maybe watching a desperate, balls-to-the-wall fight to the death between two groups of doomed, forgotten men can be an interesting change of pace from a bunch of rich, silk-wearing assholes sip wine and contemplate how to best manipulate a 12-year-old.

before anybody gets on Janos Slynt's case, know full well that he was ready to kill that baby if shit went down. it's what he does best.

or maybe drop a barrel of flaming oil and let them get stampeded by a mammoth.

there's a Game of Thrones wiki that, as far as I know, manages to play it safe.

I was going to say something there too. thought i was going crazy.

Lord Humungous loves Dawes, and here's why you should, too.

Zach Lowe wrote a pretty telling story about Jackson. Apparently Jackson tried to fire Brian Scalabrine, without cause, in front of all the players during a practice. The other assistant who was caught recording conversations was allegedly doing so because he had heard that Jackson was badmouthing him to other sources…

Christ, remember when everyone was in love with the inverted-W? I'm pretty sure every top young pitcher who used it had some kind of major surgery.

Rany Jazayerli called last year's Braves "the self-appointed Knights Templar of baseball's unwritten rules," which is the best possible description of them.

because there were about 400 people there?

the impression I've been getting was that Jackson was standoffish with the front office and a total asshole to his assistants — he was probably really insecure about his job.

oh, man. that look he shoots to Cunningham when the Iron Bank first declines, the one that says, "i can't believe you dragged me out here for this. you'd better have something up your sleeve," was one of those excellent little wordless moments you don't see on too many shows.

I'm pretty sure every decision he's made with regards to Jon Snow has backfired. it's probably not a good sign when your closest ally and advisor is that chubby fuck from the City Watch.

so "the greatest fire the North's ever seen" is just code for "Vancouver after the Canucks lose in the playoffs"?

don't forget Yoren!

may he always be remembered for his hard-hitting coverage of the manhunt of the Boston Marathon bombers: https://twitter.com/piersmo…

no, what I'm saying is that Manning has a checkered history in big games. it's like people in 1993 arguing that the Bills' experience will be what pushes them past the Cowboys.

so, three of those bounced off the receiver's hands, one happened when the intended receiver fell down, and two were on Hail Mary plays. what's your point?

"Key factor: Manning's experience"

S+O was probably designed more for co-op (like the Gargoyles were), but is perfectly winnable solo if you're patient enough. outside of the DLC I can't think of a boss that will punish you more for being greedy. everything after that fight (DLC aside) seems so underwhelming by comparison.
