Yup, pretty much every “was THIS your card?” trick is fundimentally the same just with different layers of pazzaz on it. It’s mechanically the same regardless of if you pull the card from the pack, an apple, or have a 20 ft high version hung from a building behind you.

Well, you can get books which are games so that idea is hardly absurd, but I’m not talking about background details or easter eggs, I’m talking about how the bulk of the narrative is presented as a something to be solved, not something to have presented to you. The whole thing is effectively a puzzle.

I think every version is the extended version now so you’re probably good. :)

See I find this argument very in odd regards to Gone Home in particular, it’s a mystery point and click (yes, its presented in first person, but think of it in P&C terms and a lot of what it does is pretty familiar) and is pretty clearly a game as far as I can see, I mean it isn’t Proteus or Mountain or any number of…

IIRC they made the first demo for Gone Home using the engine Frictional developed for the Amnesia games, they definitely like and know horror games even if they don’t make them themselves.

Why not both? Miss Teen Republican!

I think Sansa’s big lesson from Littlefinger is that it’s much better being a puppet master than a puppet, she’s where she wants to be (and so should Jon be tbh, he’s awful at making desisions and hopefully knows it at this point).

And how! Turns out what Dorne needed was an audience surrogate to tell all the sand snakes to stfu.

Mutually assured destruction is looking like a pretty good option at the moment.

Whilst I appreciated Yara’s casual lesbianism last week, it couldn’t help but feel a little like a work around to avoid dethroning Olyvar from his position as (apparently) the universe’s only male prostitute.

I’m hoping the “rumour” that Qyburns little birds have found is a flaw in the High Sparrow, and not one he can hand-wave with a waffle about how penitent he is. (Mind you I also hoped that Arya acting weird last week would have a payoff this week sooo...)

“Make a small boy travel at speed toward a solid object” does seem to be Jaime’s...oddly specific, way of showing his love.

I’m just glad there wasn’t a “Don’t say your favourite song is a b-side” because I’d be stuffed.

That’s a great video to watch the “making of” for, after that you can really notice how visisbly please he is that he’s finally nailed the take and can go home now.

I feel like season 1 was accidentally beamed in from another, better, universe and 2 and 3 are from when someone readjusted the transmitter.

Pat Mustard must be doing his round again...

My main take away from the trailer was “this is exactly the length it needs to be” fun, but I’m not watching it for 95 minutes.

Even if Italy did exist and even if Spain didn’t control half of it...
