In regards to the chain thing, I honestly think the Night King has some green seeing/warging abilities. I think this was all a big trap and he was trying to lure the dragons North. Trapping the gang on an island in the middle of the lake, taking his sweet time marching South, etc. The Night King has been doing an…

They burned his body so that he cannot be turned into one by the Night King, not because he will automatically turn into one.

No offense but you’re very wrong about this. Every undead thing is risen by a white walker. Hence the ending scene of this week’s episode?

maybe they grabbed the chains from the moored ships at hardhome

I think they did, isn’t that what he told Bran and Meera when he rescued them?

Something else I noticed in the “questions game” scene: Arya’s body language is exactly like Jaqen’s. She’s in total Faceless Mode.

I’m not sure that would have worked if Littlefinger saw Walder Frey following him around.

No, but it does add up.

Thank you, so much, for this article. I’m one of those black nerds who comes to Kotaku often to escape the absolute insanity of the country I live in, but I’m also one of those black citizens desperately searching for some way to make some kind of difference in the world. I want to do SOMETHING to improve this, but…

I really liked this article. I think it’s hugely important to here this from a video game reporter. It shows how widespread and long lasting the problem is and how we can’t just escape racism with entertainment all the time.

Now to wait for the “I’m not a racist but” burners and comments who’ll bang on about the 1st even though they clearly have no fucking idea what it actually means.

Antifa started around the Berkeley riots at the University last year. We need people like them on the front lines, fuck these white racist assholes.

Seriously. One of my kids asked about it so my husband and I looked it up. We were like....well, I guess this means our family is “antifa”?

That would be hilarious. Dany though is really on that “Bend the knee” trip.

I wouldn’t trust people not to throw the match on purpose if they were on the “fake” team mayo in a system like that.

Agreed with everything you said, especially with not having to wait in lobbies and getting the snails.

Splatfests are fair. The development team that created splatfests and the nintendo staff that reviews it as well as all the testers who played it all have common sense and did not come up with your imaginary “rigged contest” conclusion. If you know anything about math and creating a competitive point system in…

I’m not sure why people devolve into entitled children as soon as they “lose” a meaningless contest that was supposed to be a silly fun thing to partake in, but there you have it.

So, I don’t get why people are mad...

I never said it was rigged for the less popular team to win. I said it was designed to give an underdog a chance. Learn to read, dude.
