Twilight, the NFL, The Hunger Games, the presidential race. Bad Lip Reading has done them all. None can compare to the newest offering from the first season of Game of Thrones. They make an entire movie trailer out of it called Medieval Land Fun-Time World and it is filled with so many great lines that more than one viewing is required. If only to hear Tyrion ask Joffrey if he thinks they should make iPhones for babies.
Cause he does.
Dark Horse revealed the first two figures in their Game of Thrones line at the San Diego Comic-Con set for release early next year.
Jon Snow and Daenerys will be released in January and retail for $24.99 each. They stand 7.5″ tall and come with their own mini-stand. They remind me a lot of the McFarlane Toys line of LOST figures which I still proudly have my Mr. Eko and Jin displayed today.
More figures will follow next year with Khal Drogo, Tyrion and Ned Stark making their way to shelves in May and five more unnamed characters throughout the rest of the year. May I suggest the Cersei and Jaime incest 2-pack?
For those of you that want to relive the intense heartache that was the third season of Game of Thrones, you will get your chance to next year. HBO has announced that Season 3 will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on February 18, 2014, just over a month before the premiere of Season 4.
To keep you invested while you wait HBO is letting you vote on what exclusive packaging will accompany the set at Best Buy’s nationwide. There are three different sets to choose from including three character covers and two different sets of house sigils. All you have to do is go and like the HBO Facebook page and like which set you want to occupy your shelf space.
Of the three I prefer the character profiles, but if I had my druthers, I would go a different route.
Look below to see, but be warned!
Do Not Scroll If You Have Not Finished Season 3!!!
Last Warning!
I would like a hologram cover where you turn it from side to side and this happens:
Well, it finally happened. The infamous RW. I waited not so patiently for three years for last night just to see the social media explosion and I was not disappointed in the least! If there is one thing about Game of Thrones (and George R.R. Martin), it is that you are fully vested in these characters and when an episode like “The Rains of Castamere” happens you are going to get a strong reaction.
How strong you may ask?
Well let’s take a look at a small sampling from YouTube last night of fans who filmed their friends and families watching the scene. I love the giggles of the fans who have obviously read the books as they watch their comrades absolutely LOSE. THEIR. SHIT.
Once again I must say:
Let’s have a bit of fun before the premiere of Game of Thrones this Sunday night shall we?
The good folks over at Vulture have created a cool little time waster called the Game of Thrones Random Death Generator. Now I have yet to see any like “touching Craster’s daughter, lose your nuts” or “have sex with Sam, die of shame”.
Click here to start your death tour of Westeros.
There are only a few short days left until [amazon_link id=”B0060MYM7O” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Game of Thrones[/amazon_link] premieres on HBO. Who’s ready? Who here is only watching the show and any of what I am about to type will make absolutely no sense to you?
Red Wedding, Meera and Jojen, Thoros of Myr, Mance Rayder, Tormund Giantsbane, Sam the Slayer, stumpy Jaime.
But you will know soon enough.
Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday, March 31st.

Damn there is too much good TV going right now. We are closing in on the end of The Walking Dead, Vikings is way better than I had thought it would be and Bates Motel premiered last night. Let’s not forget that we are also only a few short weeks away from Season 3 of Game of Thrones.
HBO has released a new trailer with a ton of new footage in it including what I like to call “Brienne and Jaime’s Excellent Adventure”.
Was that bear I saw? Hell yeah it was! Brienne doesn’t care! She takes what she wants!!
Game of Thrones premieres on March 31st.
Does Game of Thrones have too much death, tits and incest for your liking? Is your version of drama a good night of One Tree Hill? Then you will definitely want to take a look at School of Thrones, a new web series that has just started on YouTube.
The family warfare mixes with class cliques with very CW-like results. I got a bit of a kick out of it as all the characters were introduced. They were quite clever with matching up the personas well with high school life. Episode 1 is below and Episode 2 will be out on March 17th.
A little tits and incest wouldn’t hurt either.
Greyjoys!!
For those of you that have read at least up until A Storm of Swords, then you know just how important the next season (or two if they split the book) is to the Game of Thrones universe. And for those of you that simply watch the show I will not spoil anything sufficed to say, if the first season pissed you off….just get ready.
HBO has released a collection of character posters for the upcoming third season. Tyrion, Arya, Cercei and others are cast in a pale blue light in the posters. May I just ask HBO where are my posters for Brienne and Davos??
Season 3 of Game of Thrones premieres on March 31st.
I will readily admit I am excited about Riddick. Despite all the crap I give Vin Diesel, I liked [amazon_link id=”B001RTCP1A” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Pitch Black[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”B001RTCP10″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Chronicles of Riddick[/amazon_link]. Now this September he and director David Twohy are ready to finish their trilogy. Images have slowly been getting out on the new adventure which will see Riddick stranded on a planet being hunted by the alien inhabitants and hunters trying to collect a bounty on his head.
The newest shot to make its way online has a decidedly Game of Thrones look to it except instead of the doomed Sean Bean on the Iron Throne we get Riddick sitting atop a throne of bones. Why I did not call it the Bone Throne should be painfully obvious to you or any woman I have gone out with.
Riddick releases on September 6th.
