women in executive, production & creative roles. That's the only way this will happen IMHO.

Yep. As GRRM said himself, little changes in the show leads to huge changes later on. It's like a ripple effect — and not necessarily for the better. Sometimes for the worse.

Umm, did you miss the part where Shae LIED on the stand at the trial to sentence Tyrion to death? And the fact that she betrayed Tyrion with her father? Which reveals that she had been lying all along to Tyrion?

Remember when Davos was mentioning the Golden Company to Stannis a few episodes ago? And them getting that massive loan from the Iron Bank? Just imagine lots of money hiring lots of mercenary companies, plus whatever army Stannis had remaining after the Blackwater.

On the show they are closer than ever it seems — Jaime gives him a kiss, and Tyrion thanks him for saving his life. In the books however, the situation is virtually the exact opposite. They depart on brutal terms, Tyrion hits Jaime and lies that he killed Joffrey (out of frustration & anger).

They really dated? I thought they were just friends... wow

I was thinking that it was entirely appropriate to ask about what sex (and love) feels like... when you know you're going to die imminently. It's at times like those when thoughts of love are PARAMOUNT, and when you cherish them the most!

I'm actually all for banning men, at least as a test. I've always wondered how a female-only society would thrive, without the ego & testosterone-fuelled aggression of men — which usually manifests itself as violence and other bad social behaviours.

Poaching as a whole won't truly end until deep, old, cultural beliefs & values change. Just look at how difficult it is to convince the Japanese to stop whaling. Killing a few poachers here & there won't end the practice.

I discovered (unfortunately too late in life) that there are some people on this planet who have absolutely no compassion or empathy. And that's for other humans - if you're talking about animals, it's even worse. Unfortunate fact of life. :(

If there's anything like a major, unkillable character in Game of Thrones, Daenarys would be it. :) So I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon hehe. Even if I do agree her storylines are the weakest.

Odd, I felt that same way about Ygritte instead, and I was crushed. My sympathies for Ygritte are 1000x stronger than Jon Snow's. To see all her hopes & dreams end in that one final moment was tragic!
