Skewered And Roasted Card Game Review

I'm so excited!  I just received my Skewered and Roasted card game in the mail.  I ordered it via Amazon, and I received it just in time for a family reunion.  Of course, we waited until the kiddies were all asleep.  I had played this game before at a friend's house and thought that this was just the thing for my family's sense of humor.  What can I say?  We just love ribbing each other.

We played for nearly three hours before calling it quits.  Everybody got a few good digs in, and the cards were really funny and led to a few moments to reminisce about some of our less than stellar moments.  We were kind of shocked that some of the older folk stuck around.  We were all trying not to snicker when mom asked clarification on the meaning of a "shart" or "dingleberries".  Dont worry!  She was pre-warned about the contents, but was a good sport through it all.

As I thought, my family thoroughly enjoyed the game!  For people with the right sense of humor, this is the perfect game for you.

To Switch Blogging Platform or Not?

It's sometimes hard to decide whether or not I'm going to migrate from Blogspot to another blogging platform. First of all, I love blogspot but I feel like I'm compelled to write lengthy posts here. That's nothing like I've experienced with Tumblr.

That sketchy blogging platform however tends to get too cramped up sometimes especially in the dashboard and I tend to spend my time just hitting the heart button which is addictive. It's as though I'm on Facebook or Instagram. I'm not really sure about this now. 

I'll probably still keep this blogspot for this project. But maybe I can transfer my other blogs on Tumblr. Maybe blogspot is only good for people whose content needs to be indexed by google. Probably for ranking and all that shit. But Tumblr, using hashtags, it can get you out there!

Here's a random GOT meme for added relevance.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Teaser

I just had to friggin post this teaser! I know I haven't caught up yet with all the reviews I was supposed to make for this blog but I can't wait for the 6th fucking season of Game of Thrones.

This teaser however doesn't contain anything we haven't seen before. But it's interesting for HBO to drop a hint to where the next season is going. It's a collage of all the deaths and memorable scenes that happened in season 5. Watch now!

I'm excited to see Bran Stark again!

 

Reviews Will Return Soon

So apparently this project is a big failure...or is it? I've been meaning to write reviews of every episode of Game of Thrones but sadly, I had to deal with life in general. School had prevented me from getting back into Blogging and now that my studying is over I have work. Those are all blessings which I'm really grateful about so I will still continue this when I have the time. Will probably include other topics but I can't promise I won't be talking about life in General. I've been offered to publish other stuff too which I think is good. But since this blog is especially dedicated to Game of Thrones, I'll try to be very relevant. That's all for now!

Almost Golden! - A Golden Crown Review

Game of Thrones is perhaps the best show that aired in the history of television. In just a matter of 5 episodes on its First Season, the show was able to pull off a gigantic web of stories coming from different angles and perspective with a nature of uncertainty to the fate of its characters.

The only thing I'm certain about for this show is that I'm hooked to it. Yes, I can say that now. As with the other TV shows I've spent sleepless nights to, I judged this show based on its first five episodes to see if it sticks with me or not. Apparently, the odds were high that I'd stick to it given the show's production value alone. But my words don't end on the fifth of things.

In fact, this is just the beginning! So, after the maddening final scenes of 'The Wolf and the Lion', the sixth episode starts with wordy exchanges between the Hand and the King. From there we can breathe again and worry about the conflicts budding in the tents of Dothraki's - perhaps with a heart- gobbling Danaerys Targaryen in the center of it. Meanwhile, the little imp held capture by the Tully Sisters fights for his freedom with a new character that spells unpredictable and bad-ass. To when the show will stop introducing characters as deux ex machina I don't know. But given the poetic death of Jory, it is only welcome that someone on the other side of the realm gets his own squire or assistant - whatever!

Still with the Lannisters, Joefrey abruptly changes his pads and smoothtalks the ever gullible Sansa. Honestly, these two characters are written rather poorly or was it because they're teenagers and teenagers tend to change their minds so easily? Well whatever it is, it's frustrating because the actions of these two main characters will really put a dent to the story. The romance is just too forced!

It's good that this episode centers on the bursting jealousy of Viserys to his sister. Despite being a two-deminsional white haired ass, Visery's character was solidly written and nicely portrayed. His imprudence paralleled with Ned Stark's audacity however drastic. Both plotlines were so dangerously delicious with Ned realizing the truth and Visery's never realizing how pain in the ass he is.

What started off as an imbalanced mess ended with a draconian death of which the "No Dragon" rightly deserves. The last few minutes of 'A Golden Crown' was pure gold but the events in Vale of Arryn falls flat that it couldn't save this episode from getting an average score of 3/5.

Savage - The Wolf and the Lion Review

Before I decided to dedicate a blog chronicling my thoughts on each episode of the Game of Thrones, I braved myself for spoilers and read the most recent reviews out there just to see how I'd make my reviews different from the bunch. The bunch seems to be full of the most obvious edge of Game of Thrones among other cable programs and that's the show's boldness, risque content and violence.

More often than not these reviews share one word in common. If you guessed it right, yes it's the F-word. I really don't want to drop the F-word on any of my reviews here but this episode had the balls to make me say the 'F' after another. This was an F-ing explosive episode. Brian Kirk goes fast and furious on this episode with each scene designed to have you on the edge of your seat.

From the jaw-dropping mountain rage, shortly followed by an ambush to the epic last scenes. This is the mother of all episodes! This is a turning point to the story and I'm still on the 5th episode. What? Yes, that is how bloody good things went.

This is a very clever episode with the story moving and subplots subtly crossing each other with direct reference to the title. Say for example, this scene pretty much says the title! Notwithstanding the Sigils, personal history or where they came from, the Hound is a family of the wolf and Ser Loras Tyrell just looks a hell lot like a lion.

Finally we learned how much hatred there is in between the Lannisters and the Starks not only by the extended exchange of words but with the brutality involved at the end. And whilst action happens metaphors run wild through more conspiracies foreshadowing the inevitable change of tide. And on this episode, it was a red tide of brotherly fight, balls in little boxes, dragon skulls, crazy sister, homosexuality and an eye-opener for the wolves, especially for Jory Cassel. Gosh! It just keeps getting better and better. I'm ready to give another 5/5! :D
