Perhaps, perhaps not. The bow Ramsay used was a compound bow of some strength; the arrows traveled fast and were powerful enough to punch through a metal shield. Even if it was slower than a bullet by a 100 miles per hour, given the state of Rickon’s slow run, I don’t think it would have made a difference.

Something to add: Interestingly, a study has already been made regarding zigzagging versus straight line. Zigzagging confers a slight advantage, but only just. If you have weak ankles or are wearing heavy clothing (such as armor), it can hamper you. If Rickon had weak ankles (such as from malnutrition) or those furs…

Okay, let’s take this analogy and put it into present day. How many criminals run zigzag away from cops shooting at them? When the panic hits, people run straight, and going zigzag isn’t on their minds unless they’ve had some training.

Even accounting for his age (in the beginning of the books he’s around 3. By the time of this event he should be around five or six. But in the show he’s 8 in the beginning, maybe 12-14 now), he has gone through some significant sh!t by this time. Consider:

He’s been on the run since the fall of Winterfell, hunted by…

Here are my favorites:

I personally think that any person found guilty of sending a threat like this should be banned from the game of their affection for life. They need the ultimate time-out for their asinine, entitled little tantrum.

I’m 43 years old, have been playing video games for most of those years and have made friends both in and out of Gamer Gate. I have seen the reddit forums where they post their arguments, been to the websites where they post images of their evidence, and debated with supporters.

Part of me wishes I never did, but part…

Here’s another great video explaining how to fuel a rocket in space:

Hey there!

If you’re earnest in seeking answers, then some of these videos might provide a better explanation to your questions:

On Physics and Newton’s Third Law:

Yep. So the second body can be thought of as those particles leaving the exhust nozzle. So if we broke things down:

First body: Exhaust nozzle.
Second body: Particle stream.

The particles themselves don’t do much on an individual basis, but as they are ejected the multitudes of them provide momentum to move the first…

Newton’s Third Law:

That. Was. Hilarious. Thanks for the share!

Perhaps this will lend a “true feeling” moment to an otherwise funnies podcast. When you can talk truly about someone or something you’ve loved, it creates a much deeper connection with others who share your view (or might open a connection, if the listener has no history with the subject). It might be something you…

Well... if you compare the two, the game models show an actual butt crack (sexualizing an otherwise non sexual image), whereas the cosplay model does not (actual physiology). Therein lies the difference.

Absolutely this. I can’t understand why it’s so important for some people to get ahead of others while on the road.

Case in point: On an extremely rainy day, coming home from work, a guy was tailgating me during the traffic commute home. There was traffic in front of me, to my sides, it wasn’t like I could pull to the…

I used to work for a lady who could qualify for Cat Lady of the Year, though she also had poodles running rampant through her office along with parrots flying around without cages. It seemed like a great environment at the time, until she encouraged me to eat some snacks on her desk. After helping myself, I noticed my…

I’m certain there’s a special kind of hell for people who wished that “they could play their MMO of choice 24/7" and then got exactly what they wanted. This is an example of just such a poor unfortunate soul.

From an architectural point of view, I can see why they did this. It’s an attempt to make the stadium friendly to city dwellers when it’s not football season. The artificial waterfront can be used to entertain or serve as a “cheap” beach getaway for residents close to the site without having to actually open up the…

Through my Christian friend, I know a lot of 20-30 somethings who are extremely attractive, athletic, careered, humorous and well educated. And well traveled too (mainly due to missionary work).

“Corrupting” them would be fun for me, but having been one of them prior to my mid 20's, I hate to see people lose their…

$18 bucks is about the same as a movie these days. It’s about the same as two meals at a diner, or one appetizer at a fancy restaurant. Each of those things engages you for less than 2-3 hours, so I’d say Firewatch is a fair deal, especially since after buying it you could always replay it.
