Ah true enough. Still, when conquest = throne, legitimacy becomes a silly fiction (albeit very important to those with claims of legitimacy).

I genuinely can't conceive any plausible argument for Stannis allowing Shireen to be sacrificed. He doesn't particularly believe in the Red God — certainly not enough to burn his daughter — and he's obsessed with duty. Would a father's duty not outweigh his "kingly" duty? I mean, yeah, he was willing to sacrifice…

And the Targaryens took the throne from whoever held it before. This whole question of legitimacy is stupid.

You know, wouldn't you, if you could?

Plus, no more functioning on fewer than five hours of sleep. I mean, you'll still do it, but you won't truly be functional the next day. Before 30, I could grab a couple hours' sleep then hop up and write a thesis; when I try that now, I can't even figure out how to turn on my computer.

Sometimes I'll go back and play The Legend of Zelda, or Adventures of Link, or Link to the Past and wonder how I ever figured it out the first time around. I have a shitty memory and so literally don't remember the experience of playing them as a kid, but all the stuff that must have been a bitch to figure out at the…

Four kids! Jesus Christ!*

Happy (late) Birthday!

I disagree. If you think that gaming is as acceptable a hobby as reading or watching movies or, I don't know, golf or whatever,* then I think it's fine for the adults in the family to be as into it as the kids. No one should be so into that (s)he neglects relationships, of course. But like you wouldn't say, "You read…

I've been replaying Final Fantasy XII for the last week or so, and I forgot what a great game it is. I have a vague memory of the storyline not really stretching far enough to cover the whole game (and am starting to see some signs of that now that the glowy-eyed Orko dudes have shown up), but I don't really care. The…

It won't let me sign up to vote because it says my zip code is unrecognized. I had a small existential crisis wherein I Googled my own address to verify that I haven't gone insane. I have not. I KNOW MY OWN ZIP CODE, CBS!

Are you little bunny Fu Fu?

God damnit, I had managed to forget the amount of money that Wilson interception cost me until just now. I'm the true victim of Deflategate.

Maybe Mike is Bronn? Bronn always seems to be having a great time.

The rest of your group steals it anyway, and the dude still blames you.

Maybe it'll turn out that the zombie virus can't be spread cross-species (like the rat contracted it from the concoction, but a rat can't zombify a human)? I just don't see a lot of value in making Ravi a zombie.

Well, going with Jane was better than being alone with that damned baby, anyway.

But why? Maybe I don't remember season 1 well enough, but I just didn't feel some deep, mystical connection with Kenny. Okay, I met him once and traveled with him for awhile, and he was kind of an asshole. Now he's an unstable crazy person unhealthily fixated on me and this baby. I'll admit making it all the way to…

Oh I was so upset about that. I can't get rid of the ticking time bombs that are Kenny and this fucking baby, but Luke, oh Luke just goes through the ice and nothing I can do about it. Damn you, game!

Luke: "All you other grown ass adults stay here. I'm going to scout ahead with Clem."
